Neville REACTS to Man Utd Cup drama and Forest VAR decisions 😤 | The Gary Neville Podcast 🎙️ 

Nice to see the Gary Neville podcast have a PGMOL spokesperson do the podcast this week

I’m a life long Man Utd fan. You are wrong Gary. Forest have every right to say what they did. You say the manager and Captain can complain at the end of the game but that’s rubbish. If they do they get slapped with a “bringing the game into disrepute” charge. Well done Forest for speaking up we’re all fed up with this rubbish.

Gary Neville talking about a game he hasnt seen on the Gary Neville Podcast. He should do movie reviews of films he hasnt seen.

PGMOL representative Gary Neville defends PGMOL.

If true, and the VAR official is a Luton fan, then Forest are simply highlighting how inept and amateurish the PGMOL are. Referees should declare the town they grew up in and the club they support ( if not the same ) and should never be allowed to officiate matches with said teams. Theres a reason the officials on the international stage are not from either of the two teams playing. It should be no different at national level for the same obvious reason. Instead of instantly bashing Forest, these joke pundits should adk the question "can we first confirm whether the VAR is from Luton or Luton FC fan?" The fact that isnt their first question destroys ANY credibility they think they had.

Saying Forest are grabbing defeat from victory makes no sense whatsoever - there is no victory to be had by being humble and keeping quiet, they don’t get anything back for that.

3:23 is one of the funniest noises i’ve ever heard a human being make.

Anyone in football would know that those were stone-cold penalties. Let alone having the luxury of VAR and seeing the replay and still not giving it, I think it's right to question the integrity of the people behind VAR. Totally agree with Forest's statement and see nothing wrong with it. Disappointed with Gary's corporate act and not seeing it as a football fan!

I don't get how Gary Neville just constantly defends the refs. Maybe Forest were a little out of line but I think they have every right to speak up, as did Liverpool. Liverpool may lose out on the league by 1 or 2 points, what happens then when they were basically denied 1-3 points by the refs in the game at Tottenham? I mentioned that because the PGMOL admitted defeat there but they also have valid complaints in the game vs Arsenal, vs Man City. There have been errors all season long all over the place, yet any time a team speaks out against it the media are saying that is wrong. No the refs deserve criticism, how else will needs be improved?

If Gary Neville is still saying that its apparently 'crossing a line' releasing a statement about Pgmol and I hear the same things from an opposition media network such as Simon Jordan on Talk Sport then I am definitely suspecting something is fishy..., The legacy media will never condemn the PGMOL

Gary refuses to admit that PGMOL is corrupt. It clearly is. We’ve seen examples the last 24 hours

Absolutely spineless from Gary here. Forrest are doing what most clubs in the league should’ve done months if not years ago. Finally there is at least ONE club in the country with some balls and that is trying to protect the beautiful game

We are dissapointed with you Gary. Why dont you speak out against these horrible decisions instead

Gary has been bought my the PGMOL. Gary Neville so far deep in Howards Webbs pocket.

not the most flattering thumbnail

Forest did the right thing. Other clubs should follow suit. It's the only way refs can be held accountable.

Gary, sympathy, and class are not points. Nottingham could get relegated because of these errors. They have substantially more decisions go against them this season. Should they just keep quiet and get relegated?

What a shocker Gary putting on his good boy trousers and backing PGMOL again. Grabbing defeat from victory? How? All season, terrible decisions are not to us, but all of the Prem and keeping quiet and respectful has done what? We've got a real possibility of going down, and the team fighting us has a referee in the VAR box. What is the justification of three blatant penalties decisions being wrong in the same game, Gary? It is absolutely shocking that with all this technology, more officials have a better understanding of the game our referee and PGMOL as a whole are far worse then they've ever been.

Can’t just be me who wishes we could go back to the 90s when football was class.

No way the PL could handle this so easier to discount,needs sorting , Forest were right

Forest has every right to do what they did. Gary cares more about the image rather than the actual poor refereeing week after week that are costing teams points. Respect to any club that calls out the PGMOL and any organization responsible

Absolutely nonsical to say forest lack class for calling something out. So basically they just need to roll over and take it? Not allowed to question bad decisions, no one is allowed apart from the big 6. They've had one penalty all season, just one, the 6 have had almost 50 combined. There is without a shadow of doubt decisions made in the Premier League with bias. If that was Liverpool or Arsenal and it cost them the league potentially, all hell would break loose. For forest it's a potential 3rd season in the premier league, so good on the club for coming out and calling BS when its clear BS. They'll probably get another points deduction now for speaking up. It's like a bloody dictatorship

The only entity bringing the game into disrepute are the PGMOL

People will give Gary grief for his views on PGMOL, but his take on the FA replays and the worrying power the primer league teams have is absolutely spot on.

