Former Premier League referee Mike Dean has shared his thoughts on Nottingham Forest’s statement following their loss to Everton on Sunday.

Forest have demanded that the audio between officials from the 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park be released publicly.

Meanwhile, the Football Association has requested observations from Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo, defender Neco Williams, and analyst Mark Clattenburg regarding their post-match comments.

Forest expressed fury after three penalty claims were rejected in the loss, which left them just a point above the Premier League relegation zone.

This led to an angry post on the club’s official X account, where they stated they were “considering their options” over “extremely poor” refereeing decisions.

This request from Nottingham Forest follows a similar move made by Liverpool when Luis Diaz’s goal was incorrectly disallowed in their 2-1 defeat at Tottenham in September.

Mike Dean, speaking in an interview with Sky Sports News said: “Clubs sometimes look at the fixtures and ask why referees are doing a certain game, but I didn’t see any complaints from Nottingham Forest on February 24 when Stuart was VAR for their game away at Aston Villa, or their home game with Liverpool.

“There was no question then, was there?

“He was on the Premier League, got removed, and came back on even stronger.

“He’s one of the best VARs we have, and throughout the world.

“It was bang out of order.

“Clubs have always been allowed to request VAR audio.

Some don’t want to, they feel like what’s done is done, but some feel aggrieved and do request it?

“It’s there, it’s available if they want it, the Premier League has nothing to hide and never has.

“What I would say is that the next Mic’d Up show, Howard Webb will probably cover those three decisions and then it’ll be in the public domain anyway.

“I wouldn’t have thought they’d release it to everyone before that, because you’ve got the assessors to go through the game, the coaches and the PGMOL themselves.”
