Only one red card in day two, Betis and Spain winger Joaquín letting his nerves get the better of him and picking up a second yellow card for protesting too strongly to the referee about the free kick leading up to Espanyol's last gasp equaliser. After the match the player complained that Wome and company had been kicking him for 90 minutes, and why should he be the one to get sent off? That's life though, and he will have to learn to control himself or else everyone will be out to provoke him. Wome as it happened was one of the new bunch of villains who picked up yellow cards in each of their first two league games. Habitual readers of these pages will recognise a few old names amongst them as well, for example Javi Navarro, who put in a good claim for the lead role in "The Midnight Strangler" after his throat hold on Luis Enrique did the round of the world's press. One who doesn't feature this week though is Valcarce, the disciplinary committee deciding to cancel his second yellow and consequently the red from last week on appeal. (08.09.03)
