Pundit Micah Richards has blasted the offside call for Nottingham Forest\u2019s <\/a>disallowed goal against Fulham as \u201cabsolutely ridiculous\u201d.<\/p>\n Winger Dan Ndoye thought he had put the Reds on course for what would have been a huge win in Sunday\u2019s clash at the City Ground<\/a>. Brought on at half-time, the Switzerland international beat Bernd Leno with a fine finish just past the hour mark only for VAR to intervene.<\/p>\n Forest head coach Vitor Pereira admitted he had celebrated what he thought was a perfectly fine goal, but the review deemed Ndoye to have been offside by the finest of margins. It left the hosts having to settle for a 0-0 draw<\/a> and a point, rather than a victory that would have given them some breathing space in the relegation battle.<\/p>\n “This one here is absolutely ridiculous,\u201d Richards said as he reviewed the Ndoye<\/a> incident on Match of the Day.<\/a> \u201cIt is so tight.<\/p>\n JOIN US ON FACEBOOK!<\/strong> <\/strong>Get all the Nottingham Forest latest via our Facebook page<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n “The run, really good. Can he finish it? He finishes it and then it comes to this (the VAR review). It is just remarkable. It is so bad, but rules are rules.\u201d<\/p>\n Jamie Redknapp said on Sky Sports<\/a> of the same VAR decision: “This is as tight of an offside you could possibly get. This is where we don’t give advantage to the strikers. You see it, where has he got an advantage?<\/p>\n “It’s so tight. I couldn’t even tell. I looked at it 100 times.”<\/p>\n On X, the Premier League<\/a> Match Centre posted at the time: \u201c#NFOFUL \u2013 64\u2019 VAR OVERTURN: VAR checked the referee\u2019s call of goal \u2013 and established that Ndoye was in an offside position and recommended that the goal was disallowed.\u201d<\/p>\n Get breaking Forest news sent direct to your phone<\/p>\n Join our Nottingham Forest WhatsApp group and get the latest breaking news, interviews and opinion sent straight to your phone, plus matchday team news and live updates of all the action.
