interesting reading about Ole calling city out about their tactical fouls. ed1 has been saying that for the last 2 years about how often they do it but more importantly are getting away with it unpunished to a large extent. Im sure a lot of people will be watching out for it in the game tonight.

I really hope utd give them a game tonight, not just for us but their own self respect as that everton performance was shocking ( but also guarantees that nit wit marco silva will be around another year to take them nowhere yet again)

Aye, fair play to Ole to be the first manager in the league to highlight it. Hope he doesn't get fined for it, because he didn't really comment on the ref dealing with it, just that they do it.

Its an old fergie tactic. Highlight something just before a game so its debated and looked out for.

Part of the game tactical fouls, when they are pulled off they are great.

BigVirg, I get what you are saying. What does people's heads is that the refs NEVER do a thing about it and let them go scott free. I mean, Fernandinho countless times, fouls players while the counter is on and gets nothing. I remember when City played Everton at Goodison and my word, it was comical. The ref (the hapless Craig Paulson) did not book Fernadinho until his FIFTH bookable foul.

Same with when they played Newcastle at St. James' where KDB (already on a yellow), sithed down Matt Ritchie. The ref went towards him, put his hands in his back pocket and then. NOTHING. Pep later took off KDB to save his team. This is what gets my goat and shows how biased refs are towards City cos everyone thinks they are choir boys whereas they cheat as much as anyone else.
