Nottingham Forest 'demand ref Rob Jones be banned from taking charge of their matches following second complaint'... as referees chief Howard Webb 'confirms Willy Boly blunder'

Nottingham Forest have demanded Rob Jones be suspended from officiating their matches following the referee’s blunder in sending off Willy Boly in the 3-2 defeat against Bournemouth.

Howard Webb, the head of Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL), has contacted new Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo to confirm Jones made a serious error in showing Boly a second yellow card in Saturday’s Premier League match, according to the Telegraph.

Forest have reportedly lodged a compliant and demanded any recording of the conversation between the referee and the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in relation to the incident.
