OX BY FHOSE long-suffering neutrals the referees seem to have diverted much of the attention away from Manchester United in the aftermath of bitter winds As usual while others waxed voluble they said nothing The most sensible comment came from Rill Shankly the Liverpool manager who declared himself fed up with the harping by other managers about referees being biased against visitors to United States Golf CARD-SLIP RULES OUT JACKLIN By ALEX LANCASTER in Tucson Arizona Tony Jacklin was disqualified for the first time in his career at the end of his third round in the £60000 Dean Martin Tucson Open golf tournament in Arizona on Saturday Homero Rlanoas his American partner failed to fill in Jarklin's score at the last hole and Jacklin not noticing the UBIOUS though Derby omission signed the rard Later gdal appeared the champions fully deserved to end Liverpool's sequence of 21 home League wins which began last January In fact the First Division leaders had cause to feel grateful for taking even the one point Both these talented sides he was automatically disqualified by the United States Professional Association Jacklin immediately flew to Los Angeles from where he took an overnight plane to York He will arrive in London tonight and I spend four or five days with his wife and sons in their Cotswold home before travelling to Tokyo i at the end of the week for a business trip involving course no fortunate no coincidence that done this three times in a he said time to break through comes when the opposition is starting to lose It is impossible not to admire indomitable character nor to avoid feeling sorry for Chelsea who have now won only one League match in 12 They were entitled to feel they had done enough to win on Saturday Lone Hollins The defence until their final moment of abstraction did splen- didly and in midfield Hudson and Kember ensured regular possession But Chelsea suffered from the fact that Hollins alone was prepared to shoot at

PILE mingham) and Malcolm Allison (Manchester City) Both gentlemen have complained in recent weeks and it is worth recalling that on Saturday Keith Styles of Barnsley disallowed a goal by John Toshack of Liverpool and allowed one by Roger Davies which many spectators thought was offside Meanwhile Ron Saunders Ihe Norwich manager has criticised the professionalism of Leeds who defeated his side 2-1 at Carrow Road Mr Saunders claims that their behaviour has extended to the influencing of referees UP TROUBLE FOR PRESTON with a smooth and devastating burst of goals in the first half at Deepdale

controversial but in their view correct decisions on Saturday At Tottenham tor instance David Smith (Gloucester) having awarded a goal against Ipswich hanged his mind after onsulting a linesman He also had Ihe unusual task of booking David Johnson (Ipsvvi(h) for a retaliation against Cyril Knowles after the final whistle At Stamford Bridge Tom Reynolds tne Swansea official booked Pester Osgood of Chelsea for a foul on Alan Ball (Arsenal) though Bill Garner claimed he was responsible Mr Reynolds was only two yards away at the time A series of television replays has shown that Garner kic ked out at Ball but probably failed to make contact An uncouth lunge by Osgood certainly did and the only possible criticism is that two NORWICH FALL TO CLARKE By BILL MEREDITH Norwich 1 Leeds 2 IT was like the reading of the banns At the third time of asking Norwich accepted that Leeds were the better side and nobody had real grounds for objection Ron Saunders the Norwich manager who had seen his team force two FA Cup draws with Leeds in four days was naturally disappointed at losing these crucial League points Leeds players intimidated the he complained made more appeals than There was a tinge of truth in the remark but at the final count Leeds had two players booked (Hunter and Rrcmner) and Norwich one (Forbes) Harvey under siege we had scored a quarter of an hour earlier we would have drawn at continued Mr Saunders Certainly after Cross had cut advantage in the dying minutes Norwich laid siege to goal Butler who played a fine game at full-back for Norw'ich almost scored twice and for the first time the Leeds defence looked rocky But despite this belated flurry eeds generally were a cut above their opponents Norwich were the chirpy canaries Leeds the soaring eagles Complete striker Clarke made the first goal for Jordan in the 21st minute and scored the second in the 35th minute His elegance masked a killer instinct that stamped him as the complete striker Breinner was the midfield maestro winning the hall with the persistence of a red-haired terrier and distributing it with the delicate touch of a chess master Livermore for Norwich did his best to supply his own

the 17-goal mark he had been denied a little earlier by a narrow offside decision pressure became more insistent as the snowstorm continued unabated after the interval but although Boulton had to make

