Poll set for FIFA scrutiny
The performance of Barclays Premiership referee Graham Poll will be
analysed by FIFA before they decide what action to take after his
yellow-card blunder in last night's match between Australia and
Croatia.
Poll booked the Croatia player, Josip
Simunic, three times, only sending him off on the third
occasion.
However, there will be no immediate response from FIFA, with a
spokesman saying: "We had a first in the
history of the World Cup, unfortunately, when a player received
three yellow cards - this is a little bit too much.
"In terms of the referee, this will be analysed and we cannot make
any further statement on that."
FIFA did admit that, had Australia lost the game and gone out of
the World Cup, they would have had grounds to request a
replay.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter admits he would have expected either
one of the two linesmen or the fourth official to alert Poll to his
error.
Blatter said: "Naturally, referees are human beings and human
beings make errors and we have to work against the quota of errors
but total perfection does not exist and perhaps it's good because
if perfection did exist there perhaps would not be enough
discussion.
"I have to say I'm not surprised about the reaction. We have had
four officials and what is not understandable is that nobody
intervened.
"I can't understand - it's like a black-out that's why I say we are
all human beings.
"There are people there and one of them should have intervened and
run on to the field and said, 'Stop, stop."
Blatter would not be drawn on the consequences for Poll, adding: "I
place my trust in the referees committee. I think they have enough
tact to deal with this case.
"We should not forget that Graham Poll in this previous matches
achieved fantastic things.
"Of course, we cannot excuse it but we should understand it."
