Both look totally wired to boot.

Cant see a problem, appears to be telling the truth and didn’t seem to affect is refereeing of Liverpool on Saturday.
What’s wrong with a ref having his own views. The world’s going soft.

[Deereyme66]

Er, because he’s clearly biased and supposed to be a professional?

[Awaywego]

Didn’t Liverpool win 2-0 where’s the bias in that.

[MK Iron]

I would question the judgement and intelligence of anyone involved in professional sport allowing that to be videoed.

Surely traits we would expect to see in top class referees.

If it was the same coloured shirt and a few miles eastwards on the M62, AWG would have a different tune, fact.

However, if it were Man U he was talking about.

Awayhypocrisygo, well it is his middle name after all.

[Awaywego]

Would expect all referee’s to have strong and sometimes nigh hateful views on different teams including Man u no big deal they only express the same as many fans and players come to that across the country do.
He got filmed expressing his and will get hung to dry in this woke society we’re becoming.

What’s the difference between him expressing his views on Liverpool at that one moment in time and David Lammy and the rest expressing their views on the Donald, other than Lammys could be more consequential for us all.

[Deereyme66]

Lol, David Lammy has nothing remotely to do with this, neither is it comparable. Nothing to do with a supposed ‘woke society’. It’s about professional standards of referees. I doubt his fellow referees appreciate him undermining their profession. He’s opened a right can of worms and it’s other referees that will suffer.

Opened a can of worms my arse just plain naivety to think that refs don’t have views. And what exactly do think the other refs will suffer lol.
Coleman won’t suffer if he keeps his place sure fans at many grounds will laud him and sing “there’s only one David Coote” and the loudest at Man u.

[Iron-awe]

As long as the fans laud him that makes it alright then, unbelievable Jeff could you actually make this numb skulled approach up, apparently in Awaywego’s world you can.

[TwoWrights]

I refer AWG to my original response.

“Lol, David Lammy has nothing remotely to do with this, neither is it comparable”.

Don’t discourage him from making these inappropriate comparisons. They are funny!

Politicians should always be impartial. Referees can be gobshites and biased.

[Deereyme66]

:And what exactly do think the other refs will suffer’

If you mean why or how, quite simply the mistrust from players and fans will only deepen causing even more referee hassle and disruption to the game, from the Premier league right down to grass roots, where they can get dogs abuse. No one’s naive enough to think bias doesn’t come in to it but when you’ve got a Premier league ref on camera calling a manager a c*** and showing bias towards one particular club, the accusations of bias during and after games will probably increase. Added to that, him as md his pal on camera look like they’re on class A drugs. They may well just be high on life of course but it’s not a good look for any professional, bar Keith Richards

You deliberately got those the wrong way round didn’t you?
