Pérez Burrull is the latest referee to be put "in the fridge" after his performance during the game between Atlético Madrid and Valencia. The veteran referee was going to be in charge of next weekend's fixture between Osasuna and Getafe, but the referees' committee decided that he and his linesman will be replaced by Mejuto González and another colleague after both completely missed the fact that Marchena had stopped an attack with his hand whilst on the ground. The Atlético players protested strongly, and after a long delay (his intercom to his colleagues was not working) it was the fourth official who told him what had happened. Red card for Marchena, and penalty to the locals. Pérez (who had already served out a one month suspension last season after the Real Madrid / Osasuna game) also failed to spot two further penalties on Reyes early on and for another hand ball following a Simao free kick after the restart, and a second red card for Miguel was also probably excessive. No change there then! (02.03.10)
