White Stick Awards

Referees (sum total of red and yellow cards).

Poor old Losantos Omar drew the short straw on the last weekend of the season, the normally relaxed referee having to take charge of the game between Sevilla and Osasuna. As reported on our villains page, the match descended into a free for all, and Losantos ended the day showing twelve yellows and four reds, which some say was less than he could have done. Otherwise though it was relatively quiet, with Mejuto González and (would you believe it) Tristante Oliva failing to book anyone at all and Megia Dávila doing enough to wrap up the white stick award for this season, a prize at last having finished runner up twice in the last three years. There was some fun and games though in the second division this weekend, Rodado Rodríguez having to be given a police escort to save him from 3,000 angry Sporting fans, who had travelled to Eibar to watch their side and had not been excessively happy that the referee sent off three of their players and awarded two dubious penalties against them. It was over an hour before he could leave the ground safely. (25.05.04)
