How Howard Webb’s absence from a Premier League match due to officiating standards affects Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest wants to talk to Howard Webb at a Premier League shareholders’ meeting about officiating standards. Several Premier League teams are dissatisfied with the quality of officiating thus far this season, and the Chief officiating Officer of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) was set to give an update on refereeing at a meeting in London on Thursday. How does Nottingham Forest feel now that Tony Scholes, the Chief Football Officer of the Premier League, has been assigned the meeting by Howard Webb? Let’s examine this.

Nottingham Forest’s feelings

According to a Times report, the Premier League officiating this season has left many at the City Ground incensed. The three teams that believe they have been the victims of unfair or inconsistent refereeing calls thus far in the 2024–25 season are Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, and Leicester City. According to The Times, Nottingham Forest is particularly upset with the red cards given to Nuno Espirito Santo and Morgan Gibbs-White during Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Brighton.

In case you missed it, the Nottingham Forest manager was fired for his response when Gibbs-White received a second yellow card for a challenge on Joao Pedro. Rob Jones had signaled moments before that the England international had won the ball, so the manager had every right to be upset. Gibbs-White is cruelly staring down a lengthy suspension due to the way he handled Anthony Taylor following his termination. It’s interesting to note that, despite what they would say, the PGMOL contends that many of the rulings that Premier League clubs are contesting were accurate. This comes after Evangelo Marinakis lost his temper with PGMOL players, leading Nottingham Forest to file multiple public complaints on the caliber of officiating during the previous season.

Reds are quite entitled to feel irritated.

How is it that we are still talking about officiating more than the game of football? It’s getting to be a boring discussion, and maybe some new faces should be tried out if it’s taking this long for people like Jones to learn how to referee a Premier League match.
