Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper questioned their red card after drawing 1-1 with Brentford on Sunday.
Forest defender Moussa Niakhate was sent off before Christian Norgaard fired the Bees ahead. Nicolas Dominguez soon struck an equaliser for Forest.
Cooper said, "We all want the referees to be in a good place. Not just what happened yesterday but in general, it is the one Premier League game of the day. It needed to be a real clear and concise performance. But they have just raised more questions than answers.
"There are going to be talking points when there didn't need to be. If he doesn't give him the second yellow - it's definitely a first yellow and it's a silly one from Moussa around the edge of the box because you have to defend the free-kick - but to give the second one. If he doesn't give it, it doesn't even get mentioned.
"The fact he's given probably creates more problems for them to talk about. We'll have to accept it but in the greater scheme of things we all want referees in a good place. Unfortunately today he's added to that a little bit."
