It was out of emotion, anger, and that is never a good leader for the things you do. I was still angry, which led to the way I celebrated.”I was shouting ‘Without you, without you’, which didn’t really make much sense. Paul Tierney came over to me and I didn’t expect for a second a red card. He said, ‘For me, it’s a red card’. Red card for what? I tried to calm down, didn’t work out properly and then went into the interviews.”Maybe I should have said he told me it was a red card, and I didn’t think it was. The rest of the things I said about how I feel about Paul Tierney whistling his games, I’m sure he is not doing intentionally, but there is history. These things that happened in the past, in decisive games, happened. That’s a feeling, nothing else.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7226427####EDITORS_CHOICE##Klopp added: “I shouldn’t have said a couple of things, but lying was not involved.”We have our history with [Paul] Tierney.

It’s really tricky and hard to understand.”My celebration was unnecessary, which is fair, but what he said to me when he gave me the yellow card is not okay.”
