November 12th 2024.
After the 2020 Premier League game, there was quite a commotion on the field. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and defender Andy Robertson were seen confronting referee David Coote. It was quite a heated exchange, and it has recently resurfaced after Coote's suspension.
The video clip that has been circulating on social media shows Coote making derogatory comments about both Klopp and Robertson. In the footage, he can be heard calling Liverpool "s**t" and referring to Klopp as a "German c**t". He also criticized Klopp's behavior during the match between Liverpool and Burnley in 2020, stating that the manager was "f****g arrogant".
Coote further revealed that Klopp had confronted him during the match and accused him of lying. He also mentioned that he had no desire to speak to someone who behaved in such a manner. As a result, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) suspended Coote and launched an investigation. Coote has since admitted that the video, although a few years old, is indeed genuine.
During the game between Liverpool and Burnley, both Robertson and Klopp were furious with Coote's decisions. They strongly believed that Liverpool should have been awarded a penalty in the first half. The intense exchange between Robertson and Coote was even captured by BT Sport's pitchside cameras. As the players were leaving the field, Robertson can be seen giving Coote, along with his assistants Marc Perry and Nicholas Hopton, an earful.
Robertson, visibly angry, can be heard saying, "How is that not a penalty on me? What's the point of having you? Wait until you see it. Wait until you go in and see that and you'll go, 'How the f**k is that not a penalty?'" Klopp also joined in, expressing his frustration with Coote's decisions. Robertson continued, "You didn't see f*****g anything. You didn't see anything the whole game apart from f*****g booking him in the last minute. What's the point of having yous in the middle? What's the point of having you? Eh? F**k me, honestly."
It's no wonder that Coote's actions caused such an uproar on the field that day. And even though he went on to referee Liverpool's 2-0 win against Aston Villa on Saturday, the incident between him, Klopp, and Robertson will not be soon forgotten.
