The Nottingham Forest v West Ham matchup in the EFL Second Round saw many controversial arbitration cases handled by Judge Robert Jones, the most important of which will be discussed in this report from a purely arbitration standpoint.

1. The first was in the 43rd minute when West Ham’s Ben Rahma scored and the referee allowed it. Of course, Ben Rahma was not offside when he received the ball and he did not commit any foul, but his colleague Antonio was the one who committed a foul after giving a warning and pushing an opposing defender before the ball had reached Ben Rahma. case, and he asked the arena referee to come to the screen and watch the shot, and the latter did not hesitate to reverse his decision and cancel the goal and count the foul in the interests of Nottingham Forest.

2. The second incident was in the 55th minute when Nottingham Forest’s Johnson scored a goal for his team, and the second assistant referee credited him, but his decision was incorrect. something simple, and then the VAR arbitrator had to intervene and ask the judge to cancel. The goal was out of play, which actually happened.

3. The third incident was in the 64th minute when a West Ham player kicked the ball towards the goal, but the Nottingham player Forest McKenna cleared the ball with his hand, but the referee did not see the situation and ordered the game to continue and his decision was wrong. Goal and of course not a red card because there was a goalkeeper behind him and he had the opportunity to hit the ball. Here the VAR referee asked the referee to come and look at the situation again, and he changed his mind and appointed a well-deserved penalty. The situation is somewhat easy, but the referee did not focus in the right place and he lost focus, but the video referee saved him at the end.
