Another edition of Tweets of the Week, although everyone seems to be heading over to Bluesky now. Maybe we will too.
You’ve all seen it by now, but that video of David Coote calling Jurgen Klopp a “c*nt” was extraordinary.

Look, who among us hasn’t committed potentially career-ending material to video at the end of a gaff party?

It’s the one rule you just can’t break.
Chats at afters are sacred and anyone who partakes in one is duty bound by an unwritten code to leave whatever was said in the kitchen at 7am firmly in the kitchen at 7am. That fella who done the ref is a proper grass and I hope never gets invited out again

At this stage he might as well.
Coote should lean into it and call himself Pablo EscoVAR

I mean, they have a point.
David Coote getting shit for sniffing lines and hating Liverpool Football Club, in other words he is the same as 90% of people that attend football games in this country.

It’s not even the biggest controversy David Coote has been involved in. There’s no coming back from this:
David Coote could be in further hot water after a new video was leaked appearing to show the Nottinghamshire referee saving Football Manager before a match and then reloading the game after his side were defeated. pic.twitter.com/oviJlV9u8C

The BBC confirmed that Gary Lineker will leave BBC Match of the Day at the end of the season. Alex Scott is a possible replacement, to which I’m sure viewers will have a completely normal reaction if it happens.

Shaking my head at this lad’s lack of spatial awareness, even when “man on” is being shouted at him. Young players today, eh?
Who’s shouting “man on” like he’s getting counter pressed in the midfield 😭🤣 https://t.co/LztGp2ossP

It’s a blessing and a curse.
Worst thing about football is knowing the correct pronunciation of random place names honestly, someone at work today was pronouncing the ch in altrincham and I didn’t have the heart to correct him but it hurt me in my soul

I’m a simple man. Someone puts a video of a dog invading a football pitch in front of me and I will watch it. Over and over again.
🚨🐶 DOG ON THE PITCH! 🚨🐶 You’ve just gotta see this.
Amazing scenes in Wellington as Phoenix captain Annalie Longo’s dog runs riot.
