Peoples' thoughts on Coote's Klopp outburst?

[two sheds]

Coote is the subject of an investigation by the referees’ body Professional Game Match Officials Ltd after clips showed the 42-year-old calling the former Liverpool manager “arrogant” and a “German cunt”. Howard Webb, PGMOL’s chief refereeing officer, said the organisation was taking the incident “very seriously”. As a participant in football, Coote falls under the scope of the FA’s rules and the investigation is likely to concentrate on a potential breach of rule E3, which deals with behaviour that brings the game into disrepute.

Apparently it was the "German" that will sink him.

FA launches investigation into David Coote as Webb breaks silence on video

The FA has launched its own investigation into the behaviour of the referee David Coote after remarks he made about Jürgen Klopp in a video that surfaced this week

I have a fair degree of sympathy for him. I really like Klopp for what he's done at Liverpool but managers can indeed deserve a return on the insults they give out. Almost by definition about 50% of the time one of the two managers is going to be wrong complaining about a decision going against them, but they often both still give out the abuse.

You wouldn't want him reffing Liverpool games, but somewhat harsh if his career is over.

saw something elsewhere about this with the caption 'ban d coote'

It's stupid and unprofessional isn't it and the way he's phrased it is out of order, he probably does deserve to get the boot tbh. But yeah how managers and players talk to and about refs all the time it's hardly surprising that the refs don't like some of them is it and they're going to express that in private. If I was a ref I'd probably think Klopp was a cunt tbh.

His 'mate' looks like a somewhat suspect stabber-in-the-back for encouraging him.

 

[Ted Striker]

What on earth are they doing talking to a recording device? Why is his mate recording him?

Theyre both fucking idiots, throw away the key on him, and I hope the recording mate drinks alone for the rest of his life.

 

[Petcha]

Look at his pupils. He clearly utterly munted

 

[JimW]

Surely they only need to ban him from games involving Red Bull Leipzig now.

 

[Petcha]

He could probably do I'm a celeb or something but his 'mate' has completely fucked his main career there

 

[Petcha]

Someone's really got it in for him. Another video out there showing him snorting charlie.

I have to say it does sound like fun reffing a premier league match while totally off your tits.

The daft twat sent a video of himself getting stuck into some chang during Euro 24.

Some friends he's got.

SUSPENDED Premier League ref David Coote snorts white powder in a shocking video taken while he was officiating at this summer’s Euros.
In the eight second Whatsapp film the under-fire VAR specialist is wide-eyed as he uses a rolled up US bank note to snort a four inch line of what appears to be cocaine.

The ref sent another photo from Frankfurt on July 1. It showed his credit cards on a saucer either side of six chopped-up lines of suspicious white powder. He was staying in hotel rooms appointed by tournament organiser UEFA.

Mind you dealing with managers like Klopp and Guardiola you'd want a line or two to put you onto their level.

Now a video of him dancing round the pub, off his tits, briefly before making the Klopp video.

 

[steeplejack]

He’s a goner, tbh

A gooner?

I'm not sure that referees should be as pure as the driven snow however there comes a level of behaviour that might make them vulnerable to blackmail or betting syndicates.

 

[two sheds]

mind you, recognizing that referees might begin to give systematically unfavourable decisions could persuade managers to treat them a bit more politely

 

[tommers]

Well, somebody's made a few grand. Nice mates.

Yeah, I had some sympathy when it seemed like he'd just talked some shit with mates on a night out years ago, but if he's doing stupid shit like sending his shitty friends videos of himself doing coke during the Euros then he definitely needs to find a new line of work

I mean everyone's entitled to a good time but he needs consecutive sentences for that outfit and that dancing, the wrong un

Very good.

There's probably a list we could do of the worst managers for having a go at referees
