Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher replies to Morgan Gibbs-White’s sending off for Nottingham Forest vs Brighton Former referee Dermot Gallagher believes the correct process was followed by the referees when deciding to send out Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White against Brighton. The main flashpoint in Forest’s 2-2 draw came in the 83rd minute, when Gibbs-White went to confront Joao Pedro, and referee Rob Jones signalled that the midfielder had won the ball after his reckless sliding challenge. However, the final decision rejected this first opinion, as a second yellow card was issued, culminating in ejection. Nuno Espirito Santo was…

Breaking down the situation, Hackett said: “I looked at the red…
