I get the impression Jenas really doesn't like Poll...
Loud and clear! lol, they've obviously got a lot of previous
Who does?
Rugby has led the way for years with refereeing, they make everything transparent, microphones up so people can hear the explanation of why they have given a decision. Respect in rugby is far superior just because they have put the rules in and stuck by them.
Gross income is £100,000, Tax on that is around £28,000 and NI works out at £5000 so they actually only take home around £66k a year or £5.5k a month. Dunoo about everyone else but i think thats quite a small salary considering the amount of money circulating in football these days.
I bet they get free travel, match day tickets. Invites to exclusive parties/events and they are mixing with upper level people. They can secure jobs in other leagues too.
My heart bleeds
Not really, it’s a big dedication they have to stay low-key for the rest of their life because they’re constantly worried about getting attacked, not just them but imagine if they have a family? It’s really a big dedication for 66k take home pay.
£5500 a month take home : oh those poor sausages …….
And the abuse they endure week in week out
Graham Poll the 3 yellow card legend!!
Yes, well remembered in Australia for that 2006 WC game against Croatia. Simunovic almost had a full house with three yellows and a red.
@@tonychapman6334 *Simunic.
well said £100,00 a year not a week! footballers are in a bubble!
james dean sure are Rio really having a dig its such a hard job ..
Jordan Griffin doesn’t matter still too much . Should be capped. 100 big ones a week is just mental
james dean 100k a year for working 60 hours a year is bad is it? Makes me sick
Bossman 1 let's cap your wages first.
That's still alot
Jenas is riled and uncomfortable here with Poll.
Just look how uncomfortable Ferdinand & Jenas are when this conversation is brought up. Complete lack of respect towards referee's and we completely need to learn from Rugby. Also Jake Humphries trying to joke about that incident is ridiculous as it is one mistake that could have ruined his livelihood.
I'd turn your suggestion around, referees (FAs) need to learn from Rugby because in Rugby the ref actually explains his decisions, in football they don't. Getting the ref's perspective on a decision would calm down the majority of situations, whereas at the moment a decision is taken and more often than not the players involved don't know why,
It's the whole culture of the sport that is the issue though. In rugby refs explain their decisions and usually that is respected and everyone moves on. I'd love to think that would happen in football but I'm not so optimistic. If the ref gives an explanation either during or after the game for a controversial decision, won't that just give the media even more to speculate on and criticise them for? It's all about interpretation at the end of the day, and in rugby it is an accepted part of the game to learn how to play the game the way the ref is interpreting it for that particular game. In football we think everyone's opinion is equal. That's a big difference.
Totally thought the same mate...reo tried to bully him a bit here
Football is a gentlemen's game played by thugs, Rugby Union is a thug's game played by gentlemen, And Rugby League is a thug's game played by thugs.
RIO and JENAS showed their true colours here.
Yep bellenders
@@CARLIN4737Brighton fan :”0
Jenas' attitude stinks, really not prepared to give an ounce of respect there, shocking.
Why because he isn't sucking up to a referee, who thinks he is the most important part of the game instead of the players?
He practically admitted that Fergie influenced him and the other refs.
No doubt and Wenger and morinho. Journalists practically used to cream themselves whenever they spoke. Think some of the refs done the same.
The things is- what could he have done? Make a few disparaging mark about the unions and makes refs look bad. So what
Agreed. Absolutely ridiculous, calls the fairness of the sport into question for me and I reckon there ought to have been an enquiry on the back of this interview.
in my most sarcastic voice: "surely not, Everton fans are just delusional when they complain of a perceived bias towards certain clubs?"
As if we didn't know this already, but it was nice to hear someone admit it, sort of.
Always makes me laugh when United players still have an arrogant and dismissive attitude towards referees. They helped United win plenty of titles over the years.
Loool at Graham Poll calling Roy Keane, "Keano" 😂😂😂
canonogic whats funny about it ? His 2nd name with a O on the end. Hysterical
JAYW0151 Keane is probably 'Keano' to his mates. I am guessing Poll isn't his mate.
Not funny at all
canonogic I’ve heard loads of refs calling players by nick names
A wannabe celebrity ref. Keano indeed.
MIKE DEAN DEFO HAD HIS HOUSE BURGLED.
ZERO HIT no he would invite people over!😂😂😂
9.58 wasnt long enough. i was proper getting into this then it stopped kmt
Bolt thought it was long enough!
@@niallmcginley7767 niche
Can we sack Jenas... how'd he even get this job.
