It seems nobody wants the White Stick award this year! Muñiz Fernández had it for the taking, only needing five cards to beat Pérez Lasa in the grudge match between Barcelona and Celta, something he normally manages before half time. But even though there was a massive bust up between players, he only managed two cards, albeit they were both red. That leaves Pérez Lasa in first place pending this weekend's cup final, where Iturralde González should be man enough to produce four cards and take the trophy. (25.06.03)

P.S. As expected, Itturalde Gónzalez pinched it with six yellow cards in the cup final. Rated one of the best referees in the league, his top spot was a bit of a surprise. He did however officiate in more games than anyone else, and his average of 5.96 cards per game was well below Pérez Lasa's 7.28. But them's the rules!
