Kimbo Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 9 minutes ago, SteV said: It’s not about whether he holds negative opinions, it’s about the fact that he’s voiced them publicly (unwittingly or otherwise). He’s placed himself in an untenable position in terms of refereeing their games, or any game that impacts them, and as a result he’ll have to get booted. I’ll accept that if we get much much harsher punishments for abusing officials than we have right now to go with it. Accepting the likes of Klopp abusing refs is what has created this situation.

Accepting the likes of Klopp abusing refs is what has created this situation. Perhaps, yes, but that’s a different discussion. If you’re a PL referee, you have to accept that you’re held to certain (very high) standard of behaviour, relating to directly to football matters anyway, almost regardless of how poorly a manager, player or whoever has behaved. Not really very fair, but that’s just the way it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe1984 Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 4 hours ago, Kimbo said: He should get a slap on the wrist, but that’s all. Anyone that thinks referees shouldn’t hold negative opinions about people like Klopp that get off on yelling abuse in their face are idiots. Is everyone just overlooking the fact he was high on coke then? I know loads use it but is a class A illegal substance... Then again you can't legally prove it by looking at a video, no matter how obvious it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 His best bet here is to own up to it and put it down to a mental health crisis caused by the way players and managers are allowed to shout at and abuse officials. The FA/PL have done very little to control that over the years so it would potentially be very bad optics for them to then fire him, particularly if other refs backed him up. The way Klopp was allowed to behave was ridiculous, everyone has known it for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard him reference “during Covid” so I thought he was talking about the distant past, although not sure he actually really knew exactly what he was talking about tbf.

Nah they were referencing social distancing. Very much looked like it had been filmed during Covid to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Cardigan Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 9 hours ago, Andy said: Didn't he just fail to give two stonewall penalties against Liverpool a few days ago? I think it's more that he's just a shite ref than he has a bias towards one club or another. He consistently makes bad decisions, just as he did when making this video. Yeah I’m not saying he’s actually biased, I’m sure he just doesn't like Klopp, but because of what he’s said and his past non decisions for them his impartiality will be called into question every time and they can’t have that so he has to go I guess.

Admittedly I'm not sure what consequences this got, but I don't think Klopp got sent off many times at all. Edited November 12 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
