That's 3 in a row now against lower league side where we've scraped through by the skin of our teeth. If we play the same side against Wimbledon then it will be 4. Surely we must learn after 3 dismal attempts albeit we won them...... Just

"He said: “I’m disappointed with the referee’s decision to give Pontus a yellow card.
“Initially he waved play on, it was only because the crowd shouted that he stopped the play."
Garry Monk should know better. When referees see a foul, they usually wait a few seconds to see if they can apply advantage. Nothing to do with crowd reaction when the whistle is blown a little after the foul occurred.

Ref was.probably aware of Jansson being on 9 cards. Booked him as so as he had the chance too. It was a booking. Surprised he didn't send Phillips off for his tackle and repeat offending.

The Ref was a tw4t , look at the foul count but only Leeds players got cards, don't believe Janssons was a card offence, not even sure it was a foul as the other player went into Jansson's arm as it was already up >
