White Stick Awards

Good performances from referees all round this week, the only criticism directed at Fernández Borbolán, who favoured Real Madrid against Mallorca by ignoring a possible penalty for hands by Heinze early on (presumably considering it to be accidental), and then allowing Robinho's second goal to stand even though he picked up Raúl's deflected pass in a borderline offside position. After last week's hoo-ha it was strange that Schuster shrugged off the question when asked in the press conference if the fact that the referee was from Andalusia had affected the result! (14.11.07)
