FOREST LOSE APPEAL AGAINST £750,000 FINE

Nottingham Forest have lost their appeal against a £750,000 fine for a social media post criticising video assistant referee Stuart Attwell.

They were fined by the Football Association in October for an “attack on the integrity of a match official on an unparalleled scale”.

Forest complained on X about three penalty decisions that went against them during a 2-0 Premier League defeat at Everton on 21 April 2024.

In October Forest said the fine was “disproportionate”, but on Monday the FA said an appeal board had upheld the sanction.
