Did the ref officiate the game?
Whilst I don't think Nottm Forest have covered themselves in glory with regards to the their tweet, I'm not surprised this has all kicked off and there seems to be a certain element of logic within their tweet.
The standards this season have been absolutely shocking from the officials with some proper dodgy decisions.
Ever since Forest appointed Battenberg, they've moaned at the officials. It's almost like they are wanting an excuse for if they get relegated.

We should have played Forest in the UEFA Cup Final 84.
Spanish ref was in the pay of Anderlecht.

Dermot Gallagher, was doing his best again to stick up for his former colleagues.
He said the first penalty claim for Forest was not a penalty in his opinion and he felt contact was not enough for VAR to refer the ref to the monitor.

This is the same bloke that said at the start of the season that Sonny barely touching a Brentford player was definitely a penalty and it was right for VAR to intervene and tell the ref togive a penalty look at the monitor

Ref Watch: Nottingham Forest penalty and post-match statement controversy analysed by Dermot Gallagher
Dermot Gallagher and Stephen Warnock also give their views on Nottingham Forest and Mark Clattenburgs post-match statements; Dermot also says Coventrys late penalty against Man Utd in the FA Cup semi-final should not have been given; should a handball against Jack Grealish have stood?

Ref Watch: Dermot Gallagher returns to discuss flashpoints from opening weekend of new Premier League season

VAR did it’s job today. That Kulu non penalty could have been one though, I thought it looked like he was tripped accidentally.
The goal came off two Woolwich players. One attacked the ball, fuck the lines that was enough
VAR in the EPL is corrupt - no one can convince me otherwise...
Kulu clipped in the build up to their second
Kulu clipped in the penalty area by Ødegaard (yet nothing)
White barged into Vicario on Woolwich's 3 rd goal - clearly seen on the reply.
Drawing an imaginary line to make van de Van off-side - when he got the ball off from an Woolwich player (so two wrong decisions against Spurs in that goal incident).
Tomiyasu should have had several yellow cards
Partey stamping Kulu, yet no yellow given. He got a yellow later.
Partey pushed Romero with 2 straight hands before his (Romero) header hit the post.
Six minutes added - more or less the time Raya rolled on the ground
Davies kicked in the nuts - yet nothing given.

And that's ignoring the VDV bizarre offside.
I probably should have elaborated, I was referring in my mind to Ben getting kicked down below. VDV seemed marginally offside.
That kulu trip is a pen all day long. Who cares if he doesnt go down straight away. Its not like he runs and does a theatrical dive, he stumbles.
It's a pen, it stops a goal opportunity. And the kick is that it leads to the goal that kills the game
As close as you can get to being clearly and obviously right there is your face.
Flip the actors. Ben White is up and heading the ball into the net as Bissouma, both arms outstreched, palms wide, running at him, shoves him, pushing him back through the air. Pen given?
Saka into the box with the ball, Richarlison clumsily barges into him from behind, clipping his heels. Saka throws himself down screaming in agony. Pen Given?
