@MisraRup that's what I want to know. I put that in a comment on one of their videos. I think this is something that needs to be covered. The integrity of the game is something serious.
@@molybdomancer195 That is incorrect, according to UK law a company/person can still be sued for libel. The UK is in fact one of the few true democracies where the media can be ordered by a judge not to tell the truth.
@@AjayBlanco truth is an absolute defence in the UK, and that would be a case in US courts, and a court can't order somebody to not tell the truth for no reason - and they can do it in the US, this is what contempt of court is. It's a reasonably standard injunctive relief on both sides of the Atlantic.
Ref Mark Halsey stated the PGMOL told him to lie about decisions. Clattenburg told Danny Simpson he didn't send him off 'cos he wanted Leicester to win. Dean stated he didn't send his mate to the VAR screen 'cos he was already having a difficult match. The refs themselves are saying they're dishonest. The FA and PGMOL will only think of correcting all the bias and dishonesty after a widespread attendance boycott.
Have you ever made a mistake in your life. If so, What should be the punishment. Should you be given a second chance. Does the words Human Being have any meaning in your thought process?
@@keithbrown4300 As human beings we are all liable to make errors. However, this wasn't a mistake, it represents the outing of an agenda. The mistake was that he allowed himself to be filmed expressing his bias and xenophobia as well as filming himself snorting coke. Why on earth would anyone do that? It shows bad judgement and for someone who makes a living judging players don't you think there's something not quite right there? It's like me becoming an astronaut then cocking things up and insisting that I carry on because I am only human and as such I should be excused for my mistakes? Give me a break mate.
Thanks for allowing comments. The English media is doing everything it can to suppress discussion on the effect this has on the integrity of the game. We are in an era where the greatest team has 115 charges against them and their main rival has a major referee who despises them and has a litany of poor decisions that go against Liverpool. Also, there is no denying the clearly racist element in this referee's rant. This is a scandal. No different to Italian football's Calciopoli.
He is not the only one... now referee's should be more consistent in there decision. Stop giving favour to big teams. There are so many examples 1 can mention,
If it turns out that the PGMOL had knowledge of the full content of the video from 2020, and didn't notify Liverpool or make it public, is that evidence of corruption?
It raises a number of questions, including inviting questions of the competence of Howard Webb as a leader. To be fair, we are trading in rumors there. I am not going to jump to conclusions, but we should absolutely demand answers about what the PGMOL knew and when they knew it.
He shouldn’t be near any Liverpool games or any games that effect Liverpool if he’s aloud to continue does make you wonder how many others are actually able to set aside personal feelings and be unbiased in their decisions
He was being blackmailed & this Video was made in 2020 so when he did not do injustice to Liverpool when he referee'd the game against by (rightfully so) not giving the 2 penalties, then his friends released it as they are clearly scouser haters. So blackmailed and released by friends 24 hrs after the Villa game.
The David Coote scandal raises disturbing questions about Premier League referees' impartiality. Coote's actions, as shown in videos, display a shocking lack of professionalism and judgment. His behaviour towards Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool FC suggests a troubling personal bias that undermines the sport's integrity. It's alarming that someone with such clear partiality has been in a position to make impactful decisions. The fact that Coote felt comfortable expressing blatant dislike for a specific manager and club questions his ability to remain impartial. It's reasonable to wonder if these biases influenced his officiating. Equally concerning is the media's apparent bias in defending Coote and downplaying his actions instead of addressing the serious implications. This lack of scrutiny does a disservice to the sport. The Premier League and PGMOL must take these revelations seriously and investigate Coote's conduct thoroughly. If his partiality is confirmed, serious consequences are warranted. Anything less would be a disservice to the sport and to teams and fans who expect fair play. The focus should be on ensuring referees uphold the highest standards of impartiality and professionalism, neither demonising nor justifying any manager's activities. Football's integrity demands nothing less.
Villa fan here. My heart sank when I saw he was our ref for the Liverpool game last weekend. We had a difficult enough job as it was and my fears were confirmed. Terrible ref should never have been still on the list for Premier League.
its disappointing but it is not surprising. Scores of these individuals reffing prem games need detailed investigations launched into them there is more, it needs to come to light!
2. 5 minutes talking about it isn't exactly covering it, they tell us nothing new about the issue. Stating that ref's have to live up to higher professional standards is stupid, as it's so obvious that they don't - so journalists, if they can be bothered should ask why. These guys are journalists on the level of David Walsh who exposed Armstrong doping issue so don't expect to be informed here.
2:40 As a person enforcing the law, he is not allowed to have such senitments. I dont care if it is share publicly or privately. We dont accept this of our police officers, our judges, our teachers, our politicians... His character is at questioned here. And he is not fit to be a referee becasue of this.
With Gab. & Juls ESPN FC would be finished. The only voices that have a grasp of the current affairs of modern football. The rest of the pundits here are so out of touch, it’s almost silly to hear their takes.
Corrupt referees have no place in any organized sports. They are a disgrace to the integrity of the sports they officiate. One day, corruption will be weeded out of all sports and everything will be clean and fair.
Again this must be stated CLEARLY: This is a video made in 2020. We are now in 2024 so why release it now? Coote was being blackmailed and the video was released 24 hrs after the refereed the Liverpool vs Villa Game. Because he did not do injustice to Liverpool by awarding Villa 2 (wrong) penalties his mates released it. So I am a did hard Liverpool fan & do feel he should not referee another Liverpool game. But for gods sake are we going to see his career ended and let mean people (his friends) win this scenario. He should be allowed to ref in the championship. I mean what if it was your career?
Pretty much spot on. Yes, we're all human, but people in positions of authority are held at a higher standard, and they choose that path, btw. They're not forced to become refs. Also, another thing people are skipping over is that his mate says he doesn't like scousers, and Cootes doesn't say anything to counter to hush that. But, Cootes is aware enough to say this video can't be shared lol. Absolute disgrace who should absolutely lose his job.
He is genuinely not a good ref at all, beyond the potential bias we have all seen him be consistently poor regardless of the teams involved. Totally agree with Juls, not a prem standard ref even if he was impartial
The problem is that he's not the only one!!!. We all know the other suspects and they all need brought to justice!!!. Officials ars biased against other teams and biased towards their own mostly Man City!!!. But it's Liverpool that's been cheated the most as everyone can see!!!.
Gab if you chose to do this job, keep up with the times, or maybe get your double to fill in for you. If you did not know, Coote himself confirmed it was him in the video.
1:24 Что вы несете?! Вы плохо смотрели видео?! Судья после матча Астон Вилла 7-2 Ливерпуль снял это видео, он понимал что он в кадре, он явно хотел этого, он переспрашивает пишет камера или нет, специально именно чтобы записать это обращение! Он был доволен, и он сказал это осознанно и специально на камеру...судя по тому что у него вылезла наркота, и говорят есть еще более жесткое видео с этим судьей, и скоро его выложат...война против мафии Сити началась, и уверен компроматы будут сливать разведчики Ливерпуля ппо всех судей пока они не отстанут от Ливерпуля, репутация уже уничтожена, но им будет еще хуже!
May be the referees need to be paid more? A top earning referee in the EPL like Anthony Taylor is earning ~200k pounds according to Google. If someone has a better figure please share. But the players earn so much more and you want the referees to be held at such high standards. It doesn’t look like it’s working.
I feel for David Snoot. Someone has a vendetta against him and is trying to methodically break this guy by releasing all these videos over the next days. The PGMOL thing can be sorted out, but this guy ain’t swimming in cash like Klopp or the rest of the PL managers, players, and owners.
He has money to buy coke. Also: A referee in the Premier League can earn up to 1,500 pounds per game, plus a base salary of over 100,000 pounds per year. Not a lot compared to a club manager, but enough to not say dumb things in front of a camera and enough to not snort white powder in front of a camera.
He lashed out at Liverpool in an x-rated tongue but he didn't give a shady decision against them..They're humans not robots.. They're ignoring the fact that Klopp was churlish and disdain at him in that match, but that would mess up Liverpool fans conspiracy theory so they wouldn't wanna talk about that .Liverpool fans are just using this to make themselves victims as they always love to.. They're using this to mitigate their failures against Pep over the years
South Yorkshire police mishandled Hillsborough and lied. Congratulations for believing police lies. (Guess which police force Webb of the PGMOL was an officer in)
And what exactly did they do. Keep up, that whole affair has been sorted and we all know now it was a police and government cover up. So tell me exactly what the fans done apart from go to a match and 97 did not come back due to police being inept and ineffecient
At least you guys cover this. The rest of espn fc completely ignored the story.
Why did they ignore it?
@MisraRup that's what I want to know. I put that in a comment on one of their videos. I think this is something that needs to be covered. The integrity of the game is something serious.
Yep and they were quick to post Paula bandini when she transitioned

