Allardyce to punish players for dissent

Bolton manager Sam Allardyce has vowed to punish the players booked for arguing with referee Graham Poll – although he made it clear he also disagreed with many of the official’s decisions in a 2-1 defeat at Fulham.

Poll booked more than half the Bolton side – which will now trigger an automatic £25,000 fine – and sent off El-Hadji Diouf after the final whistle as the complaints about his performance continued.
