The baddies this weekend
were the coaches, with three of the six red cards being shown to managers and
their technical staff. Garrido (Villarreal coach), Oltra (Almería coach)
and Carcedo (Valencia assistant) were all given two match bans after showing
disrespect to the officials. Elsewhere Hércules left back Pulhac got his
marching orders for a second bookable offence, as did Almería's Ulloa
and Luna in the Monday night game at Málaga. One of Ulloa's yellow cards
was overturned on appeal though, but he will still miss the midweek round of
games as the other yellow card was his fifth of the season. He will be joined
on the sidelines by Botía (Sporting) and Diogo (Zaragoza), who both
picked up their tenth bookings, and also Bernadello (Almería),
Gámez (Málaga), Martí (Mallorca) and Bruno and Topal (both
Valencia), who all received their fifth. (02.03.11) |
