Nottingham Forest has been fined £750,000 by the Football Association following a controversial social media post criticizing VAR official Stuart Attwell after their defeat to Everton last season. The club claimed that three penalty decisions were unfairly denied and questioned Attwell's impartiality due to his support for Luton Town, a rival in the relegation battle. Forest argued that the FA's proposed fine was 'wholly disproportionate' and announced plans to appeal. The FA found the club's actions to imply bias and bring the game into disrepute, yet Forest denied questioning the integrity of the officials. Despite the fine, Forest has requested that PGMOL consider 'contextual' rivalries when appointing referees, a suggestion not yet adopted in official criteria.
