The Poolie Bunker

Fuck off.

Yes that's right fuck off.

How can they EXTEND Collin's ban on the back of that evidence? He throws is arm across yes to block Barnard's run, but it is not clear that his elbows him you can't really tell. Fair enough reject the appeal but what is the extra game all about. They had one camera angle to work with. The ref and linesman had three goes at sending the right player off at the time and Barnard who went down like he'd been snipered by a Jap didn't even require treatment once the red card came out.

Oh and just to cheer us up the Peter Pan of football Joey Barton was today cleared for the incident against Aston Villa when he clearly threw a punch in his own penalty area. Why? wait for it because the TV evidence was 'inconclusive' I mean I only saw it from four different angles at the time within a minute on Sky and I bet there was only about 30 cameras at the match I bet the thug hopes these daft twats are on the jury in his court case and Sky where showing live coverage from the Kebab shop the time.

One rule for one, one for another.

How many times has this club been screwed by fucking referees and linesmen (Cardiff, QPR, now Southend) etc.

FA, YOU'RE AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see the official site now has a clip including a close up...

I still reckon that it shouldn't have been a sending off based upon what I've seen.

I also fail to see how the FA can justify increasing his ban if the only evidence they've seen is that from the clip in the link.

HUFC should threaten to do a Leeds on them and take them to court.

By the way, I asked on another thread but haven't had an answer yet- can anybody tell me who the bastad ref was?

Not just Pools Mr shouty all the lower league clubs get the shitty end of the stick.

Which appeal/charge do you reckon they spent more time over ours or Joey fucking Barton's? Did they think if they charged him he was going to go the way of his brother and plunge an ice pick into there heads? The arrogance of calling the appeal 'frivolous' is astounding when you bear in mind we had to pay £500 for the honour.

I don't know his name mr ripper but the ref was that one who looks about 12 years old and referees like it........

I doubt that the FA read this board, however you could call them on 020 7745 4999

I was at the match on Saturday & didn't see the incident, however the video evidence on the official site shows Lee Barnard to be a theatrical cheat.

The referee was a G.L. Ward, I think the linesman was the person really at fault (not sure if this was JM Hayto or DS Margetts).

I think it was Pools getting the rough end of the stick on Saturday - the treatment that Barker got was diabolical & no decisions went his way. I thought Barker had a good game on Saturday by the way.

Get used to it, we'll never get owt off officials, the FA, the League or the fookin' Samaritans. Never did, never will. They might as well start handicapping the league and maybe one day they will. Leeds will get their fifteen points back and we'll get shit on. It's the way of the world.

Our day will come.

100 percent with PJ here. Disgrace.
