Pontus ban, shouldn't be, but will be, being as it's Leeds.

Pontus asked by the FA to explain his “robbery” comment.......

When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.
Re: Pontus Jansson
Tbh I love Pontus more for the passionate outburst! He wears his heart on his sleeve, a true Leeds warrior in my eyes!
It's only a game love?! Shut up you daft woman....

Neither of those 2 incidents were 'heat of the moment' they were blatant cheating against fellow professionals and far too much of it goes on. It ruins the integrity of the game and should be stamped out as should any type of holding in the box from corners and set pieces.
I agree RSS. I was at an Evening with Johnny Giles talk last night here in Cork when he said that the only player to dive in his day was Fanny Lee with M City. There was no one trying to get another player sent off because if a guy kicked you you were hell bent in kicking him off the picth later in the match. Football today has become a non-contact pantomime
Re: Pontus Jansson
Johnny Giles said kicking him off the pitch later in the match. I always left it to the last 10 minutes which doesn't give them much time to do anything about it. I think that's what Johnny was meaning by later in the match.Independent Republic wrote:rss1969 wrote:I think there are bigger things to be concerned about................much more annoyed at Saiz diving for a pen vs Hull & Watkins cheating to win a pen.

Well, he's been charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

Sergi Canos will not be charged with the head butt on Alioski, absolute bloody joke.

I know it was against one of our own, but these "head butt" incidents really make me laugh.NottinghamWhite wrote:Sergi Canos will not be charged with the head butt on Alioski, absolute bloody joke.
There was no connection and even if there was it would be so gentle as to be more like a forehead kiss and I'd wager 9/10 of them are like that.
It's more like a show of machismo than anything else and utterly pathetic.
I don't think he should be charged, just given a warning that if he does it again he'll be laughed out of town ..
I'd be more embarrassed than anything else.
But then I wouldn't behave like that in the first place ..

Let's just hope that it will be a slap on the wrist (best case) or a fine (worst case). I doubt he will be let off scot free.rigger wrote:https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/ ... -1-9397246

All these buggers ever need is the slightest opportunity to knock us down a peg or five and they will take it with glee.
There's a whole parade of these occasions but we keep sticking the chin out.

Apparently Villa owner Tony Xia was hit with a £4000 fine last season after having a rant about Jeremy Simpson.
