Klopp accused of 'inciting pile-ons'
Former Premier League referee has accused the likes of Klopp and Mikel Arteta of 'inciting pile-ons' towards referees with their comments about officiating.
In a column for the Times in the wake of a brutal attack on Turkish referee Halil Umut Meler, Walton wrote: "This country is having a reckoning with the abuse of officials and maybe this can be a jumping off point to make meaningful change.
"First things first, the FA, the SFA, UEFA, every governing body needs to come out immediately and condemn these actions. Then, maybe the likes of Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta will think twice next time they rush to harangue an official or question his impartiality after the game and incite pile-ons."
