"I try to be open and honest with it because I think there are certain things in the game that can be corrected very easily. It's not about the Man City game or anything like that, I mean the bigger picture - things that could have been corrected years ago. Feigning injuries, I don't think that's got a place in football."
"Forest felt Ruben Dias should have been sent off for a second bookable offence after bringing down Igor Jesus as he was making a run in behind the defence, with referee Rob Jones keeping his cards in his pocket. The winning goal from Rayan Cherki was also contentious, as Morgan Gibbs-White complained of a foul from Nico O'Reily in the build-up."
Nottingham Forest lost 2-1 to Manchester City. Forest believed Ruben Dias should have been sent off for a second bookable offence after bringing down Igor Jesus as he made a run behind the defence, while Morgan Gibbs-White complained of a foul from Nico O'Reily in the build-up to Rayan Cherki's contentious winning goal. Head coach Sean Dyche defended the club's formal complaint to PGMOL as addressing the bigger picture of refereeing standards, citing feigning injuries and unnecessary referee interventions. Dyche urged referees be allowed to do their jobs without repeated VAR referrals. Forest have lost their last two league games and sit 17th, and will face Everton at home in their final match of 2025 after losing the reverse fixture 3-0 earlier in the month.
