Making Plans 940 Posted December 3, 2018 You couldn't make it up. Surely Managers are allowed to show a bit of excitement & passion. The FA need to get a life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,823 Posted December 3, 2018 Sorry I disagree, I thought it was completely over the top and he deserves a bit of a rollicking. Quite inciteful and if I was an Everton fan I woud have wanted to lynch him for that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,791 Posted December 3, 2018 Quite agree with the charge, if it had been The Special One ( although he ain't so Special anymore ) people would have been screaming for him to have been charged yet somehow the jolly, jovial German scouse seems to have a licence to say and do whatever he wants. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,183 Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Have to agree with Herman and Nutty on this. Liverpool were at home and so I would imagine the Everton fans were less than happy about it to put it mildly. However, what happens when the away manager does that. Think Paul Lambert sprinting on to the pitch at Carrow Road to congratulate Luke Chambers after Ipswich have grabbed a 96th minute winner against us. (Obviously I hope I'm wrong etc. etc......) t Edited December 3, 2018 by Thirsty Lizard correcting mistake 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted December 3, 2018 Can't see the problem The FA will cover themselves by stating they have taken action. The usual suspects will have their day whining about 'political correctness gone mad' and it will all blow over as quickly as it happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,791 Posted December 3, 2018 Yellow card for a player who celebrates after scoring a goal and takes his shirt off so club staff encroaching onto the field of play deserves action by the authorities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,823 Posted December 3, 2018 **** Emery at Arsenal showed how it was possible to celebrate a big derby win, to show how overjoyed he was and still stay classy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And as above could you imagine the problems dealing with over excited binners were Farke to have ran onto the pitchafter Klose's late goal ? Maybe question the sanction if any is given but questioning the FA's response of a charge is not appreciating the wider implications of Klopp's action Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,360 Posted December 3, 2018 I think running on the pitch when the game's still in progress is wrong. This was a high octance derby to be fairwith a last second winner but when Lallana nicked that 5-4 Liverpool win at Carrow Rd Klopp kept off the pitch even if his celebrations did upset the Norwich bench. Contrast that with Paul Warne who didn't visibly celebrate Rotherham's goal on Saturday although if the shot that hit Krul's post and ran along the goal line had gone in for 2-0 I suspect a discreet little fist pump would have been in order....

Drazen Muzinic 1,450 Posted December 3, 2018 Klopp is Mr Cuddly when things are going his way and a sore loser when they aren't with a lack of humility and grace. For some reason, the media love his wacky antics, I've hated him since that 5-4 victory at the Carra. Quite rightly he's got his card marked this time.

Capt. Pants 4,276 Posted December 3, 2018 If it was Farke after we had just scored a last ditch winner against Ipswich we would have just called it passion. And we would have loved him for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chelm Canary 404 Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) His behaviour when Liverpool beat us 5-4 was questionable. It's certainly inciting, but I don't believe it's malicious. I have nothing against a manager showing passion. Edited December 3, 2018 by Chelm Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted December 3, 2018 If a player or substitute had done that, they’d have the book thrown at them. He was infringing the field of play and was totally disrespectful of Everton. He shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it because he’s a “fun” and “entertaining” character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,669 Posted December 4, 2018 By the letter of the law he should be charged. I do think it is a bit of a shame though- it is a huge moment and it wasn't like he was getting in the face of the Everton fans or players, just celebrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think it is a shame to charge him, rules are rules and there is a good reason why technical areas were introduced for coaches and managers in the first place. He is not a player and it is not allowed that he go on the pitch under any circumstances during a match. Should be charged and imo banned from the touchline for a few games. You cannot let him get away with it or it will start to happen more in matches. A manager's place is on the touchline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,742 Posted December 4, 2018 Klopp is a bit of a **** if you ask me. I know the media love him and he laughs a lot so he must be good but lets see how his behaviour turns moreso after yet again winning nothing this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woodman 92 Posted December 4, 2018 Didn't Farke celebrate on the pitch when we got the winner against Millwall? Not as madly as Klopp admittedly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 4, 2018 Remember Fergie and Kidd when Manure beat Wednesday during next goal the winner stoppage time the year we were seriously after the title? Don't know whether they were charged or not. I am not sure about Klopp. He is amusing because he seems eccentrically English at times. On the other hand, managers and players want rules for this and that i.e. VAR but are happy to break existing ones. The FA do embarrass themselves at times and this one might end up the same way as I would imagine the pundits etc will defend Klopp on this one. But if a supporter did it, they would be clamouring for protection. And if someone gets banned for throwing a banana skin on the pitch, however out of order it was, there was no invasion of the pitch. I would imagine a spell in the stands beckons for Herr Klopp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
