had a bit of chance to think on this for a bit and i think its finally dawning on me how big of a scandal this actually isā€¦

if the follow vids are true, its absolutely shocking.

if they arent, then its still a huge scandalā€¦

hes obviously a prick of the highest order, ut its worse than just being a prick, hes actually celebrating it, and taunting people in the process, i think theres enough in it that this wasnt a one off error of judgement by a stressed out individual worried about his careerā€¦

this is more the actions of someone who feels as though hes untouchableā€¦its like a 90s footballer just knowing heā€™s gonna get bailed out by the PR at the clubā€¦

not going to rush to judge the second video, but if it turns out true and lets face it no one will be suprised, if hes actually doing coke at a FIFA run and paid for jauntā€¦i just shake my headā€¦

as others have intimatedā€¦if he pulls the mental strain card ill have no sympathy, hes probably been lording it over anyone that goes near him, this shit doesnt get released becuase someone wants a few likes on social mediaā€¦

4) Is there anything untoward in betting patterns on games Coote has refereed? For example, a flurry of bets on a particular number of yellow cards? Or a particular player getting a yellow card? We genuinely need to look at every game heā€™s refereed since October 2020, for any sign of irregularity. This is a massive job, and will take PGMOL a long time and a lot of resources.

quote above is from the letters page on 365ā€¦its a fair point, someone in an official capacity needs to look at the betting swings in Cootes games, hes obviously been in a very compromised situation for a long time nowā€¦

Well you should have fucking known better to be fair.

Was clear from the video of him abusing Klopp and Liverpool that he was on drugs.

And now the other one confirms it.

I wonder if he shares a dealer with some Premier League managerā€¦

Coote doing drugs for at least 4 years and his colleagues did not know about it. Yeah right.

Probably the manager might have recommended the dealer.

Well a lot of fans/supporters have already been saying this for years about him but PGMOL ignored it and kept their heads in the sand. Now they must deal with the embarrassing fallout. Coote is so crooked imagine how many others there are within the organisation.

Not sure we have fully hit rock bottom. Half expect another video of him filming himself either

  • Going to the bookies
  • Playing Mariokart on VAR screen during a match
  • Taking the piss out of a disabled child mascot

So I dawned to me the PGMOL should get random drug tested like the footballers.

Thatā€™s as high stake now, and we might get rid of half of the current old boyā€™s club generation in the process.

Scandals involving nose beers have been happening for years now in the AFL, and given the disposable income sloshing around the EPL, Iā€™ve often wondered why it doesnā€™t hit the headlines here more often.

Two things are certainā€¦heā€™s not the only official or player whoā€™d be getting up to such shenanigans, and Iā€™d double down on my mortgage bet that the clowns in the media Iā€™ve heard this morning putting on their best SERIOUS JOURNALIST voice are all over it.

Drugs and phones. Classic combo.

Latest video (which I havenā€™t seen - a certain newspaper has it as an exclusive)

  • Coote filming himself snorting coke in the hotel room he was given for his role at Euro 24.
  • Calls Andy Robertson a Scottish prick.
  • Says he hates going to Goodison because of abuse from scousers
  • Hates going to Bournemouth because itā€™s too far away.
  • Declares Liverpool definitely wonā€™t win the premier league
  • Moaned about refereeing Oxford v Coventry saying he was too big for that fixture.

Perhaps I should have played the ā€œI was hackedā€ card or ā€œAI wrote thatā€ instead of doing what I said I would.

Depends, is there going to be a video emerging of you snorting cocaine?

Shouldnā€™t this be in the jokes thread? :thinking:

I suspect that Coote will have his contract terminated with a big payoff and a non-disclosure agreement.

The last thing PGMOL wants is a tabloid offering him a tell-all exposƩ deal.

My little theory: betting scandal coming up. Coote being blackmailed with the videos to set favourable results for their bets.