Grow a back bone Gary and accept there is something going on here ....instead of fear mongering the club......

Teams are tired of the officiating. You may bemoan their complaint, but it does not make the complaint less valid. Facts hurt feelings.

Gary you've clearly not seen the amount of ridiculous decisions that have gone against Nottingham Forest. All clubs have decisions go against them, no doubt about that. But if the decisions Forest have faced have gone against a team like say Liverpool. Jurgens head would of exploded by February. Today Forest were denied 3 penalty shouts. 1 is fine but 3 isn't just incompetency, it's corruption! End of.

He doesn’t want to lose his sky paycheque, they’re all in on it

Can’t even trust them when there 3 nil up shocking

I assume Gary won’t ask why Graelish wasn’t a pen but AWB is.

As a completge neutral regarding the VAR decisions today, I thought all 3 were obvious penalties. Needs to be some serious investigations.

Got no problem with forest tweet. Would arsenal fans want a city fan as var ref when they play Chelsea? Furthermore the decisions in the game vs Everton were laughable and the implications could be 100m in lost revenue.

Gary said that it lacks class for them to say something, but at this point, anyone NOT saying it, including Gary Neville himself, lacks a spine. We all see it. We all think it. We all say it amongst ourselves. Forest had the fortitude to put it in writing. Good for them. Every team should be saying it (about their own games and every other game). You talk about the damage to the league from the changes to being made to competitions and how they're doing that...when the fans lose faith in the referees, the league is already lost and none of that other stuff will matter.

Whilst he's right that the club don't have options, they absolutely have to make a strong official statement, enough is enough and something with PGMOL has to change!

As a Derby fan, I thought 2 out of the 3 were penalties, i might not want to see Forest doing well, but if you have common sense, you don't want to see these things happen because if by some miracle Derby found themselves back in the prem, then this would happen to them too.

Gary talking absolute waffle about PGMOL.

Forest denied 3 (three) penalties

Let’s have this right, it’s in no way unreasonable to expect the premier league to do their due diligence and not have a known Luton fan involved in a game for Luton or the like with any other team, that should be standard practise

Regarding Nottingham Forrest - Gary Neville here is displaying a textbook case of pure victim blaming and it's wrong. Nottingham Forest have tried to be nice time after time but nothing has changed so now they are doing everything they can to get justice. They shouldn't be criticised for this desperation, the victim should be backed and applauded in this fight. Stop blaming the victim!

The fact that these media pundits make a big deal about what Forest SAID rather than what these referees are DOING week-in and week-out ruining the game shows that they don't have common sense and don't understand the core of the issue - i.e, the PGMOL is bringing English football into disrepute.

Let Forest speak out!

Toffee fan here... definitely 2 pens.....but Everton should have had about 6 or 7 this season....Var and Referees are shocking

Not sure if a public statement from a club is the way to go, but then what is the way to air concerns?! Not sure, but pundits not talking enough about fans concerns regarding officiating in terms of quality and more over a potential bias in terms of supporting a team is in many ways poor and lacking balance to an argument/discussion which is against what the media should stand for. An official with a declaration of an interest in a club should be treated the same as any other professional bias and avoided involvement if objectivity can be placed in question rightly or wrongly

I’m a Derby fan and would normally be happy to see our local rivals Forest lose. But in this case, the decisions were diabolical. 2 of the 3 penalty incidents were stonewall, and how VAR hasn’t overturned them I have no idea. So I completely back Forest for raising this so publicly. The decisions in this match alone could be the difference between staying up and relegation. Nothing will be achieved by just having a moan in a post match interview, which most managers seem to do nowadays anyway. Gary Neville is a good pundit but he has got it wrong here. Also, it is ironic that he is defending referees when he was part of a United team that were well known for squaring up and intimidating them in numbers during games in the late 90s.

I wasn't sure who was going to be on the Gary Neville podcast this week, pleased to see it's Gary Neville.

