I really liked Tiatto. I thought he had a good amount of technique and mobility but it got over looked because he got stuck in.
Is my memory of this correct? Tiatto had been dropped for a while and had a couple of run ins with Keegan and City were putting in a dross display at home to an average Blackburn team. Keegan had been going on about how Tiatto needed to be more controlled but turned to him in the second half.
Tiatto came on and within a couple of minutes had got a straight red for almost cutting a Blackburn player in half. It was one of those tackles where the whole crowd draws breath, goes quiet and starts mumbling because they know it was a disgrace and is going to get a red.
Anyway, he starts walking without even getting a card and leathers a water bottle into the air, whilst Keegan looked disgusted. (Don't know what he expected from a player that Royle had said couldn't be given a debut because, although he looked good in the reserves he was getting sent off every other game).
I honestly thought he wouldn't play for City again after that but I think he did.
Anyway, I liked the bloke. Dirty bastard though. Looked like that Paul Crone off the totally shite Granada Tonight.
I think the blessed Goat came off the bench and got an equaliser with 10 men too. FEED THE GOAT!
