If there was little to report on the opening weekend of the season, this week there is even less, as there were no red cards at all! The only one who could be in hot water was Betis coach Gus Poyet, who was reported by referee Clos Gómez for saying to him “never come back, we always lose with you in charge!”. Difficult to know what he was talking about though, first of all as the game ended in a draw, and secondly Poyet has only been the manager at Betis for two matches! Rather than giving him a ban, they should send him for a brain scan to see if all his faculties are still intact! (30.08.16)

PS Timor (Leganés) was originally given a two match suspension after his red card last weekend, but it was reduced to one on appeal.

(* suspension pending disciplinary meeting decision)
