I have refereed games before and even without checking you know who you have booked, if Mr. Poll was not sure why didn’t he check his notes, it takes 5 seconds and nobody is going to notice, that’s just sheer incompetence. Let’s also ... more ... look at the Chelsea Liverpool game in the champions league in 2005, was the ball over the line, I don’t think with all the video technology now we even know, but how can the linesman know 45 yards away, the answer to that is he cant, so why give the go...more |

Footballs certainly got a bit more popular in recent years. Yes it's always been popular in this country but now after a little bit of a dip the game is taking off again even though the money is going down. Not only are there sell out crowds in the Premiership but the Nationwide Leagues have been enjoyed increased gates over the last season. When it comes to matters on the pitch there is one man who stand between two teams. This is the man that ...
