The booing of Owen

[Guest]

Booing is part of the sport. It's not as if we wish him to die.

He deserved it for his comments last week if nothing else.

The "Judas" chants were pretty fair I thought.

Was it right? After all he did for us over the years, winning the FA Cup singlehandedly etc shouldn't we be bigger than that? Or does he deserve everything he gets for signing for the scum?

Listen to this podcast, they properly disagree about it. What do you think?

tink henchoz so more to do with winning the fa cup seeing he cleared half a million shots off the line that day

He crossed an unspeakable line, only cares about himself. The welsh midget can go **** himself.

Not always with his feet or head! How the hell we got away with that is beyond me

Unlike you not to go for the most diplomatic line mate.

Agree with you entirely though.

The minute he signed his name on that dotted line for Man United he lost any entitlement to a fair reception at Anfield. It's just the way it is and I'm sure he would have expected no different.

I completely agree with this. There are some things that Liverpool supporters shouldn't have to put up with and this is one of them. While I disagree with players returning and getting booed for Owen I'll make an exception because he plays for THEM!! With his return with Newcastle, it was different, but there is animosity between the two sets of fans and it is bitter.

Having said that with Owen it's been a bit of ongoing disrespect to the club and fans. Firstly in 2004 he said that he kept promising he was going to re-sign with the club and 48 hours later he was off to Spain.

He also said that he only wanted to sign for Liverpool on his return. Well we did bid for him but he went to the highest bidder. If he did want to return he could have sat it out and RM but he didn't.

Personally I'm glad that we didn't get him over Newcastle as I am not sure if we would have had Torres with Owen back in the team and Owen is/was/will/ never come close to Torres!!

Exactly. Nando said the other week he'd never play for the Scum out of respect for Liverpool. As we sang on Sunday 'Once a Manc, Never a red'.

I like the man, who is always in the papers for the right reasons, loved the player for what he has done for Liverpool and England, and can see why he joinded Man Utd.

But of course he deserved to be booed!

It may have been the best career decision for him, but he crossed the line joining our biggest rivals.

Ever heard of Michael Flynn?

He is a total Judas.

The guy never felt anything for Liverpool and for everything we gave him our club was just a platform for England and a move abroad. His career has punished him more than our chants will hurt him and I appreciate his goals but I will never remember him and he is dead to me. I hope Neville becomes his best friend.

Is that the guys name, i commented about the MO 'rubbing his hands' celebration in a thread, maybe this one, that was so famous at the time, and that the story was that he was mimmicking his dealer friend, this being a thing his 'friend' did when thinking about all the cash he was making from selling er...'substances'.

Seem to remember a bit of a furore at the time about this guy and his mates having access to certain areas of Anfield thanks to his friendship with MO.

Could be wrong of course, but seems to ring a bell.

owen is a knob. plain and simple. the celebration he done years ago against newcastle (?) where he rubbed his hands together like a money obsessed cunt shortly after holding our club to ransom over an exceptionally high wage killed any feeling i had towards him. when he left i was happy. i say continue to boo him. he went to madrid for a big pay day......decided to go to newcastle over us for a bigger pay day.......and now to play for our arch rivals for a similar payday.......O.W.E.N = C.U.N.T!!!

Yep, Graham Johnson writes about in his book. Football and Gangsters.
