MARTIN SAMUEL: David Coote upsets fans again but who cares? It’s only West Brom

Never mind, it’s only West Brom. David Coote may have been at the centre of more controversy this weekend, but at least he didn’t upset the supporters of any big clubs.

Indeed, how relieved must he have been that every one of his significant calls on Saturday favoured Manchester United.

The penalty that he turned down; the one he gave; the one he ordered to be retaken. All went United’s way. So no big social media storm there.

Nothing that would cause the PGMOL administrators to start fiddling with their appointments list again.
