Premier League ref David Coote suspended over Jürgen Klopp outburst

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

Asked why he has this opinion, Coote adds: “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 alright.”

Coote officiated a 1-1 draw for Liverpool at home to Burnley in July 2020

What suggests the video was filmed during lockdown is that Coote then shows a picture of him in a mask on the touchline at a Liverpool game, and says: “You can see me there with [a] mask on. COVID, gotta be done. Social distancing, right? We’re 10 metres apart.”

Coote then adds in another apparent reference to Klopp: “But, oh my God. German c—. F— me.”

The individual sat alongside Coote then said: “Long story short, Jürgen Klopp’s a c—, Liverpool are all f—ing bellends. and we hate Scousers.”

The second, shorter video sees Coote say: “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.”
