The Nottingham Forest Football Club (NFFC) expressed frustration over the match’s officiating, particularly targeting referee Anthony Taylor and VAR Stuart Attwell. Following their 2-0 defeat, the club stated they would consider their options after feeling that their patience had been tested. In response, former footballer Jamie Carragher sympathized with Forest’s situation, acknowledging the poor performance of the officials. However, he criticized the club for what he perceived as a lack of class in their statement, specifically denouncing the claim that the VAR official is a Luton fan.

Nottingham Forest currently sits one point ahead of Luton Town, who are in the relegation zone, and trails Everton by four points after their defeat at Goodison Park. Additionally, the club mentioned they offer special offers and promotions to their community members and partners.
