Another relatively quiet week this week, with once again only two red cards being shown. One of those should not have been, with Valladolid's Peña the unfortunate victim when he received a second yellow card shortly after the half time interval for handling the ball. The fact is he was running alongside an attacker when the ball hit him on the back of the arm, and he could not have seen it coming. Hopefully the disciplinary committee will cancel the card at their next meeting. The other sending off was of Osasuna's Sabino, who didn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Having received one yellow card for arguing, he carried on with his protests and got a second, and still carried on when shown the red. The referee reported hjim eventually for using foul and abusive language and he could receive a long ban. (10.09.01)
