Nottingham Forest's appeal against a £750,000 fine imposed by the Football Association (FA) for a social media post criticizing VAR official Stuart Attwell has been unsuccessful. The post, which complained about three controversial penalty decisions made during a match against Everton, was deemed an "attack on the integrity of a match official." The FA's board justified the fine by noting the post's viral nature and its potential to distress match officials and their families, thus upholding the penalty as warranted.
