Nottingham Forest (H) | Sat 23rd Sept | PL | Post Match Thread

A clash of heads perhaps?

players still go down holding head now when nothing has happened with VAR watching this often breaks up play and momentum

Carnage within a few of the fixtures - Rags, Klopp? Pep got booked on Saturday for probably drawing attention to the fact that Taylor was exhibiting the limitations that are seemingly inherent in his appearances. It isn't right, and it should be Taylor who is cautioned.

He got booked for querying why the tackle on Haaland wasn’t a yellow and Akanji was. Of course there is no answer other than one team is refereed differently to the other.

Forest went down a lot in my estimation after Saturday. Absolutely shitehouse tactics.

I would imagine that the Forest fans hope that Gibbs-Whatnot lives in a bungalow. If he had a flight of stairs to navigate he'd be arse over tit ten times a week.

Another massive pass fest for Phils goal. Wonderful and a nice warm day to boot.

That episode was just disgraceful but it's the kind of refereeing we've come to expect from Taylor. At least he won't spoil another fixture at the Etihad for a few weeks.

Yeah, I suggested a 10 min mandatory concussion check for such things, but players would just find another way.

How do you define a proper head injury? That’d be where the ruling would fall down.

Simple solution, treat them on the pitch whilst the game goes on, they’d stop the cheating then.

It's inconceivable. The Haaland foul was worse but no booking.

The club really should press for an answer. It was just so clear and obvious. Akanji didn't even look like a foul.

I guess the reason they don’t is that the games is too fast and they could be in the way?

I’d be up for giving it a try.

On the money. One of my all-time favourite games is us versus Hull away in 2014, after Vin got sent off. Merlin and Edin just epic.

One of my favourites aswell, Merlin especially was unreal
