Poll-ocks Part 2

I was stunned when Poll later defended his decision by claiming that he didn't disallow if for encroachment, it was because he'd blown for full time.

But he hadn't blown his whistle! And there was at least 15 seconds left in the game!

You might remember this, it was a while ago now but I was interested to see Poll provide more details about his decision:

With the game goalless, Liverpool goalkeeper Sander Westerveld collected the ball in the final seconds.

I jogged back to the centre circle, checked my watch which showed that time had elapsed and blew my whistle as I thought Westerveld had booted the ball upfield.

Unfortunately, he had kicked it into Don Hutchinson and the ball was on its way into the Liverpool goal. I stood firm and the 'goal' did not count.

I was wrong back in April 2000 and have to apologise to any Everton fans that I meet even now – they never forget!

I'd love to find a video clip [here it is, but no sound!] - I was sure he blew up after the ball had gone in. Regardless, I'm glad he's admitted now that the goal should have stood.
