However, he was no fan of the Multi-ball system, whereby ball boys and girls are employed to keep play moving by supplying a replacement ball every time on goes out of play, a contentious point that saw he and Wolves' boss Mick McCarthy arguing on the touchline.
"I thought the Multi-ball was an absolute joke," said Ollie. "Why people were shouting at my goalie when he's got to run to get the ball because the little fella holding another ball wouldn't give it to him?If ever you want an advert of how not to do it?
"I told the referee at half-time: "For goodness sake, change it."
"If you are going to do Multi-ball, you should have cone and put the ball on top of it. Don't let any young individual be responsible for it. How many times did you see two balls on the pitch?"
The incident he is referring to is an absolute joke. The Ballboy is offering the ball to their goalkeeper (as he is meant to do), waiting for the keeper to turn to him to receive it. The keeper purposely ignores the ballboy and runs the length of the byline to get the ball that had trickled away.
It was 100% the keepers fault.
