Carrick - Pearson handshake

Pearson wouldn't let go of his hand.
Carrick was smiling politely but trying to get away. Much in the same way you would if a dodgy drunk in a pub insisted on pulling on your hand while telling you that you were 'sound as you mate'.

He was asking if there was any chance of taking Haydn Hackney off our hands.
 
I just think he was telling young Carrick he liked what he saw and was wishing him success in his new role at Boro.
 
No he was just checking that he wasn't an ostrich. Pearson's been making sure people aren't ostriches since the late 80s. A lot of folk think it was just the press conference, whilst in fact he's been doing it for ages. Word on the street is that he persuaded Robson to sign Jan aage fjortoft to check if he was an ostrich. Turned out he was just a bloke with a long neck.

As an ostrich, I don't know if I find this offensive. I'm going to take a dust bath and peck at my feet while I think about it.
 
Pearson is a bully, it'll be him trying to show Carrick how much of a tough guy he is.
Yeah, sounds like peanut 🥜 heads way of somehow trying to intimidate Carrick in some way. Be interesting to see the game away and how that goes.
I’m sure Pearson was probably a bit patronising and telling Carrick stuff he already knew….
 
Would of been funny if he replied to him it’s ok Nigel i don’t need your advice if you were any good you’d of been in this dug out and not that one.
 
Prolonged contact in this way may denote romantic interest, or at least a warm feeling, if the handshake is lessened slightly and the hand held gently. It also keeps you in place so they may speak to you. However, extended contact with a brusk or tight grip is trying to establish dominance.... probably the latter but who knows?
 
If you’ve ever shook hands with John Hendrie you’ll know what a proper hand shake feels like - grip like a vice that lad 👍🏻
