Refs at WC2006 told to watch out for Crouch

[boss]

I guess the referee for our match didn't get the memo 

Poll: Refs told to watch Crouch
05/09/2007 - 08:57:03 

Former World Cup referee Graham Poll has claimed the game’s top officials have been told to “look out for” England striker Peter Crouch.

Poll says referees in Germany last summer were told to keep a close eye on the Liverpool forward because of his playing style.

Liverpool forward Crouch is suspended for England’s Euro 2008 qualifier with Israel on Saturday.

Poll told BBC Radio Five Live: “At the World Cup last year we were shown videos of games and the head of refereeing at FIFA said: ’Look at this big fella Crouch, he’s a real pain and he’s getting away with too much. We need to mark him out as a player we need to look out for’.

“Crouch has been picking up cautions and is out of Saturday’s match.

“We watched England’s warm-up games, and had been out there for two or three weeks before, and it was pointed out the way he used his arms. I tried to defend him, being English.”

that boat sailed over a year ago
great timing Mr Poll

it would be a VERY different story if this was mentioned soon after the TnT/England Game.

[Johpants]

I doh use the word 'hate' generally. I don't even really feel it if I read about him or anything but although the boat gone more than a year now, everytime I see that man on a field I just can't help myself but say 'I hate he boy!'.

[capodetutticapi]

brent shoulda cuff him in he frikkin stones.

[Midknight]

Tiefing goat !

[Dutty]

Say what allyuh want eh. Crouch have skills. I find that England used him too one-dimensionally (Liverpool does too) and the last game he played in the WC against Protugal showed why he was on the England squad in the first place.

All that being said. he could still haul he mudda...

[Ngozi]

still cyah understand how the ref could miss that

[Bakes]

still cyah understand how the ref could miss that

Because he was trailing the play and the players had their backs to him perhaps?

can he score from outside the pk box?

given his height, is he a good header of the ball?

can he beat his marker?

is he pacy?

is he strong?

is he clinical?

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, !!!!


fed up tell yuh all he is and ever will be is "has a nice touch for a big man"..

LOL

Any luck getting the Spanish league?

[supporter]

Crouch is an untalented, lanky, overrated piece of trash. The End.

[Brownsugar]

still cyah understand how the ref could miss that

I say the replay of the game some months ago and I looked at the moment he scored and to be fair it happened so quickly and it was not very obvious.  Also, depending on the position of the ref, he could have missed it. 

That being said.....Crouch you is ah long tiefing mutant!!!.....

What a hell of a shtihong.

I not saying the man is Pele, or even Rooney. All I saying is that he not useless. - at least vs Jamaica.

[just cool]

JMO, I think crouch has a nice touch, no kicks, and i would go further to say, to me he's better than shriek, is agile for a big man, and find's the back of the net fairly easily, and even though he pulled sancho's dreads and scored, doesn't negate the fact that he's a skilled player, it just mean's that he's cheaky and yuh have to watch him closely. but i rate crouch as a good ball playing big man, and to besides , it's our fault for letting sancho mark the giant instead of our 6-7" mini giant, but say what , yuh live and learn.                   positive.

Good post...as much as I was livid when he pull Sancho hair...especially since he scored on the play, yuh have to grudgingly admit that shit like that happens on the pitch.  It doesn't make it right, but it puts his actions in the proper perspective...alongside the rest of the 'dirty' or borderline behavior on the pitch, no different.

The man have good skills, especially for someone as tall and as ungainly as he is...appears to be when he's running.  He's as out of place on the pitch as a fat man playing competitive basketball...we not used to seeing it, but the touch (both scoring and on the ball) and talent is apparent for the objective eye to discern.

[Small Magician aka Wazza]

haha hear dese fuking jokers... yall have me agreeing  with bake and shark lol..

Crouch= Great goal scorer..

A strikers job...score goals ..you fukin retards

Ruud...great goal scorer

Stern...great goal scorer..

even though you may call them "goats"... they produce goals as they do their job better than many many strikers... a great goal scorer is a striker that can be present for 5 mins out of 90 but yet scores 1 or 2 goals which bags 3 points

so once again you assholes on this forum proved to the world that trini's dont know shit about the game

[weary1969]

Watch out and doh say nutten was in we referee memo.

[berris]

Yuh cyar vex with Crouch, he do wha he hah to do to score,is up to the ref to blow de whistle ...but is Sancho I vex wid, ah mean oh gawd man after the man pull he dread  Brent shudda rest de hurt on him. He had other opportunies to tackle him .I eh care if he get send off ,at least leh him feel it on de pitch for wha he do.. good for one good for all ..I personally wudda break he foot sure sure sure and tek meh red card.We only leh de man geh way.

Ah really woulda prefer to use mih 1999th post for something more edifying than this but tough...

SM, yuh know I respect your passion and what not, but yuh should try taking yuh head out ah england ass for a little while and look around you from time to time...

As a trini you should know the difference between critical judgement and mauvais langue. When you doh like a man, yuh doh like him. Obviously if I call the man a goat, and leave it there without going into any explanation, it doh necessarily reflect on the man true capacities.

Dat is why men like Disgruntled could pound Stern day in and day out. Stern take he gyul and nothing he do on the field could change how Disgrunteld see him. Crouch stunt against Sancho just make all who didn't like him before sure to never like him. He could win world player of the year and he will still be a "goat". Doh take it on.

Let me give you a parallel. Is the same blasted way all yuh English partners could spend months before every world cup trying to convince everybody that their players and team is the best in the world (Crouch included) They doh really mean it. Is just "bling patriotism" to quote somebody ah know.

So all of it is just "pure hate". Crouch is better than a lot of we give him credit for and worse than a lot of other people give him credit for Is things like that that does make this place interesting. Doh take it on. If you want to discuss football "seriously" as yuh say, go find one of your English forums , but doh believe that being English necessarily mean knowing everything there is to know about football either.

Cos it sure as hell doh mean knowing how to win a World Cup anytime soon.

Ta-ta

you hit de nail on day head

[Johpants]

Great post Midknight! You didn't waste your approaching milestone post, I think that edifying the young is what we need more of. I'm sure that with more experience and time Small Mag will have a more balanced view of things in general but good on you to start the ball rolling for him. The question now is who is there in this virtual family to help him broaden his vocabulary?

[Feliziano]

allyuh still bitching at Crouch..steups
dat hair pulling and worse does happen all the time and go unnoticed.

anyway.. Crouch have a nice touch for ah big man 
he is we secret weapon for Champions League..dat is why he ent getting a sweat in de EPL
