Good article
Every Leeds fan left that ground complaining about the standard of the referee, but we expect the players to not mention it straight after the game? At the final whistle, Jansson was going around clapping the fans and some Sky employee was chasing him to try get him to start the interview. He speaks his mind and could get in trouble for it - it's a farce.
I'm all for VAR and thought it was weak of the FA to decide to not introduce it properly. They panicked because of a couple of games where it wasn't used properly. If it slows the game down but clears up obvious mistakes and cheating like today, then it's a positive for the game.
Not sure about VAR but 100% with you on accountability...……... 5 star article
100% in favour of getting the correct decision and getting out of the dark ages .if the technology is there to help officials then use it.
Good article. The player should not comment, straight after the game, in situations like this. That should be taught them by the club.
However, what I never get, is (and this is a bit off topic maybe)
Why is it so much worse to use those words, than to show murder, rape and violence on TV?
I'll never get that I guess.
Managers need more protection in interviews. Players and managers get stick week in week out when they underperform, so why can't tool box refs

Great point Loidis.
I've seen things on daytime TV myself that are a bit close to the knuckle, and that is considered acceptable?
And the you get a 30,000+ crowd chanting, "The referee's a w@*ker" at a mid-day live match. What they gonna do? Mute the sound or fine the club for not controlling its fans?
Laughable

We were raped for their goal
Lubo, I think you know what I meant.
Elland did, and brought a very good addition to my point.
I just asked an honest question, about what I see as a bit of hypocrisy.
You may see it different, but hey; that is why we have forums, isn't it
Don’t have a problem with them interviewing straight after.
Don’t have a problem with player using that language.
Do have a problem with asking that question, getting a not unsurprising answer, and then telling player off for it!
I find swearing an interesting concept, lots of words that are now seen as swear words used to be in common usage and perfectly acceptable, they've only acquired taboo status over time because society labels certain words as such. They are words after all and why should Sh@t be any worse than poo as a word.
Whole thing is nonsense, words are just words.
Society needs to grow up a bit in my view.
There are two words in Turkish for cucumber,
salatalık and hıyar, one is acceptable and the other deeply offensive and therefore taboo, yet they both mean cucumber.
Interestingly https://talksport.com/football/efl/430353/pontus-jansson-launches-foul-mouthed-tirade-at-referee-live-on-sky-after-leeds-united-draw-with-brentford/ and https://www.teamtalk.com/news/pontus-jansson-launches-four-letter-tirade-live-on-sky-sports see it as a tirade. Need to check definitions.
