MATCHDAY 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.
