Read our privacy policy Nottingham Forest have launched a bitter attack on referees chiefs after they were denied three penalties during their costly 2-0 Premier League defeat at Everton. Forest’s post received a scathing response from Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, who accused the club of lacking “class”. “I get it, the frustration – the officials had an awful day, terrible – but you can’t get involved in that, that’s nonsense.” Fellow pundit Gary Neville, who described the suggestion about the VAR as “ridiculous”, added: “It’s horrendous the statement by that football club and it lets the proud history of that club down.”
