\"I couldn't replay the decisions in my head because I could not recall them,\" he said. \"I was so fatigued in the 90th minute it doesn't look like [Graham Poll] refereeing. \"The first couple of days after it just came back to me over and over and over again in my mind. You think you'll wake up, it's only a bad dream, but it isn't, it's reality.\" \"I told FIFA I had no heart to ref another game in this World Cup. It wasn't them sending me home, it wasn't them saying you're rubbish, go away, they supported me fully.\"

It is reported Poll, who will be England's representative at next year's World Cup, was banned for two matches for an incident in Aldershot.

[Graham Poll] knows that to his cost. As his own website concedes, he will always be remembered for his once-in-a-26-year-career mistake during the 2006 finals when he booked Croatia's Josip Simunic three times before sending him off. \"The fourth official [US referee Kevin Stott] might have helped me out there, but didn't,\" the 46-year-old offers ruefully. And yet, in the final in Germany it was the fourth official, Luis Medina Cantalejo, of Spain, who changed the course of football history. He did so by stepping in (as will now be fully expected of the touchline referee) to alert the man in the middle, Argentine Horacio Elizondo, to Zinedine Zidane's infamous, reputation-soiling, headbutt on Marco Matterazi. Though it is widely believed the Spaniard decided to act after seeing the offence on a pitchside monitor, a fact that will never be admitted to since the use of television evidence is banned. \"Let's just say I have my suspicions since it took around a minute for him to communicate with the referee,\" Poll says. \"With so violent an action, you would have expected an instant response from the official.\"

\"It's something which should be encouraged and looked into, but not because your referees aren't good enough,\" [Graham Poll] said. \"They should be exchanged, so Craig [Thomson] should go over to referee, I don't know, Sporting against Benfica, who don't like each other, and Olegario Benquerenca [the Portuguese referee] can come over and do the Old Firm derby.\" \"You do a game, you fly out, and the stuff around it doesn't affect you,\" Poll said. \"[The Old Firm fixture] is a game referees would want to come over and do. It's a coveted appointment by the top referees in the world, because everybody knows about that derby. You could use it to get top-class referees over here, and get nice appointments for your referees in other countries.\"

I told him that, actually, I'd found his loud and large behaviour at the lunch discourteous and his arrogant attitude to his fellow referees, who all seemed decent guys, rude and patronising.
