THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION says it is urgently investigating allegations referee David Coote discussed showing a yellow card with a fan before a match.
The newspaper alleges that after Coote booked the player, he messaged the individual back to say: “I hope you backed as discussed.”Advertisement “Whatever issues I may have had in my personal life they have never affected my decision-making on the field. An FA spokesperson said: “These are very serious allegations and we are investigating as a matter of urgency.”
European football’s governing body Uefa has also appointed an ethics inspector to investigate a video, published by The Sun, purported to show Coote snorting white powder during last summer’s Euros in Germany.
