“It was a joke. I told the linesman what I thought of him, he told the referee and the referee told me not to bother to come out for the second half.

“It was a quarter-final of the League Cup and we were losing 1-0.

“It was not the first time a hand-bail had been missed In the Albion penalty area what am I expected to call him? A nice lad!

“Robertson went over the top and only got booked.

“I’ve never kicked anyone In my life and yet I get sent off.”

"I was still surprised at the decision in view of one or two tackles that went on.

"I was proud of the way team battled, and the way they kept their cool at some of the decisions that went against them.

Ron Saunders.
