« Liverpool are shit, Jürgen Klopp is an asshole German and pretentious. So every match, I try to talk to him as little as possible. »
This is the kind of thing Premier League referee David Coote says in a video that leaked on social media in recent hours. The sequence, filmed casually in a living room, dates back several years and has not gone unnoticed, since the PGMOL (“Professional game match officials limited”, the organization which manages professional arbitration across the Channel) is seized of the matter: “David Coote has been suspended with immediate effect pending a full investigationshe communicated to Reuters. PGMOL will not make any further comment until this process is complete. »
“Just to be clear: this fucking video shouldn’t go anywhere”Coote said in the extract. These insults seem to follow a meeting between Liverpool and Burnley, in July 2020: after the draw (1-1), Klopp and his players had widely railed against the refereeing of the man in black. Made aware of the existence of this video, the LFC did not comment.
And yet on Saturday, Liverpool won at Anfield against Aston Villa (2-0) in a match refereed by… David Coote.
Liverpool get the job done against Aston Villa
