He's been suspended on full pay despite the fact that the video was allegedly shot prior to his employment

And despite the company speaking very highly of him! But it's a reputational thing and I guess the company are weighing up their options?

Mods, best start a new thread on this as it looks like a long-running saga. Footage seems to be available now (from a 'mate' ) of Coote snorting coke during the Euros.

Drugs tests for all officials to become the norm - lol!

This is getting crazier and crazier!

If money is being offered for juicy tit bits, I bet theres one or two other refs holding their breath!

Probably the biggest non-surprise for a long time - Premiere referee David Coote sacked from his duties - let’s hope he was the only bad apple in the barrel
