MATCH QUOTES

“How could I send him [Bruce Rioch after injury] into that [the punches, kicks and brawling of Plymouth]? “You only have to look at what kind of game it was.” Vic Crowe. “It was at least two feet over the line. “Even a couple of their defenders admitted it was. “The trouble was that the linesman was away down the field.” Andy Lochhead on the error by referee Hart to disallow his goal.
