On This Day
Villa encounter yet another poor refereeing performance - this time from two officials after Keith Miller was replaced by Geoff Pearson, the latter gifting Oxford a bogus penalty to leave Villa winless in eight.
Billy McNeill's Villa draw for the second successive match bur are now without a win in eight and have just eleven wins in their last forty seven League games losing twenty two.

What they Said
"I put in a perfectly good tackle on [Les] Phillips and was amazed when he got up and kicked me.
โI have been in enough trouble without wishing to get involved again.
โPhillips was silly. He fell over for the penalty and then laughed when the ref pointed to the spot."
Gary Williams.
"The ref said something about counting to seven seconds waiting for me to kick the ball. I ask you, the game had only just got going and he never gave me any warning."
Nigel Spink.
"There were some amazing decisions from both refs. When did you last see a goalkeeper penalised for time wasting in the first 20 minutes?"
Andy Gray.
