@henrywinter @chris_sutton73 Was it a clear and obvious mistake? VAR was brought in to correct clear and obvious mistakes. This wasn't a clear and obvious mistake...
English
@chris_sutton73 I see how split people are over the decision, Chris, plenty of ex-pros saying not a pen, some saying it is. Fans/media too. I've looked at it again & again & can't come up with a definitive answer, hence I feel on-field should hold sway. As was the original intent of VAR. Regards
English
Why was it no pen Henry? Ref was advised to go to the monitor and made the call. It was still a subjective call. John Beaton with his own eyes deemed it as handball. Was he wrong? Did the ball not hit the hand of Sam Nicholson in an unnatural position…
Henry Winter@henrywinter
Celtic’s penalty was certainly a debatable decision. Impossible to be definitive either way, hence current widespread inquest, so they really should have stayed with original on-field. No pen. Understandable anger amongst Motherwell and Hearts coaches, players and supporters. Hearts now travel to Celtic Park for a title decider. The Foundation of Hearts, which owns 75% of the club, has called “on those responsible for the officiating of Saturday’s match to ensure that the highest standards of decision-making are applied, so that the game is decided by the players on the pitch and the team is given the fair opportunity it has earned”. Strong words. North and South of the Border the quality of officiating - and consistency – has been questioned this season. The problem is not the technology but those using it. There are some very competent officials about. But more are needed. Whether the Fir Park hand-ball was the worst decision ever is a moot point. Here are a few that spring immediately to mind, clear-cut mistakes, bound to trigger some frustrated flashbacks, in no particular order…. Diogo Dalot on Jeremy Doku, somehow only a yellow. Michael Keane on Doku, somehow only a yellow. Jordan Pickford taking out Virgil van Dijk. Harry Kane foot up on Andy Robertson. Tomas Soucek stopping a shot from Conor Gallagher with his hand. Rodri hand-ball against Everton. On it goes. Elliot Anderson on Ollie Watkins, cleared on review, mad. Kelechi Iheanacho denied a goal for Celtic against Braga when VAR ruled he’d handled when the ball came off his cheek. Gabriel not being dismissed for lowering his forehead into Erling Haaland. Luis Diaz punished for a non-existent offside when scoring for Liverpool against Tottenham. Lee Mason left his VAR job “by mutual consent” and PGMO apologised after he failed to draw the lines and spot Christian Norgaard offside in the build-up to Ivan Toney scoring for Brentford, costing Arsenal two points. And many others. The problem isn’t the technology; it’s the people using it, with the additional issue in Scotland of whether there is sufficient investment in the technology infrastructure. VAR is the safety net - but currently with too many holes.

@chris_sutton73 It's there to correct clear and obvious mistakes. This is not clear and obvious. Lift the green and white tinted glasses
English
Now the dust has settled.. The reaction from many high profile people is way over the top. John Beaton was advised to go to the monitor and saw that the ball hit the arm in an unnatural position Bottom line is people would hate to see Celtic win the title again and that is all.

Once again I say: "mid-range gaming mouse".
Why can't manufacturers find a way out of this design rut?
And before anyone says "supercar should be like a fighter jet", this is NOTHING like a jet.
The car with a cabin most like an F-35 is probably the Ineos Grenadier. Seriously.

@henrywinter Really Henry?

The hyperbole around this is nuts

Phil Foden back in business, two assists already, form temporary, class permanent etc. Great news for Manchester City. And England. Thomas Tuchel finalising his 26-man squad. He has others of Foden’s profile, at 10 or drifting off flank. But depth of options always welcome. #MCICRY
English
@lucyjward_ @dean19191 IF Saints are found guilty, their punishment should be consistent with the laws in place now. Clubs know what is expected post Leeds, therefore, if they break the rules, they know what punishment can be given. I don't think Leeds' punishment sets precedent in this case
English
@dean19191 Yep I understand that like I said. My point is what they did is the same just now there’s rules. Both unedifying and embarrassing

Don’t have a dog in this fight… but Southampton are not making a positive impression in recent days, are they?
A bit classless. Spying allegations, allegations of verbal abuse on the pitch and ball boys refusing to give up the ball.
Find yourself rooting for Middlesbrough.

@paulmorley19 @forestfocuspod @gergmitch @MattDavies_FF @samhcollins_ Apoligies, i thought AP had left Wolves before Ange was sacked. He definitely wasn't a viable option whilst in a job..
English
@ste_0076 @forestfocuspod @gergmitch @MattDavies_FF @samhcollins_ So technically, he probably was an option, but was still in a job at the time and on absolutely nobody’s list given the state of his Wolves team at the time.

We'll be recording our regular listener Q&A soon. If you have any #nffc questions you'd like us to tackle, drop them in the comments below. 🙏
@MattDavies_FF will be joined by @gergmitch and @samhcollins_.
English
@paulmorley19 @forestfocuspod @gergmitch @MattDavies_FF @samhcollins_ Why wasn't VP a viable option post Ange? Unless there was a gardening leave issue post VP leaving wolves. I think Marinakis wanted Dyche and that was the reason he was appointed. Sadly it didn't work and EM made the change to appoint VP
English
@ste_0076 @forestfocuspod @gergmitch @MattDavies_FF @samhcollins_ For sure, we’d be in a better position now had VP come in post Ange. Not up for dispute. But that wasn’t really a viable option at the time. In truth, the realistic options post Ange were pretty limited. Hence why we ended up with Dyche.
English
@paulmorley19 @forestfocuspod @gergmitch @MattDavies_FF @samhcollins_ We'll never know. VP may have instilled that structure and confidence post Ange. What Dyche did to fringe players' confidence was awful. He belongs to a different era but whilst he's given a voice, his media mates will keep lapping him up and keeping him in public's mind
English
Certainly don’t disagree that had he still been here, staying up would have been much more difficult and uncomfortable than it’s proved to be under Vitor. But that wasn’t the question. For sure he left us in a sticky spot, but arguably we were in even more of a mess when he arrived?
English
@paulmorley19 @forestfocuspod @gergmitch @MattDavies_FF @samhcollins_ 2/2 Under Pereira. Plus Dyche was divisive, lost the majority of fans and made watching Forest a misrable experience. I have said before, i wanted it to work but Dyche is a one trick pony. If he had remained, we would have gone down. #nffc
English
Given Dyche won 22 points from 18 PL games during his tenure, and the other three managers have won 21 points between them in the other 18 games (not to mention the 13 points from 6 UEL games, despite the Braga debacle), even though there was a relatively bitter ending, do you think history will judge that he has ultimately helped or hindered our season?
English
@paulmorley19 @forestfocuspod @gergmitch @MattDavies_FF @samhcollins_ He definitely hindered. He was on a downward trajectory. 1/2

I think we can all see Arsenal aren't Champions even if they do finish top. Disgrace. As hated as their fan Keir Starmer and quite right too.

This is unacceptable from a Premier League Referee.
Rob Jones requires some operational advice. Important to be visually seen to be impartial

Not a chance he does what he done for Wolves when they went on a good win streak.

Nottingham Forest are staying up.
Another bonkers rollercoaster season with 4 managers, a European semi-final & safety secured with only 2 games left. Some difficult moments, but job done.
Real chance that the manager who got them into Europe could now be relegated #nffc 🎢
