\n

Nottingham Forest have lost their appeal against a \u00a3750,000 fine for a social media post criticising video assistant referee Stuart Attwell.<\/b><\/p>\n

They were fined by the Football Association in October for an “attack on the integrity of a match official on an unparalleled scale”.<\/p>\n

Forest complained on X about three penalty decisions that went against them during a 2-0 Premier League defeat at Everton on 21 April 2024.<\/p>\n

Forest’s post said they had “warned” referees’ body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) that Attwell, who was the VAR for the match, was a fan of relegation rivals Luton, but that “they did not change him”, adding: “Our patience has been tested multiple times.”<\/p>\n

In October Forest said the fine was “disproportionate”, but on Monday the FA said an appeal board had upheld the sanction.<\/p>\n

“In our view, a heavy penalty was entirely merited for this very serious offence,” the board said in its written reasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“An aggravating feature of the offence was that the tweet was viewed by millions of people. In short, it went ‘viral’. This was predictable and no doubt intended. <\/p>\n

“It was also predictable that it would cause great distress to the match officials and their families.”<\/p>\n

Defeat by Everton left Forest one point ahead of Luton, although they ended the season in 17th – six points clear of the relegation zone. Luton were relegated.<\/p>\n

Forest are third in the table with 10 matches of this season remaining.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
