  1. Generally accepted by the referees that have seen it that Dias should 100% have got a second yellow for bringing down Jesus for the umpteenth time. It’s not really up for debate – it’s as clear as you will see.

    The refs generally seem to put the blame on MGW for the goal, I’m not as convinced but will accept that.

    Bottling the red card changed the game. They scored within 2 mins

    We’ve had a few really bad ones this season, although nothing like the absolutely outrageous decisions of 23/24 that just so happened to coincide completely with our being charged by the PL and losing our appeal- after which refereeing standards seemed to magically return to normal

  2. We’re just pissing in the wind with this.

    Complete waste of time that just makes us look like sore losers again no matter what the merit of the complaint is

  3. Hard to quantify this, but it seems like city never ever get big, somewhat marginal calls like this go against them. Interested in hearing if I’m wrong, and if your example is the rashford one don’t bother, it was 2 years ago

  4. every team should complain about officiating constantly tbh

    that said, was Dyche moaning about the MGW incident from the corner? he was saying something about how obvious a certain decision was… if it was that one then imo was very clear that he was not fouled at all, if anything shoulda been booked himself for simulation

  5. Tbh this one was absolutely baffling.

    All I can think is the ref personally did not want to send him off, but thats utterly absurd and completely unfair.

    He committed a text book yellow card offence and was already on a yellow card, I would be interested to hear the official explanation as I genuinely cant see anything thst makes sense.

  6. Typical Dyche tactic of lumping it up to the big man who dives, winning free kicks in dangerous areas. He’s been doing it since Burnley and its still working for him. So the bitterness to cry about referees when his teams dive more than most is unreal.

  7. Is there ever going to be a year where Forest don’t lodge some kind of complaint? Last year it was claiming that the officials favored Luton Town.

    PGMOL can hold their hands up and say ‘yes Ref got it wrong, oooops, sorry!’ But Forest aren’t going to be awarded the points.

    Yes, refs mistakes do need calling out, only way they’re going to learn. Every team has had mistakes against them and have lodged complaints, but it never changes the end result.

    I haven’t seen the incident but it can’t be worse than the one in the Newcastle -Chelsea game how that wasn’t given after gng to VAR was inexcusable..

  10. All teams make complaints, why does it keep being news and why do rival fans act like *insert team here* are the only ones to do