Congrats to these two for calling it out as it is instead of sweeping it under the carpet like most of the spineless journos in the UK.
They don't rock the boat in the UK media, too many snouts in the trough.
Unfortunately, seems more of a case of throwing him under the rug to deflect from something more sinister
But David Coote himself has confirmed that it is him in person in the first video
In the UK, for legal reason, the media has to be very careful with things like this.
Not when it’s widely excepted he’s agreed it’s him.

Finally, ESPN have the courage to speak about it....by the way Coote himself admitted he is on the video
Its definitely him there's no point even denying it
"Tomiyasu will come back soon" I love Arsenal but it's a losing position if you have to rely on Tomiyasu staying healthy
So is Paul Thierny!
All the epl refs are compromised
He is not the only one... now referee's should be more consistent in there decision. Stop giving favour to big teams. There are so many examples 1 can mention,
But Liverpool is a big team?🤔

ESPN wants the USA PL rights. They were never gonna say anything that remotely resembles an opinion that is not PL approved.
One interesting question
Who release this video and why until now?
He was being blackmailed & this Video was made in 2020 so when he did not do injustice to Liverpool when he referee'd the game against by (rightfully so) not giving the 2 penalties, then his friends released it as they are clearly scouser haters.

@ he can only say that in the bathroom to himself. But he allowed his friend to record the video. 😂

It was xenophobic, not a bad word
