Mark Clattenburg – one of the PL’s most famous former referees – broke his silence after his employer, Nottingham Forest, attacked PGMOL in a scathing X post.
As we reported yesterday, Forest, fighting against relegation, received another embarrassment from the league, none of the three strongly-opinionated penalty situations were awarded to thez In a 2-0 loss against Everton. Anthony Taylor’s whistle remained silent, and VAR Stuart Atwell did not call the referee to look at it.
“It was precisely on these nights that video technology was introduced to the Premier League and yet Atwell didn’t challenge the referee.” Clattenburg, who was appointed in February, pointed out.
“A hat-trick of mistakes from the refereeing team, which unfortunately is already becoming a trend at Forest, and makes the fight to stay in the game much more difficult.” he added.
“You must have seen the statement that the team asked that Stuart Atwell, who known to be a Luton fanshould not be active in the match, yet they were allowed to participate.” said the former sportsman.
“Obviously the referees are not intentionally wrong in the matches, but it is incomprehensible to me why he did not call Taylor to the monitor.” – finished.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are one point clear of relegation with four rounds to go and host gold hopefuls Manchester City at the City Ground at the weekend.
