'... football in the island needs a clean-up...' - Jean-Luc Desbois on why it's time for change.
You know something must be bad when it's getting called 'Red Saturday' - and last month, that's exactly what Jersey football went through.
The 29th of September saw 10 players given red-cards, amid widespread reports of abuse of officials at games across the island.
Today, the Jersey FA has announced a whole host of measures it says are needed to 'clean up' the sport, after admitting football locally needs to 'catch up' with the UK. They include less tolerance of foul language; more regular use of sin-bins - and greater action against people who use social media to abuse others in the game.
Jean-Luc Desbois is the Chief Executive of the Jersey FA - and told our Sport Producer Jack Murley why they've decided to make a change.
