What they Said
โVillaโs time wasting tactics in the last quarter of an hour were diabolical.
โIf I had to depend on football like that to get results, I'd rather be sweeping streets.
"They used all the spoiling tactics you can think of. In the first few minutes, I heard someone shout from the trainer's bench: 'Kick for the corner flag.'
"My players were upset by the persistent fouling and the referee's failure to stamp it out.
"The people I feel sorry for are the Aston Villa players. They can't enjoy carrying out tactics like that.
"It was hardly the sort of entertainment either, we wanted to give a crowd of 12,500 - Our biggest of the season."
Bob Stokoe.
"We are all professionals and professionals don't like losing.
"But I really don't want to get involved in any arguments.
โQuite frankly, I thought we were the better side after the first 10 minutes and deserved to win."
Tommy Docherty.
