Four red cards at the
weekend, including two for Sporting's Bilic and José Angel against
Sevilla, both for second bookable offences. Barcelona's Dani Alves was also
sent off after picking up a second yellow card against Espanyol, and Villarreal
manager Juan Carlos Garrido was red-carded for telling the referee where to
stick it! That came just a week after his brother and assistant manager
Raúl .was sent off for the same reason. Runs in the family? Anyway, they
will all be on the sidelines next weekend, together with the following players
who completed the yellow card cycle, Paulo Assunçao (Atlético),
Colsa (Racing) and Borja (Valladolid) with ten bookings, and Iraola (Athletic),
Colotto (Deportivo), Raúl Baena (Espanyol), Monreal (Osasuna) and Albiol
(Real Madrid) with five. (20.04.10)
PS. Colsa's yellow card was
cancelled on appeal, and he will therefore not be suspended for the next game.
