Key Points

• Ipswich's Issa Diop on Nottingham Forest's James McTies.
• Ipswich's Issa Diop received a yellow card for a foul on James McTies, leading to debate whether it should have been a red card. Nottingham Forest coach Oliver Glasner called it a clear red card.
• Ipswich's Issa Diop escaped a red card for a foul on Nottingham Forest's James McAtee - but was it the right call?.

Ipswich's Issa Diop was given a yellow card for a foul on Nottingham Forest's James McTies, while Oliver Glasner called it a "clear red card". The incident occurred during a 1-1 draw between Nottingham Forest and Ipswich. Five minutes into the second half of the match, Diop committed a foul on McTies who was heading towards goal. If he was taken off the field it could have affected the outcome of the match.

Glasner believed that Diop spurned a clear goalscoring opportunity. Diop, on the other hand, told Sky Sports that he was "pretty confident" that he would remain on the field while the officials and VAR considered the decision.

There was division among Sky Sports pundits also on this incident. Diop drew a foul on McTies, but it was unclear whether it was a clear goal-scoring opportunity. Referee Thomas Brammall did not blow his whistle on the matter at first, but was then instructed by VAR to go to the pitchside monitor.

Bramall later said it was a foul, but because McTies pushed the ball to the right of goal, the final decision was a direct free-kick and a yellow card for Diop. McTies touch does not make this a "clear goalscoring opportunity". It was a subjective call. McTease advanced the ball, passing it inside the box and slightly to the right.

Glasner later argued that moving the ball to the right could have increased McTees' chances of scoring. “When you run against the keeper and run straight, often the angle is not right, so we ask players to angle sometimes,” he said.

However, Bramall also had other factors in mind. Shortly after the incident, Premier League Match Center posted an explanation of the incident on social media. "It's a heavy touch, and the defender is in and he pushes the ball away from goal – I'm going to give a straight free-kick and a yellow card," Bramall said.

Brammall didn't mention "heavy touches" in his announcement, but was McTees actually going to reach the ball? Ipswich defender Leif Davies is mentioned in this context. "The McTees are not going to get there first," said Ashley Young on Sky Sports.

Glasner said that the decision was controversial and that it was certainly difficult for Forest fans.

The incident has raised questions about whether Diop should have been given a red card or not.

What will happen next

Ipswich will now have to pay attention to Diop's condition in their next matches, especially if they try to avoid similar fouls in the future. It is clear from the reaction of Nottingham Forest coach Oliver Glasner that he is dissatisfied with the decision, which could affect the morale of his players in the future. After this incident, both teams may need to make changes in their strategies to improve their Premier League performance.
