Martinez hero to zero!

At the very least if VAR off-side checks take so long then stop the clock. No doubt then that the ridiculous time taken is added back.

You can't score with your arm. Stupid rule to take that into account with off-side. Also yearn for the benefit of doubt to the attacker...

You know there is no place for good old plain common sense within the sport

Absolutely this. If you’re spending literal minutes looking at grainy stills to try and decipher if someone’s offside, it’s not clear and obvious, so don’t over turn. Not hard?

Fully deserved 3 points and an entertaining game of football.

Altogether now…

I'm assuming Anderson's "brief" pull on the Villa players arm. I'd say a penalty except I think the initial foul was by the villa player pulling Anderson's shirt up over his back. Subsequently Anderson was kind of hunched over and lost balance and pace so grabbed out...

That’s what I thought happened unless there was another incident that I missed

Seemed to be just like most of the other shirt pulls they haven’t given recently for any team

Missed the entirety of the game as I was out on a family do. 😩 Will have to make do with MOTD highlights later! Very pleased indeed with the result though. Been a while since we’ve had a stoppage time winner.

After watching the Forest v Villa game i dont want to to be reading about corruption or protection of the big 6 on here after Villa not geting a stonewall penalty.

Hi there, Mr Happy. Neither Forest nor Villa are a Big Six side. Hope that helps. 👍

Brief pull?
He had hold of his arm with enough force to impede him. It was a stonewall penalty imo.

Imagine the furore on here had that happened to Forest against City,United,Liverpool,Arsenal etc

Oh right so pulling someine back by the arm is ok as long as its not a big team?

“Buddy” 😂

Are you a bit precious

Maybe you saw something others didn’t see out there hence why someone has questioned what you believe to be a “stonewall penalty”
Precious? Oh my sides are splitting!!

Imagine if this happened to St Salah or Diaz you'd have 107 links to twitter proving it was a pen!!