I don’t think Nottingham were accusing VAR of cheating, more that due to his support of Luton, an unconscious bias may have come out as a result would have effected his team.

Why does Gary strongly go against forest here? It’s almost like he’s getting paid by pgmol to stick up for them. Got well defensive when forest came out with the statement accusing the pgmol of cheating.

This over protection of refs is maddening, no one is holding then accountable anymore

Tweeting about it after a game is small time, but we wouldn't be talking about it at all if the officials could do their jobs at the required level.

the fact that not one of the penalty decisions was given is absolutely baffling to me. i understand if 1 or 2 werent given but all 3 like seriously? the last decision was a disgrace, like can anyone explain to me how that isnt a pen? 😂 he didnt get the ball and came from behind fouling the man. how is that not a pen hahahahha

Cov's 4th goal was onside, VAR failed again

The statement has 36 Million views on X. Gary, the world has moved on since you played. This is now a louder voice than the manager. Previously you talked about a ref coming into clubs at the start of the season to explain rule changes being sufficient in your day. Now the refs change their interpretation of the rules multiple times through the season (e.g. handball, sufficient contact, time wasting) so having a part-time ex-referee consultant makes sense to keep players updated. Also gives Forest legitimacy to make such statements.

I want to see Mark Goldbridge vs Gary Neville debate. It would be gigantic viewing numbers!

VAR has to go!

The home team should be able to choose where they play in the FA Cup to allow smaller teams a chance for a big away day payout

Mark Goldbridge is the new Alan Partridge.

Anyone else thinking Cloughy would have definitely pointed out the VAR was a Luton fan? 😂 (sorry Gary)

'They're grabbing defeat from victory' Oh yes, the victory of losing points and having nothing being done and everyone forgetting about it in a week.

I agree with Mr. Neville until he started talking about NFFC. They should yell louder and he should be yelling for them. The pgmol is making it impossible to watch football in England. The pgmol is incompetent and to victim shame nffc over such a travesty is shocking from Neville

Did he see the Coventry goal that was disallowed because they accidently drew the line on Wan Bassakas foot

A 20 minute interview isn’t a podcast

The refs & var pander to the highest bidder. lets not forget PGMOL allowed their refs to pop over to Abu Dhabi to ref a few games in the International break ! I wonder why the did that ? 115

There is no victory in losing games to terrible decisions, you sympathizing with Forest doesn't help them

As a United fan, I agree with Gary that the FA cup semi final replay against Arsenal was the best game from his period. It still is for me my favourite ever game. It had everything, such drama, sending off, last gasp penalty save and that wonder goal from Giggs. Victory from the jaws of defeat. The top game of many comeback games that season which ended with winning the treble. A season full of drama.

The difference between Liverpool offside and other decisions is that Liverpool actually scored a goal. There was no if they scored a penalty they legitimately scored a goal. That’s why it should of been replayed

Gary thinks everyone should just accept being screwed by refs every single week and say nothing… like Fergie and keane did in his day.

Neville cannot even pretend he’s not on the payroll. I can’t watch overlap anymore. He needs to know people can see him bending to his masters.

Welcome to the Gary Neville Rant Cast!

Michael Oliver needs investigated too

The fact none speaks about the last second Penalty call is unbelievable. How Greelish hand ball is not a penalty and wan Bisaka’s was a penalty . Not even a word on that .

Statements shouldn’t need to be put out… don’t attack the clubs for defending themselves simply call for far better officiating and accountability on bad decisions - we’re all fans of football at the end of the day

I love my Sunday evenings, especially when Gary Neville is special guest on the Gary Neville podcast.

Best team lost today well done Coventry city

I have supported Liverpool since I was 3 and I have always Man Utd, but Gary Neville is really amazing and I can listen to him always...he is amazing

Gary, Sky and every other broadcaster is paid off my the PGMOL. Take everything they say with a grain of salt

14:09 No Gary, the manager cannot speak out against the officiating at the end of the game, since said manager would get fined. Nice try though

Both Gary and Carra are incompetent analysts. Clearly the tweet from Forest implies they warned the PGMOL prior to the game however they are ignoring that part. A club with 115 charges is not being spoken about enough though.

