ROBBO DODGES SWEARING RAP

- LOSING HIS COOL BY DAVID MADDOCK

ANDY ROBERTSON has escaped an FA charge after his emotional outburst at referee David Coote.

The Liverpool defender lost his cool at the end of Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Burnley at Anfield – and issued a foul-mouthed tirade at the official.

TV cameras caught Robertson delivering a string of expletives as he told Coote: “You didn’t see anything the whole game…what’s the point of having you in the middle?”

If the swearing was included in Coote’s report, that would have automatica­lly triggered a referral to the disciplina­ry process, and a potential ban or fine.

But the FA confirmed last night they had received Coote’s report and the fourth official’s – and neither mentioned Robertson’s outburst.
