      Furious Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis ‘removed by security after chasing ref Paul Tierney down tunnel’

      by

      NOTTINGHAM FOREST owner Evangelos Marinakis was allegedly removed by security after chasing referee Paul Tierney down the tunnel.An eye-witness, working for BBC 5 Live, claimed the incident happened immediately after Forest were controversially beaten 1-0 by Liverpool thanks to a 99th minute goal from Darwin Nunez. Evangelos Marinakis reportedly chased Paul Tierney down the tunnel on SaturdayCredit: AFPNottingham Forest were fuming after Liverpool scored a controversial late winnerCredit: AlamyA big call from Tierney resulted in Liverpool netting in the 99th minuteCredit: AFPLivid Marinakis, first-team coach Steven Reid and other staff confronted Tierney at the final whistle.Tierney sent off Reid, before the argument continued down the tunnel.Pitchside reporter Rob Schofield told 5 Live: “You rarely see scenes like that in the tunnel. Marinakis had to be removed by security.“We saw Reid getting frustrated and he and Marinakis pursued Tierney and Graham Scott all the way to the referee’s office.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL“They were yelling at them, ‘Respect the players, respect the players. This happens every week. Respect the players’.”Forest have insisted Marinakis was calm and had only a brief exchange with the referee and that security were not needed.The anger was sparked after Tierney handed the ball to Liverpool keeper Caoimhin Kelleher after stopping play over a head injury to Kop defender Ibrahima Konate.This was despite Forest star Callum Hudson-Odoi being in possession when the game was halted.Most read in FootballHOW TO GET FREE BETS ON FOOTBALLThe Premier League clash at the City Ground was as already deep into stoppage time, and heading for a goalless draw.That was until Nunez fired his glancing header beyond Mats Sels, well past the initial eight minutes of added time.Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool_ Nuno Espirito Santo press conference PAFurious Forest fans chanted “cheat” at Tierney as proceedings drew to a close.Speaking after the whistle, Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo raged: “I don’t want to speak about the referee.

But Liverpool got it, went upfield and scored.”Clattenburg continued: “The law is clear that if the ball is outside the  area, you get possession back.

      FA set to use FANS in trial of radical new countdown plan to stop goalkeepers time wasting

      by

      FANS in stadiums will be invited to join in a “five second countdown” before time-wasting goalkeepers give away a throw-in or a corner.The radical trial could be used in the EFL lower divisions or the Football League Trophy from next season after being backed by the game’s Law-making body the International FA Board.Refs will be encouraged to punish goalkeepers taking too long on goal kicksCredit: GettyWhile introducing sin-bins in professional football has gone on the backburner after a global backlash, Ifab chiefs, at their annual general meeting at Loch Lomond, believe their latest idea will help reduce time-wasting.The current six second rule, rarely punished, will be extended to eight seconds, but with referees then holding up their hands to count down to zero with five seconds left.FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said: “So many times we see the goalkeeper holding onto the ball for five or six seconds at 0-0 and then when they’re 1-0 up they suddenly hold it for 25 seconds.“That’s not right and people get frustrated.READ MORE ON FOOTBALL“Once the goalkeeper has got the ball under control, and the referee puts up his hand so that the five seconds gets counted down, you’ll see the crowd respond to that and the other players will.“In terms of how you give possession to the other team, the protocols being discussed are either a throw-in in line with the penalty spot or a corner.“There are pros and cons to both of them. They are still working that out but both will be trialled.”Other trials available from July 1 will see only captains allowed to speak to referees and the use of “cooling off periods” where feuding players would be ordered back to their respective penalty boxes until tempers calmed.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSPushed on whether that would see the discussions with the EFL and other leagues on introduction of any of the ideas next term, Bullingham added: “I’m sure we will.“We haven’t got to that point yet but I anticipate that some will be looked at lower levels of English football.’How is he our captain’ moan Man Utd fans as Bruno Fernandes spotted furiously arguing with referee after Fulham loss“What level we will look at is an open discussion, I’m sure we’ll get that discussion with the relevant leagues.“It’s clear that we’re not aiming at the top two leagues in any country. But we’ve got so many options in England.”The meeting took place hours after Fifa President Gianni Infantino gave a “red card to blue cards” as the way of signalling sin-bins.But Ifab chiefs insisted they are not turning their backs on the sin-bin principle – although it will be purely for dissent and not, as previously suggested, cynical “action football action” fouls.Trials at grass roots levels will continue ahead of possible future extension.Bullingham added: “We’ve focused on the area that is more straightforward, which is dissent and encouraging referees to come into the game.“It’s something that affects 90 per cent of the game at all levels.“The cynical foul aspect is a subjective one and that potentially makes applying it harder. Let’s get sin-bins right first and then see if there is a broader application.”Changes for next season will see the option of permanent concussion substitutions written into the Laws as well as red cards for penalty box defensive handballs which deny scoring chances.READ MORE SUN STORIESThe Premier League and PFA have called for a trial of temporary concussion replacements and Bullingham conceded: “Permanent substitutions is a positive and there are medics who say that means there is no risk of an injured player being sent back on the pitch.“We operate in an environment where different opinions are aired. English football does think temporary substitutions is worth being trialled at some point but we’ve made big steps forward.” More

