News about Neco Williams

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo and defender Neco Williams have been charged with improper conduct by the FA over comments made after their defeat against Everton. Forest have been hampered in their bid to avoid relegation this season by a host of questionable refereeing decisions and felt wronged against Everton after being denied multiple penalty claims.

Forest have been in the eye of the storm this week after appearing to question the integrity of VAR Stuart Attwell in an extraordinary post on X, after three penalty appeals were turned down as Forest lost 2-0 to fellow strugglers Everton last weekend. Nuno (bottom left) called the use of video technology 'a mess' and urged referees to take greater responsibility for their on-field decisions.

MATT HUGHES:Referees' chief Howard Webb will hold peace talks with Nottingham Forest's owners this week at which the VAR audio of their three penalty appeals in Sunday's controversial defeat at Everton will be played to the club.  Forest requested access to referee Anthony Taylor's conversations with VAR Stuart Atwell earlier this week after criticising the latter's appointment for the game at Goodison Park on the grounds that he is a "Luton fan," with refereeing body PGMOL happy to oblige. PGMOL's protocol is to make VAR audio available to any club that requests it, with Webb understood to be planning to play the recordings to Forest in an online meeting this week before their next game against Manchester City on Sunday. 

EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: Nottingham Forest will be sent recordings of conversations between referee Anthony Taylor and VAR Stuart Attwell from their defeat by Everton by PGMOL over the next few days, and the audio could be broadcast publicly when the next Referees Mic'd Up programme airs next week.  Mail Sport has learned that one of Forest's three penalty appeals which were not referred to VAR by Taylor is likely to feature in next week's show, in which PGMOL chief Howard Webb and Michael Owen analyse recent refereeing decisions in the Premier League. Forest demanded that audio recordings of the three incidents be made public in a series of extraordinary statements released on Monday, which could see the club, manager Nuno Espirito Santos, defender Neco Williams and refereeing consultant Mark Clattenburg all charged by the FA. 

The Football Assoication have 'formally requested observations' from Nottingham Forest - and Mark Clattenburg - following the explosive row over three penalties that were not given during their crunch clash at Everton. Following what could be a significant 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park, Forest stunned the football world when a message posted on their 'X' account claimed VAR Stuart Atwell was a fan of relegation battlers Luton Town. The visitors had seen three appeals for penalties turned down by referee Anthony Taylor with the decisions endorsed by Atwell at Stockley Park.

IVAN SPECK AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Tottenham Hotspur HOTSPUR STADIUM: Tottenham Hotspur's victory over Nottingham Forest 3-1 on Sunday and promoted Aston Villa to fourth place. As Ange Postecoglou celebrated another triumph, Mail Sport's Ivan Speck gives his player ratings from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST 3-1 FULHAM - JOE BERNSTEIN AT THE CITY GROUND: Nottingham Forest earned their biggest victory of the season on Tuesday, with Morgan Gibbs-White as the catalyst, noting the formula to climb from the bottom three. In a tumultuous first half for Forest that had been defeated 5-0 by Fulham earlier this season, Gibbs-White assisted and scored. Forest made a joke of their recent run of one victory in 13 games in all competitions, even though their opponents had scored ten goals in four games, starting the evening out of the relegation zone solely on goal difference.

IN CARDIFF, IAN HERBERT. Rob Page was incredibly upbeat in the face of defeat, as usual. 'All's fine.' Everything's great,' he said of his friendship with some of his Wales FA bosses, who less than six months ago, said his deal will be reviewed if the country did not qualify for the European Championships automatically. Following the shootout loss to Poland, the country hasn't qualified for the European Championships at all. And though Page painted a picture of himself as a central character in the forthcoming sequel, he has some troubling questions to answer about his game's administration today.

Wales came one step closer to Euro 2024 on Thursday night with a 4-1 win over Finland in their play-off semi-finals. On a chilly night in Cardiff, Rob Page's side, who are aiming for their third straight European Championships, was up to the challenge. On Tuesday, the team will face Poland, with the winner of that crunch game likely to be promoted to Group D alongside Netherlands, Austria, and France at the tournament in Germany this summer.

Nuno Espirito Santo demanded to know 'why always us?' Following Nottingham Forest's 1-0 loss at Brighton on Sunday, he yelled at them repeatedly being on the brink of refereeing mistakes. After Seagulls midfielder Jakub Moder left with just a ticket for a studs-up lunge on Neco Williams, forest boss Nuno bemoaned the quality of Premier League officiating. The Portuguese are fed up of being the recipient of a string of high-profile incidents involving his relegation-threatened side.

The £272 million, up £25 million from off-field earnings, was Liverpool's highest income stream in 2022-23, but a year after winning the final, the television money decreased by £19 million to £242 million. Matchday's earnings dropped by £7 million due to fewer games being played during the 2013 season, the club's first campaign saw them win both domestic and tournament finals.

