Football supporters up and down the country are sick and tired of having matches ruined by Graham Poll's hijacking of the game in order to massage his ego. Week after week this official ignores the laws of the game purely in order gain another few column inches.
Incredibly, anyone within the game who criticises this pompous, arrogant nonentity is likely to find themselves facing a fine or a ban for bringing the game into disrepute - something Poll does on a weekly basis without censure.
It's an expensive business watching football and if you're paying £800 a season the least the authorities can do is provide officials who will referee matches according to the laws of the game rather than according to their own, warped agenda. Anything less just shows contempt for the paying public.
The feedback confirms that I am far from the only one frustrated by these officiation standards. I am currently compiling a list of specific incidents to send directly to the authorities.

The bloke is a total embarrassment to the league. Every week he thinks the fans paid to watch him instead of the players. Time to go.

Ridiculous officiating. Ruined the game last weekend and it needs to stop before someone really gets hurt by his ego.
