Nottingham Forest midfielder, Morgan Gibbs-White, expressed dissatisfaction with officiating following his team's loss to Manchester United, in a now-deleted social media post.
In a closely contested FA Cup encounter on Wednesday evening, Nottingham Forest faced a narrow defeat against Manchester United, with the latter securing a quarter-final berth against Liverpool, courtesy of Casemiro's 89th-minute header.
The decisive goal, originating from a Bruno Fernandes free kick, sparked controversy as VAR intervened to determine Raphael Varane's involvement. Despite Varane's offside positioning during the cross, which went unchallenged by the officials due to his lack of contact with the ball, the goal was deemed valid.
Gibbs-White voiced his discontentment, drawing parallels between this incident and a similar occurrence during the recent Carabao Cup final clash between Liverpool and Chelsea. In that match, a goal by Virgil van Dijk was disallowed in regulation time due to offside, prompting widespread criticism of VAR's decision-making process.
Sharing his frustration on Instagram, Gibbs-White juxtaposed images of the two contentious moments, highlighting perceived inconsistencies in officiating standards. While the midfielder has since removed the post, it ignited discussions surrounding the Premier League referees' adherence to consistent rulings.
