    I suppose that is the only real option, can't see it succeeding though.

    How would that work, then? Are we sueing them for some points back?

    It does seem that people have had enough. Surprised that we aren’t getting a tonking online but it’s largely in favour of us making a stand.

    The tweet is pathetic and has Maranakis all over it (Nuno didn’t know about it and there is no way anyone else at the club would have authorised it).
    Problem is it gives the owner an out. Rather than look at the stupid decisions him and his son have made which have left us where we are, he gets to blame the refs and a conspiracy against us. It’s all someone else’s fault and all very Olympiakos.

    The Olympiacos fan account tweeted that this is light touch and we haven't seen anything yet.

    As an aside, what happened to the ref going over to check the screen? Did they scrap that? I haven't seen that in ages. All those decisions should have been worth a check?

    I mean otherwise it's pointless.... oh!

    Brian Clough would be turning over in his grave seeing the whiny little bitches at our club now. We've dug this hole ourselves through shit recruitment, and a revolving door at squad level and in the boardroom.

    I'm not sure that our recruitment policy has a direct effect on the shit refereeing decisions

    I do think VAR does.

    No shit. That's been brewing for a few months.

    The VAR office has to suggest to the referee that he does that. They have not been doing it.

    Legal action would make the audio, debrief notes, emails and other documents discoverable and available to Forest is all I can see it would achieve. Some of that coupe be interesting if publicised in court.

    So we are thinking the audio says "definite penalty but I support Luton so don't give it"?

    Have we watched everyone else's games and confirmed it only happens to us?

    And two of the shouts can definitely be defended. Third one defendable in the pitch but not on the VAR.

    Absolutely bonkers.

    When you sign up for a sporting competition you accept that you abide by the decisions of the competition's officiators, even if and when you think they have got it wrong. It would be a road to nowhere apart from making us look even more dickish.

    But PGMOL don't have the tens of millions of pounds that would need.

    They are all subjective decisions that aren’t objectively wrong, whatever we (or most observers) think about them, there’s no way that suing isn’t going to get us anywhere.

    I hate this shit, it’s ridiculous.
