Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool manager fined 45,000 by Football Association for comments about referee Kevin Friend after draw at West Ham
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been fined 45,000 by the Football Association for comments made about referee Kevin Friend after his side’s draw at West Ham earlier this month.The German had accepted the charge after saying Friend was influenced by allowing Sadio Mane’s goal to stand even though it was offside.1

Klopp remonstrates with the officials at the conclusion of the game

Klopp suggested Friend realised the mistake and tried to make up for it over the remainder of the game.Speaking to Sky Sports immediately after the match, Klopp said: “We had good moments, scored a goal that was offside but I think the ref knew at half-time and you saw there were a lot of strange situations – not decisive, just rhythm-breakers…50-50s, 60-40s, free-kick for the other team. “If I make a big mistake in the first half, as a human being I don’t want to open the gap more.”That brought an FA charge for making comments which questioned the integrity of the referee or implied bias.An FA statement on Thursday said: “Jurgen Klopp has been fined 45,000 after accepting an FA charge for comments made following Liverpool’s league game against West Ham United on 4 February 2019.“His comments made during a post-match interview breached FA Rule E3(1), as they questioned the integrity of the match referee and/or implied bias.”
