Following the Everton VAR debacle, the PGMOL has challenged the statements made by Ottingham Forest and Mark Clattenburg.

According to reports, Forest did not alert the PGMOL about Stuart Attwell’s decision to take charge of VAR against Everton, despite what the team said in a shocking statement following the 2-0 loss.

Reportedly, Stuart Attwell was not asked to leave his position as Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for Nottingham Forest’s match against Everton on Sunday.

The Blues’ 2-0 victory has caused a spectacular backlash. At halftime, Forest released a statement accusing the referees of bias and implying that the VAR was biased because he was a Luton Town supporter.

A piece of the statement said, “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.”
