Klopp- Another bad loser

[Supersub6]

That was truly laughable Outwood he should have been booked for it.

I’m really dissapointed about the fact he can’t wear a pair of shorts that fit him , and crucially he’s allowed to play with his socks rolled down, ref should tell him before he blows whistle pull them up and tape them like everyone else’s or go off.
How can it be a rule for him and a different one for everyone else.

Totally agree about the belly flop ---he should have been booked.
Nothing in the Laws to say that he must wear shorts that fit him or that he can't have his socks how he wants. The only specification is that he wears shin pads and he wears the smallest pair that I have ever seen, therefore, the referee would be victimising the player if he tried to insist on what you are suggesting. The rule isn't different for him, he just utilises a different interpretation.

Clearly JBG got the ball, and Roberson clattered into him from behind with what could be considered a late tackle. While the referee considered this not to be either a penalty nor a yellow card for Robertson’s late tackle should have been the end of it.
The attitude of Robertson after the final whistle was deplorable and the referee should have produced a Red card for the use of foul & abusive language.
As Klopp was standing within earshot of the Robertson’s outburst he should have intervened and told his player to show some respect but he chose no to do so. As such the FA should now intervene and fine both the player for his outburst and the club for failing to control their player.

I think Benteke was sent off after the final whistle in the Villa v Palace game for kicking out at an opponent rather than using foul and abusive language. I am not defending what Robertson said to the referee (which was picked up on microphone) but it sounded more like sour grapes at not getting that 18th home win on the spin. Referees have sent players off for foul and abusive language after the whistle but maybe in this case the ref decided it did not merit a red card. What appears in his match report and whether there is any action taken remains to be seen.

Returning to the subject of MOTD on Saturday it was a correct call to begin the programme with the tribute to Jack Charlton but it meant that by putting Liverpool v Burnley last on the running order the coverage and analysis of this match was curtailed and crucially the programme omitted any discussion about the JBG/Robertson incident. I was furious that this game was deemed the least significant or meritorious of the day’s fixtures. It quite simply imho was not.

If they cut out the tedious shots of players on their knees as a prelude to every game, they would have more time left to analyse the games, match analysis is supposed to be what the programme's about isn't it, not political virtue-signalling.

Exactly.

Unless we had pulled off a totally unexpected win our game was always destined to be the last one shown because there was nothing riding on it.
All the other games had clubs fighting against relegation, including Brighton, who are just on the fringes or two clubs trying hard for the Champions League places with the Blades and Chelsea. We were playing the Champions and, outside of the fans from both clubs, there was very little interest ---unless we had pulled off the win!
