Taking out all the rage, City are not the only ones guilty of it. We see it way too often in games these days from a variety of teams. It's not just about the art of persuation even, it's also those friendly gestures before games, because it's all to gain a psychological advantage. I think as soon as the players enter the field of play, they should not be touching the ref for any reason, if they do they should be given a yellow card. As Pep would say 'it's business' so in my eyes you should remain professional in your conduct at all times, and part of that is not touching the ref. Today was an extreme example of why it needs to be stamped on, otherwise we are going to turn into a Serie A, and don't tell me Liverpool never do this, because I'm pretty sure they have. I think even the game before Chelsea v Aston Villa it was happening.
