Liverpool's 0-1 'shutout' at home to Nottingham Forest has caused a lot of controversy over referee enforcement. After the game, the forest class master Malenakis rushed down the player channel. "He even tried to break into the referee's office and was finally taken away by the stadium security. Forest's recently-employed 'referee consultant', Katon Paul, has also said that he will raise questions about the game's enforcement with the Professional Refereeing Magistrates' Organisation (PGMOL).
The game was played in 8 minutes of extra time, to the 96th minute the forest is the attacking side, but the referee Paulo Triani suddenly stopped the game to give Liverpool center Ibasi Maganadi treatment for head injuries, the French center also fight for the time to get up very quickly. However, after the restart of the match, the referee did not put the ball in the forest, but started the game with a wave of Liverpool's goalkeeper. Although the attack did not directly constitute an attacking wave, it deprived Forest of a final attacking opportunity, allowing Liverpool to counter-pressure Forest in the final stages and enter the last win.
After the game, Forest's owner Marlenakis was furious and rushed into the player's tunnel to make a fuss about the referee: "Respect the players! Respect the players! It's been like this for a week now! The Greek player tried to enter the referee's office, but was pulled away by the security guards. Forest's team leader Nuno said after the game, "Don't make me talk about the license. We should have been given the ball back, but it was Liverpool who got it, attacked and scored."
Forest have been the victims of a number of misjudgements this year, and the club hired former Premier League referee David Catenbaugh earlier in the year. "The example of the ball is very clear, if the ball is stopped due to an injury to a player, then the ball will have the right to the ball before it is stopped, which is Forest," Katumba said after the game. Paulo Triani doesn't let me ask questions, I'll ask PGMOL. Marinakis invested so much money in the team, it's normal to be angry about the loss".
