๐Ÿ†˜ There is no game, no occasion, the self-importance of Thomas could not spoil. Needless yellow cards, a sending off and penalty for non-fouls yet still he strutted like a peacock whilst the terrances erupted into violence because of his behaviour. A shameful performance from a shameless referee.

MATCH QUOTES

2509-2.png
โ€œI shall be reporting them [Vic Crowe and Ron Wylie] for encroaching on the pitch when Morgan was sent off.โ€ Clive Thomas. --- โ€œIf we are reported it can only be foe grabbing Morgan and pulling him off the pitch.โ€ Ron Wylie. --- โ€œI pass judgement on Thomas and find him guilty of worsening an explosive situation by his weak handling of the game. โ€œAnd I believe he was totally wrong to send off Morgan for kicking the ball as Arsenal โ€˜keeper Wilson dived to save.โ€ Sam Bartram, The Sunday People. --- โ€œI will appeal. โ€œIt was a 50-50 ball and I think Wilson lost his cool.โ€ Sammy Morgan. --- โ€œWilson made a meal of it. โ€œI will obviously want to see what the refereeโ€™s report says concerning this controversial FA Cup tie. โ€œBut at this time I feel that we must appeal and fight against every decision that was given against us in this game. โ€œI donโ€™t know about encroaching on the pitch. โ€œAll Ron Wylie and I were trying to do was to get Sammy off the field as peaceably as possible to allow the game to continue. โ€œNeither Ron nor I said anything to the referee at that stage so I fail to see why he should report us to the FA for trying to cool everything. โ€œMorgan will definitely play against Arsenal on Wednesday. โ€œWe will obviously appeal against his dismissal. โ€œAnd, I think we will appeal against all the cautions against us involving Cumbes, Evans and Morgan again. โ€œWe have no alternative. โ€œIf Wilson was concussed, how on earth did he manager to save Bruce Riochโ€™s 76th minute free kick and also Alun Evansโ€™ follow up? โ€œWilson made a meal of it, and, donโ€™t forget, it was his wild antics which were responsible for Morgan being booked four minutes before his dismissal.โ€ Vic Crowe. --- โ€œI donโ€™t remember anything.โ€ Bob Wilson.
