Forest don't like Rob Jones. At all. Ironic, as that probably played into them getting every 50/50 decision going their way in the 1st half.

Irrelevant really in this incident as Rob Jones had immediately ruled in Forest’s favour initially - saying Gibbs-White won the tackle and called for a throw.
It was Anthony Taylor acting as the 4th official from pitchside) that overrode Jones’ call (which is why it kicked off in the technical area/touchline ). AT would have been seeing the incident from the opposite angle to Jones.
Anthony Taylor was removed from refereeing duties this weekend ( edit pending investigation into last week match between Chelsea Bournemouth) - both Brighton and Notts are facing further investigation. As far him giving Santo a red card, it is a no brainer I would have thought but Hürzeler’s red card is controversial to say the least.
Doesn’t change the incompetency of the initial refereeing from Jones though - it should have been an immediate yelloe or even a straight red.
Premier League clubs call for refs to be banned on a frequent basis - it doesn’t take much googling to find some club or other asking for a particular ref to be banned/demoted.
