Forest or Huddersfield?

[Milltown1882]

For the love of God get VAR out of this sport. The tech is brilliant but the officials are absolutely horrendous (no surprise it’s a Moss and Tierney combo) and there’s just no consistency.

[jedi_master]

Regardless of the theatrics, the guy clearly (clearly!) got tripped there.

Poor Huddersfield.

[tiger76]

What’s the point in VAR?

None if Tierney's operating it, yet more VAR controversy following yesterday's L2 PO final.

[CrosspoolClarets]

The kind of decision Moss and Tierney rarely give us. They are big club referees.

Stone wall pen. Huddersfield player naive to try to pull his leg away, made it look more marginal than it was.

Another thing I won’t miss is these two clowns reffing us every week.

[claretburns]

Commentator "not clear for VAR" but it's clear enough for the thousands watching on TV?

[jedi_master]

Just hope we can get up automatically without having to play games with VAR active.

[claret wizard]

Clear enough for Colback thanking God after the decision.

[claretburns]

None if Tierney's operating it, yet more VAR controversy following yesterday's L2 PO final.

What happened yesterday? I watched the full game but don't remember any VAR issues.

[ClaretTony]

You get to a play off final and get lumbered with Moss & Tierney.

[claretburns]

Just hope we can get up automatically without having to play games with VAR active.

All 46 of our games next season will have VAR I believe.

[RVclaret]

The same Paul Tierney that couldn’t keep the whistle out of his month whenever a villa player fell over the other week

[Milltown1882]

How much has Moss and VAR cost Forest today? Good price whatever they got it for.

[claretburns]

A second penalty not given, can Moss and Tierney retire please?

[bumba]

Should of had two pens, 1st one was a terrible decision then to book the player for diving!
The more I see the 2nd one I think it's a penalty

[RVclaret]

That’s another blatant pen. What’s going on?

[beddie]

Same old, boys club. Tierney dare not go against Moss otherwise it causes controversy.

[ClaretTony]

All 46 of our games next season will have VAR I believe.

Is this ridiculous VAR light?

[NewClaret]

When you watch stuff like this it’s hard to not believe the officials are bent.

[NewClaret]

Is this ridiculous VAR light?

Someone said VAR lite starts next season.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Obvious bias. As we have been discussing for a couple of weeks. Other way round, Forest get those. Appalls me it is so obvious and so unaccountable and untransparent.

Come on Huddersfield.

[ClaretTony]

Should of had two pens, 1st one was a terrible decision then to book the player for diving!
The more I see the 2nd one I think it's a penalty

Both pens for me

[Beagle]

VAR don’t even bother to check a second clear penalty? I wanted Forest to win but I won’t be pleased if this is how it comes about, **** refs continue to ruin English football.

[claretburns]

Is this ridiculous VAR light?

It is, I read it earlier this year but can't remember if it has been voted in for next season or the year after.

[tiger76]

What happened yesterday? I watched the full game but don't remember any VAR issues.

Don't know the details, but Nigel Clough wasn't happy with VAR being used for these finals when it hasn't been used in the lower leagues all season.

Nothing more specific than that I believe, and his biggest complaint is that neither club were consulted prior to the games.

For me it's not VAR itself which is the problem, it's the tossers reffing the games and then also making VAR calls which is the real issue.

[ClaretTony]

Another reason for me wanting Huddersfield to win - they’ve just shown the bloke who owns Forest & Olympiacos.

[claretburns]

I still want Forest to win as I think they'll be the stronger of the two next year in the Championship but I do feel for Huddersfield after them two penalties.

[CleggHall]

If this match means £170 million to the winners presumably that is also the loss to relegated clubs? Makes you think.

[tiger76]

A second penalty not given, can Moss and Tierney retire please?

Moss is retiring isn't he., Tierney I guess not, just hope the refs are better in the Championship.

[Conroysleftfoot]

I just don't get what VAR is supposed to do. They just said on Sky that the ref couldn't see through all the bodies with the second pen, so why doesn't VAR tell the ref what happened and get him to look at the monitor.

[Smile]

Didn't look like a penalty in slow motion on VAR.

[tiger76]

If this match means £170 million to the winners presumably that is also the loss to relegated clubs? Makes you think.

Won't be as much for the relegated clubs due to the parachute payments, but all 3 will suffer a major drop in revenue.

[CrosspoolClarets]

I’d forgotten what went on in that dressing room area in Athens.

Makes me feel even worse for fellow small town Huddersfield. Football is gradually being killed off with who owns some of these clubs.

[tiger76]

I just don't get what VAR is supposed to do. They just said on Sky that the ref couldn't see through all the bodies with the second pen, so why doesn't VAR tell the ref what happened and get him to look at the monitor.

Now don't apply common sense towards referees for goodness sake.

[jos]

Ridiculous refereeing, feel sorry for Huddersfield.

[BurnleyFC]

Dyche to Forest at Christmas or before.

Absolutely nailed on.

[ClaretTony]

I’d forgotten what went on in that dressing room area in Athens.

That’s him. Evangelos Marinakis.

[Murger]

Well played Moss. Fat c*nt.

[tiger76]

Forest up but that leaves a sour taste in the mouth for me.

[beddie]

Enjoy it Forest, you’ll be back down after one season.

[Milltown1882]

Keeper has recovered quick to be bouncing about celebrating.

[CrosspoolClarets]

If this match means £170 million to the winners presumably that is also the loss to relegated clubs? Makes you think.

Its worse than that. You have to factor in lost income due to relegation escape clauses in contracts - could easily add £50m for clubs with some top talent, like us (Cornet, Collins etc).

You also have to factor in multiple years - about 2/1 to drop and about 4/1 to bounce back, so odds are it affects 2+ years.

[tarkys_ears]

Enjoy it Forest, you’ll be back down after one season.

Hopefully taking Leeds with them

[Funkydrummer]

As I said earlier, a good mate of mine is a Forest supporter and he
says that they got away with those two penalty shouts.

Gutted for Huddersfield.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Moss to start his new job as manager of Premier League refs tomorrow.

[Rileybobs]

Dyche to Forest at Christmas or before.

Absolutely nailed on.

Can’t see Forest sacking Cooper less than halfway into a Premier League season.

[tiger76]

Moss to start his new job as manager of Premier League refs tomorrow.

Good grief.

[RMutt]

I see we stayed up in the PL without VAR table.

[4:20]

Can't help but entertain the thought that the game is bent.

[Vegas Claret]

fantastic interview by Worrell

[Top Claret]

Forest will be back in the championship this time next year along with Bournemouth.
