Fans genuinely can't believe the yellow card Willy Boly received for his challenge on Adam Smith during Nottingham Forest vs. Bournemouth.

Boly was given his marching orders in the 23rd minute of their Premier League clash on Saturday.

But fans can't believe Robert Jones' decision to brandish a second yellow card to the Forest defender.

He went in early and won the ball before Smith trodded on Boly's ankle, with the Bournemouth player crashing down on the floor, clutching his foot.

Despite Boly winning the ball, he was shown a second yellow card for his challenge, resulting in a red card.





Speaking on Soccer Saturday, Kris Boyd, who's watching the match, called Jones' decision a 'shocker' in a damning assessment.

Mike Dean also weighed in as he explained why VAR didn't get involved.

"He's played the ball Boly... and Smith's landed on top of Boly's ankle rather than the other way around," he said.

"He's very unlucky."




Fans also fumed at the decision to show Boly a second yellow card as they made their feelings clear on social media.

One X user wrote: "Say this almost every week now it seems, but this is genuinely a contender for the worst decision I've ever seen."

A second tweeted: "So CLEARLY wins the ball. Absolutely ridiculous."

A third added: "What a terrible decision. What's the point of VAR if it can't be used for a clear and obvious error like this one."

A fourth commented: "Ridiculous decision. We’re suppose to have the best league in the world. Why isn’t our officiating up to standard?"

A fifth said: "Just seen the Willy Boly red. Abysmal decision. Forest rightly fuming."
