Nottingham Forest boss Nuno fumes: Our fans deserve better refereeing decisions

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno insists Willy Boly didn't deserve his red card.

Boly was dismissed as Forest lost to Bournemouth 3-2.

Nuno said: “Bad decision. Very bad decision. A decision that totally changed the nature of the game.

“It is more the frustration of knowing the approach of the referee is a bad one and the law says you cannot reverse the decision because it is two yellow cards. It is something they have to look at because it doesn't make sense.

“First of all, the approach of the referee is bad. Boly has a first yellow card, which is fair, but then for the second the foot of Boly is under the foot of the Bournemouth player so the approach (from the referee) should be more cautious. Wait a little bit for the help of an assistant or the help of VAR, hold your decision and they will tell you. But after that (the red card) he cannot reverse the decision.

“Our fans deserve better decisions. They come here to see football and suddenly they see something which really changes the game.

“The frustration is huge. All of us are upset at this.

“I went to speak to the referee. Yeah, I went in. But what can I say, what can we do? You have to respect them and try to support them. But it is a mistake, a huge mistake."
