Coote discussed giving player yellow before game 00:01 - Nov 27 with 4104 views | DublinBlue84 | Looks very bad for the refereeing fraternity now. Media claiming now that Coote booked a Leeds player Ezgjan Alioski in a match against West Brom in October 2019, and messaged a friend saying: "I hope you backed as discussed" This takes it to another level.

Who knows if that decision was bent. |  |

It wouldn't surprise me if stuff like this is more widespread than we'd like to think. How hard can it really be for a referee to surreptitiously influence bookings-related markets - stuff like players to be booked, or number of bookings etc., We've all seen so many games where referees have been crazily strict or lenient with cards, or have carded players for the most innocuous of challenges. |  |

The widespread use of No Of Bookings in the betting markets means that you should be able to appeal yellows as a club I think. No payout until the booking is confirmed after the match. But then I've always seen it as weird that you can appeal reds but not yellows, based I assume only on the sheer level of administration. An excuse levelled by an organisation that spends millions each year on subjective VAR decisions. |  |

I’ve not seen about this incident with the Leeds player but it seems all the stuff the other week was genuine. He’s obviously majority p1ssed off someone he used to be close with. |  |

Coote discussed giving player yellow before game on 09:39 - Nov 27 with 2539 views | Marshalls_Mullet | Q1. Did the player commit a foul that was a yellow card offence? No more questions. |  |

I'm separating the two allegations. This second one suddenly coming out just as the first is cooling off seems a tad suspicious. Tho the Sun article states that Coote acknowleges that the exchange took place. But also that the card was not contrived, being a genuine foul. |  |

There were officials many years ago who had their own group chat, one of the rumours at the time was that at one point there was an official who basically drew a number out of the hat on who he was booking that day, that was without even a lineup being known. |  |

I’m surprised. I can only think of one game where I seriously considered whether the ref was on the take and even then you assume they can’t be. If he did tip someone off ahead of the game (whether the eventual card was for a genuine foul or not) that’s huge imo. If it’s all true and proven I hope he’s never allowed anywhere near the game again, at any level. |  |

Coote discussed giving player yellow before game on 11:17 - Nov 27 with 2133 views | OldFart71 | This type of thing along with dubious decisions has gone on for years. Referees allegedly being "looked after" in order to facilitate a correct result. Whilst it cannot be proven a result years ago involving Ipswich v West Ham and a certain Clive Thomas where he disallowed two perfectly good Town goals is just one of the many over the years. Whilst it will be strongly refuted it always appears that big clubs get decisions that smaller one's don't. But this runs deeper than Refs as several players over the years have been collared for suspicious betting. But then it goes on in many sports. That's not saying it's right and I suppose we have to question why if it's a player in the Premier League or a very well paid sportsperson why they need to make more money. Greed I suppose. |  | |  |

I haven't see the Leeds incident. Was it a clear booking? |  |

The Alioski booking was a pretty clear booking, and no one disputed it. |  |

I've seen the incident now. Pretty clear booking that no one disputed at the time. |  |

It does look like a genuine booking that wasn't disputed at the time. |  |

You think it was a booking? You should have mentioned it. |  | |  |

Bookings are highly subjective, an innocuous foul could lead to a booking if it's deemed to be persistent or one not given depending on the way the ref sees the interaction and game as a whole, much like Delap on Sunday. Just seeing the incident wouldn't make it a clear booking, or not. Who knows if the ref went into the game with a plan to book a particular player and didn't take anything else into account? The text message suggests that may well have been the case. |  | |  |

This one was clear and not disputed. There are degrees of subjectivity, and this one was not highly subjective. 👍 |  |

According to Man Utd fans the defender could have been killed by Delap's push and Evans' jaw could have been broken by the blatant elbow. It's all subjective. |  | |  |

Not the point though is it? Alioski was the sort of player you'd fancy for a booking - if the story is true then Coote could have tipped someone off he was going to book Alioski, knowing that the player was the type that would give an opportunity to do so. And even more to the point, if the story is true then whether it was a definite yellow or not is irrelevant - a professional ref should very obviously not be engaging in potential spot fixing conversations. |  |

I was talking about the subjectivity of the Alioski challenge. Happy to agree to differ. |  |