      Luton 2 Aston Villa 3: Super-sub Lucas Digne boosts Villans’ top four hopes after they threw away two-goal lead

      by

      OLLIE WATKINS scored twice to seal his best ever Premier League scoring season but Unai Emery was bailed out by two of his substitutes.Villa striker Watkins grabbed goals no 15 and 16 in this impressive to leapfrog Mo Salah and move within one-goal of 17-goal Erling Haaland.Lucas Digne’s late goal spared Villa’s blushes after a stunning Luton comebackCredit: GettyThe Hatters had managed to fight back from 2-0 down but couldn’t hold outCredit: ReutersYet remarkably, showing they will not go down this season without a bloody huge fight, Luton pulled themselves back into the match by capitalising on some poor Villa defending with Tahith Chong and Carlton Morris both scoring inside six minutes.Yet Emery, knowing his team appeared to be on a suicide mission to lose this game, made FOUR subs in the 79th minute.These included Moussa Diaby and Lucas Digne and in the 89th minute, Villa grabbed the winner which sees them remain in a strong position in the top four.Digne had not scored in the Premier League since November 2022 yet he met Diaby’s cross at the far post and it could prove to be a huge moment in what is turning out to be a terrific season for Villa.As for Luton, this was gut-wrenching and a fifth successive loss in all competitions. At the end, the team was applauded off the pitch but Rob Edwards’ team, who have been so impressive this season, need to start picking up results again.In contrast, Villa go into Thursday’s Europa League visit to Ajax on the back of three successive League wins but they cannot afford lapses in concentration like displayed midway inside the second half.But with Watkins in terrific form, and he has beaten last season’s record of 15 Premier League goals, they have a chance.With Harry Kane moving to Bayern Munich and Ivan Toney serving his betting ban, you would not have put much money on an Englishman appearing at the top of the scoring charts.The stats show just how close the match was in the end – despite Villa cruising at half-timeCredit: The SunOllie Watkins’s double will have done his hopes of a spot in the Euro 2024 squad no harm at allCredit: PABEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSWatkins couldn’t actually beat Haaland, could he? Well, probably not. Yet the fact he is playing with such freedom and confidence – he has also delivered 10 assists – is not only good news for Emery but for Gareth Southgate.When Watkins put Villa in command in the first half, the only question was whether he would leave with the match ball.The momentum tells the story of a topsy turvy gameCredit: The SunLuton keeper Thomas Kaminski will have been mightily relieved to have been given the night off on Tuesday when his no 2, Tim Krul, had six goals stuck past him by Manchester City in the FA Cup fifth round.Kaminski made a couple of decent saves to keep out efforts from Jacob Ramsey and Watkins but Luton’s third clean sheet never seemed a possibility.And Watkins was left completely unmarked to score with a near-post header from Leon Bailey’s corner.Watkins fired a shot against the post and then and then thought he had been denied a second by the linesman’s flag.Full marks to Douglas Luiz for having the intelligence to catch out Luton by floating a quickly-taken free-kick over the top of the home side’s square defence.Watkins took a touch before burying the ball into the bottom right corner and while he initially looked up to the sky in disappointment, his mood soon changed when, after a quick VAR check, it was obvious that he was being played onside on the other side of the pitch by sub Chiedozie Ogbene.The striker hit a double, taking his tally in the Premier League to 15 this seasonCredit: RexTahith Chong spurred on Luton’s comebackCredit: RexBefore Morris equalised, but the hope of a point against fourth placed Villa proved to be short-livedCredit: RexYet Luton once again proved they have some cajones and they were rewarded for their persistence by scoring twice to put themselves in a position to win the game.After Matty Cash blocked a header by Reece Burke on the line, Chong scrambled the ball over the line.And while Emery will have been disappointed with the fact his side failed to clear Alfie Doughty’s corner, he will have been livid with the second.Villa’s players seemed to just stand and admire Doughty’s free-kick over to the far post and Morris delivered that great finish by sweeping the ball past Emi Martinez.Emery made those four changes in the 79th minute and with Luton on their knees, Digne ended up the unlikely hero with just a minute left.Watkins’ stats have been so impressive this seasonCredit: The SunRelive how it all happened at Kenilworth Road… More

