World's Longest Substitution?

In February 2003 Canada played Libya in a friendly soccer match. The Libyans were particularly grateful as they were having difficulty in attracting opponents to play them at home. So grateful that a few moments after Canada made it 3-1, Saadi Gaddafi, son of Libya leader Muammar al-Gaddafi and member of the Libyan national soccer team, when being substituted out of the match, made the point of shaking the hand of every single Canadian players on the field before he departed. He wasn't done there, proceeding to shake the hands of all of Canadian coaches, staff and players on the bench. And to prove that he's not without a sense of humour, check out what he does at the end of the video to the Libyan police officer.....

I was there yesterday, he's still shaking hands on his way out.

[MrElefuntastic]

Like his father, they just dont wanna leave!

He should have shaken hands with the Libyan police officer, who I guess could have stood there for about 2 hours......

I guess there is nothing wrong with being polite and friendly?

Well, he could have stripped down naked and went streaking in front of the whole pitch, killed his coach and punched all his team-mates and not be sanctioned for it. He was above the law at the time, he's Gaddafi's son!

Jerdan are you a group of people?Here is a reminder for you:"Gaddafi tribes, Gaddafi cities, Gaddafi strongholds, Gaddafi positions, Gaddafi mercenaries, Gaddafi snipers, Gaddafi loyalists." That's how the media and jerdans are describing Libyans.True revolutionaries don't need paychecks, freedom is enough of reward! And regarding "dictators stealing" here's one for you about "Gaddafi assets":

But I bet you knew this and are still lying,jerdan!

@moidc First, whoever call rats to a group of people just because they have a different point of view is an idiot, so keep the good work.  Second, people need they paychecks for the work they do. People from Misurata and Benghazi didn't went to sleep until they were paid. They fought to save their own lives and the lives of their families. Dictators don't get paychecks. The steal as much money as they can and their supporters are happy living around the table collecting the crumbs that fell.

@FerFer1958

Yeah yeah "dictator", "freedom fighters" you've missed to mention the "42 years" "argument"! If Misurata and Benghazi rats were real revolutionaries and didn't fight for money, why are they protesting to finally receive the paychecks from March and later?

No, you are not an idiot, I never said that. You are worse, you are a jerdan!
