Fans have joked that Newcastle assistant Jason Tindall could take a leaf out of Kevin Nolan's book with his touchline courtesy. 

Nolan gestured for Jurgen Klopp to shake Moyes' hand first after Liverpool's 2-2 draw with West Ham on Saturday in a show of deference. 

It is typical for managers to shake each other's hands first following a match - but Tindall, Eddie Howe's assistant at Newcastle, often doesn't get the memo.

He went viral last season for a compilation of him breaking tradition and jumping in to shake hands before Howe could. 

On one occasion Wolves boss Gary O'Neil even snubbed him in order to follow the usual procedure.

Kevin Nolan has been praised for asking Jurgen Klopp to shake David Moyes' hand first 

Jason Tindall, Newcastle's assistant, often goes to shake hands before Eddie Howe can 

Fans have joked that Tindall should learn some touchline tradition and courtesy from Nolan

After Nolan showed Klopp in Moyes' direction, fans have claimed that Tindall would do well to take notes.

'Newcastle assistant would be like no way Howe shaking hands before me,' one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 

'NUFC assistant coach needs to learn!' another said. 

'That Tindall would have been straight over for a selfie with his autograph book out,' one commented. 

Another gave Tindall a new name, writing: 'Jason Tiddle would have been straight on it.'

'Enough to have Jason Tindall turning in his sun bed,' one joked. 

Nolan was praised for his gentlemanly conduct: 'Well played Kev. Traditional for managers to shake hands first.' 

In fairness to Tindall, his status as Newcastle's assistant is seemingly more elevated than the status other managerial sidekicks enjoy.

Howe has encourged Tindall to have a strong touchline presence and that would explain his behaviour 

Howe has revealed that this is something he wants: 'We're both very active on the sidelines and I've encouraged Jason to be that way.

'We were very much a partnership when we started in management – we try to do everything that we can to help the players.'

He will often be stood by Howe's side in the technical area, forming an inseparable double act. 

In March, he appeared on Sky Sports' Guess the Footballer show alongside Howe. Klopp has also taken part inthe game but did so alone. 

Klopp enjoyed a final hug with Moyes at the London Stadium following a 2-2 draw 

Last season, Howe even quipped that Tindall quite enjoys the limelight. 

He admitted that Tindall does have 'an eye for the camera' after a viral X account said he is 'desperate to be the centre of attention'.
