David Coote

[barneygumble]

They changed the story

Not like they're alike is it?

"Vehemently denies" is literally the furthest from accepting it.

How've they got that so wrong?

 

[StreetEndBlue]

I know we in the Street End always boo the ref when his name his read out before the game no matter if he's done us a disservice in the past or not but if Coote referees us again I hope his name is cheered simply for calling Klopp out for what we all know he is.

 

[Bryan+]

I’d bet every referee has beef or doesn’t like certain players or managers or even certain grounds because of the abuse they get.

I can’t stand referees but im with you on this that he’s done nothing wrong! That’s not because it’s against Klopp but just because it was a question he answered the In his private life.

100% - he will be hung out to dry cos he’s expressed a negative opinion about the darling reds, like 80s in the Soviet union this.

 

[Lloydaldo11]

Martin Samuel has written a piece in the Times today which discusses the behaviour of managers/coaches/players against Refs and should people be surprised that the refs might have a dislike for people when subjected to that kind of treatment.
He does not defend Coote and says he has ended his career foolishly and makes reference to him being glassy eyed in the video.
Klopp’s behaviour is mentioned a couple of times in the article(as our other clubs and managers) but it is a well written article.

The one eyed Kopites don’t see it that way and have filled the comments section with conspiracy theories on institutional bias against them. One commenter said -:
“It’s like blaming the shop owner for someone who shoplifts from their shop”.

There’s no helping some people.

We could produce a trilogy of feature length movies based on the poor decisions we have had over the years, we just suck it up plus we’ve not got a backbone as a club to fight it.

Bless them though, all good banter when Clattenberg pulled that horror show at goodison…

Clowns the lot of them

 

[Raino85]

That's on the pitch. Away from it they even utter a word against the refs they get fined and rarely do it now. Are players and managers supposed to now take a moment and not contest decisions by officials who are the worst standard they've ever been at?

Of course they'll have a dislike for people they work with. But there's also a thing called professionalism.

Getting off your swede with some lad and randomly calling out a premier league manager is not professional. It's probably caused more harm than the odd manager having a go at the refs would ever do.

Anyone thought he might of been spiked?

 

[Shevin Keedy]

Anyone thought he might of been spiked?

Well if that was the case I'd really be expecting him to be waffling a load of nonsense, so no, I actually believe what he said to be quite sensible.

Klopp’s behaviour towards referees during his time here was absolutely reprehensible, so I’m not surprised this particular official has negative feelings towards him and I’m sure there will be several more when this current batch start hanging up their whistles and start talking openly about their experiences.

We really do have a way as a society of holding up some people whilst tearing down others. Klopp is a piece of human excrement who was allowed to abuse whoever he wanted with virtually no repercussions and given an almighty send off whilst this bloke will probably lose his livelihood.

Football eh.

 

[toffee82]

Team Coote.

Both deserve a decking.

Both should have been given red cards. Ancelotti got one for far less after a game.

If people spoke to me like that when I am doing my job then I would think they are C U Next Tuesdays.

This should highlight the disgraceful behaviour of players and managers towards refs but, because it's them, it won't.

 

[jazzy]

Of course Coote is a fool.

Not for holding those opinions, it's perfectly natural, not even for talking about it with mates but is a fool for trusting and having those goons as friends.

Of course Coote is finished but genuinely I can't see anything other than honest mistakes in any of the RS "incidents".

It would be absurd for any referee as a human being not having opinions about teams and managers .

As yes Coote was right about Klopp.

 

[jazzy]

I honestly don’t see the issue here? He’s expressing an opinion, he’s not working whilst he doing it, he should be more diligent with his opinions and his mates though.

What has he actually done wrong?

Having 2 gobshites as "mates"

 

[kenada_blue]

Anyone thought he might of been spiked?

He could play that card. But he's in a functional state to get a photo on his photo and talk about it. And it's not like it's incomprehensible

 

[zukai12_]

He should be fired for allowing somebody to film him saying all that

How stupid can you be?

 

[Duncan’s Pigeon Loft]

He should just say it wasn’t him in the video as he was asleep in bed when it got filmed.

Justice for Coote

 

[ste d' indica]

He should just come out and quote Chris Rock:

"Yeah I said it... I said it, someone had to say it, it needed to be said."
