Leaked VAR audio? Everton in BIG TROUBLE as Nottingham Forest take BIG STEP that might cause Everton to be……..

Nottingham Forest has submitted a formal request to the PGMOL to release the VAR audio recordings from their match against Everton at Goodison Park. The club is seeking transparency and integrity in the sport, following three penalty incidents involving Ashley Young that went against them. The incidents include a challenge on Giovanni Reyna, a handball claim, and a challenge from behind on Callum Hudson-Odoi, all of which were checked by VAR but resulted in no penalties.

Forest’s statement read: “Nottingham Forest has today submitted a formal request to the PGMOL to release into the public domain the audio recordings between officials during yesterday’s match against Everton at Goodison Park. The club has requested this be shared for three key match incidents… We firmly advocate for the broader football community and supporters to have access to the audio and transcript for full transparency, ensuring the integrity of our sport is upheld.”

The match ended in a 2-0 win for Everton, but Forest’s outrage was palpable. The club’s initial statement on social media sparked controversy, accusing VAR official Stuart Attwell of being a Luton fan and implying a conflict of interest. The FA is investigating the statement.

Mark Clattenburg, Forest’s match and performance analyst, spoke to the PGMOL about Attwell’s allegiance before the game but did not request his removal. Clattenburg has since criticized the PGMOL, saying they should have taken action.

The incidents have sparked debate, with some calling for greater transparency in VAR decision-making. Forest sits just one point above the relegation zone, with Luton beneath them, making the outcome of the match crucial.

In related news, Everton fan Tony Bellew has called for Manchester City to be relegated to the Conference if found guilty of FFP violations, following Forest’s punishment.

The controversy has sparked a wider conversation about VAR and its role in the sport. Some argue that releasing the audio recordings would provide much-needed clarity, while others believe it could lead to further controversy and criticism of officials.

As the investigation continues, Forest’s request for transparency has sparked a heated debate in the football community. The outcome could have significant implications for the sport and its relationship with VAR technology.

The club’s initial statement on social media sparked controversy, accusing VAR official Stuart Attwell of being a Luton fan and implying a conflict of interest. The FA is investigating the statement, which read: “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. Our patience has been tested multiple times. NFFC will now consider its options.”
