This is re-writing history. The way he tells it now, it was an honest mistake made by a tired and under pressure official at the end of a game. He thought Sander Westeveld had kicked the ball upfield, and seeing that time had elapsed blew the whistle, unaware of the seriousness of his action. Absolute bollocks! It wasn't a mistake at all, it was cheating of the highest order. The fourth official had indicated a minimum of of 2 minutes extra time, and we had only played 90 seconds. On slow motion TV, Poll is clearly seen blowing the whistle after the ball enters the net. He bottled it, protected one of the Sky4 and tried to lie his way out of the situation. Now he wants to re-tell the story in a version which makes him look like a decent man for owning up to a mistake. Fraud.

Absolutely correct, another mystifying decision for the Franchise
 

`i never repeated blowing up at an inappropriate time` he never saw stevie g tackle naysmith either but he did repeat the leniency shown towards gerrard like nearly all referees
 

So does he talk to the media after the game? e.g "I got it wrong, I should've given the goal". NO.

After a week of replaying the incident in his head does he then release a statement of apology and contrition? NO.

Years later when he retires, does he highlight the incident as one of his misgivings, a failure on his part? NO.

When he writes his first book as LCAB states, does he then own up to the blatant failings on his refereeing performance? NO.

**** me mate. Ten years after the fact. And he still isn't telling the truth - that he bottled it and was scared of the repercussions if one of the SKY four dropped points due to a decision he made. He could highlight the pressure that the refs are under from sponsors, the media and managers with clout like Ferguson; to always given the champions league clubs the benefit of the doubt with the whistle. No, as usual he scrapes it under the carpet.

What next, media revelations that Ian Brady is contrite about some of the bad things he did in the sixties?

Feck off Poll.
 
On the video you can see him watching the ball roll in to the net as he is blowing the whistle.

He is lying when he said he blew the whistle with his back to the ball.

It's just further proof that there is an agenda from the officials.

Every year there is the 'real' league table that takes in to account all the wrong decisions the officials made. We are usually robbed a whopping 10 points a season while the red [Poor language removed] make up 5 to 10 extra points.

I'm surprised that does not get more media time as it's quite staggering how biased the officials are.

Yep, a complete lie, he says;

I jogged back to the centre circle, checked my watch which showed that time had elapsed and blew my whistle as I thought Westerveld had booted the ball upfield.

But he is clearly looking at the incident in the video, Im going to find out his email and write to the lying ****.
 
the echo had a sports writer called Mcnulty or nulty and at the time he stated that westerveld strolled back to get the ball coz he knew the whistle had gone, the vid shows him legging it back to try and save a goal. thats the local press so what chance of a fare hearing in the national media -motd included
 

Australia vs Japan last night. We had the asian version of Graham Poll, made some shocker of decisions, hardly in control of the match.
 
Oh the life of an Evertonian...

I have so many years of referee fume built up I dont know what I'm going to do with myself.
 
Some refs you just don't believe what they say... Clattenburge for eg. Is a pure fraud, thinks hes more important than the game itself.

Others just make mistakes (there only human) but I've always said the main problem is they didn't come out and appoligise after the game... If they did people would accept it and respect them more.

Howard Webb whilst not perfect is the best ref at the moment IMO.
 
massive belter that Poll

how many times did he book that fella in the international match before sending him off ?? seven was it ??
