Stuart Attwell chosen for Euro 2024 VAR duty as Nottingham Forest suffer further humiliation after bizarre statement
STUART ATTWELL has been chosen for VAR duty at Euro 2024 this summer.
The referee is currently under scrutiny following Nottingham Forest’s defeat at Everton on Sunday.
The official was working on VAR and the relegation club claimed that they were denied three clear penalties.
One was for a possible handball on Ashley Young, while the other two incidents also involved the former Manchester United star.
In the first half, he clipped Giovanni Reyna in the box, and in the second half, he hauled down Callum Hudson-Odoi.
As a response, Nottingham Forest released a statement slamming his appointment for the match as a “Luton fan”.
They have since demanded that the conversations between referee Antony Taylor and Attwell be made public.
While the FA have announced that they want urgent explanations from manager Nuno Espirito Santo, Neco Williams and ex-Prem whistler Mark Clattenburg.
Despite the ongoing feud, Attwell will be in Germany this summer for the Euros.
He and fellow Brit David Coote have both been selected for VAR duty for the tournament.
