Nottingham Forest Accuses VAR Of Bias In Recent Match

Nottingham Forest recently expressed their dissatisfaction with the officiating during their 2-0 loss to Everton, citing concerns that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) may have had a bias due to being a Luton Town supporter. The club highlighted three potential penalty claims that were dismissed by referee Anthony Taylor and the VAR, prompting a social media post from Forest after the match.

The club's post on social media read, 'Three extremely poor decisions - three penalties not given - which we simply cannot accept. 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.'
