Reported that Forest have received an apology from Webb, and club have asked that Jones no longer officiates any game they are involved in, even as a VAR. Sad state of affairs. What can you do? Mistakes have always been part of the game but now they are highlighted in such a manner to be almost detrimental to the game a a whole.
If I was Howard Webb he would be on every other game of theirs for the foreseeable future. No club has the right to ask for a particular referee to be on their games or not. Perhaps refs can start asking for certain players or managers/coaches not to be included in the squad because they always cause issues? Really dislike clubs thinking they can dictate who does or doesn't referee them. It was an error, a bad one but get over it seriously!
No thanks bmb. As a referee and a Forest supporter I can say this if it happened to any other team and I know Wolves have had it happen quite alot to them they would be saying the same thing. This is Rob Jones 2nd error this season with Forest after the game with manchester united this season that's why Forest have had enough. They are fighting to stay in the league without Rob Jones adding to there problems with his errors.
We've had many bad decisions go against us, penalties that were wrong calls but bizarrely didn't meet the clear and obvious criteria, but never have we asked for a referee not to be on our games though. 1 particular now retired referee who always received praise on here - never once saw him have a good game for us, always big errors, every single game, we had many good reasons to have asked for him to be kept away but rightly never did so. Referee error is just that, they are mere human beings, it's impossible for them to be 100% accurate. Players make more errors in 1 game than referees do across a season and they add up to be the most costly thing for any team. If your team go down, it won't be because of 2 errors by Rob Jones, it will be because of the multitude of missed shots, misplaced passes, poor goalkeeping etc.
Totally agree but I also said they didn't want him adding to there problems
I remember Mark Clattenburg was kept away from Everton for quite awhile and Mike Dean on request from Arsenal if I'm right in the past it happens all the time not just Nottingham Forest
