Crap Referees

Have a nice Christmas people. I'm forgetting football for a few days

I’ve always supported VAR, I think it’s the human error behind it that’s at fault usually, and there is a real problem with officiating in this country, lack of numbers lack of training. I read somewhere recently can’t remember where but the uk is short of a few 1000 refs.
But yesterday VAR itself was at fault, I mean how can it not tell if it’s in the box or not, it’s literally its job.

As for the sending off, seeing it in real time again and trying to take emotion out of it , I can sort of see why he gave it ( tin hat on)

Give over mate. You can't be defending that surely?

Was you at the game? I was in Upper Bridgford and everyone around me could see it was a perfect challenge. No mate. Not having that at all.

He is a cheating c**t. For 45 mins he was giving us absolutely nothing. It was embarrassing.

No I wasn’t there and if you say it was that obvious then I will take your word for it and in fairness the response on social media when it happened seemed to suggest my opinion is wrong. 
It’s just on the video I saw it didn’t seem that clear cut that it was bad decision, it seem like he caught him. 
But again I wasn’t there.

Is this clear enough for you?

Firstly not a hill I’m willing to die on, just an opinion. 
Not disputing he got the ball, but on the video I saw it did SEEM like he caught him afterwards. 
And the rage on social media seemed to suggest it was the worst most obvious mistake ever in football so maybe I was expecting something more. 
But as I’ve said I wasn’t there.

You can't stop the follow through, you can't stop the momentum.

That is why we need ex players on VAR duty, they understand these things.

...and competant officials!

Here is the Bournemouth player boot on top of Bolys ankle.......

Uncomfortable fact.

We have had more red cards go in our favour than against us this season. 4 in our favour.

We have failed to score a goal against 10 men in outfield play in all 4 of those games.

Were they justifiable reds? If they were I'm not seeing the relevance. Not meaning to be arsy about it. 

Talking about fairness in the game. 

There's no bringing any balance to this today. I can't believe what I witnessed yesterday.

I was making a wider point but people are too busy wailing about yesterday to hear it. Crap referees have been here long before VAR. The decisions usually even themselves out over a season.

Therefore when decisions go in our favour we need to exploit it and we clearly are not doing so.

[Tricky]

Its also the fact that the Bournemouth player actually stood on Boly's ankle, not the other way around, then the cheating bastard starts rolling around like he's been shot!!

Zero contact on their player, total contact on Boly. The foul shouldve been given to us for a late challenge.

As Sniffer has said, Rob Jones has spunked all over us twice now this season. He needs to be investigated

Nottingham Forest have written to Howard Webb to demand Rob Jones be suspended from officiating their matches following the referee’s blunder in sending off Willy Boly in the club’s 3-2 defeat against Bournemouth.

Telegraph Sport has been told that Webb, the head of Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL), has contacted new Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo to confirm Jones made a serious error in showing Boly a second yellow card in Saturday’s Premier League match at the City ground.

The club want Webb to go further, having already written to him this season to complain about a decision involving Jones, while they have also demanded any recording of the conversation between the referee and the Video Assistant Referee (Var) in relation to the incident, as well as that which saw them denied a penalty for a handball by Adam Smith.

Jones showed Boly a second yellow card in the 23rd minute of Saturday’s game despite the defender winning the ball cleanly before Smith appeared to tread on his ankle.

To compound the error, Boly will be suspended for Forest’s Boxing Day trip to Newcastle United as the laws of the game do not allow automatic bans incurred for second yellow cards to be overturned.

The club want answers on whether there had been any Var review of Saturday’s incident concerning whether Smith should have been shown a straight red card for treading on Boly.

They also want to know why a penalty was not awarded after the ball hit Smith’s hand when both his feet appeared to be inside the box, with his arm adjudged by Var to have been outside the area.

And they want Jones – who they allege defended his decision to send off Boly to Forest’s coaching staff at half-time of Saturday’s game – suspended from officiating them until all their concerns are addressed.

The Bournemouth defeat was Forest’s seventh match without a win and left them just two points off the relegation zone having played a game more than 18th-placed Luton Town, who beat Newcastle United that day.

The letter to Webb is the Midlands club’s second this season after they complained in August about the performance of referee Stuart Atwell and his officials in their 3-2 defeat at Manchester United. That game saw Atwell send off Forest captain Joe Worrall for a challenge on United captain Bruno Fernandes in the second half.

Jones was the Var that day and backed the decision by Atwell after Worrall was adjudged to have been the last man despite Boly appearing to be a covering defender.

United were also awarded a match-winning penalty when Danilo was deemed to have brought down Marcus Rashford, while the home side’s Scott McTominay was given just a yellow card for a kick towards the face of Cheikhou Kouyate.

Forest’s concerns over the performance of Attwell were understood to have stemmed from the official’s display in a Championship game against Bournemouth back in the 2021-22 season when a penalty decision went against former forward Sam Surridge after an incorrect offside call.

August’s game at Old Trafford was Attwell’s first Forest match since that fixture in May 2022.

The only realistic outcome will be that Jones is kept away from our games for a couple of months. I cant see how the guy can come to Nottingham any time soon.

Still angry about that c**t Rob Jones . Christmas day or not if i bumped into that wanker tomorrow he'd be losing teeth.

I'm the same mate. I forget about football, remember I'm a Forest fan then the memory of that f*****g charade yesterday creeps back in.

It totally done me. He's a c**t mate. An absolute f*****g cheating c**t.

[Sausage Roll]

Not that it makes any difference now, but apparently Howard Webb has contacted Forest to say that Jones made a serious error with Boly's second yellow card.
