Nos dijeron que no podíamos ir. For indirect style, verbs of communication do not use subjunctive even if there is a change of subject. That is the role. Exception is, if it is an order, then verbs of com use subjunctive. Me dijo que le pidiera un café.
verbs of communication like, decir, afirmar, explicar, contar, informar, etc. see rules / regs binder for more details.
