Nottingham Forest accuse VAR Stuart Attwell of being a Luton fan after defeat at Everton

Nottingham Forest has claimed that Stuart Attwell, who acted as the VAR in their controversial 2-0 loss against Everton, is a supporter of Luton Town. This accusation was made after numerous requests for penalties from Forest were denied.

During the match, referee Anthony Taylor dismissed Forest's penalty appeals three times, and Attwell in the VAR booth confirmed the decisions made by Taylor on the pitch.

Forest took to X, previously known as Twitter, to express their disappointment with the outcome of the game. They stated that there were three instances where penalties should have been awarded, but were not recognized by the officials. Forest emphasized that this unacceptable behavior must be addressed.

Before the game, we alerted the PGMOL that the VAR may have a personal bias towards Luton, but they chose not to replace him. We have had to exercise considerable patience in the past. The NFFC is now contemplating its possible courses of action.

Mark Clattenburg, who was previously a referee in the Premier League, is currently acting as a consultant for Forest. He attended the match at Goodison Park.

Jamie Carragher, a pundit for Sky Sports, believed that Forest should have received penalties in the first half of the match. He expressed his disbelief at the statement made, calling it "embarrassing". Meanwhile, Gary Neville criticized the statement, referring to it as "horrendous".

After losing at Goodison Park, Nuno Espirito Santo's team is only one point ahead of Luton, who are currently in the 18th position, with four games left to play.

The young player was very lucky to avoid three penalty claims.

The manager of Forest shared with Sky Sports that they have attempted to overlook it, but unfortunately, they have been experiencing a recurrence of negative choices that have not been in their favor. These biased decisions have not been acknowledged by the referee. This has caused great difficulty in maintaining the players' attention and the manager's composure during gameplay, as it has become a challenging situation to handle.

We've all been witnessing what's been going on, not just in this particular match. Personally, I've witnessed some distressing images and I'm certain the players have too. In my opinion, Gio Reyna was fouled and therefore, it should have been a penalty kick. Additionally, there was also a handball and an incident involving Callum (Hudson-Odoi).

As a club, it's natural for us to have such a reaction because we strive for excellence and accuracy. We simply do not desire subpar referees.

'Pub-like Criticism By Carra And Neville: Slamming Forest Statement'

The popular football pundit Jamie Carragher, who works for Sky Sports, has expressed his thoughts on the current state of football in England. Carragher believes that there is a lack of creativity and originality in the English game, with teams relying too heavily on playing safe and not taking risks. He argues that this leads to a boring and predictable style of play, and a lack of excitement for fans. In order to improve this, Carragher suggests that coaches need to encourage their players to be more daring and take risks on the pitch. He hopes that this will lead to a more entertaining and innovative style of football in England.

This blog post is sharing an update on the Premier League and its clubs. Unfortunately, referees Stuart Attwell and Anthony Taylor had a very bad day today and should receive criticism. However, the tone of the post reads like it was written by a fan in a pub and the comments made about Nottingham Forest are quite embarrassing.

Garbage: Is the VAR a fan of Luton? Don't entertain such thoughts. It is important for a football club to display grace and dignity. Such claims are baseless.

Former Manchester United and England football player, Gary Neville, who is now a pundit for Sky Sports, recently made a comment regarding the current state of Manchester United. Neville expressed his belief that Manchester United needs a director of football to help oversee the club's transfer dealings. According to Neville, Manchester United's recent transfer struggles stem from a lack of clear direction and communication within the club. He believes that the appointment of a director of football would better structure the transfer process and help them identify and secure top-quality players. Many Manchester United fans agree with Neville's sentiments, as the club has faced criticism for their transfer activity in recent years. However, it remains to be seen if the club's management will take Neville's advice and seek out a director of football in the near future.

That statement made by the football club is really terrible. It brings shame to the club's honorable past. Moreover, the accusation of dishonesty, implying that the referee is a supporter of Luton Town, is just absurd. I have no idea what "explore all options" even signifies.

Is it fair for the forest to feel frustrated by the officiating?

Williams Condemns 'absurd' Choices

Neco Williams, a player from Nottingham Forest who plays in defense:

There were three obvious penalties during the game and anyone who saw it knows they were penalties. This is happening every week now and we keep getting unfavorable decisions. I am unsure of the reason why this is happening.

Could it be that we're considered weaker teams who are at the bottom half of the table? I'm certain the top six teams are receiving favorable calls. It's unfair that every week we seem to be facing unfavorable decisions.

By the end of the day, we're struggling to remain in the league with no backing from the Premier League or higher-ups. This is now completely absurd.
