You can’t fix stupid

You don’t. You cannot. But when your job requires absolutely unbiased adjudication over people it is absolutely mission critical that you not caught saying you hate them and explaining how your dislike of then impacts how you deal with them.

Especially when it should be “stupidity”.

Is there any indication when that video was made? I’m guessing that it isn’t new as Klopp has since left.

I’d be curious as to how it has found it’s way out now. It looks like Kompromat. I wonder what he has or hasn’t done for it to emerge now?

Looking at the video, he is clearly on the Powder. Probably why he felt confident and emboldened to air his view in such a forthright fashion.

Don’t worry: I’m sure some cunt will be along soon to retroactively justify all of his decisions.

Because the league isn’t fixed.

Not surprising to see, it’s been clear for ages he’s not been impartial when involved in our games.

You just can’t accuse someone of being arrogant when you have that accent.

I think you can’t accuse someone of arrogance when you’re think you’re OK being filmed saying you hate Liverpool and think Klopp is a cunt.

I think he is totally fucked because the incentive is now considerable for the PGMOL to present Coote as an outlier whose personal bias and pettiness is an aberration and not some theme among the sort of people who self-select to be refs

He mentioned Burnley as the game that justified his opinion of Klopp. There is a game at the end of the 19-20 season, after we’d already locked up the title, where he reffed us against them in a 1-1 draw. The Van Dijk Everton game where he was on VAR was just 3 months after that game

EDIT: Almost certain the clip above of Robbo gong after him is from that Burnley game as that was the only one Coote reffed us in during the Covid stadium closures
