Rubinos Pérez was not
the most popular person in Pamplona after he awarded a penalty to Osasuna's
local rivals Real Sociedad, even though it appeared that Corrales had just run
into Xabi Prieto accidentally as both were watching the ball. Rubinos then sent
off coach Cuco Ziganda for stopping the ball as it went over the line for a
throw in, and even though the manager probably did kick it before it crossed
the line, it was just a question of inches. The referee could not match his
colleague Pérez Lima though, who the following day managed to produce 14
yellow cards and one red in the game between Betis and Celta. (09.01.07)
