The football world is shook up again cause PGMOL, who’s in charge of all the refs in English football, says they know about this video that seems to show Premier League ref David Coote snorting some white powder. This supposedly happened while he was working at Euro 2024, and now everyone’s freaking out and PGMOL and the FA are looking into it real serious.
Impact on Football Officiating
While they’re looking into what Coote did, it shows how hard it is for football big wigs to keep everything professional. The FA’s never dealt with something quite like this before. But it’s not all bad news in referee world – like Rebecca Welch just became the first woman to ref a Premier League match which is pretty cool. Her story shows things are changing but there’s still lots of problems to fix.
This whole thing with David Coote could really change how things work with refs in English football, and might make them change how they do things to make sure refs behave better.
