Chelsea and QPR hold talks over pre-match handshake in derby By Sportsmail Reporter PUBLISHED: 21:30 GMT, 23 April 2012 | UPDATED: 21:30 GMT, 23 April 2012 Share Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers will hold talks this week regarding the potentially explosive pre-match handshake ahead of Sunday's clash. The Premier League encounter will resurrect the long-standing race row between Anton Ferdinand and John Terry. Race row: Terry and Ferdinand clashed in October Terry is due to appear in court on July 9 to face criminal charges over allegations he racial abused Ferdinand during the clash between the two clubs on October 23. Sportsmail revealed on Thursday how QPR players would hold a team-meeting ahead of making a collective decision on whether to shake Terry's hand this weekend. In training: Terry will appear in court on July 9 And both clubs will also discuss the matter after tonight's crucial Champions League semi-final showdown in Barcelona. The west London rivals could ask the Premier League to scrap the handshake altogether but as it stands the top-flight officials are adamant it will go ahead. Ferdinand is seeking advice from his legal team regarding how his decision regarding whether to shake Terry's hand could prejudice his case.

dont know about you lot but going all the way to derby just for a pre match handshake is just plain stupid
"Prejudice his case"? I thought it was an independent investigation following complaints from the public? Either I've completely missed something or this ****ty journalism is contributing to all the horrific stuff that Anton is being subjected to
Once again 'same old QPR'!!!! Focus on the match and not the handshake!!! We are fighting for our survival and long term goals and we don't need to ruin it over something like this. This will only make Chelsea want to beat us even more. Why is it always us?
