Bloke would have been a right handful around 1938. If that ref is fired it's bang out of order. He isn't obligated to like people who are rude to him.
 
Can't stand Klopp...but I would have loved him at spurs. Made refs afraid to call shit against him and got a squad motivated. I thought that's what we were gonna get with Mourinho.
 
Of course Klopp isn't a saint, he is protesting against an unjust decision. Poch used to just bend over to the referees and empathise with them when they gave a decision against us. He refused to appeal decisions that were clearly wrong, which I felt cost us as the refs unfortunately treated his compassion as weakness and responded more to threats. Refs feared the likes of Sir Alex.
 

Poor old David Coote ; in trouble again . Poor Sod .

Ps:

According to the rules the next Archbishop of Canterbury doesn’t ACTUALLY have to be ordained.

DC should get the gig IMO ; it would calm the waters up on Merseyside for a start . ( Denominational differences notwithstanding ) .

And

He , and the rest of the country (and wider Anglican community around the globe ) could just put recent events behind them / us .

Onwards.
 
I hope David Coote is okay. Genuinely. He’s lost it all in a few days. I know they can’t but the ref’s officials should release some of the audio of anytime Klopp is just screaming at him giving him a bollocking I bet he gets dogs abuse from that cunt but people let Klopp away with it. Dickhead..

**not exciting Coote but anyone in his position would think Klopp is a big fucking cunt

Unjust decision? Or just a decision that went against his team.?

The solution is not for more managers to abuse ref’s and make refs fear them! It’s to up the respect for them and make their jobs easier!

We all complain about refs, I do too. But how fucking hard is the job it’s a sport where if you can fool the ref you’re rewarded. Players are encouraged to cheat and time waste it’s all on the ref’s see all and track all! It’s a disgrace really

When a ball goes out for a throw even the player that knows the ball went out of his puts his hand up to claim the throw in the hope the ref is fooled

It’s a sly dishonourable game and refs can’t see everything they need protection and honestly a renewed culture of honest players

It’ll never happen. Shame really
