Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher does not believe David Coote would have let any bias seep into his on-field decision-making.
Yesterday, a seemingly old video of the top-flight referee lambasting Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp was leaked.
Coote appeared to call Klopp a 'German c***' and 'f***ing arrogant', while calling Liverpool 's***' and has since been suspended by referee chiefs.
PGMOL, the body responsible for refereeing games in England, are investigating the authenticity of the footage in question, which the 42-year-old has now reportedly admitted it is genuine, as per The Mirror.
