Excellent find DC. I agree with Randy too, I always respected Poll for his strategy in that match and it's good to hear exaclty what happened from the man himself. I think more refs should take this course of action for matches that are likely to get out of hand. I wouldn't mind also if refs for youth matches, U-20, U-17 and so on would adopt this kind of attitude. You're guaranteed to get some crazy tackles early but why can't they show some discretion? Some of these lads are 15 and 16, are you telling me they are experienced enough to handle high pressure situations right from the get go?
