Referee suspended for rants about Jurgen Kloop

Coote responded: “Liverpool were s—.”

The referee is then asked about Klopp, to which he answered: “C—, absolute c—.”

He added: “Aside from having a right pop at me when I was reffed them against Burnley in lockdown, then he accused me of lying and then just had a right f—ing pop at me. And I’ve got no interest in speaking to somebody as f—ing arrogant. So I do my best not to speak to him. [James] Milner’s all right.”

Coote officiated Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at home to Burnley in July 2020, which suggests that the video was filmed during COVID lockdown.

“You can see me there with [a] mask on. COVID, gotta be done. Social distancing, right? We’re 10 metres apart.”

Coote doubled down on his : “But, oh my god. German c—. F— me.”

“Just to be clear, that f—ing last video can’t go anywhere, seriously.”

The other person then responds: “He’s a Premier League referee, let’s not f—ing ruin his career. Let’s face it, we’re good blokes but we can’t ruin a bloke’s career, we’re not that bad. Also he’s a f—ing legend. So let’s not ruin his career.”

The referees’ body, the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOL), officially suspended Coote.

“David Coote has been suspended with immediate effect pending a full investigation,” it said in a statement.

“PGMOL will be making no further comment until that process is complete.”
