RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 24/25 Edition - David Coote is Not Our Friend Edition!

It helps explain why we are so often on the wrong end of refereeing decisions, the past couple of seasons.
:lol::lol::lol:. You bunch are so deluded that it is insane. For years you are at bottom in penalties against you. I can't even remember when one team had penalty at Anfield.
Based on one mistake (Spurs) you were getting all decisions last year on your side.

Serious?

Spurs away. Pretty famous incident.
How long you lot will milk that Spurs situation? After that you got dodgy penalty against Everton, Konate avoided clear red, you scored undeserved last minute goal against NFO, 2 clear penalties not given for Celski, clear penalty not given for Bournemouth(i think it was them) and who knows what anymore.

Look at stats about penalties against and pro you last couple of seasons and then talk about how you are robbed.

Konate's blatant second yellow card that wasn't given vs Everton a couple of weeks after the Spurs incident was criminal. It was clear as day that refs were going easy on Liverpool after the club's overreaction to the Spurs incident. Chelsea had 2 penalties at Anfield waved away a couple of months later as well.
 
David Coote is a... New
David Coote is a... Thread
Please don't be ai generated, please don't be ai generated...
If true this is a big win for us tin foil hat wearing, anti-PGMOL'ers

I'm far from an expert on tech but it doesn't look like AI to me. It does though look as if he's coked out of his mind. And is anybody really surprised by this? Coote has never hidden his contempt for us when part of refereeing our games or on VAR so it doesn't actually shock me. The only shocking part is that he allowed that to be recorded.

Liverpool record with Coote: Played 8, Won 5, Drew 1, Lost 2, 14 yellow cards

Man City record with Coote: Played 8, Won 8, Drew 0, Lost 0, 4 yellow cards
Obvious Agenda
I honestly cant believe that on so many levels

He actually called Klopp a "german c;nt" and all

fecking hell
Where's the lie?
I want a mic'd up episode with Webb alongside Michael Owen trying to justify this

Pretty disgusting that but not surprised when you see how he refs us. Let’s see how this gets covered up!

And how many horror decisions now go against us from his mates.

Guess who was on VAR for Odegaard's Harlem Globtrotters moment?
Who?

“Long story short, Jurgen Klopp’s a c***t, Liverpool are all f***ing bellends and we hate Scousers.”

Pretty much what most of them think and how they referee our games. Surprise to nobody. Club better go absolutely fecking ballistic at PGMOL over this. These feckers ahve cost us multiple titles.
Nothing controversial imo...

Not only should that rancid little man never ref again, he should also be subject to some serious lawsuits.
No chance at all.
That shit is legit I think.

He will probably claim it is.

We better sue the entire corrupt empire after this.

Wasn't he VAR for Pickford's assault on van Dijk too?

Been obvious for years he hates us. This, if legit, confirms it.

No corruption in PGMOL eh?
It's all adding up


And if you didn't think the PGMOL are biased against us, here's evidence to prove otherwise!

Coote's actions on Saturday perfectly in line with somebody who's instructed to not give us any decisions.
Corruption to a tee.

And absolutely no doubt Tierney, Taylor and friends are absolutely cut from the same cloth
Possible Associates have been identified

Anti-conspiracy folks (like myself) are sweating right now.

Upshot is, if real, we won't have to endure his reffing anymore

Breaking news

PGMOL have announced that David Coote is being sent to Abu Dhabi for an all expenses paid trip and will return to duty when he referees Liverpool's match with Man City

For their part in this, Everton and Nottingham Forest have also been deducted 12 points
Breaking!!! Lets go over to our RAWKite Correspondent; Anfield Agenda right now

Just a little more digging

He's referee for the Burnley game that he speaks about on the 11th of July 2020

In the video he's asked how Liverpool were today, as 4th official. Now you wouldnt expect to film an official in that sort of way unless something fairly crazy has happened......

He was 4th official for the Villa 7-2 game on the 4th of October 2020

Two weeks later he was VAR for the 2-2 draw against Everton, 17th October 2020

You might remember that game for an assault on VVD which went unpunished by Pickford, and a last minute winner by Mane ruled out for 'offside'
EkiNqioXIAM0nvb.jpg:large
Looks as if he likes drawing lines in more ways than one!! (Allegedly)
 
More...
It’s ok guys, VAR and PGMOL have issued a statement saying we all misheard what Coote said. He said ‘ German’s are cute’ not German c*nt.
As you were
VAR have reviewed!

