Nottingham Forest were left fuming after they were on the wrong end of three big refereeing decisions in their 2-0 defeat to Everton on Saturday afternoon
Former top ref Mark Clattenburg has spoken out amid the furious Nottingham Forest row - defending himself after Gary Neville called for him to resign from his role at the club.
They claim they were denied THREE penalties, including an unpunished handball by Ashley Young, and released a raging tirade on social media criticising the officials' performance and highlighting that the VAR official is a Luton Town fan - one of their direct rivals in their relegation battle.
Young found himself at the heart of all the major decisions, with Stuart Atwell, the VAR official, choosing not to send the on-field referee for a second look at the monitor. Clattenburg argued that such close calls were exactly why the technology was introduced, and failing to utilise it was a significant mistake.
