Prem refs upset with Forest adviser Clattenburg

Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has caused outrage this week.

The ex-official has weighed in on the situation involving Nottingham Forest and the Premier League.

Forest have accused the league and the PGMOL of bias against them as a result of poor calls in several games.

Clattenburg, now a consultant for Forest, has doubled down on his club's criticism of the officiating in their 2-0 loss to Everton.

"Referees do not make mistakes deliberately but this was mind-boggling to watch - why Attwell did not send Taylor to his screen, only he will know," he stated.

He also called the situation a “joke" and said that it was "as grim a game as they have encountered since returning to the Premier League."

And his comments haven't gone down well with the Premier League's current referees.
