Really?
I'm not trying to be obtuse; I have listened to it over and over.
"erm cunt... absolute-"
"hahahahahahahaha" from his mate
"-... cunt"
You can fill the gaps and suspect "German-", "fucking-", "giga-" but I genuinely couldn't stand up under oath and say what that word is. Someone might have subtitled it as "German", but that doesn't mean that's what he's saying.
And I'm not even trying to defend him against being accused of discriminatory language - I despise it - I just cannot hear him say it.

I have just watched the video again. I can't hear him say "German cunt". He says "cunt" and then his mate bursts out laughing and the audio is unintelligible for a second or so and then he goes on to explain why he thinks he's a cunt.
And I think from that point forward, most people would agree with Coote. Klopp is a bit of a dick and Milner is alright.

I didn't see a video with subtitles, and I genuinely don't hear him say "German Cunt"; just "cunt". The former is unacceptable and should lead to a slap on the wrist for using discriminatory language.
Thinking someone is a cunt and arrogant is not an offence, but he should again be ticked off for damaging the reputation of PGMOL and whoever.

I’ve seen the Coote video now. I think it’s blown way out of proportion.
He calls Klopp a cunt (not a German cunt) and arrogant. That’s it.
It’s careless to do this to camera when you’re a pseudo- household name, but haven’t we all worked with someone we don’t like (hate) and still kept it professional?
IMO, it’s a leap to formally claim (and as a result take action) that he has officiated - or will officiate - in a partial manner because of someone he doesn’t like.
We can all suspect it might be a problem, but then you’re in a world of trouble when it turns out most officials follow a club in the league which employs them.

I think @Ordinata and @Howard have planes?
