Latest Nottingham Forest news as new study looks at where Reds would be in Premier League table without VAR
Nottingham Forest’s furious outburst on Sunday wasn’t just about three dismissed penalty claims or their Stuart Attwell concerns.
Forest have been on the end of plenty of controversial calls this term. They have felt hard done by on several occasions over refereeing and VAR decisions. The study examined every single VAR decision in the league and added back on goals that were ruled out, as well as removing goals given after the intervention of VAR. It only focused on decisions directly affecting goals and did not take into account subjective calls.
The picture at the bottom end of the table doesn’t change too much when VAR is taken away. The relegation places remain the same, although Luton Town would be on 24 points rather than 25 and Burnley would be two points worse off. Meanwhile, the study shows Everton have gained three points thanks to VAR.
In March, the full-time whistle was met with chaotic scenes at the City Ground when the hosts lost 1-0 to Liverpool. Forest were furious at not being given the ball back, despite having possession when play was stopped for a potential head injury to Ibrahima Konate in the 97th minute of the match. Referee Paul Tierney opted for a drop-ball at the feet of Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher and the visitors went on to win a corner, from which Darwin Nunez scored.
