Graham Poll: The official line - refs treat players differently, not the laws

Gary Megson is correct when he says that referees should only give what they see and not what they think they're going to see. They are aware of the style in which players compete, but I do not believe they apply laws differently as a result. Mind games: Bolton boss Gary Megson fears refs are biased towards his striker Kevin Davies This is borne out by the fact that despite being the player who gives away most free-kicks, Davies has not been sent off for eight seasons. A referee should, as part of his preparation, make himself aware of any issues the players might have that he has been appointed to control. Hopefully, knowledge of the confrontation between Evra and Davies last season should result in some proactive measures when Bolton play Manchester United.  Megson blasts 'stats ref': Bolton fuming over treatment of Davies Sorry Fabio, but ref was spot on with Robert Green's redTime for the FA to get tough with Sir Alex  Explore more:People:Gary Megson, Kevin Davies, Graham Poll
