Exactly!They were fine until SAF had the temerity to suggest that Liverpool may find the run in difficult. Which in turn caused Rafa's meltdown.
You can't expect saf to be friendly with someone who questions his integrity.

if it isn't a big deal, then why is it an issue if he doesn't?I don't think many people care about the actual hand shaking process, but if Benitez wants to shake his hand, why does Fergie refuse? Just get a life and do it, even if it's like the Wenger-Pulis one earlier this season.
I've said before on this forum that you should be willing to shake hands with anyone. I'd shake hands with Mugabe. It doesn't mean I accept his policies. You're touching their hand, it's hardly a big deal.
Shaking hands is a gesture representing a statement. Why SAF wants to put on a gesture like that? There is no reason.I don't think many people care about the actual hand shaking process, but if Benitez wants to shake his hand, why does Fergie refuse? Just get a life and do it, even if it's like the Wenger-Pulis one earlier this season.

You have no right to say such a thing! It's daftGet a life, Sir Alex! Get a fecking life!
You people get it all wrong there! Who is complaining? The fat waiter who wanted to put on a show. Why is he complaining and acting like a crying baby? That, is the real question!
I think they should have shook hands, instead of acting like little brats.
Am not so sure if his players would want to shake his hands either if not for fear their wages would be deducted.What did Rafa expect? Even his own team fans wouldn't shake his hands.
Fergie is being just as big a baby if he did not offer to shake the hand.You people get it all wrong there! Who is complaining? The fat waiter who wanted to put on a show. Why is he complaining and acting like a crying baby? That, is the real question!
Chill, man.You have no right to say such a thing! It's daft

I dont believe for one second you would shake Rafa's hand if you were SAF. There is no need. Period!!!Fergie is being just a big baby if he did not offer to shake the hand.
If there is anyone who should get a life, it's Rafa, not SAF!Chill, man.

You were referring to Rafa? (that is if you still have some decency left in you!)
Drama queen
On the contrary!! SAF is a bigger man than you think! By not caring about the whole thing, he should be respected and not being belittled.Fergie can be petulant. He should be the bigger man and offer to shake his hand and then nobody cares.
It's hardly a big story but still, shake his hand and there is no story at all.
The end.
My thoughts exactly. If he had tried to apologise but Fergie refused to hear it, then, he has a right to complain. By saying "alot of people were watching, I am waiting, and waiting....", where's is the sincererity and the cause for complaint? Drama queenDid Rafa ever apologize for his 'rant'? did he ever also apologize to Chelsea fans for his remark? Nope. Well, you'd expect more from a self-proclaimed classy and educated man. What's that slogan again? "... ashamed of nothing."
I refuse to believe this isn't scripted by Mockney.“Yes. I was waiting. I was waiting for him. I was waiting at the beginning.
“Ask him. I was waiting,there was nothing wrong.
“You have to ask him [why he didn’t shake hands]. Ask him. You are brave enough, ask him.
“I was waiting, I have some education. I was waiting, I have education because I know a lot of people are watching, so I know what you have to do.”
Very rude for you to say such a thing!Red evil 2, I know this is probably not the impression you wanted people to take from your staunch defense of the great man there, but I think you're suffering from a nasty scouseritis.
Not funny!redevil2 goes into meltdown.
But he did shake his hand after that. If he wanted to make point, he should have snubbed him in the immediate aftermath, instead of now.Very rude for you to say such a thing!
I am not defending him. I dare anyone on here who were in Fergie's position would want to shake Rafa hand after what had happened!
Fergie is within his right to not do what he didnt want to do in the situation and still stand tall methinks!
'I have education, I have experience, I have waited for many years. I waited at Valenthia, at Liverpool, at Inter, and now at Chelsea. Always waiting. You ask heem, you are brave enough, I am not. You ask heem why I am left waiting, he knows, he controls eet all. I am told to take the blue pill, he tells me go, I wait at Chelsea, the fans, they don't like me. You think this is coincidence? You think this is real? I am telling you what I think, this is like the films. I will say no more. You know what I am saying. He is the architect, you go and see heem, you are brave enough, you are the one. I am not, I am just waiting. I am the waiter.'
I thought you only shake hands with manager. Not an interim one.
you're on a rollWhat did Rafa expect? Even his own team fans wouldn't shake his hands.

Haha.... I've read it twice so I can laugh more.'I have education, I have experience, I have waited for many years. I waited at Valenthia, at Liverpool, at Inter, and now at Chelsea. Always waiting.
