An observation from last night:
Jordan Henderson
12 seasons
360 games
Winners medals:
Premier League
FA Cup
2x League Cup
Champions League
Super Cup
Club World Cup
Moved on because wanted to play regularly and couldn't get that at Liverpool
Booed whenever he touched the ball (not just on the penalty)
What are we doing?
29 Oct 2026 10:33:41
He plays for Chelsea, booing was to be expected ?.
29 Oct 2026 10:36:38
Another example of match going fans letting down the rest of us.
Only a matter of timne before other fans start talking with their feet. And by that i mean getting up and walking to their wifi routers to turn them off.
I'd like to see the club play the rest of the seaon behind closed doors. That'll teach them (imagine me shaking my fist currently)
29 Oct 2026 10:41:02
Not sure what the point is you're making JK?
29 Oct 2026 10:45:35
I understand what you're saying. The majority of Liverpool fans gave him dog's abuse in his last season at the club and couldn't wait to get rid of him. Apparently his legs had gone. Then they boo him for continuing his career elsewhere which does show a real lack of self awareness and class.
That being said he's now a Chelsea player and was playing against Liverpool at Anfield so I really couldn't care less.
I might not understand their reasons for booing but it all adds to the atmosphere and makes it harder for the opposition to play their natural game so I'm ok with it.
What I do have a problem with is our own fans booing their own team or current players. That is unforgivable for me.
29 Oct 2026 11:02:44
Pretty sure most of our team would get booed if they went to Chelsea, Man United or 115.
29 Oct 2026 11:12:23
After being made Liverpool captain for years, he decided to join Chelsea to be a bit-time player. Not sure if you remember that rivalry back in the noughties but this isn't hard.
29 Oct 2026 11:12:30
When he played for Brentford, he received a hero's welcome.
Chelsea are a despised club, for many reason, and still, a bloke choosing the project best suited to his aims and objectives is not a crime.
29 Oct 2026 11:22:29
Sir Bob it was a reply on a banter page mate, whether you understand my point or not is of no direct relevance to me.
Beckers how many is majority?
29 Oct 2026 12:10:55
I found it out of line to be honest. He was a great servant to the club, won more and did more for us than Alonso (who I love), but Alonso didn't get any stick.
29 Oct 2026 12:11:19
More than the minority JK.
29 Oct 2026 12:17:20
He wasn't being booed just because he now plays for Chelsea. He upset a lot of people both with the way he left (claiming he felt unwanted) and by moving to Saudi. For so long he supported the LFC LGBT+ community but his move to Saudi suggested that he was happy to overlook all of the things he talked about and claimed to support if the money was good enough.
Fans don't boo ex-players for no reason. Look at the reception Robbo got - fans respect those who they deem worthy. Hendo undoubtedly earned that respect through what he achieved at Liverpool but that doesn't mean that you automatically keep that status. Also, Hendo showed zero respect to Liverpool or the fans during the game and whilst being booed, he had a huge grin on his face as he carried the ball up to the penalty area prior to their penalty - there was no need for him to get involved in that situation, that was his choice and it felt antagonistic. He was giving out vibes that he is the kind of guy who would have kissed the Chelsea badge in front of the kop if he had scored.
29 Oct 2026 12:21:15
Hahaha was that across all 500 million world fan base mate.
I'll be honest I never heard anyone mention his legs had gone. If Hendo can be praised for anything it's his professionalism and how he keeps himself fit.
I definitely heard moans and groans about him only passing sideways and backwards but diidnt record the number of fans in my spreadsheet to work out if it was majority or minority.
Also I'm not sure if I was living under a rock at the time but I'm sure Hendo pushed for the move himself to grow the sport in Saudi.
Klopp wanted him to stay but wouldn't stand in the way of him following his dream and move.
Did I boo last night No.
Was I offended by anyone who did. Also no.
29 Oct 2026 12:30:33
It's cause he went to Chelsea, he knew it would happen, that's why he was laughing about it. Had he gone to any other team bar Chelsea, City, Utd, Everton or Arsenal, there'd be no issue, he wasn't booed when he was at Brentford. Also, he was giving it loads to the ref trying to get decisions too, possibly arguing for L'pool players to be booked, that was completely unnecessary and got everyone even more riled up.
There's bad blood between us and Chelsea, which won't be forgotten anytime soon.
29 Oct 2026 13:01:19
The booing didn't really start until the penalty, especially given the way he got into the referees face to ensure the spot-kick was given.
Him grabbing the ball to wind the crowd up that he was going to take the penalty didn't help much either.
No doubt he regrets leaving the club as he didn't want to be a benchwarmer, and wanted guaranteed football. That didn't work out to well for him though.
29 Oct 2026 13:05:43
Great servant to the club. Understand the Chelsea thing but I Wudnt boo Hendo. Team is crying out for someone like him now.
29 Oct 2026 14:01:33
Why do we have to boo anyone except in the most extreme cases?
Hendo is a club legend, if you don't want to give him an applause because he's wearing a Chelsea shirt that's ok. But don't boo the man, it's just a shame on the club.
Boo cheats, boo some of the unsavoury characters in the game by all means, but not a club legend.
I wouldn't boo any ex-players except maybe Sterling, Suarez and El-Hadji Diouf.
