[Alan Partridge]

Poll apart from not giving us a pen had an excellent game v Charlton, no problem with this.

I REALLY don't understand the fascination with Graham Poll in this country there are FAR FAR worse referees than him,

[Royalee]

I don't understand what everyone has against Poll. He's not done much wrong recently and I'd much rather have him then some tosser like Styles or Riley.

[Mr Angry]

This is a positive thing for us; he will probably cause Mark Hughes to spontaneously combust during the game!!!

[SpaceCruiser]

Still no Stephen Bennett, must be a good thing.

LOL and of course he`ll be blamed for that lurve thing he has with the Harps.

[Silver Fox]

Best referee in England

Or 'Pierre Luigi' Gallagher

[M4 Junction 11]

I agree with the comments made above that there are a lot worse than poll. We can't sing your worse than graham poll again

[Dirk Gently]

I'd be happy to have some tosser like Rob Styles on Saturday - he's proved that if a home crowd yells loudly enough he'll give them a penalty, so I'd happily have him for all our home matches.

Remind me, how did Spurs score against us?

We need to yell louder.

Some other interesting appointments:
Graham Poll is mere
4th official for Monday nights game At Fulham V middlesboro.Rare he does that maybe Hacketts bringing his ego down a peg.
On saturday Mike Riley has been given Lincoln v Grimsby (Chortle)
Rob Styles has Man city v Spurs...Home banker then!

[Victor Meldrew]

Best referee in England

Is that saying much?

[Y25]

Poll is a knob but not as bad as most make out

Uriah Rennie has gone right down in my estimations since weve been promoted

and Styles is a knnt

[AbovetheI]

Graham Poll is the best referee in this league.

[royals pete]

This thread is a virtual report of the one pre his last game with us.

He's a good ref really...he really shouldn't be needed on Saturday !!!

[KC Royal]

This will be the 2nd successive Royals match I will have been to where Poll has been the ref. I await the chants of "You're worse than Graham Poll" with interest

[glass half full]

Graham Poll is the best referee in this league.

Howard Webb is the best referee in this league - by a country mile.

[Dirk Gently]

Graham Poll is the best referee in this league.

Howard Webb is the best referee in this league - by a country mile.

Agreed! The fact that no-one notices his refereeing says it all.
