Posting on the X platform, Carragher : "No, what we have learned is you & plenty of others are desperate for attention by throwing our names in your tweets about any controversy in football.

"I gave my opinion on it @WeAreTheOverlap yesterday morning, it drops tomorrow [Thursday]. I’m sure you’ll see it!"

Coote's career is believed to be in major jeopardy and he has been the subject of fierce criticism in the wake of the video, which is a few years old. His former colleague Dermot Gallagher , though, following his comments.

Gallagher said: "I refereed for 46 years, and most of my decisions are based on instinct; you have a knowledge of the laws of the game, the experience that you built up over the years.

"You see an incident and act instinctively, it's like driving a car, you see a red light, you don't think ‘change gear, brake, stop’. You just do it. I don't think any referee has any chance to think like that [biased against certain clubs], what I would say is that at the top level, the scrutiny is so intense - it's unbelievable."

He went on to add that Coote would have been rumbled if he was being biased in any way, explaining: "The referees are so exposed to all kinds of things, if a decision isn't right. Every weekend, the key match incidents are looked at by an independent panel of ex-referees - that's how it's scrutinised, every referees performance is reviewed match-by-match-by-match.

"A referee, like David, has refereed on there for nine years, he wouldn't have survived at that level if he wasn't refereeing on a top level if he wasn't making high profile, good decisions."
