Brighton v Preston - One for the statto's

[Poyningsgull]

Brighton and Preston have played out 4 straight 0-0 draws in the last 4 games. No fixture in Football league history has yielded 5 straight 0-0 draws.!

Tempting fate.?

Or how about trying to beat the record set in 1989 Palace v Brighton, the only ever game (so far as I know) with 5 penalty awards?
I was there..

You can always ask for the odds on a 0-0 draw with 6 missed penalties.!

Who was the ref that day? Did he go on long after that madness?

1999 Copa America
Argentina 0 Colombia 3

5 penalties with only 1 scored
Martín Palermo missed all 3 awarded to the Argies

Kelvin Morton, Bury-St-Edmunds

I was there too. He retired in 1995, having reffed 61 PL games.

I think there is a real chance (unfortunately) that we will set a new record tomorrow with 5th 0-0. Especially as they are turning up with 3 CB's and a brand new bus.!

Thanks for going some way to answering my question on the other thread

My earlier post on this (4 x 0-0 draws on the bounce against PNE) has got me thinking. I wonder what the record is for consecutive games between two teams ending in the same score?

Sorry, didn't see it there otherwise I would have done.

Brighton fans will always remember his name.


I might put some money on 0-0 - bound to be a goal then

That's my worry for tomorrow. An early goal would transform the game
