Nottingham Forest could pursue legal action against Sky Sports for Gary Neville’s ‘mafia gang’ response to the club’s scathing post match statement against Everton.
Idrissa Gueye and Dwight McNeil scored crucial long range efforts for the Toffees to settle a 2-0 victory in the battle between two struggling club’s whose season’s have been hugely affected by points deductions.
Forest, however, were left bemused by the referee Anthony Taylor’s decision to ignore three penalty appeals, including a particularly notable hand ball call involving Ashley Young in the closing moments of the first half.
The East Midlands side took to Twitter following their defeat and sent out a strongly worded post which lambasted the VAR official Stuart Atwell’s appointment as video assistant referee for the game.
The post reads: “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.”
