It seems like that person in the hotel room video, is himself.

The person he’s talking to who’s off camera?

What the fuck is 'best win %'?

Why are there only 4 teams shown?

Utterly meaningless and purposefully trying to insinuate that we are somehow complicit in cheating.

He obviously never reffed us at Anfield.

IIRC the decision to send off Vinnie against the rags in the cup highlights the difficulty of being a ref and the subjective nature of the laws of the game.
There are four possible outcomes to a potential foul:
No foul; play on,
Foul and free-kick,
Foul, free-kick and yellow card,
Foul, free-kick and red card.
Obviously the free-kick becomes a penalty if the offender is defending in his own penalty area.
A panel of refs were asked which of the four options was the correct outcome and each option received a similar number of votes. How can we get consistent decisions (which is what most of us want) if qualified referees give such a wide range of opinions?

A foul can be awarded to either side to add further complication.

For e.g. high profile games of the treble season we screamed for pens v Arse & Rags & they were awarded free kicks.

Wonder what happens when no one wants to be refs anymore ?

These states statements are just to fuel hatred towards refs.

We all know refs aren't perfect but who honestly wants to work under the pressure the refs do ?

Managers work under pressure and get a fucking nice pay out when sacked.

I don't see any benefit from being a ref, 50 odd cameras watching every decision you make. 100's of pundits going over it. Certain managers allowed to bad mouth them.

It's not a job for me, if klopp had ran like that towards me he would have had more than a pulled hamstring ! He would have need to go back to Turkey for new teeth.

Most employees have signs and policies that threatening, verbal abuse or physical violence will not be tolerated and action taken. Seems refs not have this

It's not that difficult at all. You do what Wayne Rooney tells you to do.

So teams that didn't win league won less games
Revolutionary

The context is that he doesn’t tend to get games between the better teams when they play each other and City very rarely fail to beat any of the other teams, no matter who the referee is.

That’s assuming it’s even true, which I can’t be arsed checking.

Coote reffed the following games involving us:
This season - none
2023/24 - City 2 - 0 Sheffield Utd
2022/23 - City 3 - 0 Bournemouth, City 3 - 2 Liverpool (EFL Cup), City 3 - 0 Wolves
2021/22 - Brentford 0 - 1 City

That's it as far as I can see. So we do have a 100% record.

Edit: From what I can see, the only controversial incident in those games was in the Brentford one, where Toney left his studs on Fernandinho and could have seen red but didn't.

The likes of Anthony Taylor have a base salary of £100k a year and also receive £1500 a game apparently. There’s enough financial remuneration to take shit from the likes of Klopp, where do I sign up?

Indeed. Plus the added benefit of having the opportunity of telling the likes of Klopp to fcuk off when being verbally abused. Seems too good to miss :-)
