Well the ref has been sent home now

Blundering English ref sent home

June 25, 2006

REFEREE Graham Poll has been red-carded for his deplorable handling of the Australia-Croatia match and will be sent home from the World Cup.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter called Englishman Poll's handling of the match "inexcusable".

However, he was taking a more measured line over the referee's Cup future after Australia's 2-2 draw in which Croatia defender Josip Simunic amazingly received three yellow cards before being sent off.

"Of course, we cannot excuse it but perhaps we should understand it," Blatter said.

"It simply should not have happened. We have had four officials and what is not understandable is that nobody intervened. I just can't understand it. There are people there and one of them should have intervened and run on to the field of play and said: 'Stop, stop'."

The British press went in boots and all.

London's The Sun labelled Poll the "world's dopiest ref" under a headline "Fool Poll's coming home".

With Australia saying they would have protested the result had they not reached the next round, Poll accepted that his World Cup was over.

The Premier League ref apologised for his failure to send off Simunic after a second yellow. He also missed two clear penalties in favour of the Socceroos.

After reviewing a DVD of the match, Poll said he erred in not sending off Simunic and wished other referees the best of luck.

Former World Cup ref Clive Thomas said Poll's performance was one of the worst in history.

"It was pretty grim," he told the Sun.

Are you retarded? Schwarzer was collected by two Japanese players who had no sight for the ball at all.

Excellent. Inexcusable is right! The entire match was officiated terribly.

Poll's performance was amazing compared to Mr. Ivanov's tonight...if he doesn't get sent home, it'll be a travesty.

My morning paper declared 15 out of the 16 yellows to be correct decisions...

I thought pretty well the same. They were whining on ITV that the ref had made a rod for his own back, especially by booking two in the first five minutes, but with one of them (the assault on Cristiano Ronaldo) being probably worthy of a red card, what else could he do?

I agree with what you're saying in principle, but assault on Cristiano Ronaldo should never, ever be punished

Dont mean to be picky but it was Stefan Thomas who was trying out for the centre-half back position with those spoils

Most were definitely correct. I thought he got Boulahrouz's second (the elbow) wrong and there were two instances of not giving up the ball quickly enough (one of them the Deco sending off) that were plain childish to give a card for, but other than that the blame is with the players. Disgraceful behaviour. Some of them even got away with murder during a few brawls (Ooijer).

As I said at the time - personally I'd give the perpetrator a coconut.

Indeed, I mean Materazzi will now miss quite possibly the biggest game of his career.

I love the way when the europeans want a free kick they jump on the ball and pick it up... a few steps after any contact with another player.
