Sarcastically applauding match officials is cheap, disrespectful and frankly pathetically puerile. I had thought better of Klopp ( if indeed he was applauding sarcastically which it certainly looked as if he was ) although I have never quite been as taken-in as some by the 'goody two-shoes' demeanour which he portrays. I hope on reflection he repents of his action. A disagreement expressed forthrightly is often far better than sarcastic applause in my book.
I could list a handful of other notable incidents where Klopp should have been punished but wasn’t, considering some other PL managers were then punished for similar but less offences.
The big one being when he ran on the pitch after Origi’s late goal against Everton.
Seems to be double standards for him!