      Chelsea ratings: Malo Gusto is full of energy but on the other flank Chilwell struggles at both ends of the pitch

      AXEL DISASI spared Mauricio Pochettino’s blushes as his late header rescued a point at Brentford.Chelsea fans had turned on the board and manager after goals from Mads Roerslev and Yoane Wissa had the Bees ahead having recovered from Nicolas Jackson’s header.Axel Disasi saved a precious point for Chelsea against BrentfordCredit: PABrentford almost handed Chelsea another miserable defeatCredit: AlamyMalo Gusto stood out for Chelsea against BrentfordCredit: ReutersBut Disasi rode to the rescue, crashing his header home at the far post to avoid another Chelsea catastrophe.After a couple of first-half howlers, Jackson redeemed himself to bag the opener for the Blues.The striker rose highest to guide a wonderful Malo Gusto cross home with a well-placed header.Chelsea looked to be coasting towards another London derby victory after the goal, but were knocked back early in the second half as Roerslev equalised for the hosts.Read More on FootballThe Blues struggled to regain their hold on the game and collectively switched off to allow Wissa to score his stunner.Levi Colwill did his best to clear Sergio Reguilon’s cross but his headed clearance fell to Frank Onyeka, who flicked it up for Wissa to fire home with a bicycle kick.Chelsea looked to be heading for another disaster as fans turned toxic, but the introduction of Raheem Sterling got the Blues back on the front foot and he won a corner from which Disasi powered home an equaliser.But who stood out and who disappointed?

First he accidentally backheeled the ball when trying to do step-overs before managing to hit the only Brentford defender on the line after rounding goalkeeper Mark Flekken.But he put the two errors to bed with an impressive header from Gusto’s cross.Very quiet performance in the second half.READ MORE SUN STORIESSubstitutesMykhailo Mudryk (on for Fernandez, 71’) – 6Sent on to play in behind the front two of Palmer and Jackson and, despite it not being his natural position, combined well with Sterling.Raheem Sterling (on for Colwill, 79’) – 7Added some much-needed threat out wide after being introduced, won the corner from which Chelsea equalised and almost scored a winner himself minutes later.Chelsea ace Ben Chilwell struggled at BrentfordCredit: RexHow Chelsea’s players lined up throughout gameGusto put together an incredible performance down the right flank More

