My celebration was unnecessary, which is fair but what he said to me when he gave me the yellow card is not ok. In England nobody has to clarify these situations, it’s really tricky and hard to understand. “How he looks at me, I don’t understand it. “We have our history with Tierney, I really don’t know what he has against us, he has said there is no problems but that cannot be true,” said Klopp. Keith Hackett, former head of referees, wrote in his column for the Telegraph Sport that Klopp is a serial offender and should face action. The Lancashire referee was also in Klopp’s sights last season for failing to send off Harry Kane in a match where Andrew Robertson was dismissed. The FA could look at Klopp’s comments questioning what Tierney “has against us”. “Match officials in the Premier League are recorded in all games via a communications system and having fully reviewed the audio of referee Paul Tierney from today’s fixture, we can confirm he acted in a professional manner throughout including when issuing the caution to the Liverpool manager so, therefore, we strongly refute any suggestion that Tierney’s actions were improper.” Spurs manager Ryan Mason was also upset with the official for failing to send off Jota for a high boot on Oliver Skipp.Ī statement from the referees’ body, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, said: “PGMOL is aware of the comments made by Jürgen Klopp after his side’s fixture with Tottenham Hotspur. Klopp, who pulled a hamstring celebrating Diogo Jota’s last-gasp winner, risked Football Association action over accusing Tierney of having an agenda against Liverpool when he claimed the referee made an unacceptable comment while issuing a yellow card for celebrating in the face of the fourth official.
The Professional Game Match Officials Limited has hit back at Jürgen Klopp’s claims that referee Paul Tierney acted improperly during Liverpool’s 4-3 win against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
