Johnny Phillips: VAR’s problems go viral thanks to Nottingham Forest’s tweet

To have been in the room when Nottingham Forest’s social media admin was handed the tweet to type out on the platform now known as X, last Sunday afternoon, would have been priceless.

For anyone left who has not seen what was posted – and there cannot be many of you as the tweet has been seen more than 50 million times in less than a week – this is it: “Three extremely poor decisions – three penalties given – which we simply cannot accept. 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. NFFC will now consider its options.”
