Nottingham Forest have asked for the VAR audio as they consider making a formal complaint following the defeat by Manchester City. The club are extremely unhappy with referee Rob Jones' decisions during Saturday's 2-1 loss at the City Ground. "Such an easy game to referee, in my opinion, such an easy decision for VAR," Dyche said on Saturday. Forest players complained to referee Jones, arguing Gibbs-White had been pushed by Nico O'Reilly while defending a corner and therefore stopped from blocking Cherki's winner. The PGMOL has previously played audio privately to clubs - including Forest - while PGMOL chief refereeing officer Howard Webb also discusses incidents on the Mic'd Up programme.
