Nottingham Forest SUE Sky Sports over Gary Neville’s ‘mafia gang’ comments in now-deleted post ...

NOTTINGHAM FOREST have launched legal action against Sky Sports after the broadcaster’s coverage of a social media post questioning a match official’s appointment.After the final whistle, Forest's official Twitter account posted: “Three extremely poor decisions - three penalties not given - which we simply cannot accept.

That led Neville to liken the statement to something a mafia gang would put out, which we revealed led toappeared to backtrack on comments calling for former referee Mark Clattenburg to resign from his role at the City Ground following the controversial statement”.However, the Mail says “Sky Sports insist the decision to withdraw the piece was purely an editorial decision and not related to any ongoing legal matter”.

“If he saw those words go out which question the integrity of a referee and claims someone is a cheat for supporting another club then he's supporting what is being said. “And some of those things they're saying in there, the suggestion of some sort of inferring of cheating because there's an official in VAR in Stockley Park who's a Luton fan is a scandal, and they will pay for that.”

"We warned the PGMOL that the VAR is a Luton fan before the game but they didn’t change him. Our patience has been tested multiple times.On Monday the club revealed they have requested the PGMOL release the audio recordings between officials during the match.
