Delete: This article is but a duplicate of information that can already be found on the pages Fouls and misconduct (association football) and Professional foul. -- Kndimov (talk) 02:53, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no redirect There are tactical fouls in other sports, see e.g. FIBA Europe attacks tactical fouls and flopping. The topic in association football is already fully covered as Kndimov mentioned. --Bejnar (talk) 04:53, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I've never heard this as a term used in association football. Giant Snowman 14:56, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - it's widely used in soccer though. See https://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&as_q=%22soccer%22+%22tactical+foul%22 - surely then there should be some kind of disambiguation page in Wikipedia. Nfitz (talk) 23:20, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: Nfitz, "association football" is soccer. -- Kndimov (talk) 13:51, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - with Glossary of association football terms. Agree a redirect would create issues as it is not a specific footballing term. Nfitz has shown that a sentence or two in the glossary article could readily be sourced. Fenix down (talk) 09:56, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