29 Oct 2026 17:41:18
You're actually agreeing with what I said anyway JK. You didn't boo but you don't care if others did. Pretty much echoing what I said.
I do remember being in the Kop when we played Leicester back in 2018 and we had a lot of injuries so Hendo played RB and really was getting hounded by the majority of the Kop. There were actually arguments breaking out between the minority and the majority regarding said abuse.
There are about £12, 800 seats in the Kop and I'd say at least 6, 401 people were giving him abuse. I did try counting but I got to 6, 398 when my mate turned up with my Scouse pie so lost count. Some things are just more important.
29 Oct 2026 18:17:16
Bp that's because I actually did agree with 99% of your post mate just not the legs gone bit.
Cracking reply though mate tickled me. I'm guessing 2018 was the year before you gave up them 2 season tickets ?. Funny that because that was the same year I gave up my yacht and private jet.
29 Oct 2026 18:51:28
No JK I gave up my season ticket in the early 90s when I moved away.
That's why I'm not worthy to be in your presence because you are a regular match going fan so your opinion obviously means considerably more than mine.
I'm just like the majority of other posters on here in that regard. I haven't counted but I'm pretty sure that's the case.
29 Oct 2026 19:09:59
Hahah calm down mate bit melodramatic.
I can see you like to give a joke but can't take one.
How many user names you on now?
29 Oct 2026 19:25:33
I'm calm JK I'm just picking up on your superior attitude and I'm wondering why you think this way.
I think every single one of us on this site and fans all around the world would love to be in your shoes going to Anfield week in week out but for the majority (there's that word again) it's just not possible. That doesn't make you any better than anyone else though mate.
As you know (I'm sure you know but you choose not to believe me for some reason) I was brought up on The Wirral and had a season ticket as a teenager (thanks to my grandad) but I feel privileged to have had that opportunity, not superior.
You are seriously in a position that so many would give anything for but you seem to think that makes you better than them. Weird.
29 Oct 2026 20:03:02
Beckers I was having a bit of banter with you. I thought your reply was funny so I gave you a bit back. Not sure how you've then concluded it's because I have a superior attitude.
One of us constantly gets banned mate for showing a superior attitude.
29 Oct 2026 20:26:16
Ok mate fair enough. When you talk about people turning their WiFi routers off it comes across as you saying you are better than them because you actually go to games and they watch at home.
It’s not the first time you said stuff like that either.
Perhaps I misread it.
29 Oct 2026 20:43:53
It was tongue in cheek mate on a banter site. I don't care how fans want to watch or support any team they choose to.
If fans want to get offended or preach YNWA whenever their favourite player gets criticised or claim to be the greatest fans in the world then good for them.
We're all Liverpool fans and at the end of the day we all had the option of choosing a club from the estimated 4, 400 professional clubs and we all stumbled across Liverpool for a number of various reasons.
How boring would the site be if everyone thought the same. I actually enjoy reading your posts and I engage with you because I enjoy them. But that doesn't mean I have to agree with them.
29 Oct 2026 21:31:43
Good job too JK. If I ever said anything that you agree with I'd be wrong ;-)
29 Oct 2026 21:42:29
Pretty sure I said a few posts up I agreed with 99% of your post.
I imagine you throw yourself regular pity parties.
29 Oct 2026 22:00:44
Doesn't matter if a person is inside the ground o4 sitting in an igloo at the North Pole. It' doesn't matter if it's Brentford or Chelsea, it's about respect for an ex-captain of and player for the club who lead us to a lot of success with his efforts on behalf of the club and fans.
I's have thought that was a fairly simple thing to understand.
@JK23, we all get that you go to the match and we all get that you are touchy about 'super fan' and you think that 'going to the match' apparently entitles you a 'premium' opinion, but you (and your convenient sense of humour) are missing the point on this one - it's about respect for a bloke who gave a lot for the club, not about how people who have ever met the guy chose to imagine what his motives in life are.
I'd add the I went to about 90% of home game from the early 1960's to the early 1990's and to about 30-40% of the away games over the same portion before moving to live abroad. Not sure which side of the fence that might put me on .
29 Oct 2026 22:43:03
Could never bring myself to boo him, although I am very disappointed with 2/3 clubs he has represented since he and the club parted ways. They just don't match the image I had of him in my mind when he was lifting trophies as Liverpool captain. Whether or not that is a realistic or fair standard to hold someone to is another story entirely.
Regardless, as much I was frustrated and upset by Trent leaving, I could never boo him or any of the players responsible for giving me the best decade of following the club. I remember a time for Liverpool when Champions League qualification was a distant dream. When Jovanovic, Konchesky, Poulsen and Joe Cole was our summer business. I know it got better before Klopp came in, but afaic everyone involved with moving us as far away from that reality as possible is worthy of Sainthood. Hendo is firmly in that category.
29 Oct 2026 23:37:08
He left for Saudi to secure a fat bag of cash, and sold out the Lmnopeople along the way. Then joined a club who's fans have disrespected the lives and families of those lost in one of the world's worst footballing tragedies.
No idea why anybody's surprised he was booed, or why they'd try to argue a case against it. Wouldn't boo myself, but I fully understand anybody who did.
Writing this from my igloo.
30 Oct 2026 05:21:21
WDW pot calling kettle black.
Thank you for the advice though none of which I'll take ?.
