The Midlands side, Nottingham Forest, were extremely dissatisfied with the decisions made by referee Anthony Taylor and VAR Stuart Attwell during a recent game. Specifically, they believed they should have been awarded three penalties, none of which were given. This led to the club releasing a statement expressing their frustration and alleging that Attwell is a supporter of their relegation rivals, Luton.

The statement also mentioned the club’s consideration of their options in response to the situation. Despite Forest’s claims, goals from Idrissa Gueye and Dwight McNeil led to their defeat at Goodison Park. This loss leaves Nuno Espirito Santo’s team just one point above the relegation zone, with Luton currently occupying the final relegation position.

Additionally, there was criticism directed at the match officials for their performance on the day, with some implications being raised for Forest. All three of Forest’s penalty appeals were related to incidents involving Everton’s Ashley Young, a veteran defender. These incidents included a potential foul on Gio Reyna, a handball incident, and a tackle on Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The club’s dissatisfaction and frustration with the match officials’ decisions were evident in the aftermath of the game. However, there were also sentiments suggesting that the club’s statement may have crossed a line and lacked a certain level of professionalism.
