Huddersfield fans rage at Steve Cook comments and send Nottingham Forest warning

Huddersfield fans have given an angry reaction to comments from Steve Cook at Nottingham Forest’s promotion celebrations on Monday.

The Reds sealed a return to the Premier League after a 23-year hiatus with a play-off final victory over the Terriers on Sunday afternoon. Levi Colwill’s own goal was the decisive moment in the game as Forest came out as 1-0 winners. There was however two other moments that the game hinged on, with referee Jon Moss turning down two Huddersfield penalty shouts in the second half. After VAR reviews, the decision was taken not to overturn the on-field decisions.

As part of the celebrations, Forest players and fans joined together in an event at Old Market Square on Monday. It was during that that defender Cook thanked Jon Moss for the decisions, much to the delight of the crowd in attendance.

“I wasn’t worried about the game, I was worried about the fans and I was worried about the emotions after. I knew we could take care of the game,” he said .

“But you never know in football, you never know what’s going to happen. We’ll thank Jon Moss today - what a ******* guy! We love VAR! Up the Tricky Trees!”

It’s those comments that have riled up Huddersfield fans on social media. Here’s just some of the reaction from Sunday’s opposition.

Andy Riley : Got a feeling this video will resurface a few times next season when Forest are on the wrong end of VAR

Andrew : Absolute state of this. They're going to have a big shock next season and I'm going to revel in rolling this out on every occasion

Max Thompson : Hope they get stung bad by VAR for this next year in prem

Callum Scott : Sometimes you can just tell something will age horribly…

Michael : Disgusting, no class whatsoever, so much for being magnanimous in victory and defeat

EVILC : Totally shows they know they got away with it big style
