‘VAR is a Luton fan’: Nottingham Forest hit out at penalty decisions after defeat
Forest criticise official on social media after 2-0 loss at EvertonNuno: ‘It has been a while for poor decisions against us’
Nottingham Forest took aim at the video assistant referee Stuart Attwell after their 2-0 defeat to Everton on Sunday, claiming they should have had three penalties during the match. The social media post said that Attwell was a Luton fan – they are battling with Forest for Premier League survival – and that the club asked for him to be removed from the fixture beforehand.
“Three extremely poor decisions – three penalties not given – which we simply cannot accept,” Forest said on their official X account. “We warned the PGMOL that the VAR is a Luton fan before the game but they didn’t change him. Our patience has been tested multiple times. NFFC will now consider its options.”
