Our old friend Megía Dávila was in the news again at the weekend after sending off Valencia's David Silva in the match at Sevilla. Neither the referee nor his assistants saw Daniel Alves elbow Silva in the face with less than a minute on the clock. But Megía did see the young winger lash out a retaliatory elbow a quarter of an hour later, and Silva was off. The Chés lost the game 3-0, and afterwards the Valencia management said they would be considering whether to ask the RFEF to ban the referee from taking charge of their matches. The official upset the club last season remember after halting the quarter final cup tie against Deportivo when one of his linesmen was hit by a coin thrown from the crowd. However Megía said that he could only go on what he sees on the pitch, had nothing against Valencia, and would have no problems returning to the Mestalla stadium in the future. (21.11.06)
