The statement from Sky said: “In response to a Nottingham Forest statement outlining their grievances with PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited) following their match with Everton on 21 April, Gary Neville, commenting on Super Sunday, strongly criticised Nottingham Forest’s approach.
“Sky Sports have discussed with Gary the language used and its potential to cause offence. Gary has agreed not to use the same or similar terms in future coverage. Sky Sports apologises to Nottingham Forest for any offence caused by this language.”
Responding to the X post by Forest, Neville had said: “It’s like a mafia gang statement. I mean, honestly, what the hell are they playing at?
“It’s like a petulant child, it’s embarrassing. And some of those things they’re saying in there, the suggestion of some sort of inferring of cheating because there’s an official in VAR in Stockley Park who’s a Luton fan is a scandal, and they will pay for that.
