I've watched professional football for over 50 years and never seen a referee (Oliver) shake the hand of a player he's just booked. Perhaps he'll invite him for lunch if there's any lengthy stoppage in extra time
PS. Wonder if Costa will face any retrospective action for two stamping incidents. Any bets??

With regards to Costa coffee, if it means he'll miss the final then no they'll make sure that Oliver puts in his report that he saw the incidents and didn't see anything amiss.

It's Michael Oliver so don't be surprised if they swap shirts at the end of the game as well

Did look strange but to be fair the way id seen it was that Ivanovic committed the foul and instigated the handshake in a kind of Ok I admit I've committed the foul Ref & I understand you've got to book me, no hard feelings kind of way. Hadn't watched it back to see who offered the handshake first but that was my interpretation of it.

Jimmy Case did it when he cut down Bryan Robson in the 80s and shook the refs hand when he sent him off

Hadn't watched it back to see who offered the handshake first but that was my interpretation of it. That's exactly what happened. No big deal. |

If the regular chant about referees is true, I hope he washed his hands first.

As way of an apology Robson shook hands with him as he walked off. Case accepted it knowing they were both hardened pros. |
