I KNOW how to defend, im just not very good at it

Let’s start booing the next time the team is having a stinker. It’s an emotional reaction, no? Fuck it, let’s go full Everton because grown people can’t control themselves in public. Or is it ok for them to behave however they want because they were part of a larger group? I have the feeling that very few of them would boo TAA if they came face to face with him on the street.
So, we’ve come to the conclusion that TAA is a cunt after spending 20 years at the club. The evil bastard colluded with those pricks in order to screw us out of a transfer fee.
Much easier to do so when there’s no concrete interest from a bigger club.

As Jürgen put it, although I’m sure he was just trying to police fans’ emotions, if the owners of the club don’t care about any “lost” transfer fees, why the hell do fans care so much?
If people want to believe rumours willy-nilly, then explain how we desperately need a transfer fee from him, and yet somehow can break the British transfer record?
Boo boys bullshit attempt to justify their booing
You are missing the point though.
We are not a crowd that boos players. The fact that this is so singular is what makes it notable.
The fact that Trent got a hostile reception is because there were people bitterly disappointed by how he had gone about this, and the fact that these are not people prone to being hostile over a drop of a hat should give you a clue as to why it matters.

I’m sorry lads. I like and respect you all. But the idea that Madrid and Trent merely took advantage of a fortuitous contract situation is really quite naive.
Of course Trent and Madrid have worked this out. Madrid have a long track record of doing this.
We’ll see in the summer, but I suspect they are playing this game with Konate as well.
Anyway, I’m done with it now. Like I say, they booing wasn’t my cup of tea. But I’m not going to people how to react. Hopefully he can get a good reception tomorrow and then we can all move on.

Couldn’t have said this better. Nicely put. (Post 1611)
The idea that Real Madrid and Alexander-Arnold is really quite naïvely conspiratorial.
It genuinely works in his favour no matter what to use the leverage of his contract situation to get the best of both worlds. It genuinely works in Real Madrid’s favour to attempt to sign a player whose contract is running down. It doesn’t mean that they had any “collusion”.
The only reason why you don’t see our club do this more, I suspect, is simply because we don’t shop in that type of market. There’s a reason why Endō had thought his opportunity to play for us had passed many years ago. We don’t, as a general rule, sign players who are the finished article. The wages and signing fees seem to rule such deals out from a financial perspective.
I haven’t visited this thread for a while because I didn’t want to hear any more justifications for the booing.
Can’t we just move on?
The guy’s going, he’s served us well, but he wants a new challenge. Is that so hard to accept?
We’re moving on, bringing in exciting new talents. Let’s look forward to the future, because it’s looking really bright.

Anyone in particular?
Not @Livvy obviously
I don’t understand why it’s so hard for some people to understand that people can have different opinions on this topic. I just find it annoying that this isn’t accepted here.

It’s hard to tell given your outrage.

Even though I try to view things from a neutral perspective, I find this hyper-moralistic approach of some people truly disgusting. Calling someone scum just because they have a different perspective on things is the lowest of the low.
I’ll be glad when this is all over.

Chances are, a large percentage of the supporters inside Anfield who booed Trent are regular match goers.
Some random armchair internet user calling them scum or a disgrace is as fucked up as it gets.
Pipe down random internet user, no-one cares what you think

Some people can’t handle success and turning into cunts + looking for attention.
Call me random internet user. To me the boo boys are our equivalent to the guys on Arsenal Fan TV.
Regular match goers spitting on everything ‘you’ll never walk alone’ stands for.
