Could there be a worse choice as cup final ref? Thank **** Poll has retired cos he's the only one I can think of!
The guy hasn't made it a secret the fact that he hates us. What was wrong with Atkinson? He had a good game on Sunday
There isn't a worst choice. He has a track record backdating years and only if Poll were to come out of retirement could things get worse. This season alone he has: - Booked Torres for diving when it was a stonewall pen - Booked Luiz for diving when it was a stonewall pen - Awarded United a penalty for Nani tripping over his own feet Past seasons: - Sent off Ashley Cole and awarded Villa a last minute pen when the ball hit his chest (2008) - Sent off Carvalho in the same game for kicking the ball (2008) - Awarded Spurs a penalty when the ball didn't even hit JT's arm and it wasn't even intentional - Sent off Cech for a Rodallega dive in what should have been a yellow at best, never a clear goalscoring opportunity in a month of Sundays The list just goes on really
You have to remember, he will probably have a world wide audience of 3-400 million people and I think he wouldn't want to make himself look stupid on such a big stage! It might be the end of a career move! Remember Ovrebo?
