David Coote - suspended

[Lee Trundle]

PL referee David Coote has been suspended with immediate effect pending a full investigation.

PGMOL will be making no further comment until that process is complete.

Comes out as gay to the surprise of absolutely no one.

So that's why he was on a bender.

[Gank]

I am a bit surprised how many people are interpreting this as a couple of 'mates' having a laugh on the sofa. They are clearly shirt lifters and the nature of the conversation shows they aren't that well acquainted with each other. The looks to me a like a hook-up that's gone sour down the line and he's decided to share it.

I will be honest. The last thing that came to my mind was that they were shirt-lifters.

Great move from Coote, tell everyone I’m gay and that is why I did what I did and I’ll get my job back! Diversity and all that.

[MaryMillingtonsGhost]

TBF, gay or not, he's not wrong in his assesment of Klopp and scousers being cunts is he?

[Mad Ferret]

[Massive Attack]

I wonder who the whistle blower was?

[Mike Oxsaw]

To a certain type of person the whistle has the same sort of power as the prison officers key belt.

As does a teacher's blackboard eraser...

[Mike Oxsaw]

What has happened to get us to this sort of thing?

Can anybody supply evidence of something similar from the days before the Premier League existed?

[Massive Attack]

His last match he reffed was Liverpool v Villa

Those pesky Football God's do love to have a piss take. 

[Mad Ferret]

Don’t do drugs, kids.

Become a PL referee and they’ll give you them for free.

[Leavemyarcelona]

Anyone remember the goal disallowed at highbury 01/02 sinclair or defoe i think it was.

[Mike Oxsaw]

Saudi Arabia beckons. They love a big name, that lot.

[twoleftfeet]

He was right about Klopp though, he is a cսnt.

[Massive Attack]

6 Month contract now! I don't care

[Mike Oxsaw]

Sacked!

Not really surprising 

For being a shit referee or shovelling marching powder up his Vespa?

[happygilmore]

so many bent decisions regarding us over the years, i had such a hatred of referees (the majority) at the back end of my time as a season ticket holder that seeing a certain name on the back of the programme could change my mood instantly. remember, this was long before this information was available days before a game so seeing a cսnt like rennie or riley confirmed would set off the anger

and they (the football authorities) had the front to say paying the cunts more would improve things

*I couldn't remember the name of the little ginger cսnt that was another stain on the game from the late 90s/early 2000s, Paul something?*

Paul Durkin. It was him who got the little shove from Di Canio.

Gank, that was Paul Alcock but Durkin is the little ginger cսnt I was thinking of

I think this whole thing needs an overhaul now. 
The way the FA treat referees is like they are gods and their purity is beyond question. But they are human beings just like everyone else so why should anyone just accept that they are beyond being bent?

therefore you can’t just say they are beyond reproach you have to have checks and balances in place to make sure they are in line. They shouldn’t be able to discuss matches with friends and fans just like I’m not allowed to discuss trading details from my work. Even mentioning some shit is a disciplinary in some jobs. Refs should have to abide by that code so there’s no way anything can be construed as dodgy. 

the Leeds bet looks crazy on paper. Even in jest, no ref should be discussing anything like that during a season that they are in charge or really when working in the league. It’s mental and really puts into doubt how the game is reffed. Some decisions over the years have been hard to explain. 

I remember when we got someone sent off at Chelsea for having his leg half way up kicking the ball and the Chelsea player ran into him.. like wtf was that about?? They need to prove they are not dodgy and can’t be dodgy now. 
 

[Massive Attack]

Whether it gets proven and there's compelling evidence it might, it will at least shine a big fuck off light on all the match officials now so they're on their best behaviour. Slightest hint of a dodgy decision (even more so with VAR noe it's here) and the heat will be on them. It'll make it harder for the so called big clubs to get away with big club bias. 

 

[Far Cough UKunt]

Gank, that was Paul Alcock that Di Canio pushed over.

Looks like the cat's out the bag with this one. Many fans believe there's corruption in the game anyway and this is only going to fuel that suspension further. 

Coote's needs better mates too by the sounds of it.

Yeah rather odd calling him out for bumping the thread when Coote is back in the news, and this is potentially more serious than him taking a bit of gear.
