Thanks Acme. 

Card-free games like that are quite interesting.  There seems to be an assumption they're rare, but looking at the stats they happen every week (although CB would not be high up the list of likely candidates), and they seem to involve certain refs rather more often than the law of averages would suggest.

BTW, the advice to be wary of Soccerbase was good, it's been confirmed to me that there were only 5 cards in Argyle -v- Pompey on Monday.

I wonder which referee has gone the longest without a cardfree match. I have neither the time nor the confidence in soccerbase to check.

However off the top of my head I'd go for Alan Young who does not appear to have ever had a cardless match in his 6 years of refereeing at "Conference" level or above.

This will not surprise anyone who saw him at Portman Road last season !!
