We discuss Porto vs. Gil Vicente as controversial refereeing decisions Porto lose at home with only 9 players on the pitch, there's mayhem in the Minho Derby with 3 sending offs and tons more drama, and there's managerial sackings and huge results at the bottom end of the table as Marítimo win the Derbí das Ilhas.

How have Portimonense ended up in 7th place? How have Gil Vicente been so bad? Do we owe João Henriques an apology? And will Paços ever win a game?
