Voted the best city in the world
Contact doesn't equal foul
Yeah agreed but that kind of contact on the bottom foot completely details your stride IMO and is a foul.
Embellished it massively
Yeah that didn’t help.
As others have said there wasn't enough contact for the theatrical fall. Could have easily planted his right foot, but decided to starfish instead
Yeah I still think it’s a foul.
It’s not even that it’s clear contact, he got completely tripped over.
Yep. At that speed, and at that angle, the slightest contact derails you completely.
Before he initiates his dive? Not sure about that. Honestly if he just tried to actually continue his play then he'd have got it.
Yeah he’s making the most of it doesn’t help his cause but anyway, great to see Forest up!

Well done Forest. Can’t remember the last time they were in the premier league but will be a good addition.

8-1 at the City ground wasn't it?

A long old time ago but judging by their cups games this season v Leicester, Arsenal and Liverpool they'll have a good chance of staying up if they can sign 3-4 with good top level experience.

Huddersfield can feel super hard done by here. Robbed by a garbage ref. Buzzing to have Forest back in the big time though.

really surprised the holback challenge didn't get reversed for a foul and penalty

The captain for forest, can't tell if he's dead emotional or concussed.

Was penalty.
Both were. If I was a Huddersfield fan I'd be livid that they have to spend another season in the second division because Moss can't ref properly.

Sad day for the PL to have a drug seller owner in the league. Hope they go straight back down.

Forest manager looks like a fan who won a competition to be a manager for the day.

Both penalties, first one takes him out of his stride. Second one is stone wall, the Huddersfield player got his body between ball and man, anywhere else on the pitch and it's given, awful officiating but not surprising given its Moss.

I would be furious if I was involved with Huddersfield

Absolutely disgusting and again no explanation or consequences

Not available in my location. The negatives of being an American
Can't find the second pen but here's the first one. It was the weaker of the claims but still a clear pen for me.

First one no, second one as obvious as could be.

Anyway glad to see Forest back. Their fans getting to take the piss out of having more European Cups than City will be funny.

First was not a pen for me. Dude was spreading his wings for takeoff well before contact. He was trying for a pen rather than playing the ball.

Second was absolutely a pen. Moss blew it.
