I honestly think the referee Martin Oliver was inexperienced with this type of game, he allowed too many rough tackles to away with it.

When l was young, referees were tough, but allowed the game to flow, and this is what has happened, and players do it as they know if the ref is not tough, they will get away with it.

Isn't the last quote at odds with the previous ones - players used to kick lumps out of each other regularly and the game flowed because the referees let it happen.....Chopper Harris, Norman HUnter, Billy Bremner (in fact most of the Leeds team of that era
), Souness, etc
