Given that he once posted a picture of a load of referees with Indonesian hookers, he probably can destroy his career without his friends.

Well, the latest addition to Cootes video collection certainly seems even more of a career ender, the Sun making pointed reference that his escapades were whilst on International duty in paid accommodation. If thats the case then he's 100% done for (Even more so).
Think he's going to resign and probably go on something like Piers Morgan show to discuss his wrongdoing and woes.

Coote seems an apt name, don't know why. Just does.

Let’s hope in his feeling of betrayal by PGMOL he starts whistle blowing left right and centre (this time with a bit more accuracy)

Perhaps when we called out the PGMOL for being corrupt we might have had some inside info............
Is it beyond the realms of possiblity that Coote has known about these videos for a while and has been systematically blackmailed into giving certain decisions in games?

His dad was in my class at school if that is any help.
It’s a bit of a strange situation this, a Professional Referee, talking to someone - presumably in confidence - who was waving a mobile phone in front of him?
Who on earth could possibly have been involved?

Our tweet was never justified. It’s depressing to see on X I know it’s not real life. Forest fans saying “see we were right”. It’s obscene really, the funniest thing is Coote is the only ref in the league I believe who’s not allowed to ref our games. Which is why I’ve never heard of him
I’m all onboard if people want to have a go at incompetence but conspiracy is not my bag.
Emmo, I’m going to offer you a bit of sage life advice, based on my years of experience:
Get off of X/Twitter and stay off it.
The whole platform has gone down the shitter since it was acquired by the world‘s richest man (and coincidentally, world‘s biggest bell-end), Elon Musk.
It’s now even more an absolute cesspit of dross.
Do yourself a favour and bin it off, you’ll find you really won’t miss it, there are better - and saner - places to get your Forest news.

In case anyone is wondering what the oracle thinks, he's broken his silence.
I waited with bated breath to hear this and now know.
Calling for Clattenburg to lose his job when all he did was call out what he believed to be officiating errors is fine.
Calling for Coote to lose employment status because he criticised clubs, fans and managers on camera and also is alleged to also have taken illegal substances whilst officiating in high profile international tournaments is not fine.
Cool.

People say this Strumm but I dont agree with that assessment its always been a cesspit. I should just not read the #NFFC timeline
However the NFFC news you get off there is ace. Plus you can have twitter just full of what you follow and its personlised. I am not saying you but I do think there is a bit a strop on the left about it to be honest. The Guardian refusing to use the platform because they dont like the platform does feel like "Its my ball and I am going home". I'm not arguing though as in general social media is a cesspit and you are right for my own sanity I should not bother.EmmersonForest4

Thats not what happened, Neville said clattenburgs role was ridicolous and I concurred with that. He was only purely there to pile pressure on refs. If the role was he went into training and reffed games and tried to get players more intune with refs personalities and traits than fair enough.In case anyone is wondering what the oracle thinks, he's broken his silence.

I for one also believe that after a full investigation if there is no evidence of bribery that he shouldnt lose his job. He should be put in the lower leagues for a while and work his way back up. People make mistakes in life that why you punish and let people grow.

I agree. Tried Twitter or X and I just couldn't get any sense out of it. Every time I tried to follow a story, it kept veering off into nonsense. Certainly don't feel my life is incomplete without it.

Press standards (or lack of) are set by the non-domiciled, non-tax paying, shower of bastards who own the printed press. The issue with perceived bias among match officials could have been tackled in a more productive manner, rather than simply through the exposing of an individual with potential alcohol or substance abuse issues revealing how personal views may have compromised his professionalism, leaving him exposed to the massive public scrutiny without the support of his employer or advisory bodies.
The witch hunt against bias of the match officials needs to focus firstly on the role of the PGMOL and Premier League in ignoring it and/or covering it up, rather than solely on the individuals they employ. But our press have learned nothing from what happened to Caroline Flack and others, and continue to pick on the easy targets.
I will condemn David Coote and others, if they are proved to have allowed bias to ruin the spectacle of the beautiful game, but I will not be happy if one individual is scapegoated and sacrificed while the circumstances which led to his admissions are allowed to continue behind the scenes.

The guardian's ( Boooooo !) move is the opposite of "its my ball..." Its literally Elon's Ball (and unless you similarly think hes right to say not advertising on X is illegal, ) then If the woke lefties dont want to play with his ball , they dont have to.
