So Webb has relaunched the "transparency" programme because of the Arse match and within 2 days of that decision, yet we had nothing mentioned when a poor refs decision could have stopped us getting CL last season.

PGMOL admitting the decision to award a goal to Man U at Old Trafford versus Forest at the weekend when everyone except Man U fans saw clearly it was a hand ball should not have stood. What a bastard joke it is. What if that decision was crucial to Forest? How would they square that it might have relegated them? PGMOL and VAR are just absolutely shit.

They are but on this occasion it was just the referee that was just 💩. He should be suspended for 10 games given that he was advised that it was a hand ball. His flippant reason has cost Forest a few million in prize money.

How did he not think that was handball?

No doubt. He absolutely should have ruled it out. But someone in his ear, given how long it took to review it, should have said it’s hand ball and helped him make the right decision. It’s a massive failure all round.

Well, it cost us around £50m this season in lost CL earnings after the debacle at that place on the last day of last season.

they did apparently, and the referee went maverick and chose to stick with the on-field goal decision.
