He wasn’t the ref or the VAR in this game so if that’s your hard evidence then forgive me for having my doubts as to the validity of your argument.

He hasn’t been in charge of a Newcastle game for 2.5 seasons.
Did he say something rude about Howe or Saudi Arabia that we just don’t know about yet?
I’ve been wondering about this for a while, does anyone have anywhere to find a history of games he’s been involved in?
Sounds almost as though he’s not been involved in general for a couple of years…
Fair dues.
You got me there.
You must be happy
Edit…
The decision helped City win the league.
Kavanagh is another suspect official

I’m not sure if thats tongue in cheek?
But I think you probably have the right answer…
It’s not about catching you out, it’s about basing arguments in fact. You were adamant he cost us the league with a decision in a game in which he wasn’t involved. You see how that then might make someone wonder whether you’ve actually had any critical thought or are just spouting things you’ve read elsewhere on the internet.
The fact you’ve then shifted the focus to the officials that were involved in that game and have picked out Kavanagh as the chief culprit when Paul Tierney, a bloke Klopp openly had an issue with, suggests your points are more reactionary than well thought out.
Any points I have made regarding certain officials are long standing.
And I accepted I made a mistake on the Rodri handball.
However,
I have been consistent in my view for quite a while now. Go back to “that thread” on TIA and I was strong in my opinion even then. Liverpool are shafted by certain individuals. I stand by that.
Your contention that my posts are reactionary is like your “angry” comment relating to me earlier. You don’t like someone arguing an opinion contrary to yours, so you point score with observations that have no truth.
This should list all the games officiated by the referees over the past seasons

Wow that’s truly a terrible article !
Defending referees as only human, by writing an article of them acting like the lads in The Inbetweeners.
Playing pranks, heavy drinking, nights out with girls/hookers (not their wives), spiking drinks. See they are not robots they are human Iike us too !
You should feel sorry for them, they act like that because of the pressure…who would possibly want to be a referee.
However even a teenager knows, social media in your private life can have negative consequences in your work life. People in everyday normal jobs are sacked everyday because of footage while they are drunk or on drugs. I once rejected a job candidate because of his social media posts.
The media defending him, should at the very least be criticising the lack of professionalism, and that it is a symptom of broader issue amoung refs.
They are part of a multimillion pound industry. Paid by normal world standards incredibly well. Players half their age are far more professional. It’s as if the game has moved on in terms of professionalism and they are still stuck in the 1980s.

Yeah, no. I’m not that willing to dedicate that much time to defending David Coote.
But thanks for the link. It seems to only cover games for which he was in the middle though…

By “observations that have no truth” do you mean things like blaming Coote for a decision in a game he wasn’t even officiating in?
I’d put the stones down and close the curtains of that glass house you’re in my friend.
I already accepted that I made a mistake on the Rodri handball. Twice.
Point scoring again?
Thats all you have?
Your observations regarding reactionary posts and calling me angry are wide of the mark…
But you know what, I admitted a mistake, twice.
Doubt you will do that.
He refereed 71 PL matches in that period. None involving Liverpool though.

So he was the VAR who decided not to give the penalty for handball against Cucurella? 
Just wait until it’s revealed Paul Tierney was behind the camera all along.

The reporting in this video is really not showing him in a good light.
But the original source is banned from here and makes me thoroughly uncomfortable.
