CLATTS HOW NOT TO DO IT
It’s all too easy to criticize Nottingham Forest after their recent self-pitying tirade on Professional Match Officials Ltd, which is convenient because that’s exactly what Football Daily wants to do. After losing to Everton, Forest were denied three penalties in this game – one stonewall and two 50-50 on the tried and tested Seen-‘Em-Given-O-Meter. Shout-Out – Serial complainers from City Ground published their criticism of all three decisions in a single tweet, suggesting the PGMOL and video assistant referee Stuart Attwell, who supported the Luton game, were corrupt and reviewed their Various other decisions that were deemed detrimental to them and then arrogantly announced that “the NFFC will now consider its options”. On Monday, the club asked the PGMOL to release the recordings between officials to ensure “the integrity of our sport is maintained”.
Aside from the fact that Everton’s win didn’t really suit Luton, the only option Forest could reasonably consider was whether to pay the hefty fine they would inevitably have to pay via cash or credit card, and Football Daily can’t help but feel the club are paranoid The hierarchy might have better served the fact that the only reason they were actually in the Premier League was because Huddersfield had been denied two runs in the playoff final that Forest had won at Wembley the previous season. A clear penalty at the end. Oddly, given their public and increasingly tedious insistence on strict adherence to the rules of the game during games, Forest’s hierarchy and their social media publicity staff have been surprisingly quiet when it comes to criticizing those particular referee howlers. A wave of goodwill.
Gary Neville asked him to resign from his bizarre role as refereeing adviser at the City Ground to distance himself from conspiracy theories from tinfoil-hatted employers who complained about Atwell’s appointment before and after their debacle. Referee Mark “Clats” Clattenberg chose to double down on the club’s stance in the Daily Mail on Monday. “Of course, if I were chief referee, I would not risk this situation, and all this could have been avoided if the PGMOL had made smarter appointments,” Clattenberg gushed in a column in which he No mention was made of being part of the refereeing staff. Unconscious bias.
While Forest have every right to feel bad about the almighty mess that is VAR, their persecution complex, tendency to write angry letters and constant post-match complaining have won them few friends. What it does do, however, is fan the flames of paranoia among the more gullible supporters, a situation that helps deflect attention from the club’s rule-breaking and myriad shortcomings in winning the top flight via League One. It is a common method to carry out tenacious defense at the same time. Ashley Young, the protagonist of all three “extremely bad decisions” on Sunday, must have left Goodison Park unable to believe its luck. Today, the Everton defender announced in an Instachat post accompanied by two winking emojis that he was listening to Justin Timberlake’s “Old Skool.” Track in question? cry Me A River. touch.

I’m curious about the footnote you left when you posted some text from Wikipedia (Friday Football Daily) about the Swiss Championship. It points to a URL for a chess website, but when clicked it redirects to a website about crafts. After doing what Football Daily taught me and looking at an article on Wikipedia, it seems that through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the remainder of that old chess website exists in the form of a series of pages Handicraft interior. I’ll leave it to my superiors to determine if this serves as a metaphor for what’s going on with the ancient cup competition in the modern football system.
