After another controversial call went against his Nottingham Forest team in a 1-0 loss against Brighton, Nuno Espirito Santo questioned, “Why always us?”
Jakub Moder’s tackle of Neco Williams, according to Nuno, was a “clear red card”.
“Someone tell me it is not a red card, am I saying something really stupid?” I was furious at the Forest boss.
While reviewing the studs-up challenge, the video assistant referee (VAR) did not request that referee Michael Salisbury upgrade Moder’s yellow card.
Nuno went on, “VAR stops the game; it’s a clear red card.” “It is week after week – that is enough.”
Following the setback, Forest’s lead over Luton in the relegation zone was reduced to only three points.
But before facing a crucial match at home against Forest on Saturday, the Hatters have the opportunity to tie the score when they play their game in hand at Bournemouth on Wednesday.
Forest, who employed former official Mark Clattenburg as a referee analyst, has expressed their dissatisfaction with rulings for the second week in a row.
Referee Paul Tierney’s decision to give possession back to Liverpool through a drop-ball before Darwin Nunez grabbed a winner in the 99th minute infuriated Forest.
The Football Association filed charges against the team and first-team coach Steven Reid for misbehavior after Reid confronted Tierney after the team’s 1-0 loss.
“I’m just genuinely curious, so please explain. Why are we always the ones?” Nuno stated to Sky Sports.
To Premier League Productions, Morgan Gibbs-White, a midfielder for Forest, remarked, “It is getting ridiculous, honestly ridiculous.” This season, the number of choices that have gone against us has been absurd.”
