White Stick Awards

New referees are always in the spotlight in La Liga, and this season's two new boys were both in action on day one. González González has been at this level before, and he will be looking to do better this time after he got himself relegated the last time out. Estrada Fernández took charge of a first division match for the first time though, and he certainly will not be a popular man in Xerez after he sent off two of their players in their opening game in the top flight. Rubinos Pérez tops our table however after producing two red cards in the fixture between Valencia and Sevilla, and that after refereeing the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup. (03.09.09)
