White Stick Awards

With their numbers reduced to 20 this season, referees are taking charge of more games. Muñiz Fernández for example has been in action three times in a week thanks to the midweek round of matches, and he looks almost sure to top our chart this year after producing seven yellows and a red (Demichelis) in the fixture between Athletic Bilbao and Málaga. Muñiz probably set a new record for two penalties in less than a minute when David López's first spot kick came back off the bar and hit Eliseu on the arm. Funny old game, football! (18.05.11)
