Graham Poll
The Key Match Incidents panel began in 2023-24, after this career, so none of these matches were reviewed by it — there is no error record to show, which is not the same as a clean one. Everything below is a count: RefCard publishes errors, not an accuracy percentage, because no source publishes the denominator such a figure would need.
Season by season
| Season | Matches | Fouls/game | Yellows/game | Reds/game | Penalties | Confirmed errors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2006-07 | 32 | 27.0 | 3.28 | 0.12 | —‡ | — |
| 2005-06 | 29 | 29.9 | 3.38 | 0.14 | —‡ | — |
| 2004-05 | 31 | 28.1 | 3.26 | 0.13 | —‡ | — |
| 2003-04 | 24 | 26.4 | 2.88 | 0.04 | —‡ | — |
| 2002-03 | 23 | 26.5 | 2.65 | 0.09 | —‡ | — |
| 2001-02 | 24 | 25.5 | 2.50 | 0.21 | —‡ | — |
| 2000-01 | 23 | 29.2 | 3.30 | 0.43 | —‡ | — |
Confirmed errors are only available from 2023-24, when the Key Match Incidents panel began. Earlier seasons show the disciplinary record only. ‡ Penalties are recorded from 2023-24 onward; a dash means the figure was never collected for that season, not that none were given.

The W–D–L is the club's. Nothing here is evidence of bias — a difference this size is what chance looks like. See how that was measured.
