[Football] David Coote

The more of this stuff I see the more I wonder if he has been targeted by dodgy folk like betting syndicates. It all seems to have come out in such a way that feels like he has refused to do something after being blackmailed. Maybe a warning to other refs etc. it all just seems too much for an ex friend to suddenly do.

Maybe i am miles wide of the mark. It just feels like maybe because he won’t be corrupt his life is being ruined.

Either way on a human level i feel for him. It must be grim to be him right now.

When I was 17-18 a drugs party was called a “party”. How times have changed!

That’s true, but then I can’t recall being invited to a “party” that lasted from Friday to Monday.

A mate of mine who’s a plumber got work on a hotel down St James Street way a few years back. The entire basement was being set up with dozens of showers and sinks and once installed it was being tiled floor to ceiling.

The fella who ran the hotel said after hosting a “party weekend” he wanted to be able to hose the space the space clean.

We reasoned that was understandable as it’s surely easier to hose everything down than sweeping up the voul-au-vent crumbs and spilt sherry trifle.
