Leeds United’s clash with Queens Park Rangers last Saturday at Elland Road was a pretty eventful tie, in reality.
Manager Marcelo Bielsa saw his side pick up another three points as we continue breathing down Norwich City necks and we even gained our first penalty in what felt like a decade for most fans.
The penalty decision hung on an alleged handball by QPR defender Toni Leistner – I’m yet to see a definitive replay but it sure as hell looked like a penalty to me. Steve McClaren and the player disagreed, however, and Leistner went full Pontus on social media following the game – much to the delight of our Swede.
You might be in prison if you use those words as a Leeds player ????
All the best big man, stay strong!— Pontus Jansson (@PJansson5) December 9, 2018
Jansson Tweet was perfectly responded to by Leistner.
See you soon, but hopefully with another referee ????????

Whilst it was just a bit of fun, Leistner can no doubt expect a letter soon and a number felt Jansson had again put himself in the FA’s headlights – others saw the funny side of it and Jansson again went up in their estimation.

You know Jansson will get a fine for his reply but Toni gets away free since they can’t think of a swear word with 3 letters

“The football league and football assosciation find no case to answer for in regards to leistner but for jansson and Leeds the sarcastic tweet by jansson incurs a 6 match ban and 15 points deducted at the end of the season”