If real another (non) apology through gritted teeth incoming from Webb
The Scouse rage will only heard by mice...

Honestly, the people who believe stuff like this doesn’t exist are as thick as a bag of rocks. In a sport as emotive as football with world renowned rivalries doesn’t extend to the people in charge of them? fecking hell, even Scientologists aren’t that far down the rabbit hole.
A reasonable take...

all mighty mess in football will ensue if this is real...eg Villa will claim he didn't give pens cos he knew vid coming so he wanted not to be seen as bias against us...every fan will claim bias of every referee in decisions but now with proof they are

PGMOL only defense is all refs and most of country hate Scousers/ Liverpool so there is no real bias
;D

This will get played down for sure. I wouldn't bet on him losing his job or even being taken off our games.
A heroes welcome incoming at Anfield

It was piss poor of course but Odegaard had a game of basketball in our 18 yard box and he did feck all about it.
Football is dead! long live basketball

I wonder how he's fecked over his mate for him to release a video like that after four years?
United or Arsenal fan?

There have been so many with Coote. He was the VAR when Lindelof went through the back of Origi and then United broke away and scored in 2019.
They'll blame him for Ibrahimovic's offside goal in 2016/2017 soon...

Yep, no doubt our title challenge will pay the price for it as well as if it's our fault!
Boom Bust Cycle

Anyone paying attention knew that the refs had downed tools on Klopp. Some on here wouldn't have it.

They hated him and held grudges.
He was a cnut though

Of course Howard Webb will come out and say how shocked he is, and that David had never expressed similar views to these in front of him or in front of any other referee or PGMOL official.

He'll take his mask off and it will be Pep Guardiola underneath ala Scooby Doo
No wonder City are doing shite if Pep is behind these shenanigans

That's unfair. All clubs are probably certain that match officials make videos mocking them and calling their manager a c*nt. We are just being oversensitive.
Another reasonable take
Not enough. Him being sacked completely isn't enough, its systemic in that organisation at this point and getting rid of the one who has been caught solves very little.
They want his head on a spike!

"Due to staff shortages stepping in to ref Liverpool v's Man City is Howard Webb"
The Scouse rage would be worth it

To all those over the years that have called me a tin foil hat wearer, f you. I feel a bit vindicated after watching that footage of Coote. I know what I've seen and felt over the years when watching our games. Those officials have robbed us blind and shown clear bias against us, season after season.
Exactly.

As Kurt Cobain wrote, "just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you".

This lays bare how biased they are, if not utterly corrupt. It's been absolutely obvious for years with this fella and Tierney that there's a massive agenda, but this just confirms it. It's somehow infuriating (because it's so obviously been happening) and yet simultaneously glorious that it's come to light.
Kurt was right you know

On the one hand I can see us being on the receiving end of an appalling decision versus Southampton or Man City as the rest of PGMOL begin circling the wagons in support of their colleague. On the other, it's an international week so this story has some room to snowball which might highlight some of the other perplexing decisions that went against us.
Hmm seems suss that this has been leaked now when we’re top of the table on a strong run of results. I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve to be sacked but the timing seems significant and I worry it’ll create further animosity towards us. It’d be interesting to see how the PGMOL will deal with it since they’re notorious for covering for their shitty members. Anyone remember when a linesman smacked Robbo in the face? No punishment for him.
What happens when the opposite happens?

The last fanbase on the planet that needed even a glimmer of proof that some refs don’t like them is this bunch of absolute nutters :lol: they’ll never get over it.

it in the context of a discussion around reffing of Liverpool. Unprecedented mistake that was due to a technical error. I’m not sore about it. I’ve barely (if ever) posted about it until this incident. I’m also not interested in lists that fans (of all clubs) engage in to demonstrate injustices. Incredibly dull.
 
Its quite hilarious that they are all over social media now crying about referees and claiming they were robbed of titles when they have been the benificiaries of some of the most generous refereeing Ive ever seen over the last few years with numerous red card offences by their players ignored, stonewall penalties against them being waved off, and some really soft penalties being given to them.

If the internet existed in the 90s this would be a copy and paste of how refs were perceived in how Utd were treated.

The best teams appear to get favoured. Refereeing is, broadly speaking, given too much emphasis in terms of results. Fans (usually grown men) use officials as therapy to cope with disappointment.

