Nottingham Forest defender Steve Cook has clarified comments from the Reds' victory parade about loving the video assistant referee after their lack of involvement during the Championship play-off final.
Opponents Huddersfield Town felt hard done by not to be awarded at least one penalty for incidents inside the 18-year box during the second half at Wembley Stadium. Forest ran out 1-0 winners, in the end, courtesy of an own goal from Chelsea loanee Levi Colwill.
That set up Monday's victory parade, during which Cook alluded to the incidents and the officiating team. “We’ll thank (referee) Jon Moss today - what a ******* guy! We love VAR! Up the Tricky Trees," Cook told the crowd of supporters gathered in Nottingham city centre.
