Tottenham expert questions whether official can referee Spurs again after new KMI reveal

Tottenham Hotspur have been told to complain to the Premier League and the PGMOL over referee Rob Jones.

Jones was the man in the middle for Spurs’ 1-0 defeat to Sunderland on 12 April, and he made the decision not to send off Brian Brobbey at the Stadium of Light.

The Premier League’s Key Match Incidents (KMI) panel have now revealed that the Mackems star should have been handed a second yellow card for his push on Cristian Romero.

The Dutchman had already been booked in the first half, but Jones decided to keep his cards in his pocket and not dismiss him.

Tottenham were aggrieved by the decision, especially after the news emerged that Romero would be out for the season, and their anger was justified.

Why should Jones not be on Tottenham games

John Wenham believes that Tottenham must take action and has questioned whether Jones should take charge of their games in the future.

Speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, he said: “This is the second time this season the Premier League’s KMI Panel has found that Rob Jones has made an error which should have resulted in a red card against Spurs opponent.

“The other player who they voted should have been sent off was Rodri for Man City.

“Should Rob Jones be having any involvement in Tottenham matches moving forward?

“Can the league give Brobbey a retrospective ban, they should.”

When asked whether the Lilywhites should launch an official complaint, he said: “Yeah, they should do.”

Why KMI admission is not good enough

Tottenham are in the middle of a relegation battle, and desperately need points on the board, rather than admissions that decisions were wrong.

If Rodri and Brobbey were sent off, that would have potentially changed the outcomes of the matches in question, and perhaps they would have six more points, which could have put them in a much more comfortable position.

If Jones referees another Lilywhites match, and makes another game-defining mistake, it could have disastrous consequences for the N17 outfit.

Roberto De Zerbi will hope that he is not appointed to any of his side’s last five matches, as they try to secure survival, as he is clearly not competent.
