Players sent off in the week are penalized in our table
with a provisional one match suspension pending the disciplinary hearing
(marked with asterisk). As with last week, there were only three sendings off
(see whitestick section), including Málaga's physio. Poschner's red card
is being contested by his club Rayo Vallecano and Osasuna's Yanguas was unlucky
to get a second yellow when he slipped and was acused of diving. Of last week's
villains, Bestchastnykh became the third Racing player to get a long ban when
he was suspended for two matches. Their manager Goiko has made a leap of faith
and has refused to accept the existence of the disciplinary committee. In the
rest of the table, Loren and Txema showed early promise by getting themselves
booked immediately after returning from a one-match suspension.
