'Rubbish decision': Nottingham Forest fans unhappy with call that ends Jack Colback loan

Nottingham Forest are looking to end a sequence of three consecutive defeats in their trip to Sheffield United today but it has been a tough start.

Martin O'Neill's side have limited the chances that the promotion-chasing Blades have created but have struggled to create anything of note at the other end.

There was one major talking point though, as Jack Colback surged down the left side and went down under a challenge from the defender in the area - but the referee was not interested in his penalty appeals.

Instead, Colback was booked for the 15th time this season and it is a significant one as the Newcastle United loanee will now be suspended for the three remaining games this season, although fans are furious as they believe the referee's decision was incorrect.
