Kudus banned for 5 games for slapping VDV in a rucus, Nicolas Jackson did exactly the same thing a few weeks ago but wasn't punished at all.

I guess they've proven many times over that it all depends on which shirt you're wearing.

So this is what it looks like when a ref ACTUALLY doesn’t like your team



These are the videos in question leading to the investigation.



Coote famously VAR’ed the following games after the Burnley one where we said he was shit that he mentions in video:

- Everton game where Pickford injured Virgil (and called Mane offsides on the winner)

- Man Utd game where Divock Origi was fouled in buildup to their goal. (Game ended 1-1 on late Lallana winner)

- Odegaard’s handball last season

- wasn’t going to call a foul on Bailey during LFC’s first goal yesterday.


He’s done. At the minimum he should never ref LFC game again. Caught in 4k. My thoughts on this guy are well known and yeah I feel a little less crazy today

It's bizarre I think everyone was aware that there are significant biases within the PGMOL, but no one could have expected one of them to be revealed in some random video like this

They think they are teflon, and they largely have been. We’ve never seen one get caught in 4k before

There are obvious biases from certain referee with certain teams. Overall, I do believe english football is quite bad in term of refereeing.

Funny enough although Coote has been quite terrible overall against LFC, he would not even be in my top 3 of referee/VAR bad decision against them.

“A missing persons report has been filed for Paul Tierney”

But yeah I’m not going to dwell to much on this except to say when you’ve got a ref calling Klopp a German ‘see you next Tuesday” on video with a person saying F### the Scousers, that just sums it up

It’s not really a conspiracy when there’s a video of him basically saying f*** that team.

He’s not even the worst. But the decisions that went against are pretty wild.

Coote claiming it’s a deepfake, apparently.

If it is, then deepfake technology has progressed a lot in the last few years.

Which as far as I know it has not.
I've developed amazing deep fake technology. I can use it to affect elections, or manipulate markets to make billions. Instead I decide to make deep fakes of a PL referee who isn't even considered one of the elite officials within the PL. Makes a lot of sense.

Great, so now we're upset about referees being honest?
