    Referee bias

    Ignoring the irony of Forest’s complaints about not getting penalties - they dodged a bullet with us - it is interesting to read that Clattenberg, now Forest, contacted PGMOL to alert them to the fact that Atwell, on VAR for the match, is a Luton fan.

    The conclusion from that is a belief that Atwell would be biased against Forest as relegation rivals.

    Who would have believed that referees are not biased??? And yet Kompany was admonished for calling the ref at Chelsea a cheat.

    The truth will out.

    Forest will be assuaged with the return of 4 points, which will see little old Burnley off.

    They'll probably get 2 back which could still be the death of us.
