Kop outs - Latest News Update, Information, Photos & Videos on Kop outs at Lokmat Times

Liverpool FC head coach Jurgen Klopp on Friday explained the importance of his meeting with the founder of Kop Outs earlier this week.Klopp welcomed Paul Amann, founder of the 'Kop Outs' group established in 2016 in support of Liverpool's LGBT+ fans, to the AXA Training Centre in the aftermath of the incident of homophobic chanting at Carrow Road last Saturday.When asked about the meeting during his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, Klopp, as per liverpoolfc.com replied: "I have no idea about the response. I don't feel pride at all about it, I think it was just necessary to do, just important to talk about.""I don't obviously know all of our supporters but I know the vibe or the spirit, I know the passion, I know a lot of things about our supporters and how I understood it, when something happens and you can help clarifying it then it's our duty to do that and that's what we did.""If the response was good on that, great, job done, and now we can carry on because it's obviously an important thing to talk about, no doubt about that. But not all the time because something happened, Paul came over and we could speak about it. I learned a lot and hopefully some fans as well and that's it."Klopp, in conversation with Paul Amann, had said that any supporters who sing the song in earnest are "idiots", while those who participate without knowing the background should find another way of supporting the Reds.Notably, Liverpool FC have already denounced the chants from their supporters that were aimed at the Scotland international midfielder, Billy Gilmour during their 3-0 win over Norwich City on Saturday as "offensive and inappropriate." Gilmour who is on loan from Chelsea to Norwich City was subjected to homophobic chants by the travelling Liverpool supporters at Carrow Road.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
