I give it an hour before they're demanding the last three league titles are stripped from Man City and awarded to them (even though they didn't finish second on all three occasions).

Sorry but didn't Coote do Liverpool a favour on Saturday by not giving a foul against Salah? This was discussed on today's Ref Watch and in fact they all got lucky that Nunes scored.

Refs are human. They dislike things and probably hate some players/managers who give them tonnes of grief every game. However, with the scrutiny they are under it comes with the territory and saying what you think on camera isn't very bright is it?

Funny how they're digging out all the decisions Coote has been involved in that went against Liverpool.
Bet none of them have studied the match reports to find all the moments when his involvement went in their favour.
This is all ridiculous anyway (notwithstanding the stupidity of somebody allowing themselves to be filmed in that position): every single referee out there will have opinions on clubs and managers. They'll all chat away, guaranteed, at their ref seminars: which coach is a moaner, which one is a snide, which players dive a lot. Coote is entitled to an opinion like anybody else and if his perception was that Klopp was arrogant, I have no issue with that whatesoever. He probably thinks Pep is a whiney bastard too, and Jason Tindall is an attention seeking pain in the arse, just like we all do. His only mistake appears to have been verbalising that in front of an untested audience.

I've reffed and my son is now a ref. There are some right dick heads out there in football. Sadly many in youth football. The bunch of amateurs and Dorking fc videos don't help

I think the point about that incident from what I have read is that he didn't play an advantage he actually indicated no foul.

There is a great podcast out there with former ref Kevin Lynch. Here he is admitting to not giving fouls against Ian Wright because he was being awkward to referee. Obviously the difference is he's long retired now, but you can guarantee every referee has turned a blind eye to something or given something they shouldn't have done because a player has been a bit of a dick at some point.

You've (nearly) always been fair and reasonable in mho (with exceptions lol)
I'm not convinced if it is, he's wrong
I fail to be outraged by a man who is abused by managers every week calling them ****s

There were already some linking Liverpool title failures on the Twitter thread.
Those shouting 'Corruption!' seem to be overlooking Coote' s reason for giving that view of Klopp. 'He called me a liar.' doesn't seem to be the complaint of a corrupt official. It's perfectly possible to dislike someone and yet to maintain neutrality. Ask any school teacher.

The way the video is filmed is like a cross between when those ‘peado hunters’ track down one of their targets and a tragic ‘afters’ party with 4 pissed-up blokes, a crate of beers and a few bags of cocaine.
Very odd.

Seriously though , the issue here isn't what he thinks, it's that he has said it out loud. Knows he shouldn't and could have been open to bribery etc.
There is also the issue of when this was filmed and why it's out now.
It's right to be investigated
