FANS have turned Kevin Nolan’s “very humble” gesture towards Jurgen Klopp into yet another excuse to troll Newcastle assistant assistant Jason Tindall.
London Stadium manager Nolan jumped out of the way and pointed at David Moyes for Liverpool boss Klopp to shake the West Ham boss’s hand first after Saturday’s 2-2 draw.
In contrast, Tindall was labeled a “mad dog” and “attention seeker” and even had his Wikipedia page changed due to his habit of grabbing hands in front of Toon boss Eddie Howe.
Viewers hailed Hammers legend Nolan as a “real football man” who showed “humility” and “pure respect” for Moyes.
The former Newcastle and West Ham midfielder waited patiently for Moyes to shake Klopp’s hand and then hugged the German himself.
But many feel it revealed Tindall’s antics.
One stated: “Newcastle’s assistant would have become the main character
A second wrote: “NUFC assistant coach needs to learn!”
And a third joked: “Enough for Jason Tindall to toss and turn in his sun lounger.”
Many supporters feel that Nolan did everything he could to avoid shaking hands before Moyes was a perfect tribute to outgoing icon Klopp.

One said: “These are the hands of a legend. We will miss Jürgen Klopp.”
Another added: “Klopp is a class act, the end of an era for Liverpool. Nolan is also in good form, there is respect for everyone.”
But most comments simply praised Nolan – a hugely popular former midfielder at Bolton, Newcastle and West Ham.
One fan summed up the feeling of many: “This is called loyalty and KN has always behaved well on and off the field.”
Meanwhile, the eager Tindall even found his hand snubbed by the managers – who instead opted to shake Howe first.
And last summer, his Wikipedia entry was briefly edited to read: “Jason James Tindall (born 15 November 1977) is an English manager and former professional football player, who currently stars at Newcastle United. “
