Nottingham Forest in the dock with FA to launch investigation after explosive social media post questioning VAR official Stuart Attwell's integrity

Nottingham Forest will face an FA investigation after the club questioned the integrity of video referee Stuart Attwell on social media.

Forest were aggrieved over a number of penalty decisions that did not go their way in the 2-0 defeat by Everton on Sunday and were incensed that Attwell, acting as VAR, did not intervene. After the final whistle at Goodison Park, Forest’s official account on X wrote:

‘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.
