Referees had an unlikely champion this week, Espanyol's manager Javier Clemente. Lemmens and Lopo had been very critical of Turienzo Alvarez after he awarded a controversial last minute penalty against their side which cost them the match. However Clemente tore a strip off his two players for their remarks, saying that anyone who criticised the officials in his team would be severely punished. Quite a turn-around for the boy from Barakaldo, who is never known to mince his words when it comes to calling a spade a bloody shovel. (16.09.03)
