The daily sports paper Marca who give out the officially recognised prizes, including the Pichichi, Zamora and the referees' Guruceta, awarded zero points (out of three) to no less than five officials this weekend. For the life of us we can't see though why, unless their reporters were having a bad day at work? Rubinos Pérez, Ramírez Domínguez, Alvarez Izquierdo, Ontanaya López-Astillero and Pérez Lasa. were all marked at the lowest score at Levante, Getafe, Betis, Almería and Atlético respectively, although the only really questionable performance was from Ontanaya, who allowed the game to go on for a couple of minutes after Elía had pulled down Negredo, and eventually sent off the keeper for what his linesman reported as a kick to the head. Cameras showed that Elía had grabbed the striker's shirt out of frustration (he had already been pulled up earlier on for diving), but that any contact with the foot was purely accidental. In fact the referee only consulted his assistant after Elía asked for the game to be stopped to attend to Negredo, who was still lying on the ground in a late attempt for an Oscar. (23.10.07)