Vindication
Just remember no ref NO MATCH.....End Off.. they need respect..
they should stick a microphone on the referee and broadcast what they are saying along with what players are saying to them!
that would 100% increase the respect that players give refs!
no9scrum No it wouldn't. This is what a lot of people get confused with. There is a difference between respect and keeping something quiet.
@@cheesecake9638 It will increase respect because players would be exposed as bullies and thugs if they continued their behaviour
I can't think of any other sport where referees are treated this bad. Other sports like cricket, basketball, tennis, all forms of rugby, grid iron, even niche sports like weightlifting etc... There is always respect for the ref.
From grass roots to professional, every footballer has some sort of anti authoritarian complex towards refs. Lol why..
There aren't that many sports where the players think they're kings with all their money. Chavvy oik fans don't help either.
SORRY, This referee was rubbish ...
@@loungejay8555 money aside, I've played years of Sunday league soccer/football/whatever and even at under 13s the players would constantly backchat up to all age bottom division, so much disrespect to referees and conspiracy theories like "it's because he knows I'm (insert nationality) that's why he sent me off" as if trying to threaten harm to a ref wouldn't do it.
Haha because we have the most freedom to interpret the rules haha
Always disliked almost every ref in PL. I never liked him either, but i never considered him dishonest or a crook. Maybe intimidated by man utd sometimes, but a very good ref and well mannered.
100k a year!? PL refs should be making b/t 350-500k annually. attract better talent, but realistically given the money in the PL 100k is peanuts for people who have such a huge influence on the match.
Bt do some really good content besides the live footy and ufc, but they need a sports news channel asap!!! Sick of the stuffy old men talking the same old bollocks on SSN
such a hard job ..
Referees at that level should be getting paid so much more than $100k a year. Damn.
Graham Poll the only man in history to show 3 yellow cards for a red
Love that little dig back at rio spat my drink out hahaha
I’m 13 and doing my referee course and coaching badges at 15 I have a good understanding of the game and my motivation is a love for football and the 20 quid a week
good insight
I would happily take 100 grand a year even if was hated every week.
😂👍🏾
Real talk
Wouldn't we all. Seriously good money.
Wait, Graham knows exactly how many matches he was a referee in a manchester united game? Fishy
Proud
I really got this in my recommended today
understand it's a difficult job but strongly disagree that the standard hasn't dropped. In recent years referees seem to make more and more mistakes than ever before. I think since VAR was introduced, which was meant to reduce mistakes, we've seen more than ever.
Rio the same guy who cheated on his wife when she was alive? He needs to be careful when he says stuff.
If I had his money and clout I'd do the same
Great referee Graham poll well done
Easy fix, pay prem refs more money. They and the assistants easily have the toughest jobs on the pitch.
Rio Ferdinand is a flute
Magic flute!😉 Chris Sutton for me I just can't stand the bloke.
Chris Sutton for me I just can't stand the bloke
Rio “ 100k a year is good money “ 😂
Man city will win the Premier league :,0
should be on much more than 100k a year cant even lie
that's a good wage for about 3 to 4 days of work a week.
A lot of premier refs work 13 days out of 14!
To any fan, just type in 'Mike Riley' (who is now the ref's supremo) and watch his scandalous performance in the 2004 Man United v Arsenal game. Ironic that 3 of today's pundits were involved in wholesale cheating and got away with it.
As more money is coming into the game so has cheating, diving rolling over as if they have been shot, win at all cost attitude now. The referee has a much harder job these day, than about 20 years ago.
Rio the rodent
Rio’s comment of asking Poll if he ‘had no mates when growing up’ when he became a referee is just disrespectful. No wonder there is a massive ref shortage in the UK when it’s openly mocked infront of millions on TV.
He looks like Phil Tufnell
He’s like a blend of Phil Tufnell and Right said Fred
No he doesn't
Polls reaction to no mates insult was perfect.
Refereed man u 57 times - how many of those at old Trafford? Let's say 25 -30. Ask him How many pens awarded against United at Old Trafford? My guess - 0
There is no greater love than Poll has for himself.
That’s so bs United always had the upper hand when it came to refs
They were scared of old whiskey nose.
I have to disagree with Graham at the end there. The standard of refereeing in England has declined badly
I think it´s like referees union isn´t it?
Fergie let him out of his pocket.
Another man utd ref
Jermaine hates refs! 😁
Lost a lot of respect for Jenas over this.
Rio and graham come across a lot more honest than Jermaine does
And his Toilet was Cluster Bombed by Robbie Savage!
This could've got very tasty
100k a year to turn up to a few games per week, absolutely crazy money.
Players make far more errors in a game than a referee.
