Liverpool's Klopp hit with FA over inappropriate behaviour 

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been charged with improper conduct by the English Football Association for his inappropriate behaviour comments about referee Paul Tierney following Sunday's thrilling 4-3 victory over Tottenham on Sunday. After the game, Klopp accused Tierney of having something "against" Liverpool but the referee's body PGMOL reviewed the audio of Tierney and said he acted in a professional manner throughout. "It is alleged that the manager's comments regarding the match official during post-match media interviews constitutes improper conduct in that they imply bias, and/or question the integrity of the referee, and/or are personal/offensive, and/or bring the game into disrepute," the FA said in a statement Tuesday. Klopp said after the match he was angered by remarks the referee made to him on the touchline, describing them as "not OK." In a news conference Tuesday ahead of his side's Premier League clash with Fulham, Klopp disclosed what Tierney said: "I couldn't get close to the fourth official, I felt my muscle [after pulling a hamstring]. That's it. Then Paul Tierney came over to me, I didn't expect a red. I expected yellow. He said to me: 'For me it's red, but because [you taunted the fourth official], it's yellow.' I said, 'Red card for what?' "I went in, tried to calm down and couldn't when I spoke to [the] press. Then I said that what he said was 'not OK.' I thought it wasn't OK because it wasn't a red but I opened the box with that. I should've just said he said it was a red card. Rest was how I felt at that moment." Klopp said: “First, there was a situation in which Mohamed Salah was obstructed. A free kick helped Tottenham score the equalizer 3-3 before Liverpool scored the winning goal. Klopp said: "It's actually a moment when you should be happy because you scored a goal, but unfortunately I was still a little angry... This led me to celebrate massively." Despite this, the Liverpool coach insisted that he was not satisfied with the referee, Paul Tierney, who managed the match. "I know he's not doing it on purpose, but we have a history with him, and I can't deny that," he said. "I heard I have to lie and things like that. I did a lot that day, but I didn't lie."
