Gribz 850 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 What about the Togo manager who turned up wearing Jeans on the touchline on there first match - hilarious! Was told to wear something else on the next game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudbertz 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Absolutely, i mean i know the players had similar names but thats why you write down there name and shirt number when you book them. Amateur stuff from the man. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmidd 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 He booked Simunic of Croatia twice, didn't send him off. He then booked him a third time, then sent him off! Missed a couple of stone wall penalties as well....the swine! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gersfem 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 It was the worst refereeing in a game of football i have witnessed in a long time. What about him giving that guy 3 yellow cards and then sending him off? that was a shocking decision 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 8,078 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 I missed the games last night, what did Poll do that was so pish? Where do I start Basically booked a Croat twice but didn't send him off - the Croat player then just about scores what would have been the winner - then commits a foul and is given his 3rd yellow card, followed, at last, by a red... !! Poll had already sent off another 8 players by then (well, that is a bit of an exageration, but it was hard to keep count of the yellows and reds he was flashing about).

Laudbertz 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I think 3 players were actually sent off in the end, not sure though. God only know's how many yellows were had, i got confused in the end. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudbertz 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 However, for Poll it probably represents the end of his World Cup. Having rejected a couple of clear Australian penalty claims and also not been informed by his assistant that Kewell was marginally offside when he fired home the crucial goal, Poll was already having a bad night when he brandished a yellow card in Josip Simunic's face for a foul on Kewell. The Melbourne-born centre-half should have been accompanying previously dismissed team-mate Dario Simic and Aussie defender Brett Emerton into the changing rooms as Simunic had already been shown one yellow card, a fact not lost on Mark Viduka. "I was sure it was his second," said Viduka. "I asked Graham how many cards had Simunic received. Graham said only one. It looks like he got it wrong." Poll did get it wrong - badly wrong by allowing Simunic to remain on the pitch, only realising his error after the final whistle when he produced a third yellow card and promptly dismissed the defender. I forgot Emerton was the other one who was sent off. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt that was a bit harsh;) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