That’s neither here nor there
Why is jermain jenas there lol
Rio was a bit weird & petty here compared to normal. Disappointing
Hassle on the field is easy to deal with, there's a bloody rule in place to book players who argue with the ref, refs just don't use it.
They get pressured not to use it
Tbf dont cry about your motor yeah. To much money is involved in football for your team of fellow refs to screw nearly every PL game up.
Referees probably shouldn’t be trying to be pally with players because they’re fearful of them or what not. Actually pretty grim listening to a former top referee pretty much admitting that he can be swayed by players or by Fergie in this instance. Kind of ruins the fair competitive nature of the sport.
Stop making refs into celebs. I don’t care, Graham
Nick Maurice makes 70 grand more then u 😂
Football Referees are treated with such contempt because they treat the players with such contempt and think they deserve respect when they make decisions that only benefit certain teams.
Graham Poll and 'insight' should never be in the same sentence
£135 TO GET THE LOWEST QUALIFICATION IN REFERRING NO WONDER, PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE
That Sunderland game it was the most blatant handball from Cole that they scored from it still annoys me 20 years later lol
Rio and anybody else in a man utd shirt were the worst for getting in a referees face, Ryan Giggs goes under the radar for that behaviour
Is there a video out there where Jenas doesn't put some form of blame onto someone else?
Can't stand Graham poll. Right up there with the worst refs. When he has talked about players of the past that he reffed he talks like he was in awe of them. It's a problem when refs look up to the players of the big clubs
They're only human which is what everyone seems to forget. They're trained to be objective on the pitch. It is their job.
"Keano"
Only 100k a year
Jenas has a massive chip on his shoulder.
Poll was more interested in promoting himself . Terrible ref .
100k a year + bungs
We all know No united fans would ever have a problem with the referee. Fergie had them all in his pocket, absolutely terrified of him. I’m glad he got his car attacked, biased refs are a cancer to football
ennit literally won the premier league of ref decisions... remember bentiez "fact" speech
Steve Gerrard Slippy G
@Humza. Shut up an go play cricket.
The most contradictory comment on RUclips
JD 1 Don’t get Jealous:,)
Hahahaha "I was probably as gifted as Rio" bang take that Rio!! 🤣
Lost a bit of respect for Jenas after this to be fair
Hello
Respect to refs
Graham Poll used to buy all the papers the day after he'd reffed a game to see if he was mentioned. He's a prat.
graham poll uniteds 12th man
Newcastle would agree fully!
Rio at 1.15 🤣🤣
cut short, should have let this play out
Referred Man utd 57 times Man utd won 57 times
420Sheff bollocks!
Don’t ever come to Australia Graham. What kind of referee gives 3 yellow cards? Was a joke, is a joke, will always be a joke.
Disgraceful
in the year 2169 Cr7-18C-7RZ protoype one will win the Ballon D'OR, just watch.
ĸaιne I don’t think I’ll be alive
I hope Hoddle's doing better.
Great piece. VAR hopefully will iron out quite a bit.
Haha funny that was 🤣
Worse ref in the prem
One off best refs
who gave 3 yellows to one player before sending the
player off.
Alex Smith remember this incident can't remember ref name
It was Graham Poll, WC 2006 Group Stage. Josip Simunic, Croatian Defender given 3 Yellow Cards against Australia. I just love that he got away with a double Yellow, and still got a third Yellow and sent off. And the best part of all, the second Yellow was in the 90th minute, he got a third Yellow card in the 93rd minute.
He was a waste of space!
Poll is renowned for being a knob.
BT really don’t get RUclips just make the video a couple seconds longer and get more money.
JOE ROSS ok
Most english referees are nowhere near as good as referees elsewhere in Europe. But they speak as if they are Colilina. The difference is they dont want to be criticised.
Mike Dean is weird
This guy was Utd’s 12th man
Did your job pay pay well?
Really interesting 🤔
Poll wears heels?! 😂
United were more disciplined than other teams and fouled less, so more decisions going their way than not in a season was fair. They were fouled more, since rival defenders couldn't dispossess them fairly, and this also created a perception of referee bias among inferior teams' fans. They played faster, more accurate football than other teams, so rival fans of worse teams like Liverpool etc. couldn't follow along and were often exasperated by what they perceived as a wrong decisions, when the ball was simple moving too fast for them to judge. United fans were used to this speed and so didn't have a problem. So called "Fergie Time" was a product of United's excellent fitness and mental discipline, which allowed them to score very often late in a game. Other teams may have also had very long injury times, as part of normal variation, but it wasn't noticed because they didn't score. So it was really United's overall excellence that contributed to these false accusations of bias.
Sick note Jermaine
Like his career The book will be full of mistakes !
