No wonder refs get slagged off...

[Jam The Man]

...when you've got muppets like Poll in charge.

Best ref in the country my arse.

 

[Jam The Man]

Of course, when you've got a***holes like Vieira cheating, it makes it more difficult

 

[Bwian]

And fat wankers like Gooney on the pitch. If Poll had any bottle he'd have sent the little fat f*** off.

of course if he had he may have been Poll Axed!

I thought he was superb tonight, in rather tricky circumstances.

 

[paulharvey]

He did a rather spiffing job

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

manure's tactics were spto on- the cheating bastards. wind-up the arses in first half and suck them dry in the second. poll is a spinless manure loving tosser. rooney and keane should have been sent off in the first half. the abuse they aimed at poll was unreal, any other players in any other team would have gone. plus blatant pen. if poll didn't see what was the lino doing?

 

[trueblue]

I thought Poll was excellent, although he blotted his copybook by not giving Arsenal that first half penalty. Just shows whata tough job it is though - maybe if Cole had stayed on his feet shortly before, Pires might have got the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Poll is an attention seeking twat who thinks he is as bigger a star as the players.

The way he was giving mindless free kicks even when the team had the ball completely broke up Arsenal's fluid football.

Some of the decisions were shocking.

How he missed that penalty I will never know. If he couldnt see there was his assistant referee or perhaps, being that he is supposedly the best ref in the county, he should make sure he is in a good position.

Should have booked Cole and Veira for blatant diving as well.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Could have clamped down on the diving, yes, but in real-time, that's a nightmare to be sure about. I thought the defender nicked the ball for the "pen".

 

[Brighton Breezy]

It was a definite penalty and Silvestre got nowhere near the ball.

Poll did not give a free kick for either the Cole of Viera dives so he must therefore be assuming they dived.

 

[perth seagull]

Poll and the linesmen made some individual errors but at least they generally kept control of the match.

The same can't be said of Mike Riley the last time these two sides met in the league...

 

[Sweetie]

Why oh why could that game not have had that wanker Dermot Gallagher last night!

 

[Fluffster]

Considering it was all kicking off BEFORE the kick off to keep any sort of control over the match was an achievement in itself.

They were dives but in other cases its not as clear cut as freekick or dive. If there was a yellow card for 'diving' every time someone fell over and it wasnt a foul there would be very few players left on the pitch!
