Morgan Gibbs-White hits out at Premier League refereeing stance after Nottingham Forest decision

Nottingham Forest vice-captain Morgan Gibbs-White criticized Premier League officiating after referee Thomas Bramall relied on VAR rather than making an on-field decision during Friday's 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. Ipswich defender Issa Diop received a yellow card rather than a red card after fouling James McAtee, following an intervention by video assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis.

Gibbs-White stated that match officials should take greater ownership on the pitch rather than constantly waiting for VAR reviews. Meanwhile, Forest head coach Oliver Glasner argued the foul felt like a red card, whereas Diop maintained he was confident he would not be sent off due to covering defender Leif Davies.