I always enjoy watching Gary as i think he speaks a lot of sense, always has the the heart of football wanting to improve it

Well done forest you have to fight back, As a Liverpool fan and neutral, I watched the game yesterday.The first two penalty decisions were fifty fifty but the third one thats A spot on penalty, now given that there was 2 ruled out already Why don't you give the third one? That's very suspicious

Look at the amount of injuries that united have had this season and the changes in the ownership/background staff. No manager can work under this kind of instability and be successful.

Most of the top managers have not arrived yet. INEOS is moving very slow, They are nowhere to be seen and are leaving ETH on his own to face the mob. Several Manchester United players didn't show up on the pitch mentally today. Ahead 3 nil and they conceded. Other players performed poorly. Bruno and Maguire played their hearts out. Onana and Hojlund (who got no service again) played well as did Mainoo and Garnacho. Thank heavens for the young players!

Always good to see Gary Neville on the Gary Neville podcast

I love listening to Gary Neville very passionate about Football.

I think Gary is a fantastic comentator and pundit. I hope you keep it up Gary and become a legend in a another way 🤴

Clubs shouldn’t have to put up with how many bad decisions they are getting week in and week out. Taking about VAR every week. Managers and captains complaining clearly isn’t working

Cant wait for the next Overlap. See if Keane and Wrighty have the same opinions as Gary and Jamie. We all know for a fact if Man Utd vs Liverpool had a referee that supported either of them and there was 3 penalties not even checked for VAR they would be riots 😂bunch of jokers!

Gary did such a great job of calling out corporate corruption when speaking on that FA replay announcement no matter what way you feel about, should of had a democratic process with the clubs involved but the Forest shout is also along the same lines. You can call them classless but there have to be measures to stop bias in officials. Simply when they get their strips as a ref they should declare where they are from and who they support so action is taken accordingly when chooses what games they will oversee.

It's not about winning or losing a semi final, It's about being 3-0 up with 20 minutes left and still being lucky to beat Coventry

The referees need to be held accountable. I don't want to call corruption, so put the Luton fan story line to the side and this is still ANOTHER disgraceful refereeing performance. There is no excuse to have this many refereeing mistakes with VAR in the picture. The problem is that the referees get to have howlers like this, then go home and have a beer without having to justify their performance. When players or managers have stinkers, they have to come out in front of the press and apologise or justify themselves. The players and managers are held accountable when they make mistakes, why are referees not treated the same? The solution is easy too, there are two changes which will fix this. Firstly, give live broadcasters access to the communication between on field referee and VAR just like they have in rugby. Then we will have some clarity around why the referees have made the decisions. It is currently a black box and we're constantly asking ourselves HOW have the referees come to this conclusion?!?! This would help us answer that, whether we agree or not we will at least understand their point of view. Secondly, give the referees media duties just like players and managers do. When Pep doesn't play a DM against Chelsea in the CL final, the media get to ask why and Pep has to justify himself. He, and any other manager in a similar position, gets held accountable for the mistake. Because they are held accountable, they take more care with their decisions. How can we hold referees accountable? We need to get them into interviews after the game. Have them asked questions like: "You didn't give a penalty for this, why?". Referees knowing that they will be held accountable for their decisions should have them think twice when they're making them. No rushing into silly mistakes which have huge affects on the game and cause outrage every other week. The system as it is, simply isn't good enough and the fix isn't difficult. Do better. Hold yourselves accountable

Handball at everton looked very similar to coventry penalty different game different result go figure.

Brilliant Chat From One OF OUR GREAT MUFC Player ! i enjoyed this Gaz, !

Pundits ganging up on Forest like they did with Liverpool against Spurs. All part of the problem that fails to acknowledge issues with the officials.

Good to see Gary Neville in the Gary Neville podcast.

Really struggle to respect his opinion after his horrendous VAR comments. Imagine if it was about when he was almost chinning referees that were on Sir Alex’s payroll.

And lets not even talk about the refereeing standards... Oh wait, Neville and Carragher don't think there's anything wrong there

What is Gary on about Cloughie being all about class. He was widely known as the `king of bungs' on transfers and he several times punched and slapped fans. I think he was great, but `acting with class' - good grief.

I am starting to get disgusted with the greed in football. It's putting me off

Neville has obviously never heard of the phrase "Don't shoot the messenger". Forest are speaking what fans all across the country are.

If he is a Luton fan and didn't give 3 blatent pens, it's matchfixing no?

I wonder if pundits actually believe what they say when defending the PGMOL or if they get told to
