Livid Wenger slams Poll
24 Dec 2008 - 08:51:04
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has launched a furious tirade against former referee Graham Poll.
Poll agreed that Howard Webb was right to send off Emmanuel Adebayor in Sunday's 1-1 against Liverpool but made some controversial comments about John Terry's red card at Everton on Monday.
Poll suggested that officials could be influenced by the fact that Terry is the England captain when it comes to making difficult decisions.
A furious Wenger said: "For me it was embarrassing when you listen to that.
"They ask whether it was a sending-off or not. He (Poll) says you have to consider that you are sending-off the captain of the national team.
"What has that got to do with the rulebook? The rulebook doesn't look at passports. When you listen to that it is embarrassing for the referees.
"Is it a sending off or not? Are you from England or not from England? Are you 17 or 30? It has nothing to do with that.
"It is a big concern when you here the national number one referee talk like that."
