White Stick Awards

The referees' committee put Ontanaya López in to the sin-bin this week after his decision last weekend to send off Osasuna keeper and award a penalty to their opponents Valencia. With several referees unavailable Ontanaya was scheduled to officiate again this weekend, but he was replaced by one of his colleagues. None of this is much consolation for Osasuna though, who actually had some help from Medina Cantalejo for once on Sunday. Medina sent off Real Madrid's Cannavaro and awarded a hotly disputed penalty for hands by Heinze, but Osasuna still lost in the end. (06.05.08)
