Mark Clattenburg theory rejected after Nottingham Forest owner ‘aims fury at referee’
Nottingham Forest’Â new referee analyst has had his say on Liverpool’s
controversial last-gasp winner at the City Ground, which sparked fury among the home side’s players, fans and staff
FollowingÂDarwinÂNunez’sÂcontentiousÂgoal,ÂMarkÂClattenburgÂhasÂbeenÂinforme
dÂthatÂhisÂmemoryÂofÂtheÂbuild-upÂtoÂLiverpool’sÂlateÂwinnerÂatÂNottinghamÂForestÂisn’tÂentirelyÂcorrect.
ItÂappearedÂasÂthoughÂtheÂtwoÂteamsÂwouldÂsplitÂtheÂpointsÂandÂsettleÂforÂaÂscore
lessÂdraw,ÂbutÂNunezÂmadeÂaÂstunningÂheaderÂinÂtheÂfinalÂminuteÂtoÂguaranteeÂt
heÂRedsÂwouldÂheadÂbackÂtoÂAnfieldÂwithÂaÂperfectÂthreeÂpoints.
ButÂForest’sÂobjectionsÂspoiledÂtheÂgoal,ÂasÂplayÂwasÂstoppedÂmomentsÂearlierÂbyÂ
refereeÂPaulÂTierneyÂwhenÂtheÂhostsÂwereÂinÂcontrolÂbecauseÂofÂaÂheadÂinjuryÂsustainedÂbyÂIbrahimaÂKonate.
Callum Hudson-Odoi of Forest was in possession at the time, but Tierney
instructed Liverpool to continue playing rather than passing the ball back to
Nuno Espirito Santo’s team when play resumed. So when the Reds scored a
winner and went up the other end, mayhem broke out.
Santo’s assistant Steven Reid was dismissed for comments made to
Tierney on the pitch after the full-time whistle had blown, while
owner Evangelos Marinakis confronted the official in the corridor outside the
referees’ room. Clattenburg, who has been hired to operate as a middle man between Forest and referees, was quick to point out how Tierney got it wrong.
If the referee feels there is a head injury, he is to stop the game,” he asserted. He
has the right to put an end to it. But the team in control of the ball must get it
back. Nottingham Forest was obviously in possession of that.
He performed precisely the same thing in the first half, but the circumstances
were different. The Nottingham Forest was in the direction of the corner flag,
while the ball was closer to the penalty area. It was Nottingham Forest’s turn to
possess the ball again. Liverpool, on the other hand, went upfield and scored.”
ThatÂbeingÂsaid,ÂnumerousÂpeopleÂonlineÂhaveÂrefutedÂaÂportionÂofÂClattenburg’sÂtheory.It’sÂnotÂexactlyÂcorrectÂtoÂclaimÂthatÂtwoÂminutesÂafterÂtheÂincidentÂinÂissue,ÂJurge

“IÂcanÂunderstandÂtheÂForest’sÂfrustration,ÂbutÂtheir‘RefereeÂAnalyst’ÂisÂincorrectÂ

ThereÂwillÂbeÂfurtherÂfalloutÂfromÂForest’sÂensuingÂrageÂtowardÂhisÂownerÂMarinakisÂinÂtheÂtunnel.”
Clattenburg continued by explaining how he will provide Forest instructions
on how to handle the matter moving forward. The former Premier League
referee went on, saying, “I haven’t given the club any advice yet, but this is a legal concern.
“IÂamÂableÂtoÂclarifyÂtheÂlegalÂissue.IÂamÂthereÂtoÂprovideÂadviceÂtoÂtheÂfootb
allÂclubÂandÂtheÂboard.IÂhaven’tÂchattedÂwithÂtheÂrefereeÂyet.
IÂhaven’tÂvisitedÂPaulÂinside.HeÂrefusedÂtoÂletÂmeÂin.
I’llÂletÂtheÂNottinghamÂForestÂofficialsÂhandleÂthat.
We discussed the event, so I’ll let them know what to say. Everyone is irate.
They put up a strong fight the entire game, and fans become upset when they
lose like that. The owner is understandably furious since he has
made significant financial investments in the football team and wants to see
returns. He believes that another decision has been made against the club.
