Graeme Souness and David Jones react to Leeds United footage of Victor Orta on Sky Sports
David Jones and Graeme Souness were left in hysterics live on Sky Sports as footage of Leeds United chief Victor Orta was shared.
The Spaniard was enraged after the Whites rescued a last-gasp point against Brentford at Elland Road, drawing 2-2.
Jones insisted it all got a bit too much in the directors’ box, something Souness clearly agreed with in the Sky studios.
Speaking on Sky Sports during their coverage of Super Sunday (5th December), Jones was left in hysterics.
“Passions were running high at Elland Road,” he said. “That’s Victor Orta, Leeds’ director of football after Patrick Bamford came off the bench to snatch a 95th-minute equaliser.
“It all got a bit too much up in the comfy seats at Elland Road.”
Souness reacted to the footage and had a big laugh and smile about it as tensions soared through the ceiling.
“He’s not happy, is he?”
Passion or too much?
Phil Hay shared that it was a Leeds fan that Orta was being held back from, and that is where he probably took it too far.
When working in such a high position at a huge club, you have to expect critics, and no-one will know that more than Orta after his first couple of years at the club.
Yes, Bamford’s goal was a huge moment for everyone inside Elland Road, but everyone was looking at Orta with some embarrassment in their eyes.
Angus Kinnear was hiding that with a smile alongside his fellow chief, and he can’t have been happy the longer it went on.
Orta must learn to control himself at certain times, we all love to see passion, but when you have to be held back from going for one of your own, you have to start asking questions.
