No he doesn't. He addresses Cisse's position in relation to the keeper and that's it. In fact he absolutely ignores that there is jostling. For whatever reason he only gives half the FIFA definition of interfering with an opponent.
He makes zero mention of Cisse tugging (i.e.
"making a gesture or movement which deceives or distracts an opponent") Evans arm and being by by the letter of the law considered to be interfering with an opponent and by default therefore offside. That's the other half of the definition that Poll seems to have forgotten.
He's got this thing in his head that the only way you can interfere with an opponent is to block a goalies field of vision, and that's it. That's only half the definition of player interference.
Without doubt a blown call. Holy merde, Poll doesn't even address Fergie's argument ...... at all.
