With an absolutely pathetic penalty call by the match day referee in the weekend’s clash between Leeds United and Brentford at Elland Road, whilst the game itself had plenty of talking points, a certain post-game incident made headlines of its own.
27-year-old Pontus Jansson made his mark on the game by scoring our leveller as we now go into another dull international break, but he also made his mark on the media with the choice of one word in his post-game interview with the cameras and whilst some were uproar about a word that’s used on a daily basis by most of us – even if I can’t print it – for many Leeds fans not only did the Swede say what everyone was thinking, the amount of passion he had on show simply warmed him to their hearts even more.
Taking to social media following the game to apologise for his choice of words, well, nobody complained.

31,000 of us sang it and agreed with Pontus. We didn’t just think it – Haa! Ruined what could have been a decent game

Don't be sorry, you said what most of us were thinking. Nobody else would have come out and said that. Your passion matches ours. Deserved your goal

No need to apologise your words were spot on. All the best for your new arrival.

More honesty from all players and managers should be welcomed. Refs should not be above criticism as long as it isn't hostile or rude.
