OMG: PL makes another brutal penalty against Forest Amid Nuno’s three Match Ban not only the Punishment…. This will actually get N’Forest brilliant run off guard against Crystal Palace

Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has called for more communication with referees during matches, following his recent sanction from the Football Association.

Forest have faced multiple penalties from the FA recently, including three fines in the past week. Nuno himself received a three-game touchline ban and a £55,000 fine after an incident during the match against Brighton & Hove Albion in September. As a result, he will be absent for Forest’s upcoming games against Crystal Palace on Monday, as well as fixtures against Leicester City and West Ham United.

Nuno expressed that, in previous years, there was better communication and mutual understanding with officials. He believes referees should show greater awareness of the emotions involved in football.

He said, “The feeling in the club is that we want to trust that everything is fair, and we accept the sanction. We are not law enforcement. In a high-tension game like football, there used to be more dialogue in the past. During heated moments, there was conversation, and that’s missing now, especially from the referees’ side in understanding the emotions of players and managers. I’ve been in the game for a while, and I remember more dialogue before.”

Forest’s Monday fixture has given the team an extended break, although Leicester City will have two more days to rest ahead of their match on Friday. Despite this, Nuno has no issue with the scheduling.

He commented, “We’re coming off the international break and playing on Monday, so we do have an advantage in that sense. But then we’ll have two days less rest before facing Leicester. Still, three days is enough for recovery, and the players will manage.”

Forest will also be missing other key figures on Monday. Morgan Gibbs-White and James Ward-Prowse are suspended, while owner Evangelos Marinakis has been handed a five-match stadium ban, though the club has appealed the decision.

In addition, Forest were fined £750,000 for a social media post following their defeat to Everton last season, and while Gibbs-White has received a one-match suspension and a £20,000 fine for his red card against Brighton, the club intends to appeal these penalties as well.
