Nottingham Forest have been fined £75,000 by the FA after their furious backlash towards referee Paul Tierney following the last-gasp defeat to Liverpool earlier this month.
And assistant coach Steven Reid has been handed a two-game touchline ban and additional fined £5,000 for calling the official a “c***” on three occasions as Forest raged at full-time.
Players and staff were incensed by Darwin Nunez’s added time goal being allowed to stand because of a mistake made by Tierney a minute earlier. The referee wrongly gave Liverpool an uncontested drop ball following a stoppage for a head injury.
Reid denied that he behaved in an improper manner but Forest’s reaction was deemed a breach of Rule E20 by the three-person independent commission – making it the eighth occasion since 2018 that the club have been punished for falling foul of that specific regulation.
