JOSE MOURINHO SHOULD be banned for six games after again being sent to the stands at Old Trafford, according to former referee Graham Poll.
The Manchester United manager kicked a water bottle in anger after Paul Pogba was booked for diving during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with West Ham, and subsequently ordered off the touchline by match official Jon Moss.
Mourinho has already been dismissed at Old Trafford this season and was handed a one-match ban – and £50,000 fine – for comments made to referees Anthony Taylor and Mark Clattenburg during 0-0 draws with Liverpool and Burnley.
Poll feels referees, notably Moss, who did similar to Mourinho when West Ham visited last season, are quickly growing tired of Mourinho’s antics and the Football Association should go hard on the coach for yet another offence.
“United fans may well say that referees are treating their manager more harshly than others but for far too long his excesses were either ignored or tolerated,” Poll wrote in the Daily Mail.
“Referees have had enough of the clear lack of respect the Portuguese displays, none more so than Moss, who also dismissed him last season.
“So now referees are doing their jobs it’s time the FA did theirs. A six-game stadium ban might just do the trick.”

He’s an embarrassment to the game and that club.
The man is a controversy magnet.
That’s enough about Poll …
Throw the book at him
He kicked a bottle big deal!
Graham poll writes for the daily mail. That tells you how seriously you should take his opinion.
Sent to the stands for abusing a water bottle??
If that law was strictly applied in the premiership we’d have football management by satellite and Arsene Wenger would be doing life in San Quentin.

Graham Poll. The only ref who issues 3 yellow cards to the same player.
Would he ever just grow up and stop acting the nob. He must be trying to become the most unlined manager of all time
Unliked
He’s acting like a.big baby but to sent to the stand for kicking a bottle ?
The special one my arse not so special now
Why is that Derek ????? Does kicking a water bottle change the History books !
Think you’ve already said that on another thread Derek. You need to come up with some new lines man :-)
@ron koeman Showing anger is not the way to get results and sets bad example for kids 3 match ban not long enough
Imagine the furore if he kicked the bucket!!!!
Also does Poll think that kicking a water bottle is the equivalent to a head butt. Didn’t Pardew get a 6 games ban.
Hate him or love him the fa are going over the top if you ask me
