Poll is the biggest tosser of all time??

So... Is this opinion related to your doubts that Poll can be telling the truth about how things are dished out by refs?

Or are you just offering a useless opinion, just for the hell of it?

No it wasn't just. The fact that he has come out and said that straight away is totally unproffesional of him. It basically outlines and maybe justifies the fact that as we like to believe referees are bias towards some teams and players. Something which I believe he was to the big four in his referee career. Thus making him a tosser in my opinion

If you think he was prone to bias, in his career, 'tosser' or not, doesn't that point to some sort of mandate that refs seem to have? The unspoken rule, perhaps? And, perhaps, Dowd has had enough and wants to play the game fair, after much critiques of refs.

Poll, seems to me, just saying what is natural now. He is no longer a 'professional' within the boundaries of the game (or pitch) and can say what he likes... Like the truth.

Was watchin that. He deffo said what Bigga posted. He went on to say He red carded John Terry a few years ago and was straight away investigated(or words to that effect), obvo making refs think twice on who they book i e "the England captian".

He's still an arsehole though

Poll has a major gripe with Chelsea and Terry though, I'd take his words with a pinch of salt.

Did he say Terry should have got a straight red or the standard three yellows anyway?

Can't remember to be honest, I'd had a magic cig ;)
