Fans voiced strong criticism over the referee’s decision to send off Willy Boly during Nottingham Forest’s encounter with Bournemouth. The Forest center-back received his marching orders in the 23rd minute, having accumulated two yellow cards. While the initial booking appeared justified, the second sparked controversy.
Boly’s tackle on Adam Smith seemed clean, with fans arguing that he won the ball fairly. Social media echoed sentiments of the decision being an “absolute disgrace,” with many questioning how VAR could allow such a mistake. Viewers highlighted the apparent fairness of Boly’s challenge, emphasizing that his studs were down, and he led with only one foot. Despite this, referee Rob Jones reached for the second yellow, leaving fans incredulous.
Nottingham Forest’s new manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, expressed post-match frustrations, calling the decision a mistake that lacked VAR intervention. The defeat, exacerbated by Dominic Solanke’s hat-trick and Bournemouth’s injury-time winner, marked Forest’s tenth league loss, placing them perilously close to the relegation zone.
