We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Brighton and Nottingham Forest.

Here are some of your comments:

Brighton fans

Barney: We were dominant. If you asked a Brighton fan who Nottingham Forest's man of the match was, I guarantee you it was the referee Robert Jones. He gave a silly penalty, unintentional free-kicks and was just an all-round terrible referee. Even Morgan Gibbs-White's red card was silly.

Geoff: Back-to-back home games where we had chances to win, but didn't take them. Very similar to what happened last season in games against teams that we just have to win against, if we have ambitions of European football. The referee was comical - consistently getting things wrong and then he totally lost control at the end with the red cards for the managers.

Finley: I believe both teams played equally well, although I think Brighton managed to engage a bit more in the second half. The altercation with the referee and managers shouldn't have been a red card.

Noddy: A game of two teams: one that can stand up with poor tackles coming in and the other that likes to fall down as if they were blown over. It was not a fair result. We can all take losing but not when there are 12 players against 11 from the start. The game was good to watch when all of the players stayed on their feet.

Forest fans

Stefan: We played well yet again. We soaked up their attack when we needed to and made chances for ourselves. Scoring hasn't been a problem so far this season and our defence looks solid. I don't know what Nuno did to this team in pre-season, but I'm loving it! We are still undefeated - still pushing and still improving.

Fosi: A big point. Horrendous refereeing. Why didn't VAR tell the referee that Morgan Gibbs-White got the ball? Is the system not working still? I'm not happy with Matz Sels - three games and three big mistakes. He is costing us stupid goals!

Sean: That game had everything and there were times where the result could have swung the way of either team. Considering how good Brighton are, and how much they were in the ascendancy after scoring, I think we were lucky to come away with a point but that is a sign of our progress under Nuno. We were able to hold on to the point, even with 10 men at the end.

Andy: Good away point. In the last two seasons we have had decisions go against us, especially from VAR. I will take that point all day against a very good Brighton side. Next up is Fulham, another test for Forest.

Former Premier League goalkeeper Shay Given spoke to BBC Match of the Day 2 about Karou Mitoma's performance against Nottingham Forest: "He was the star man today, for sure. He was absolutely brilliant. We always talk about the offensive side of his game, but he defends really well for the team.

"He can go inside, outside and he picks the right pass. Mitoma is at the heart of everything positive that Brighton were doing.

"They [the Nottingham Forest players] were taking turns trying to keep him out. It was a fantastic performance.

"I think they paid something like three million pounds for him. An absolute snip."

The main talking point from Brighton's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest was Morgan Gibbs-White's red card for the visitors late in the game.

Both managers were sent from the dugout in the aftermath of Gibbs-White being shown a second yellow card for a challenge on Joao Pedro.

On BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, presenter Darren Fletcher said he thought Forest were so angry with the decision because referee Rob Jones had signalled Gibbs-White had played the ball, before then dismissing the midfielder.

"He's either got to stick to it [his first decision] or they [referees] have got to be told not to be so rash," said ex-England goalkeeper Paul Robinson.

"He does get the ball, but it's the force he goes with and the pace of the tackle where he catches the player and you can understand why the card has been given.

"It's one of those: you can understand both arguments, but the referee has caused himself the problems by running over there and initially making the shape of the ball. Then, that's when everything's gone off because the Forest manager is immediately thinking 'the referee's told me he's got the ball and now he's sent him off, how can that be right?'"

Former Aston Villa and West Ham midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker said: "As a referee, you've got to stick to what you did and he did the ball sign.

"When he changed his mind, I knew instantly this is going to be what this whole game is going to be spoken about. We had a brilliant game of football but again we're going to be talking about a refereeing decision."

Brighton goalscorer Jack Hinshelwood has been speaking to BBC Radio Sussex following the draw at Amex Stadium: "We went down early but showed great character to get back into the game. We came in at half-time at 2-1 and, from that point, we can't be dropping points here at home. That was really frustrating.

"We need to become winners and be better at seeing games out. It will come but again it is frustrating. The manager has really been drumming that mentality into us and he will continue to, as we've dropped another two points here at home.

"As much as we are unbeaten and we are happy with the start, it is two games that we have come away from where we think we should have six points rather than two."

On scoring another header: "I like to arrive in the box and Joao Pedro has found me with a great ball. I have just tried to redirect it back across the goalkeeper and it was nice to see it hit the back of the net.

"But, again, it is so hard to be happy with that when we have come off the pitch with just one point."

On what they could have improved to get the three points: "I think we were very unlucky not to score the third goal, if that happens then it is a very different game. But, if we don't find that goal, then we've got to be resilient and together.

"For their second goal, there was a big gap in the midfield between myself and Mats [Wieffer]. We needed to shuffle over a bit more. There were just a few things that led to us being too open at the back.

"We need to learn from it and take these things on board to make sure it doesn't happen again."
