According to VoetbalPrimeur, Forbs was sent off by referee Erik Lambrechts for physically pushing Club Brugge teammate Siebe Van der Heyden. The Bondsparket, the disciplinary committee of the Royal Belgian Football Association, has deemed Forbs' actions unacceptable, stating that the incident had "nothing to do with football" and that Forbs' reaction was "absolutely unacceptable". The committee has proposed a ban of three matches, with one match to be served immediately and two matches to be served conditionally, depending on Forbs' future behavior. Forbs and Club Brugge must now decide whether to accept the proposed punishment or contest it further.
