An unusual episode marked the game between Nottingham Forest and Southampton. After the match referee consulted the VAR monitor to review a controversial move, a group of fans tried to bribe him in an unusual way.
While the referee analyzed the images next to the screen, some fans showed credit cards to the field, in a clear attempt to mock and pressure the decision. The scene was captured on camera and quickly went viral on social media, with many commenting on the “theatre” that surrounded the gesture.
The fans tried but the referee didn’t pay attention 😂

Despite the comical moment, the referee maintained his stance and continued with the decision based on the VAR review, completely ignoring the provocation.
