An update on the life and fortunes of Graham Poll.The FA have backed him up absolutely in the McFadden Red Card controversy.Interestingly now Everton are considering fining McFadden for his part in the row.
Poll himself says..
"It is our job now. The scrutiny on everyone in the game is relentless and that creates pressure. At one time you never recognised a referee at all. Now we are in the media and named if we are seen as having done something wrong. We have not asked for it. It has been thrust upon us. Some like it more than others."
His next match is Manchester City's home game with Newcastle United and whatever the outcome of that game one thing is certain - he won't shirk any big decision.
