It's a bit hypocritical of Rio Ferdinand to be part of this when he is part of the problem with many poor comments on TNT Sport about referees. I would like to think this will do something but I highly doubt it will.

Interesting list. Also Interesting that boyhood Everton fan Jamie Carragher never scored an own goal for Liverpool against them. It's almost like professional pride comes first, isn't it?

@grassrootsrefJa It's funny when they weren't picked fans were saying it's because UEFA/FIFA don't rate them, and when they are picked it's "jobs for the boys". Hilarious.

2 referees from England going to the Euros. Not bad for a country which has the "worst referees in the World".

UEFA are now apparently part of the conspiracy to get Nottingham Forest relegated. These people are getting worse than flat earthers.

Fully deserved appointments for all of them. Amazing how the narrative from fans changed from "no referees at the 2018 World Cup" to "referees are only being picked as UEFA/FIFA are corrupt". These type of fans will always look for a deflection excuse

▪️ Marinakis wanted even stronger language in statement ▪️ Forest believed they had no choice but to go public ▪️ Reaction at other clubs has included likening Forest 'to a small child' #NFFC, Stuart Attwell's Luton link and a melodrama played out on social media. @PJBuckingham

@TheAthleticFC @PJBuckingham Marinakis just another billionaire who is used to getting his own way and who thinks the rules don’t apply to him. Then demonstrates another billionaire trait - thin skin - threatening to sue for something Gary Neville said that was about fair.

The notion an official would risk his livelihood because of tribalism or childhood support is the worst kind of parochial slur. Whether they make mistakes or not isn't the point - they are professionals who spend years training for their roles. It's a job. Not a hobby.

Rishi Sunak has an airfield on standby, flights booked, 500 'highly trained individuals', all raring to go to ship a few poor folk to Rwanda. Big macho talk. Shame he doesn't have the same determination to deliver the 40 new hospitals we were promised as long ago as 2019.

It is well known that the Prime Minister & the Home Secretary consider the Rwanda bill, respectively, appalling value for money & ‘batshit crazy’. The deputy Foreign Secretary wrote, just two years ago, of its absurd cost & cruel abuse of genuine asylum seekers. But here we are.

Not only was the statement from Forest wrong, they have clearly tried to justify it in their latest tweet. Nottingham Forest attempted to call out a referee as a cheat, basically saying they “fixed” a match so that his team could benefit. Whether the decisions are right or wrong,

Hopefully they are all punished heavily. Clear the issue with behaviour is deep within the club.

Great article as always. Interesting that Dale thinks of the 3 appeals Nottingham Forest only have a legitimate complaint about 1. He is always 100% correct to say their tweet was premeditated and ready in their drafts to send.
