Villains

Málaga's Eliseu has been out of luck this season, and after having his red card from last week cancelled on appeal, he got another one this weekend. This time it was after catching Almería's Juanma Ortíz with a flailing arm midway through the first half as they battled for a loose ball, which didn't seem really deliberate, but in any case the referee sent him off. Only two other red cards apart from that, Zaragoza's Jarosik the first to go after giving away a penalty on Sporting's Barral early in the second half of their match on Saturday, and Hércules midfielder Abel Aguilar getting his marching orders late on for a hard tackle on Getafe's Boateng on Sunday. After six games we already have the first two players suspended for picking up five bookings to date, Sporting's Botía and Osasuna's Puñal. Early candidates for our "Villains" award this year?
