Nottingham Forest’s anger at the refereeing in last night’s 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United was clear for all to see.
The game was only half-way through when Forest boss Steve Cooper and Toon assistant Jason Tindall were summoned to the referee’s office and told to calm down.
After the game Eddie Howe claimed he would need to have the offside rule explained to him after Elliot Anderson had a ‘goal’ ruled out. Then it emerged that Forest as a club were furious with the performance of official Paul Tierney.
