Re: David Coote.

He did say he hated Klopp, so there would be unconscious bias. We all know some referees make bad decisions against us, and it will be the same for other clubs.

I know, that's what I'm saying. I'm disagreeing that there are man that feel refs are fully impartial

If managers don't want to be perceived as tw@ts then they should change their behaviour accordingly

Yes true, Fergie got away with it but I'm sure a few who hated Warnock made decisions against him.

Also undoubtedly true of players. We'd all love referees to be completely impartial but I think its naive to think that if a player's consistently abusive to a ref that that won't have some effect on their decision making on occasion. I wonder if the same is true if the crowd is giving the ref loads of shit, whether the 50/50's might go the other way

The changes to the way in which dissent is dealt with definitely seem to be having a positive effect. There appears to be far less of it this season and offenders are being booked much more quickly, which is all good as far as I'm concerned.

Refs are bound to have players, clubs and managers they simply don't like. After all, the rest of us do. How that actually affects their performances is almost certainly variable I reckon.

As for crowds giving refs grief, I very much doubt that ever has a positive effect.

Hes off his coconut in that video. Cootes should have known better than to let himself get filmed, but what a **** of a so called mate to release that into the public domain.

In terms of his officiating, he wont be missed.

Hopefully that’s the last we will see of him. What a pillock.

Is this a whoosh? Hmmm

Re: David Coote.

All the articles I've read have said things like "One of Britain's top referees', or "a man at the top of his game". So clearly, he's not biased. Otherwise, he wouldn't be where he is.

Nope, can’t see a video on my iPhone

Re: David Coote.

I think it’s time that refs start wearing microphones, the abuse from players and managers clearly is unacceptable on occasions. I don’t think we’ll ever get to the stage that rugby has with the respect for the officials but there needs to be an improvement in behaviour.

Re: David Coote.

It's funny.

Guy almost certainly takes abuse every match, from one set of fans or both, from the coaching staff and players, makes one comment in a video and that's it.

It's insane really. He's going to have an opinion, he's going to have a bias, you just hope he's professional enough in his job to not let it effect his decision making.

He's a doughnut for allowing himself to be filmed saying it by anyone.

Dunno why, but the thought do referees get drug tested just slipped into my mind.

Definitely not the full shilling in the clip.
