The Bees striker was sent off by referee Stuart Attwell for an apparent elbow in Saturday's game against Notts County.[LNB]An FA appeal panel rejected Brentford's protest leading to accusations from chairman Greg Dyke that they were protecting the controversial referee. Now Scott has revealed his damning verdict.[LNB]"We sent them the DVD, which showed clearly what happened and the referee's poor decision in relation to it all," he told the Hounslow Chronicle. "But they rejected it, and we don't feel it's a just decision. Nathan is distraught and now we'll be without him for four games.[LNB]"Have I lost faith in the system? I'm not sure I had any faith in it in the first place, Questions would start being asked of referees if too many appeals were overturned.[LNB]"This ref in particular has had enough problems as it is, and not overturning Nathan's appeal has saved him from an investigation."[LNB][LNB]
