Is Graham Poll possibly the worst referee EVER?

[Jam The Man]

Seems like he's a Palace fan too...

I can't recall seeing him have a good match ever.. plus how can he get away with calling players divers.. if a player had a go at a ref he'd be fined and banned. PLUS (!) he admitted that earlier in his career he booked and sent off players for no reason to gain a reputation. This is corruption and should not be in football.

Good referee, he just loves himself too much

 

[ciderred]

He's a quality ref , he reffed our second leg game against hartelpoo and was a breath of fresh air compaired to the normal terrible referees we get in this division. Even more worryingly we have one tommorow!! Richard Beeby , he reffed the game between us at ashton gate and wasnt to bad but isnt rated very highly in rate the ref.

 

[Incredigull]

Is there another Poll coming on ??

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

hasn't he been englands representative for major competitions in the past?
not a bad ref in my eyes

 

[Scoffers]

Poll is a top rated ref, he just made a mistake with the penalty, everyone's human, it's only cost West Ham £20 million pounds.

 

[Easy 10]

Poll is a bloody good ref...you can't decide he's crap just cos of a dodgy non-penalty. He gets most things right, and thats why he is one of our top referee's. "Worst Ever" ?? Don't be bloody ridiculous.

Yes, it was probably a pen. But he has to be SURE in his own mind that it was a pen, and he does not have the benefit of 6 different slow-motion angles from Sky Sports.
