ON THIS DAY

Wednesday, 20 January 1982

  • A poor performance from the officials, a bizarre half time sending off, more horrendous challenges and the massed ranks of 11 Albion defenders stifling the game see Villa - far from their best form - unable to break through and out of the League Cup at the quarter final stage.

  • Ron Saunders' Villa are dumped out of the League Cup by Albion after a controversial refereeing performance as they make it five defeats in the last seven games in all competitions.

MATCH QUOTES

"There is no excuse for Tony, as he knows that calling a referee or a linesman what he did can only get him into trouble. "But where is the sense in it when Alistair Robertson can get away with just a booking for the sort of foul he committed on me in the opening minutes, while a lad gets ordered off for opening his mouth. "Someone has got to something about it to get the balance right." Dennis Mortimer. “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. “What am I supposed to do? “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.” Tony Morley. "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. “I must admit to being worried about the crowd. The atmosphere was festering and If anything else had happened I do not like to think what they would have done." Ron Saunders.
