[Football] David Coote

[HeaviestTed]

I’d say it is possible to both not like someone and also be impartial, if he is a professional then that is what I would expect.

Surely this is really quite obvious? He shouldn’t be sacked for not being impartial but I do think he should be disciplined for allowing himself to be video’s calling Klop a ****

[ROSM]

To be fair I would rather have a panel of Lenny Peters, Chris Macausland and Stevie Wonder viewing the validity of that video than let the pgmol tech experts consider my fate

 

[WASH]

Gotta feel sorry for these now as all these types of birds will most likely be hounded out and barred and blacklisted from Liverpool like everything else the locals have a grievance with. I bet the local duck ponds and lakes are being scoured by the scousers as we speak. #prayforthecootes

 

[ChickenDipper]

It’s saying he now accepts it’s real but doesn’t remember making those comments. Mmmm yet was coherent enough to say don’t send that video anywhere!

 

[ChickenDipper]

Nice stitch up job by Josh, the southern plastic scouser interviewing him. Remember all you fellow southern plastic scousers - SILVERWARE IS THE CURRENCY OF SUCCESS

Of course it is, but what you don't do is broadcast or allow others to record and potentially broadcast, your views on clubs and figures in the game!!!

He's thrown away his career by being a bellend.

Another member of the bellend club !

I hope you're referring to him rather than me!

 

[HeaviestTed]

He is saying it’s a deep fake?

 

[METALMICKY]

I think the point about that incident from what I have read is that he didn't play an advantage he actually indicated no foul.

That's correct. He twice indicated no foul.

Him, sir and the rest of the shite refs !

 

[HangletonGull]

So he’s going down the denial route

Coote isn’t the first referee to find himself in trouble over comments made. Bobby Madley was dismissed by the PGMOL for disparaging remarks about a disabled person.

There was also a rumour about him having sex with a dog, but this proved to be unfounded, IIRC.

Pretty sure that’s not him in the video, the photos on his profile look nothing like him. Probably just shared the video.

 

[Driver8]

Person who is consistently a **** to referees called a **** by a referee. I can’t see the problem.

 

[Right Back]

I’ve no sympathy for him. He is one of the worst refs in the Premier League and one of those who is arrogant and thinks he is brilliant. I’m always worried when he refs one of our games.

 

[MTSeagulls]

I often read the ratetheref forum after games and controversial incidents to see their take on it. I flippantly call it sucktheref to myself (how I laugh) because in probably 95% of instances they seem to side with the on field referee.
It appears to be made up of current and ex referees of various levels.
The interesting thing I have picked up about David Coote is that he does not seem to have a lot of respect with his peers who feel he was fast tracked undeservedly due to some kind of connections.

 

[Stato]

Funny how they're digging out all the decisions Coote has been involved in that went against Liverpool.

Bet none of them have studied the match reports to find all the moments when his involvement went in their favour.

This is all ridiculous anyway (notwithstanding the stupidity of somebody allowing themselves to be filmed in that position): every single referee out there will have opinions on clubs and managers. They'll all chat away, guaranteed, at their ref seminars: which coach is a moaner, which one is a snide, which players dive a lot. Coote is entitled to an opinion like anybody else and if his perception was that Klopp was arrogant, I have no issue with that whatesoever. He probably thinks Pep is a whiney bastard too, and Jason Tindall is an attention seeking pain in the arse, just like we all do. His only mistake appears to have been verbalising that in front of an untested audience.

The Guardian have picked out fors and againsts: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...o-jurgen-klopp-liverpool-pgmol-premier-league

Still raking over that Pickford foul on van Dijk though. He was offside. Let it go.