MARK CLATTENBURG: Evangelos Marinakis was already familiar with him from my time with the Greek Football Federation, where I was in charge of the Greek Super League's referees. He is a huge football fan, as well as Rio Ave in Portugal and Nottingham Forest in England, and someone who will leave no stone unturned in trying to ensure his clubs are profitable. Marinakis called me last week to inquire about a job.

Clattenburg, who retired from officiating in 2017, has most recently appeared in the BBC TV show Gladiators but will now work on a consultancy basis with Nuno Espirito Santo's side. On Saturday, the Mail Sport columnist was in the director's box at Forest's match against West Ham, as well as club founder Evangelos Marinakis. Forest has been the subject of some contentious officiating decisions this season and has recruited Clattenburg with the intention of improving their knowledge and friendships.

Wales will face Finland in the Euro 2024 Path A semi-finals in Germany next year, and it could face either Poland or Estonia in the finals. Rob Page's side had a rough qualifying campaign, with them ceded ground to Tukery and Armenia and finishing outside of the official qualifying places. In late March of next year, the two teams will meet in Wales.

During Turkey's 1-1 draw with Wales on Tuesday night, the Pundits blasted the 'weak' penalty. Following the result in Cardiff, Robert Page's team will qualify for the Euro 2024 play-offs, finishing third in their qualifying group, four points behind Croatia. After Neco Williams' early strike before Turkey drew level in turbulent fashion in the second half, the hosts had a lead on the night.

WALES 1-1 TURKEY TURKEY TOM COLLOMOSSE AT CARDIFF CITY STADIUM: Despite a disappointing start to Wales' qualifying campaign, Bullish Rob Page backed Wales to win Euro 2024 via the play-offs. Wales knew six points would be enough to guarantee a spot in Germany next year. But ties with Armenia and Turkey on Tuesday, in which they were denied at least one clear penalty by Slovenian referee Matej Jug, meant Croatia defeated them to second position and Page's men defeated Finland, Iceland, or Ukraine in a play-off next March. Wales will face Poland or Estonia at a location to be determined if you win.

Leroy Sane, a Bayern Munich player, was dismissed after arguing an opponent in the face. Sane, 27, played just 49 minutes of Germany's match against Austria, which they eventually lost 2-0, after his ferocious outburst at the start of the second half. Sane is seen following back, before clipping Philipp Mwene's heels in a video that appeared on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The first international break of the new season is here, but Premier League players will not be given any time for rest and relaxation as they represent their respective nations. Any English top-flight player is residing in the United Kingdom, and the air miles are racking up for people traveling around the world to compete in international tournaments. When the Premier League returns, players will be able to travel for shorter trips abroad for European Championship qualifiers against Ukraine and Scotland, but others will have to face long-haul flights that could cause wreak havoc on their body clocks.

Neco Williams, a Nottingham Forest defender, is 'gutted' that he will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a fractured jaw in his team's 3-1 victory over Brighton. Forest gained their first victory in a dozen games on Wednesday to prevent relegation, and they moved one point above the Premier League bottom three after seeing off the Seagulls. However, victory came at a price: Williams sustained a serious blow after an accidental collision with teammate Brennan Johnson.

AT ANFIELD: DOMINIC KING Diogo Jota is recovering from a missed moment after his double against Nottingham Forest that made it four goals in six days after a year-long barren spell. However, the 3-2 victory was marred with defensive mistakes, and after the visitors were able to equalize twice through former Reds defender Neco Williams and Morgan Gibbs-White, it was still needed Mohamed Salah's solid left boot to win. Until that moment, Liverpool's rise to within six points of fourth-placed Newcastle was almost complete, but the crossbar refused to allow them.

Jurgen Klopp did not give away that he thinks Liverpool will make the top four this season after being forced to work hard during their 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest. After a tumultuous first half, Diogo Jota opened the scoring right after the break, but Neco Williams' thumping attempt had him canceling his header just four minutes later. The Portuguese forward was back soon after, delivering a dramatic finish in the bottom right corner to take the lead again for the home team, but Forest weren't laying down just yet, with Morgan Gibbs-white thumping past Allison in net for the 67th minute.

CHRIS WHEELER AT OLD TRAFFORD: So, Manchester United will meet Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium three weeks on Sunday, as if there was ever in a serious doubt last night. A good final between two clubs for whom winning this trophy will mean a lot. Newcastle fans don't need to remind that their club hasn't won a major domestic title in 68 years. The drought is only six years for Manchester United, but it still feels far too long for a club of this size. A trophy isn't only long overdue for United, but it's also vital in terms of proving Erik ten Hag's work since he took over at Old Trafford in the summer.
