The biggest problem is how fans are going to react to referees in the future. I can see the 2 most unhinged fans bases in the league (hint: they both wear red) trying to dig stuff up when they lose matches.

A pool fan sent me this yesterday when story broke, coote wasnt the ref or on var for the rodri handball but little details like that won't stop them

I hoped it had been Coote on VAR for that wrongly disallowed "offside" Diaz goal against us last season, just to add a bit more heat to the Liverpool meltdown, but alas, it was Darren England.

Other than money being the reason, why are they trying to fuck him over?

Isnt it weird they are trying to destroy the guy bit by bit. If the worst happens to him then there will be a lot of people with blood on their hands. Not that they’ll care.
Assuming these videos are true then he is/has destroying/destroyed himself. No one else is to blame.

This tbh.

It also begs the question over whether he himself was being blackmailed over this as well, quite clearly didn't give a fuck who was filming him snorting cocaine, or doing what ever on camera (ego/ignorance)... maybe he was under some sort of control... to keep this from coming out.

The whole thing is actually really, really bad for that association, anything could be happening.

He shouldn't worry. Paul Merson is living proof that you can be a known cokehead, be shit at your job and you'll still be fine.

lot more to come out on Coote I reckon. definitely being drip fed information by someone for some reason.

reckon the next revelations will be worse!

This drip drip approach feels unnecessarily cruel and vindictive. If you just want to destroy a fella’s career, you release it all at once. If you want to destroy a person’s mental health and leave them as a shell of a person - if indeed they can withstand it long enough to survive it at all - then this drip drip approach is exactly how you do it.

The fella only has himself to blame for his career being in tatters, but so far he appears to be an idiot rather than anything particularly dangerous or uncaring towards others. My opinion of whoever it is that’s set out to destroy him in such a vindictive manner is far lower.

yea agreed.
also don't really understand who is doing it, or why it's being done.

sure it will all come out eventually.

i know he's a ref and impartiality etc, but being smashed and thinking Klopp and Scousers are nobs doesn't feel like a crime.

I'm starting to wonder who else is gonna get caught up in this. The powder video was from the referees hotel at the Euros.

I'm going with Stuart Atwell out of his mind on balloons and Jared Gillet with a big blunt.


Ah...euros! Clément Turpin on the balloons and Makkelie on the hash. Outside chance of Marciniak spaced out on shrooms I reckon..

Michael Oliver having a full blow freak out (like Will in the Inbetweeners) after doing hippy crack.
