Newsflash: ref has shocker in Aus vs another team!!

Once again, Australian Round Ball Footy fans were treated to a succession of bewildering ‘judgement’ calls by the ref, this time it was pommy bastard Graham Poll.

Among the lengthy list of dubious decisions made in the Croatia game, we offer you some highlights:

· Inaugural winner of Round Ball Footy’s Dirtiest Player Ever award, Josip Simunic, tries to kick Hero Timmy in the face, inside the penalty box, pommy bastard awards dirty Simunic a free kick.

· Simunic (dirty, as mentioned above) crash-tackles the V-Bomber, again inside the penalty box. Spot kick? What are you, a European club?—it seems that Dukes is lucky not to get a red for diving.

· Some fucker takes a piggy-back on the V-Bomber, Dukes fouled for ‘backing into the man’.

· Simunic pulls Mega Fauna to the ground (pictured), proceeds to chop down ‘Arry. Even Graham ‘Pass it under the table’ Poll sees that one: second yellow for Dirty Simunic.

· 1+1=2; 2 yellows=1 red; red card=send-off. ‘Not on my watch’, says Poll (apparently he was refereeing this game—I’m not sure this display qualifies as refereeing): Simunic continues on.

· In the dying stages, as a Bresciano cross comes in, Mega Fauna is completely taken out again, leaving Timmy to run into an open net. Cahill recovers his lead in the race for the Golden Boot. ‘Nah! That’s time!’, announces Poll, producing a third yellow for Simunic (dirty), but forgetting to actually blow time-off to end the game.

Thank Christ we got through!!

NB. The above list is merely a modest selection of ref blunders going against the Socceroos—in addition to the other baffling fouls against Australia in the first 2 games (as mentioned in Round Ball Footy’s earlier whinge).

In the words of Craig Foster, ‘the ref had a shocker!!’ They all have, Fozzie, they all have.
