Unless your club happens to be one of the Premier League's 'top six' elite, you have to be prepared for all sorts of injustices during the course of the season in the hope that "things will even themselves out' by the time the last game is played.

Well, as it stands teams will have to play for a month of Sundays before fans witness anything like a level playing field when it comes to match officials, particularly VAR. Loathed and despised by ALL, VAR has taken fan frustration to a new level!

Ultimately Freiburg 'got away with one' in last night's Europa League game in Germany. The penalty that 'never was' given being a source of much frustration for fans and those within the club.

However the fact that so much hung on a penalty that was contentiously denied is a classic example of why 'Moyesball' doesn't always work.

Setting your team up with a vast distance between defence and attack for a massive European game beggars belief, especially from a manager of David Moyes experience, but the serial defensive man did exactly as many feared and played for the draw!
