Jose Mourinho criticises the standard of Turkish refereeing after Fenerbahce's draw with Galatasaray
After the match, Mourinho praised referee Vincic's performance - saying things would have been different with a Turkish official. He then said that the home team's bench were 'jumping like monkeys'.
'I must also thank the referee,' said the former Man United, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea boss.
'He had enough honesty to manage this match well. They tried to get a yellow card for our 18-year-old player from the first minute, but the referee managed the game well.'
'Everyone on the opponent's bench was jumping like monkeys. If it were a Turkish referee, they would have immediately given the card, and I would have had to take the player off in a minute.'

Jose was sent to Turkey for this singular observation and statement , the level of corruption there is mind blowing , everything done to promote one team , it’s as if they have bought all the league and the others just come to play . He knows what he’s saying and they know what he’s saying , this is not race , because Turkey is not full of a particular race . Or tribe . But yes , he has cast doubt on the integrity of officiating in the league and would be treated for this slanting . . I pity them when he leaves , everyday he would have one joke or the other over the quality of thier league , they better accept him and keep him because the Pro league needs his endorsement there , he choose Turkey to stay in Europe . It’s there loss and shame if they let him go and they don’t cause the reforms he’s crying about
