Calling Rio Ferdinand a c*nt and calling Henderson a c*nt, it's not the same.

True - it's not the same.

If you say the former, you might have intellectually dishonest posters like Ravishing Rick Dude use innuendo and 'I'm just asking questions' tactics to insinuate that you are racist (despite no evidence of it, and despite knowing nothing about those posters) to point score or close down criticism that he doesn't like

Hendo is our legend

Nah, you don't speak for me or us - he's your legend. Up to everyone else what they think, but he's not mine

I've just put the image on the LFC Twitter page.

Some truly abhorrent anti-vax nonsense on there.

It's almost as if Henderson picked LGBTQ as a handy cause to hang his hat on without realising that people would become emotionally invested in his stance and have an opinion on it when he decided that something else (money) was more important to him, so he jettisoned the cause.

Not just for me, for Klopp as well. If the boss says he's a Liverpool legend, then he is.

So yeah, he's OUR legend. If you don't agree, you're supporting the wrong club.

Yeah Hendo will be a legend in so far as what he did as a club, but he’ll never be revered like the likes of Kenny or Barnes and many more who have achieved less. You can never take away his achievements, which are unquestioningly legend-making, but his legacy will always be tainted by being a bit of a shit c*nt human being.

My twopence on Hendo is that to me, he was always a bit of a shit footballer but a phenomenal captain. Super limited, but inspirational. I feel that his ability to inspire came from two places, his desire to constantly improve himself despite his technical limitations, but also as a leader of men and having a character that as far as professional athletes went , almost unimpeachable.

People have been pelting him for ages for being shit, and I, like many others stood by him despite his fucking limitations because he seemed to embody what the club stands for. What he has done has flown in the face of our support for him. And to call it what it is, he was absolutely shit last year. Like proper shit, and he got a go and a pass because he was Liverpool captain and he was a captain you’d support because you thought he was a decent bastard. Now he’s shown his true colours, people can call him out for the piece of shit footballer that he was as he’s lost the protection of the armour that being a good human being gives you.

As for Stevie, said in the past that I’ve always viewed him as a bit of a shithead. Steven Gerrard M.B.E. was always a thing. But at least he was a proper fucking footballer. Fuck Jordan Henderson the two faced twat. Legendary captain of a legendary football club, but a horrible human being.

Snip

People are emotional and say what they think are truths. That includes you presumably. Just take a step back and let it go, there’s no need to keep beating this drum which you obviously believe in …

Nah. As I said, up to you what you think - but you definitely don't speak for LFC or our supporters

At least you've given up (or tacitly accepted) that you were wrong to go round dishonestly alluding to RAWKites being racist because you didn't like their views on Henderson

Correct.
He accused me of being racist yesterday via a PM and is now on my ignore list.
I suspect he's also on quite a few other posters ignore lists too.

Far from the first time he has done that - falsely accusing others on here of racism or islamophobia...

Rick's a troll, mate. Lies about mod actions against him, makes knowingly false claims of "islamophobia" against other posters here, uses whataboutery to try and stir up shit amongst posters. Has a habit if stepping right up to the line of what is acceptable... then stepping back... and disappearing for a while, before starting again. Only surprised the mods haven't binned off yet.

I put him on ignore a while back - a number of others did too. Time on RAWK is far more enjoyable without reading his pathetic attempts at trolling and talking shite.

When people saw through his troll MO, and started highlighting it, he even started doing the classic troll trope of 'attempting to playing the victim' with... 'I am the one being attacked here'.

Though it still didn't stop him continuing to accuse others of racism just a few posts later.
 
He was already a fair few posters' ignore lists - probably even more so, of late.

[Rush 82]

Superb, just superb.

[Indomitable_Carp]

I think this might have finally killed my love for the game. Struggling to give a shite about this coming season (even though I think we'll do well). My disconnection to the sport is even now feeding into a disconnection with LFC. Even though I think we're a well run club within the modern context, and I know we're absolutely blessed to have a man like Klopp, I'm struggling to associate anything in this big money mercenary era with the past. Even the new stand - which would normally have me very excited - just has me thinking there's another 7,000 seats for a bunch of tourists half of whom would probably love it if we took Saudi gold. Maybe that's unfair, but fuck it that's how I feel.

He's probably the worst poster on the forum. He jumped on immediately after the 2022 Champions League final to blame the loss on Salah, accused 70% of Liverpool fans of not appreciating Mané and forcing him out of the club and regularly defends sportswashing, with these pretty disgusting accusations of racism.

Well it seems like TT is watching him closely so …

He thankfully won't be making any more posts on here. Though let's not give him the air of any further publicity - it is likely what he was seeking for much of his time on here.

Named captain of Al-Ettifaq

This is where my heart was.

[CornerFlag]

He's a blert. Stevie's a blert (thought that for the longest time tbf).  Enjoy the blood money.

[Yorkykopite]

So Jordan gets the wear the number 10 shirt. Is the league that poor?

[tubby]

He's a nimble, silky playmaker for his new team.

He's the English Messy (sic)

[SvenJohansen]

Wow look at that XI choc full of star names, they should go far. Hopefully far, far away.

[classycarra]

Might take grief for this but I really do think it says something about him (and reveals his view of where he's playing) that he's taken the number 10 shirt!

Blindly following one man like he’s God is ridiculous. And I love Jurgen, but he’s a human being. He has flaws just like the rest of us.

I reckon Klopp will have his personal thoughts on the Saudi exodus and those who basically retire from the game in order to bathe in the blood money. He's got far too much class to throw the likes of his ex captain under the bus, though. He'll let the actions of those players do that for themselves.

I'm sure he has the utmost professional respect for Henderson, and when talking in a professional capacity his wording will reflect that. At home, he will no doubt have his private thoughts on the wider implications of what's going on and those who are enabling it.

[Kashinoda]

[Red Beret]

Very big of him there - especially considering the  gaping hole Gerrard just left in our midfield by depriving us of two key players. 

[classycarra]

hahaha what a bellend. embarrassing stuff

look forward to more of this from henderson and gerrard, self-aggrandising (both themselves and their new clubs) off the back of association with LFC (association, like a parasite to host)

[jillcwhomever]

Quite! Unbelievable shite from him there. 

[BoRed]

Do we have any proof that that's a real quote?

He's never been the sharpest tool in the box, but this would be taking it to another level. What a way to back his new captain.

[redgriffin73]

Love the fact that quote basically translates to - yeah, Hendo was shit for the Reds so I thought I'd bring him over here.

The arrogance of thinking they can just snap their fingers when they feel like it for players though.

[classycarra]

He's never been the sharpest tool in the box, but this would be taking it to another level. What a way to back his new captain.

It is extra funny for the tacit reminder from his new boss that Hendo was shite last year, and that he wasn't signed for the football side of things

[Yorkykopite]

It sounds like a made-up quote to me.

[No666]

Perfect (if real) when bookended with Henderson's quotes today.

[Terry de Niro]

It sounds like a made-up quote to me.

I would have loved it to be real, but I agree.

[Samie]

It's real, he was getting interviewed for the new season over there.

[classycarra]

It's real, it's been widely reported on (away from tweeted images) and not just by tabloids/clickbait sites

Perfect (if real) when bookended with Henderson's quotes today.

ooh gonna look these up, enjoying the ridicule these numpties are inviting on themselves

[alonsoisared]

It is a real quote and it was obviously a joke
