Rubinos Pérez moves
well clear at the top of our chart this week after showing ten yellow cards and
three reds in the bottom of the table clash between Xerez and Villarreal.
Rubinos upset the Villarreal players when he failed to spot that Carlos Calvo
blocked a Diego López clearance with his hand late on, an incident which
led to Xerez's winning goal and subsequently red cards for Gonzalo and Pires.
According to the referee's report, the French international called him an "hijo
de puta" after the final whistle, and although Pires claimed his Spanish was
not up to that "level of sophistication", he will still have to serve out a one
match ban. (20.10.09) |
