Jurgen Klopp offers to replay Nottingham game following victory gifted by referee error

Jurgen Klopp has once again shown his emotional intelligence, his empathy, and his ability to look beyond bias to see the game through colourblind eyes — all traits which have made the German a favourite among supporters of other Premier League teams — when he generously offered Nottingham Forest a replay of yesterday’s Premier League match.

Liverpool won the match in the 99th minute, well after the indicated added minutes had lapsed, and inexplicably as a direct result of a poor refereeing decision, the visitors being given an uncontested drop-ball a minute earlier which should in fact have gone to Nottingham.

Luckily for Forest fans — nervously watching their team deep in a relegation battle, with a potential points penalty hanging over them for profit and sustainability infractions — Jurgen is not just a football manager, he is also a human.

Speaking to our reporter earlier today Klopp preached “I’m never one to go overboard, and when I see something which is not right I make it my mission to correct that. I advocated for a replayed game against Tottenham earlier in the season, and I’m offering one now. It’s not the results which drive me as a person, it’s the fairness of it all — I wouldn’t want to lose like that, so I have no choice but to refuse to win like that”.

More to come.
