Low Poll rating for Graham

World Cup referee Graham Poll drew criticism from both managers after Coventry City drew 2-2 against Cardiff City on Saturday.

The Sky Blues had two late goals disallowed and caretaker boss Adrian Heath said: ‘I don’t really want to talk about Graham Poll’s performance otherwise I will get into trouble.

‘Let’s just say that I thought it was inconsistent and I could not see anything wrong with the second disallowed goal.’

Cardiff were reduced to ten men after a second yellow card for Glenn Loovens and their manager Dave Jones commented: ‘If anything we were going to go on and score a third but the sending-off changed all of that and gave them hope.

‘The second booking was deserved as it was a lazy challenge on Michael Mifsud, but the card in the first half was harsh – but then you never know what you are going to get with Graham [Poll].’
