Lots to talk about this
weekend, mainly about penalties! Atlético Madrid were steaming at
Ramírez Domínguez after he turned down three clear penalty
appeals from them in the match at Villarreal, and sent off the manager as he
came on the field to try and calm down some heated arguments at half time. It
wasn't all in Villarreal's favour though, he also turned down further spot kick
appeals by the locals after the break. Clos Gómez had no problems
awarding penalties though in the match between Sevilla and Villarreal - he
actually awarded three, the third of which in Sevilla's favour was if anything
the other way round as Negredo barged in to the keeper and defender chasing a
ball in to the six yard box. Nobody else saw what he saw (we haven't seen one
media report in his favour), but it gave the three points to the Andalusians.
And Alvarez Izquierdo gave two spot kicks in the game between Valencia and
Mallorca, the first in Mallorca's favour more than dubious. He made up for it
late on though, turning down a much clearer claim for another foul on Chori
Castro in injury time. By then though Mallorca had won. (28.10.10)
