Paul Tierney gave Jürgen Klopp a yellow card for his behavior on the touchline. Limited reacted to Jurgen Klopp's claims that referee Paul Tierney acted inappropriately during Liverpool's 4-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Klopp, who pulled a hamstring while celebrating Diogo Jota's win with his last breath, risked the Football Association action on Tierney's accusation of having an agenda against Liverpool when he claimed the referee made an inappropriate comment by issuing a yellow card for celebration in front of the fourth judge. Spurs manager Ryan Mason was also upset that an official did not send Jota off due to Oliver Skipp's high workload.
Professional Game Match Officials Limited's panel of judges said in a statement: «PGMOL is aware of the comments taken by Jürgen Klopp after his team's match against Tottenham Hotspur.
«Premier League match officials are recorded in all games via the communications system and by reviewing the full audio recording of referee Paul Tierney during today's match, we can confirm that he acted professionally throughout the match, including when issuing a warning to the manager.» Liverpool». , therefore, we strongly reject any suggestion that Tierney's actions were wrongful.»
The FA may look at Klopp's comments, wondering what Tierney «has against us». The Lancashire umpire was also on Klopp's radar last season after failing to send off Harry Kane in a match in which Andrew Robertson was sacked.
Keith Hackett, former head of the judging panel, wrote in his Telegraph Sport column that Klopp is a serial offender and should be held accountable.
“Tierney and I have our own history, I really don’t know what he has against us, he said there are no problems, but this cannot be true,” Klopp said. “The way he looks at me, I don’t understand. In England, no one is obliged to explain these situations, it is really complicated and difficult to understand. My triumph was redundant, and rightly so, but what he said to me when he gave me a yellow card is not normal.
“The problem is that I have to mention that Paul Tierney in an important season did not give Harry Kane got a red card — and I love Harry Kane — and gave Robbo a red card. This is not the first time, so many things.
“We are role models, but first of all people. I didn't say anything to the fourth referee but turned to him to celebrate, I got a yellow card, I think he thought I should have received a different punishment.»
Klopp was outraged that Mohamed Salah no foul was called moments before the Spurs were entitled to a free kick for Richarlison's equalizer. Jota scored 99 seconds later, but Mason insisted he should not have taken the field as his challenge to Skipp guaranteed a red card.
«I'd like an explanation and a reason why it didn't happen,» Mason said. “I can understand that the referees and officials on the field missed this, although I immediately felt a red card, because when your foot shows spikes and you are five and a half feet from the ground and touch the player’s head and take blood, and there is a wound, I think it fits the bill.
“Perhaps, especially with an experienced referee in the Var room, you want him to help the referee on the field at this point. Look, it decided the game because the player on the field who shouldn't have been there at the end decided the game. I'm pretty sure most football people will feel the same way.»

Klopp responded to Mason: «I do think Ryan has other things to worry about.» The interim manager of the Spurs will have to understand why his team again conceded the first goals when three goals were scored in a quarter of an hour.
Kane led the fight with a goal and looked devastated by the loss, saying he would be loyal to «every place I go» when asked if he was looking to return » Spurs» to places in the Champions League. “I live in the present and give 110 percent every day and every place I go,” he said.
“We conceded practically in the first minute of the last three matches. We have to go out and in those moments you can't do what we did at the end. Point, you carry it through the last four games, but the feeling that everything will end in defeat is painful and hard to accept.
“The table does not lie where we are, not lies. We have fantastic players and fantastic moments, but in general, as a team, we do not play well collectively. We need to find a way to start games where we're not undercover right away. We deserve what we have, we have four games and it will be hard to get through, but we have to look back.”
Klopp says a hamstring injury will take several days to celebrate, to recover. “Such a fair punishment for inappropriate behavior right away,” he said. «That's it. I'll be in pain for a few days, but Mr. Tierney won't. I'll be ready to do what I always do, and the celebration, if we have something to celebrate, will be much calmer.»