his detractors will say that his feet were never so quick during the match as his temper immediately after it I had an excellent view of the punch with which the Ipswich striker caught Knowles behind the ear right after the final whistle It seemed a violent reaction to the contact seconds previously as Knowles strolled up behind him at the moment Johnson picked up the ball That is what 1 saw: only Johnson knows what he fellt He certainly felt aggrieved afterwards for Mr Smith tat once booked him to round off a trying match Yet the only detail upon which I would quarrel with the referee was his apparent equanimity when almost knocked off his feet by the violence of protests after Pearce kicked the ball out of Best's hands and into the net Hamilton on target He accepted the linesman's view of this incident and the score remained blank till Johnson teed up pass for Hamilton to blast paat Jennings in the 67th minute If the above disputes suggest a brawl perish the thought apart from Johnson only Mills was booked or remotely deserved to be and that was for the sin of deliberate handling It was committed in half Johnson's pace was surpassed by that of Imbert and when Ipswich learned to play with more composure than their first half helter-skelter they made this speed advantage tell Above all Ipswich had Hunter on this form the League's best No 5 His backs and midfield men dovetailed

Saturday to reach the semifinals for the second successive year They now meet the winners of Cholmelians-Brent-wood clash DIVISION IV is becoming United revival a fact The arrival of Macari indicates major failings are about to be remedied Not since Foulkes have they had a dominating centre-half not since decline have they had a placer who can win the ball penetrate and score Holton on a treacherous surface and against the powerful and clever Clyde Best a striker he had never seen before had a far better start than anyone had a right to expect not fully fit according to Celtic Liverpool and himself was fit enough though to send the Stretford end into ecstasy He was colourful exciting and scored and almost certainly and very sadly finally ended the George Best career at Old Trafford Mysterious penalty It must he added that West Ham were unlucky They had a most mysterious penalty awarded against them as seemingly no one hut the linesman saw Taylor handle the hall they had a third goal disallowed on a fractional offside position yet in the end dropped a point because Best and Robson needed help to maintain pressure on a wobbly Manchester defence Nor should West Ham have lost their 2-0 lead won well by goals from Robson 15 minutes and Best 13 minutes later Charlton's penalty in the 31st minute was a turning point not merely to a match but possibly to a season and perhaps to a crisis LTnited always seemed likely to equalise once Davies a straightforward striker had replaced Law Mn hester IHI Stepwy' Young Forsyl Law (sirb IXivis 55 min) Holton Buchan Morgan

Content with their half-time lead No such luxuries were permissible for QPR at Middlesbrough Plague of injuries A re-shuffle in defence is almost routine for Rangers since the plague of injuries hit them at the turn of the year yet Parkes and Co held out against Middlesbrough despite fresh injuries to Bowles and Venables Mancini was a towering determined figure in defence The mvsterv of hesitant displays at home was deepened by another tine away win their eighth at Huddersfield John Rvan Slough and Hinctoon built the win through their midfield mastery Butlin equalised a minute after Hut snored for Huddersfield and Lyon put into his own net for Luton's winning goal Millwalt's late surging assaults Blackpool's goal were not enough to regain the lead Cripps had earned in the 10th minute

BOURNEMOUTH BACK ON TOP Micky Cave the Bournemouth forward tried to play goalkeeper at Scunthorpe and it cost his side a penalty and a vital point Kirk scored from the spot to equalise a fine goal by Clark In fairness had Cave not handled the ball would have gone into the net Even so Bournemouth are back at the top of the table in front of Oldham who played on Friday At the other end of the table Plymouth moved up a place with a worthy win at Brentford Provan and Latcham scored the goals one in each half Southend also won bv a single goal at home to Tranmere whose promotion chances were slimmed bv this second consecutive defeat Two late goals by Tees at Watford kept Grimsby in touch with the leaders although Morrissey pulled one back four minutes from time Horsfield earned a point for Otarlton in a thrilling match at York where Pollard scored first before the break This keeps Charlton a point behind Grimsby Division IV GILLINGHAM RUN UP BIG SCORE Aldershot gave Southport a fright when they jumped into a 10-minute lead through Howarth but the leaders soon gained a grip on the game and goals by Wright Sibbald and Fryatt put them three points clear at the top At Cambridge the reverse happened Exeter ran in three from Balson Gibson and Birwiey before United gained a consolation goal from Watson two minutes from time This leaves Fxeter firmly in third place and Cambridge trailing in the promotion race Gillingham were the top scorers despite being without their leading strikers Wilks and Yeo They ran up five against Barnsley who pulled one back through Brown when they were four down Tydeman Jacks Richardson and Knight and an own goal by Pettit made up Gillingham's tally A debut goal bv Hunt gave Reading victory over Hartlepool and Tinsley's effort at Torquay sent Bury back with the points while Lincoln and Crewe shared two goals and the spoils GATES DROP 320583 wintry weather which brought the postponement of 11 Football League matches caused total weekend
