Controversial Instagram Post
Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White stirred a huge controversy by sharing a double image hinting that Man Utd's FA Cup winner should not have stood. The post combined Casemiro's goal with Virgil van Dijk's disallowed effort for Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.
Outcry on Social Media
Fans flooded social media with their opinions on Gibbs-White's Instagram post, highlighting the offside positions of Casemiro and VVD in the freeze-frame shots. Some Forest fans claimed there was blatant inconsistency in the decision-making.
Debate and Criticism
Viewers expressed their discontent over the decision, with many feeling that Forest was wrongly denied at least extra time in the game. The post sparked a cascade of criticism online, with some questioning the refereeing decisions made during the match.
Reactions and Fallout
While some defended the referee's call on the goal, others wondered if Gibbs-White could face sanctions for his Instagram post. Additionally, some Forest fans were more upset about their players complaining on social media rather than the legitimacy of the goal.
Outcome for Teams
Despite the controversy, Liverpool and Van Dijk were able to move on from the debate as they secured a victory in the Wembley showpiece. In contrast, Nottingham Forest exited the FA Cup, leaving fans disappointed with the outcome of the match.

Financial Fair Play Rules (FFP rules) are part of the Premier League’s financial regulations. They were designed to ensure that clubs do not spend beyond their means while promoting financial stability. These rules oblige clubs to limit losses over a 3-year period, and to make sure that their expenses do not exceed their income from football-related activity. The regulations are in place to encourage responsible spending and to maintain competitive balance within the league.
How is Premier League winning determined?
The Premier League champion is the one who has the most points in the 38 game season. Three points are given to teams for winning, one point for drawing, and no points are awarded if the team loses. If teams finish the season with equal points, then the winner is determined by the goal difference and, if needed, the number scored. If the teams still are level, then a game at a neutral ground may decide the title. But this scenario is not known to have happened in Premier League.