It’s incredibly dull and is apparent in all fanbases. Persecution complex mixed with resentment about perceived favouritism. ‘Corruption’ - in all its Trumpian glory - is the go-to expression to articulate one’s sheer maddening anger at football not going to plan. Bad losers everywhere.

That said, a serving ref shouldn’t be caught using xenophobic language while targeting his ire towards a specific club.

He’s probably done with refereeing, which is a personal tragedy but the febrile nature of fandom cannot allow this to pass off with a minor sanction.
 
"Anyone remember when a linesman smacked Robbo in the face? No punishment for him."

Robertson is a wee gobshite and got an elbow for behaving like what he is.

Klopp is a c*nt at times and has been called one by a guy he's no doubt acted like a prize prick towards.

The ref will be in trouble over this but none of it is actually surprising, brought it on themselves with the characters they are.

We had a player given a straight red for contesting a throw in at Anfield. I take your point, but some of the stuff I’ve seen there lately has blown my mind.

Yeah, no one else gets shocking decisions like Liverpool do, it's not fair

Oh shut up :lol:

That is the most RAWKite post on the Caf!! :lol:

The majority of big decisions go your way, especially at Anfield

:lol::lol::lol:. You bunch are so deluded that it is insane. For years you are at bottom in penalties against you. I can't even remember when one team had penalty at Anfield.

:lol: I was being sarcastic.
 
Just this week Watkins had a stone wall penalty not given as Konate cumbersomely brought him down. They can feck right off with the bias against them.
 
It’s not related (I presume) but no team has had a goal approved by VAR only for the ref to not give the goal. Not sure a worse VAR debacle has happened. Totally embarrassing
That’s not what happened. VAR messed up, not the ref.
 
Tbh this really sucks. I'm glad it's come to light but it definitely hurts the integrity of the game a huge amount if he's found guilty of bias, and even if he isn't. There are probably more out there like this too.
 
Was he the referee who was on VAR when Pickford murdered VVD? Crazy if true.
 
Didn't say anything as outrageous as the media are making out. Going on like he called people nonces and said he fixes games.

Called Liverpool shit and Klopp a cnut? Both are true anyway. Liverpool are shit for referees because they try to referee the game so make the refs job more difficult.
 
That’s not what happened. VAR messed up, not the ref.
Semantics. The VAR gave the goal but used ambiguous language which was wrongly interpreted by the referee so he didn’t give the goal.
 
There was nothing VAR could do about that incident though
From the reporting in the aftermath:

Michael Oliver, referee that day, later admitted that he should have sent Pickford off, as he and Coote “got sucked too much” into checking for the offside.

“We have all, myself included, not thought about the challenge as much as we should have done,” Oliver admitted.

“We could still have given offside and sent Pickford off.”
 
Even the ref hates them :lol: :lol: :lol:
Well worth it mate well worth it. Funny how they reviewed it back but not the times Klopp behaved like an immoral maniac on the sidelines.

Is Oliver not talking out his arse there?

He was the onfield ref, he had a clear line of sight for the tackle and he's the one that blew his whistle for the offside and let Pickford off. Rather than letting VAR check the offside after he'd given the penalty and sent Pickford off.
Below video shows an angle where the linesman only flags right after VVD gets smashed too. Then the VAR lines put him offside by what looks like his elbow.

You can show a red if an incident happens after a whistle and the ball is dead. In this instance the flag went up so the VAR got drawn into the offside and missed the red card offence. It was a VAR mistake which was acknowledged after the game.

Broadly agree but the standard of reffing is in the toilet. The last 18 months have shown some crazy decisions, and I don't mean just United. Look at the Southampton game at the weekend, goal ruled out bizarrely and then Wolves second shouldn't have stood either. I don't like blaming refs for outcomes of games but the standard really needs to improve drastically.

Yeah, he can show a red, just sounds like arse covering from Oliver. He could see it clearly and chose not to act and subsequently blamed it on the offside.

There's no way anyone could look at that and think, we have to make sure he's offside that's the most important thing here.
 
Apart from notice the brutal challenge.

Under the rules VAR could not possibly send Pickford off as the on-field decision was offside as VVD committed and offside offence before the foul.

The rule is

If an offence is committed against a player in an offside position who is already playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the offside offence is penalised as it has occurred before the foul challenge

VVD was in an offside position and attempted to play the ball before the challenge therefore as above the offside offence should be punished not the foul
