Klopp handed two-match ban for referee comments

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been given a two-match touchline ban after media comments he made about referee Paul Tierney following his team's win over Tottenham last month.

One match of Klopp's two-game ban is suspended, the Football Association said, and an independent regulatory commission also fined him £75,000.

The German spoke about Tierney after the Reds' 4-3 victory at Anfield on 30 April, saying: "We have our history with Mr Tierney. I don't know what this man has with us."

Klopp admitted his comments constituted improper conduct as they implied bias, question the integrity of the referee, are personal, offensive, and bring the game into disrepute.
