HSV Star Steaming Over Suspension

Hamburger SV skipper David Jarolim is still steaming over the referee's decision to show him the yellow card during the defeat against Hertha Berlin last weekend, a booking which will rule him out of the next match against bitter rivals Werder Bremen.

The Czech midfielder picked up his fifth yellow card of the season after remonstrating with the referee, who deemed it to be worthy of dissent.

"As captain, I have the right to talk to the referee," Jarolim steamed, while the club's official website only quoted HSV coach Martin Jol as being deeply unhappy and only saying: "We will have to discuss it."

Hamburg can ill afford to be without their captain next weekend as they are in a rut and risk kissing their title chances goodbye even at this early stage with another loss.
