Flump Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Written in today's Daily Telegraph "There has been much debate over the past couple of weeks about the validity and fairness of the play-offs. Last week I refereed my first play-off match at Ashton Gate. Despite my refereeing experiences around the world I cannot recall a greater contrast between players than at the final whistle, Bristol City who had scored two late goals to qualify were ecstatic while all connected with Hartlepool were in despair. The noise within the stadium when the two home goals went in was incredible and compared favourably with a full Nou camp for a Champions League quarter final." Let's hope we can recreate the atmosphere from last week on Sunday!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Amazing! especially when you consider that John Turner apparently claimed on Radio Bristol that the stadium was "half empty" by the time we equalised! :@ :@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Even more amazing considering some were too busy sulking to cheer the first goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezey Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Graham Poll really has gone up in my estimation following his comments. To often premier league referees feel the nationwide leagues are beneath them and make snide comments like the guy we had at Swindon away (Name fails me!) It just goes to show how the crowd can make a difference though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcityup Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I actually thought he refereed the game very well compared to Mr Taylor. Ok so Poll made a few minor mistakes BUT every referee makes them in matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ciderhead Reynolds Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 top man , shame we cant get more people to now join in with chants through out the game and not just when we score , ive watched the recording of the game many times now , and once we had equalised i noticed fans through out the dolman chanting and singing , not just Block B , so i wonder why they cant be more vocal throughout , it showed they knew the words but its beyond me why someone would just rather be sat in silence for the whole game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
