I agree with Craig. Why even harass the 4th official? Aside from holding up signs and allowing subs on and off, he's responsible for nothing else that happens on the pitch or the decisions that are made by the ref and the linesmen. This isn't just Klopp, this is all managers.

The media, the crowd, the players on the pitch along with the managerial crew. if a referee has to defend themselves, the only thing they have going for them is the support of themselves and an intellectual application of rule of law. no one is protecting referees when 5 players approach them to confront them about a call.

[@robwor8320]

The history between Klopp and Tierney In 2020 Tierney reportedly told Klopp to "get over it" after the referee admitted he had missed a foul on Georginio Wijnaldum in a game against Aston Villa. Tierney was also in charge of a Liverpool game at Tottenham in December 2021 when Spurs striker Harry Kane escaped a red card before Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson was dismissed. The match ended in a 2-2 draw which resulted in the Reds losing ground to Manchester City in their Premier League title fight. Tierney was also the referee when Everton were denied a late penalty in a 1-0 defeat by Manchester City in February 2022. City midfielder Rodri appeared to control the ball with his arm and, while Tierney and video assistant referee Chris Kavanagh did not deem it worthy of a spot-kick, former PGMOL head Mike Riley later apologised to the Toffees for the decision. Liverpool went on to miss out on the Premier League title by one point to City that season. In January this year after a loss to Brentford, Klopp said he had approached the officials - including Tierney - to discuss decisions made during the game. "That's exactly the same as I would talk to my microwave, you get no response, really, it's always the same," he told beIN Sports. Earlier this month, Tierney booked Liverpool's Robertson after an incident involving assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis.

[@citythink]

Klopp admitted it was inappropriate.

[@ElainaMaruyama]

And Tierney admitted the fourth official was out of line by saying he gave him a yellow instead of a red because of the fourth officials actions so why aren't we talking about he he did?
