BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks has bizarrely accused Andrew Robertson of "bullying" linesman Constantine Hatzidakis during last weekend's 2-2 draw with Arsenal - insisting if he tried such a stunt in his native Scotland he would get "levelled".
The Reds left-back was involved in a coming together with Hatzidakis on the stroke of half-time, in which the official appeared to elbow Robertson in the throat. The incident between the pair occurred after the Scotland captain had approached Hatzidakis to discuss the officiating of the first half.
Despite the incident being captured by broadcasters at Anfield, Hatzidakis escaped any punishment after a "thorough" review of all of the evidence by the Football Association. The ECHO understands Robertson and Hatzidakis spoke on Zoom on Thursday afternoon, with the linesman later labelling the clear-the-air talks with the 29-year-old as "open & positive".
