| Match Summary | Referee Graham Poll robs Pompey of the chance of a place in the UEFA Cup when disallowing Kranjcar's late effort for offside, a very controversial decision when one goal would have sealed Pompey's place. James saved a Baptista penalty in the first half. Joe Jrdan summed up 'The assistant referee made a controversial decision to disallow the goal. For me it was valid. But it's difficult to look at one moment and say that was has cost us a place in the Uefa Cup' Referee Poll retired after this game! |
