The question of whether we should in someway support Forest in calling-out VAR is moot imo. All clubs should be calling-out the system that is currently in place as it doesn't work and takes joy and emotion out of the sport. All clubs, including the Sky 6 have had VAR decisions go against them, often incorrectly or the "clear and obvious" get out clause.
Surely, the concept of VAR; to get ALL major decisions correct, is one that all clubs should support, so long as it's in a timely fashion and doesn't suck the emotion of goalscoring out of the game. Unfortunately, generally clubs are not speaking out loudly enough. We only hear from the likes of Wolves, Liverpool and Forest immediately after big, obvious issues. It then all goes quiet until the next one.
Until all clubs start complaining and demanding change, the system will continue.
FWIW, I've only seen the Forest 'issues' very briefly as I didn't watch the match over the weekend and only thought the third one, where Young went through the back of CHO was a penalty. In that case, Everton would have still won the match.
