classic this will get a few bites lol
Just accept it that the integrity of the game is at question here. It was a definite penalty. Frank Lampards interview about his 3 year old kid would have whistled for that penalty.
I know. I simply don't get it. When I was about 5 they won the FA Cup for the first time. As a young girl, zero interest in footy, but I remember it being on the news. Not an imagined memory, I still know exactly where I was. At the time The Beatles, Merseybeat, Ken Dodd, Tarby, Kenny Lynch et al were all famous cheeky chappy loveable Scousers. Like the entire country was enthralled to Liverpool - the City. I think some of that lay the foundations, they had a good team late 70s to mid 80s and the fact they were virtually fireproof after their part in the atrocity at Heysel, particularly since they refused to acknowledge their part and nothing is ever referenced about English teams being banned from Europe because of them. The mystique has built up around them going back decades and think this is why, when Sheffield happened made them untouchable. Its not right, just the way it is.
Would you be fine if a Ref told the same about Guardiola and you turn around a couple years backlog to find contentious decisions against Man City?
If I was Coote, I’d try and say he’s been lost in translation and that he said that Klopp reminded him of that German, Kant.
Im not sure about that last bit. His goose is cooked for sure
If he is sacked, he’ll be financially rewarded for signing a NDA, like they all are when they finish refereeing.
When I say looked after, I mean convinced to keep his gob shut, either financially, or forcefully.
I agree. He was spot on in his assessment. However just dumb/ niave to allow himself to be filmed given that he is supposed to remain professional. I know he has views, that in this instance we all wholeheartedly concur with, but just a bit daft.
