On This Day
Tommy Docherty's Villa lose for the first time under his stewardship and the first time in six games after conceding a goal in the 90'+5 minute as his controversial time-wasting tactics come back to haunt them.
As a result of the reverse, Villa make it seven wins, eight draws and thirteen defeats in twenty eight division two games so far this season and are still deep in relegation trouble.

What they Said
โIt was diabolical.
โThe referee [Pat Partridge] told Brian Tiler he would carry on playing until 5 o'clock if necessary.
"I admit we deliberately wasted time at Carlisle recently, but we didnโt do anything like that in this game.
โI feel really sorry for the lads. They fought hard, were the better teen and deserved a draw at least.
โItโs sickening to lose like that.
โI think 23 could be suffering now from a all the publicity given to the time wasting in that Carlisle match"
Tommy Docherty.
"I gave the Villa captain fair warning about his team's time wasting tactics.
"If you look at the rules you will find I'm entitled to add on time for anything I consider to be time wasting.
โVillaโs methods of wasting time were too numerous for me to be specific about them."
Referee Pat Partridge โjustifiesโ his actions.
