The entire Black Stars team should boycott hand shaking the entire English team if they try this foolishness. Partey should be positioned in such a way that his hands will be shaken first. Kwashiaa sane!

I hope the English do not take that action because it's prejudicial and it's against their own law and that of the civilised world. The players and their officials should know better. Ghana will not disown Partey. We're solidly behind him. He's going through tough times and he needs our backing. Stay strong, Thomas.

You don’t seem to appreciate the psychological warfare the weak English people are trying to wage on the BS. Partey should be the captain for that match.

Standing in solidarity with a person charged with raping women? Until proven guilty or not he is in the grips of the law.
Do you think it is proper to have a player charged with rape in the national team? What good impression will that create for the team and the nation?
Partey has nor brought any respect to the team abd the nation.

Another low IQ individual who believes everything the racists say. Tell the English FA to look into the Epstien files... nkwasiss3m. They appointed a UK ambassador to Washington who was implicated in the Epstien scandal leading to calls for the PM to resign. Per the law, Partey is innocent until proven guilty, they should give us a break because they have no moral right to lecture us especially at a time when powerful politicians who talked about grabbing women and young girls by their pu...sies, are being elected to office.

Racist bastards! Why are they declaring someone "guilty" of a crime he may not have committed? As far as the law is concerned, Partey is innocent, because no Court has pronounced him guilty in any trial-at least so far. I hope this is not an attempt to cajole the British judges to find Partey guilty as charged by all means!

Stop your blind nationalistic support for Partey. He has been charged with raping women and that alone should disqualify him from being a member of the Black Stars.
Whether found guilty or not he is in the grips of the law and his image and character dented.
Inviting him to join the national team is a very poor decision.

Immediately the handshaking ritual begins and Partey is snubbed, all our players should automatically withdraw their hands in solidarity!!! The guy is yet to be found guilty, so WTF!!! Good luck to Partey!!!

Who will respect and take serious a nation whose national team contains a player charged with raping women? I won't be surprised if during the matches he gets booed on the pitch.
A very bad decision to invite him to join the Black Stars.

Shut the up. Charged doesn't mean convicted.
Benjamin Mendy was charged, but he was proven not guilty in court. If someone accuses you of bank robbery and you are arrested, does that mean you are guilty?

Handshake, milk shake, ass shake it’s all part of life. Some people touch knuckles rather than shake a hand. Best way to answer is to go and put on a performance. Mark them, run faster than them, play with desire to win despite psychological intimidation. The dribblers must up their game. Then after we will see who will shake whose hands.
