A REFEREE support charity has criticised BBC presenter Jermaine Jenas for his comments during Sunday's North London Derby.<\/strong><\/p>\n Arsenal and Tottenham shared the spoils at the Emirates as they battled out a 2-2 draw.<\/p>\n The Gunners took the lead through a Cristian Romero own goal but Son Heung-min got Spurs level just before the break.<\/p>\n However, Arsenal regained the lead courtesy of Bukayo Saka from the penalty spot after a VAR check.<\/p>\n Romero was penalised for handball, despite official Rob Jones initially waving away protests, after the intervention of the video assistant referee.<\/p>\n That decision left many Spurs supporters raging as they questioned the intent of the defender, who had lunged in to block a shot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And that anger over the penalty even reached boiling point for 40-year-old ex-Tottenham midfielder Jenas, who now co-hosts the One Show, as he vented his fury on social media.<\/p>\n He tweeted: \u201cComplete s***house off a referee! They\u2019re all ruining our game!\u201d<\/p>\n Jenas' social media outburst prompted a serious response from RefSupportUK, a charity dedicated to independent training, support and development of referees across the country.<\/p>\n The charity replied: "This is a disgraceful tweet and you should be ashamed.<\/p>\n <\/picture>RASH CRASH <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>FIGHT CLUB <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>RASH SPEAKS <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>LOVE AND CHERISH <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n "Your tweet encourages on line abuse of referees and considering your role on TV your employers need to give their head a wobble.<\/p>\n "Remember Anthony Taylor and his family were attacked at an airport because of antics such as yours."<\/p>\n Fortunately for Tottenham, and Jenas, the visitors produced an instant response as Son grabbed his second of the game to earn his team a point.<\/p>\n Jenas has enjoyed a successful switch into the world of football punditry since hanging up his boots in 2016 at the age of 32.<\/p>\n And now the former England international midfielder is a star in the presenting world after joining Alex Jones and Ronan Keating as presenters on The One Show in 2020.<\/p>\n He began his footballing career at Nottingham Forest, making his debut as a 17-year-old in January 2001.<\/p>\n His impressive performances at Forest helped him secure a move to Newcastle United, where he made more than 100 Premier League appearances and picked up the PFA Young Player of the Year award in 2003.<\/p>\n Jenas joined Tottenham in 2005 and went on to win the 2008 League Cup, defeating Chelsea in the final.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n He later played for Aston Villa, Forest again and Queens Park Rangers before a series of injuries ended his career.<\/p>\n He played 21 times for England and was part of the squad for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, although he did not feature at the tournament.<\/p>\n ARSENAL TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: Stay up to date with all the latest transfer news and rumours from the Emirates<\/strong><\/p>\n
