The Premier League has confirmed that the pre-match handshake between Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea on Saturday will go ahead as planned.
There were suggestions that the ritual could be scrapped due to concerns because of the anticipated meeting of Rs defender Anton Ferdinandhttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif and Blueshttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif skipper John Terry.http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif
England centre-back Terry was found not guilty of using a racial slur against Ferdinand in the corresponding fixture last October but remains the subject of a Football Association investigation, having denied all charges relating to the matter.Terry and team-mate Ashley Cole,http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif who was called as a witness in the court case, have recovered from the ankle injuries which restricted their involvement in England's recent World Cup qualifiers and are both expected to feature.
Ferdinand is fit to play after overcoming a shoulder problem and both clubs, who have appealed for calm from their supporters prior to the clash, have been informed that there will be no change to the usual rituals prior to kick-off.
The tradition was abandoned in advance of the previous two encounters between the clubs with court proceedings still pending, but the Premier League will not adopt that stance on this occasion.
Their statement read: "There has been dialogue between the Premier League, Queens Park Rangershttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif and Chelseahttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif in relation to tomorrow's match between the two clubs.
"All parties understand and acknowledge the pre-match handshake will go ahead as part of the normal pre-match activities."
Blues boss Roberto di Matteo insisted his players would have no problem shaking hands, while counterpart Mark Hugheshttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif was more guarded but admitted they would be guided by the decision from the game's rulers.
Really this handshake rubbish, they really need to get rid off it tbh.
Terry and Cole declared fit for Chelsea :popcorn:
RVC fit for Man****er United
Hope Caldwell takes him out for being the **** he was last season when RVC refused to shake hands
Odd to have all four Champions League teams all playing at 3pm. Should be fairly easy to work out what is happening at our game if streams aren't working. Just listen out for Le Tiss.
