Four more red cards in the second weekend, two of which were for Osasuna players. Monreal was sent off early in the second half of the match at Tenerife after picking up two pickings in as many minutes, and Nekounam followed him down the tunnel late on for what the referee reported to be a push in the face of an opponent. Racing's Crespo and Xerez's Mendoza were also shown straight red cards in the second halves of their respective matches, the Xerez defender being the third player to be sent off in their first two matches in the top flight! The disciplinary committee handed out a two match ban to Sevilla's assistant coach Lozano for his insults two weeks' ago, and he is now setting an example for the rest in our table! (18.09.09)
