The Joy of Liverpool FC

Poll proves a prat again

Ok, there can be little doubt that our defence was crap in yesterday's 3-0 defeat to the toffeenoses. But what was amazing was that Graham Poll was allowed to referee another match in professional football. After the World Cup debacle Poll is back on form screwing up games.

For the first goal, Leon Osman clearly impeded before the ball made its way to Johnson. Before the second goal, Xabi Alonso was wrestled to the ground! And how he missed Hibbert's handball for the penalty shout is amazing in ineptitude.

Ok we were awful, but given the psychological impact of those decisions on the game, Poll's gross incompetence is again costing teams points.

PS - Nice to see Reina is continuing with the policy of giving other teams a goal a game...
