    No way of knowing whether they'd have scored either penalty of course but I'd also be looking for some hefty compensation for having missed out on the promotion millions.

    Never mind, they're due the next installment on Karlan Grant soon to soften the blow.
    Just listen to yourself 68!!!

    Referees and officials make subjective decisions. Do they get everything right - NO. Will VAR ever get everything right, NO.

    We are all human and mistakes happen. If a club cannot accept that, no matter how unfortunate that is, then they should get out of sport altogether and do something else with their money.

    All this talk of seeking investigations, compensation, going to court even as some have, just shows how self centred the world has become. Let’s get a bit of reality into the sport rather than trying to blame some else.

    VAR actually magnifys the inconsistencies of poor refereeing decisions during matches.
    At least before it came along...you expected poor decisions to go both ways.
    But now it just really highlights the ineptitude of many officials.

    Just listen to yourself Yarm', and once you've finished doing that go forth and multiply. Have a good, happy and productive day.

    The Real Madrid offside goal was a joke as well.

    These VAR “experts” spend minutes making stupid decisions.

    Officials don’t even understand or know how to interpret their own rules.

    Sorry Yarm - you are wrong and 68 is right. I get why Moss could have missed the first penalty but VAR did not overturn it as not to undermine Moss. It was a nailed on penalty so VAR is useless when everyone else spotted it!

    The second penalty too was nailed on and if Fatty Moss had kept up with play he would have seen what everyone else saw! How this did not go to VAR then I blame VAR again!!!

    Whilst a ref can make a mistake it defies believe that VAR can not spot things or make mistakes. So either VAR does the job properly or get rid of it!!

    Whoever was on the VAR camera needs to be held accountable for those decisions as that’s an £178 million game. They were absolute simple, easy to call, non contentious penalty decisions.

    This isn’t an issue of subjectivity but incompetence.

    Totally agree Matt! A hospital trust is made accountable if any employee makes a mistake on a patient and it’s negligence! Get rid of VAR as clearly manned by muppets

    Statler and Waldorf are offended by this slur....... even they thought Huddersfield should have had penalties for both claims.

    Miss Piggy and Gonzo meanwhile have gone off the deep end at suggestions that either instance was a dive.

    Daylight robbery twice - both nailed on pens!!!

    I really feel for Huddersfield…

    And, those clowns of refs and VAR-refs, could they please be held accountable for their blatant incompetence, just once!?

    Don’t forget, they are very well (affluently?) paid and I thought that was, partly anyway, to not make these blatant mistakes…
