Tension mounts over intra-Accies handshake

Just five days after the now infamous Wayne Bridge/John Terry blah blah handshake that never was blah blah blah, once again the eyes of the football world are on two men's right hands. As it were. After months as a splitter, travelling to Palace on his own in a car (carbon footprint!), tonight Miami Dade will return to London Bridge and the more eco-friendly confines of the 19.08 train. But teammate Shaky Mesner, still seething from the snub, is threatening to refuse to shake the hand of the Accies right-back on meeting him this evening.

"Who can blame him?" asked one ill-informed pundit. "If Miami thinks he can just waltz back as though the past few months never happened, he's sorely mistaken. The wounds of this snub run deeper than some of the puddles on the pitch last Thursday. I don't know if they'll ever press flesh again." Your reporter will of course be there to witness the handshake-or-not, but sadly I've left my camera at home today, so it may not be captured for posterity. Unless anyone knows how to get CCTV footage off London Bridge train station security?

A nation holds its breath...
