Nottingham Forest fans explode as 'shocking' Morgan Gibbs-White clip emerges

Nottingham Forest fans are incensed after Morgan Gibbs-White was sent off during their draw with Brighton as footage emerged on social media.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side fought to keep their unbeaten run going at the AMEX as goals from Chris Wood and Ramon Sosa cancelled out those from Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck.

However, the game ended with plenty of controversy as Gibbs-White, Nuno, and Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler were all sent off following a heated clash in the 83rd minute.

A strong challenge from the Forest midfielder resulted in an eventual second yellow card, despite referee Rob Jones signalling that he won the ball in the tackle.

Anthony Taylor, the game’s fourth official, was also heavily involved in the aftermath, and fans have speculated that it was he who recommended the dismissal.

Replays showed that Gibbs-White won the ball despite the force in the challenge, leaving supporters raging at his sending-off.

This has come just one day after Manchester United star Lisandro Martinez avoided a red card for a two-footed lunge against Crystal Palace.

Nottingham Forest fans can’t believe Morgan Gibbs-White red card decision v Brighton

Ultimately, it was a strong performance and a great result for Forest away from home which saw them reach five games unbeaten in the Premier League.

Once again, though, controversial refereeing decisions have cast a cloud over an impressive display, as they became the centre of attention once more.

Fans have flooded social media following the incident, raging at the officials and the decision which has been labelled “embarrassing” and “a disgrace”.

Another red card from winning the ball? What's the point in this contact sport? Absolute joke.— The Trent End (@ForestAreMagico) September 22, 2024

That referee is a cheat. Last season. This season. Cheat. #nffc— Think Football UK (@thinkfootballuk) September 22, 2024

That is an unbelievable tackle. What a shocking decision— Fred (@FredCUFC) September 22, 2024

WTF! complete joke of a red card. Got the ball.— John Horry (@jhorry79) September 22, 2024

How is that a red card for Gibbs White, but the Martinez one yesterday wasn’t? Refereeing has never been worse, wtf. #NFFC— Jason Candiano (@JayC97) September 22, 2024

Red card how? Rob Jones is a disgrace #NFFC— Marley Gillott (@marleynffc) September 22, 2024

Even Rob Jones says MGW got the ball. Another embarrassing decision for the PGMOL to explain next week. https://t.co/O2UiJoQfTX— Matt Debono (@MattDebonoAC) September 22, 2024

Anthony Taylor should not be officiating in any capacity in this country whatsoever. Even as a fourth official he has to try and make it about him.

Nasty rotten individual- who will always be protected by the FA/PGMOL for no reason https://t.co/q40ppEod1N— Zak ???? (@ZG1999_) September 22, 2024

Awful decision.. he was playing for the ball, no malice in it what so ever, looked like a good tackle to me— Liam Jackson (@liamrjackson13) September 22, 2024

Once again premier league officials prove to be a laughing stock in world football— Gl3nN (@Gl3nnC77) September 22, 2024

Games gone. Never a red card, he’s won the ball! Soon you won’t be aloud to do slide tackles like 5 a side. #BHANFO— Pete J.B. II (@Pebe89) September 22, 2024
