slightly different format from now on, to reflect the real villains. Sometimes
the referee misses the odd incident, and if it's Prados García he is
awol for most of the match. The disciplinary committee sometimes rules on video
evidence, as in the case of Arzeno, who was given a six match suspension for
elbowing Jankauskas without even getting a caution. Serious offenders may also
receive one direct red, but be suspended for several matches (e.g. Marioni, 4
games out). To reflect this, we are giving an extra point if the red card is
direct, and another for every match for which they are suspended. Players sent
off in the week will be penalized in our table with a provisional one match
suspension pending the disciplinary hearing (marked with asterisk). This week
five players were sent off, Pandiani and Rotchen with direct reds, and Frank De
Boer, Soria and Loren for two bookable offences. The revised table is as
follows: (25.9.00) |
