JOSE MOURINHO has continued his vendetta against Super Lig referees with an extraordinary rant.
The Special One branded the Turkish top flight “toxic” after his side Fenerbahce beat Hatayspor 2-1 over the weekend.
Mourinho fumed that Hatayspor should have been “down to eight players” after a series of bad challenges.
He raged: “If the opponent’s colours were different, they could have been down to 8 players.
“We know the toxic league we play in.
“They know how to play against us, how to play against the opponent.
“There should have been 5 reds [in a previous game against Eyupspor] and this match.”
The Portuguese coach was back on the offensive Wednesday after a heated encounter between Galatasaray and Istanbul Basaksehir.
During the 2-2 game, former Fenerbahce star Miguel Crespo was taken out by a bad tackle from Abdukerim Bardakci.
The Galatasaray man went unpunished, prompting another referee rant from the Special One.

Mourinho shared a video of the studs up tackle to his 6 million Instagram followers.
The clip was captioned: “Dear @miguelcrespo_ofifical I hope you are well and your shin pads are made of carbon.”
One fan responded: “No red card was given, Jose continues to defend Fenerbahce’s rights until the end.”
Another wrote: “Mourinho’s career in Turkey – 10 per cent coach, 90 per cent showman.”
While a third commented: “Josè Savage Mourinho.”
But a fourth countered: “He plays the ball first! Mourinho is crying again like he always does to cover up his unsuccessful season!”
JOSE MOURINHO launched a sarcastic blast at ref Clement Turpin after he was red-carded in his clash with former club Manchester United.
The Fenerbahce boss saw his side fight back to earn a point as United tossed away the lead for a third successive drawn Europa League match.
Mourinho was sent to the stands after raging against Turpin’s failure to award a penalty against Manuel Ugarte for a challenge on Bright Osayi-Samuel.
And Mourinho scowled: “The referee told me something incredible. He said at the same time he could see the action in the box and my behaviour on the touchline.
“I congratulate him because he is absolutely incredible. During the game, 100 miles per hour, he had one eye on the penalty situation and one eye on my behaviour on the bench. That’s the explanation he gave me.
“That is why he is one of the best referees in the world!”
Fenerbache are currently locked in a title battle with rivals Galatasaray.
Mourinho’s men have lost just twice all season, but find themselves 8 points adrift of top spot.
The ex-Man Utd coach recently confirmed he had undergone minor surgery over the festive period.
He wrote on Instagram: “For those of you who have shown concern, I can confirm reports of my surgery have been greatly exaggerated, it’s just a quick and minor procedure.
“I will resume training on the first day back from the holidays, as always.
“I’ve never missed a session in 25 years, and I don’t intend to start now. JM.”
While reports on Thursday suggest Everton could be eyeing up the Special One as a replacement for Sean Dyche.
