White Stick Awards

The performances by our men in black were so good this week that two of them were chased off the pitch by angry fans. González Vázquez helped Real Sociedad on the way to a possible league title after failing to award the home side a penalty when Xabi Alonso handled in the area, and then sent off Sandro for two yellow cards which were dubious to say the least. All in all eight yellow cards for the Andalucians, and police had to escort González off the pitch at the end.

Similar scenes too at Rayo Vallecano, where Daudén Ibáñez upset Doña Teresa and her supporters with seven yellow cards and a red for the home side against Osasuna, which with the accumulation of cards leaves them short of three players for their next game. Fans beat down on the extendable tunnel as the referee left the field of play. (27.05.03)