      Brentford 2 Chelsea 2: Disasi equalises late after Wissa bicycle kick but dropped points pile pressure on Pochettino

      by

      IS THIS the day that Chelsea fans finally called time on Mauricio Pochettino?Moments after Yoane Wissa scored an overhead kick to complete Brentford’s comeback in the 69th minute, the away end at the Gtech Stadium began a chorus of chants with huge potential ramifications.Yoane Wissa produced a spectacular overhead kickCredit: PAMauricio Pochettino was clearly not feeling comfortable in West LondonCredit: RexFirst, they hailed their old owner Roman Abramovich, before turning on Todd Boehly, the American billionaire currently in the Stamford Bridge hotseat. “Boehly, you’re a c***”, they sang.And then, for the first time since he took over last summer, they took aim at Pochettino – the man they briefly believed could fix this mess and take them back to former glories.“F**k off Mauricio” were the cries, and to rub more salt into the wounds of the struggling Argentine coach, a rendition of “Jose Mourinho” filled the air.It seems the Chelsea supporters have produced their verdict. Another poor result in an abysmal season that sees them 16 points off the top four, 16 points off the bottom three.Axel Disasi’s late equaliser almost seemed irrelevant. Those chants cannot be unheard.When these West Londoners turn on you, it very rarely ends well. To come back from this will need a miraculous turnaround that right now looks a million miles away.In truth, the doubts over Poch began before kick-off with the announcement of the team news suggesting Chelsea would match Brentford with a 3-5-2 formation.In short, Poch had decided that Chelsea would not be playing on their own terms, instead adapting to a side that had lost ten of their last 12 Prem outings and fielding just two attack-minded players in Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSThat decision backfired, just like in extra-time of the Carabao Cup final, one that culminated in Virgil van Dijk’s winning header for Liverpool in the 118th minute and Gary Neville coining the phrase ‘Blue Billion pound bottle-jobs’.With Poch’s influence and decision-making, they fell apart against Klopp’s kids, and they struggled for large periods to do it against a club fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table.Chelsea’s ‘billion pound bottle jobs’ MUST stick with PochettinoSince when did Chelsea accept their fate like this? Where is the confidence, the self-belief, the arrogance to turn up and play to win, instead of playing not to lose?It smacks of a team and a manager that is scared right now. Scared to be themselves. Scared to take risks. Scared of what will happen after another bad result.The days of Chelsea being an imposing powerhouse look to be well in the past. They are passive, predictable – everything Pochettino previously would not stand for.Chelsea’s start was tepid, struggling with the match-up in formation that rid them of any width or pace, with Jackson and Palmer isolated up top.Brentford were caught napping from the off last weekend at the London Stadium, conceding twice in the opening seven minutes in their 4-2 defeat at West Ham.Not today – the Bees could smell the hesitancy from Poch’s men.Ivan Toney’s volley at the back post was blocked by Ben Chilwell and Wissa’s curling effort went just wide after Moises Caicedo was stripped of the ball inside his own half.Nicolas Jackson broke the deadlock on 35 minutesCredit: GettyJackson shushed the home fans before the turnaroundCredit: PAMads Roerslev pounced to poke home an equaliserCredit: PARoerslev and Sergio Reguilon roared in delightCredit: PAPochettino’s men were drowning in their hesitancy, summed up as Jackson was played in by Enzo Fernandez and rounded the keeper only to hit a shot so weak and lacking in any conviction that Zanka was able to get back and clear off the line.Five minutes later, the Senegalese international redeemed himself with an accurate header into the bottom corner from Malo Gusto’s cross.Chelsea hobbled into the break with a lead they arguably did not deserve, but got what was coming to them in the 50th minute.Toney raced in behind and delivered a looping ball that Disasi and Gusto did not deal with. Sergio Reguilon’s shot was blocked and Roerslev reacted first to tap in the extras.The Bees were fired up, while the visitors went into hiding. Vitaly Janelt smacked the post in a danger shot to Chelsea before Wissa’s spectacular acrobatic finish beat Djordje Petrovic all ends up.READ MORE SUN STORIESChelsea got their equaliser in the 83rd minute, but at what cost?
