Rules Referees & Impartiality: Can this be delivered on a consistent basis?

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The bloke hasn't said much really. He described their performance is shit and said Klopp was a cunt for the way he spoke to him. Big fucking deal. They must say stuff like this every week about most teams/managers.

The way they are spoken to by players and managers is fucking disgraceful and football should have got to grips with this years ago - other sports wouldn't tolerate what football refs have to publicly tolerate, and it's worse at lower levels.

Got no problem at all with what he said.

He wasn’t wrong lol
 
It just had to be the fucking dippers didn't it? The fucking victims are rubbing their hands with glee now.

Fucks sakes.
I can hear it all now:

“It’s a conspiracy…”

“They’re all against us!”

We hate the national anthem…

“We’re naturally the funniest people, like”…

You would imagine so. Why the fuck would you stone cold sober film that? What a prize dickhead.

Also, what does it do for PGMOL and the general narrative of bias from refs?
Didn't look sober. Heck, he looked like he was on the ol crack pipe and fentanyl with his little friends.

Liverpool will bloody love this. Cunts already feeling like the world's against them...when they - like Utd, Woolwich & co - get decision after decision, putting big points on the board each & every season.

Shouldn't be punished for speaking the truth...Klopp is an arrogant cunt and that side is full of bellends.
 
I don’t see the problem with what he said. Klopp is a cunt
Exactly. He should be knighted, not punished.

Big clubs - and I include us - can keep their friggin mouths shut. For decades they've had the decisions, and VAR hasn't changed anything, it was just the PL's way of faking to understand lesser teams & their fans.

Not a conspiracy to imagine that the PL wants to safeguard its crazy revenue, and for that you need your big clubs at the top, so you find a subtle way to make your refs understand and apply. Heck, if the PL revenue goes to shit, what are refs gonna do...what's good for the big teams is good for them. Clubs too will always find discreet & indirect ways to keep a ref sweet.
 
Poor judgment - no doubt related to whatever he's taken at time of that video. He's obviously wasted.

But ultimately there isn't a lot here. He's not admitting to match fixing or anything.

He calls Klopp "arrogant" with good personal reason. It is also the opinion of millions of people, essentially fact; yet the reaction of his 'mate' is that he's just heard gag of the century.

The Milner thing is weird. But that's obviously a planned part of the film. Here is a getty image I have ready on my phone just to prove how James Milner is alright though. 😭

The trouble you have is

1 - the "German cunt" and "hate all scousers" comments.
2 - There was already conspiracy theories abounding (mainly from Liverpool fans) that he was biased gainst them.

I fail to understand how anyone can watch the glee with which he denegrates the team, manager and city without thinking that there's a possibly that those situations are affected by these biases.

1- yep, that's not good agreed. On the subtitles it said 'Jurgen cunt' but yep, anyway. The hates scousers bit is added by the 'mate' I don't think he says anything like it.
2- Liverpool fans love a conspiracy obviously. Looks like the games he has been involved with recently (since, depending on when it was actually filmed?) have mostly if not all been Liverpool wins. Not sure if anything controversial in those.
 
So he doesn’t like Klopp. I doubt many of them do when you see him screaming at assistant refs.
He’s been stitched up by the other dipstick who sounds drunk. Coote looks like he’s had something, eyes staring out.
Cannot wait for the away fans chant at Anfield. We love you Cooty, we do.

Must admit I haven’t heard the whole thing and didn’t realise he’d said those other things.
 
Tbh aside from what he said, for me, he’s one of the very worst refs in the league, and he’s got competition. So regardless of how bad what he actually said was, the end result may not be so bad.
 
The man is hero. All fans that go to Anfield should show their appreciation for him. I wished he had called Klopp a cunt to his face though. The way that man speaks to refs in disgusting . He won’t referee in the PL no more, which is a shame for him but I don’t see why he can’t ref in the championship.
