Guess it depends on how smashed he is and who the guy with him is

He seems absolutely cooked in the video. So unless they’ve faked that as well

That’s the wrong way around imo.
If he says “ it’s fake “ it should be up to PGMOL to prove it’s genuine.?
Innocent until and all that.
But if proven genuine that’s him for reffing anywhere

I'm going to make an assumption here:Coote was on VAR and decided that Pickfords action was not worthy of anything - it was a knee high two footed tackle that should have been a red card
The offside doesn’t mean he couldn’t be sent off
So Coote looked at the video and ignored the clear handball by Odegaard
Rodri is an error
There also a number of others
Last Saturday highlights a good number
Select any Premier League referee, and I'm sure we can all identify moments in games that featured our teams in which they either made a mistake, or at least made a big call we didn't agree with.
I wonder how many decisions he made that went in Liverpool's favour, and had opposition fans screaming at the decision?

If the video is real he should be sacked, but if you look hard enough every Official has made errors.The offside doesn’t mean he couldn’t be sent off, It does if the Officials didn’t see a Red Card offence (this has been discussed to death previously)
So Coote looked at the video and ignored the clear handball by Odegaard
Or, he agreed with the Ref it was accidental and both were wrong, you can’t put it all on Coote.

I would agree with the sentiment but the trouble is, no one has any faith in PGMOL either. So I’m not sure them saying “oh yea, it’s all good, It’s defo fake” will wash.That’s the wrong way around imo.

It’s also a bit convenient to simply blame AI. We’ve done AI videos at work for translations etc and it’s very clever but you can tell it’s computer generated very easily. This video doesn’t have any of those things.
Very interested to know who the other bloke is!

Surprised the video has been allowed on here tbh

No doubt about it that if it’s real he should be given the boot.
Even without the video I still think he is the worst ref out there - some of his decisions are unexplainable

Ruud has left Man Utd.
Got to feel for him,but suppose the new gaffa wants his people in.

I thought they were keeping him on. But can’t fault him for the last few weeks. Left the house in a decent state for them
I’d have been astonished if he’d been kept on, if I’m honest.
He’s a big, big personality, and I can’t see Amorim coming in and wanting a link to the past whose very presence has the potential to be seen as undermining if early results don’t go well.
RVN is, and always will be, a club legend. I was lucky enough to see him play first hand any number of times, and he remains the most clinical finisher I ever saw in a United shirt. His stock remains high after his time on the coaching staff, and I have little doubt he will be back to manage one day.
But it needs to be on his own terms, and he is of such a stature that he needs to be the main man.

Agreed.
Would probably feel like he’s waiting for when it all goes tits up if he’d stayed.
Comes across as a decent bloke,like you say his stock his high,he’ll not be short of offers.

So Coote is now accepting it’s real but “doesn’t remember” the discussion.
Might be due to the fact you’re coked out of your head pal.

Crimes can't be defended by being coked up so this can't either
That mate of his who filmed it has ruined his career. People are allowed private views but recording them then making them public is low

It’s the mirror so take it with a pinch of salt
But seems like it’s a video taken when someone is smashed ( or high )

He should just say he doesn’t regret anything he said,do a mic drop & go out like a boss
It's out in the public domain

To be fair, not questing the mods but normally if we link to swearing it's taken down just for risk of offence
Glad it wasn't though lol
