In a statement released by Forest, it has been revealed that they intend to seek clarification on several key VAR plays after their league loss to Manchester city. The club asserts that these errors had significant impacts on the match’s outcome and are eager for an impartial review of the VAR audio. Forest supporters have expressed frustration with referee Martin Atkinson’s decisions throughout the game, citing instances where critical moments were missed or ruled out unfairly by Atkinson.
