Boomstick Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 sap The first player to receive three red cards in a game was Alex Miller in a match between St. Mirren and Motherwell. He was shown red for fighting before being shown a further red for arguing with the referee and finally a third for further dissent. The match was played at Love Street in 1986.

Boomstick Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Wrong, wrong, wrongity wrong. Ahem Single words don't count. I refuse to accept that because the words Forest, Spurs, Reading and even Hearts appear in the bible that these clubs took their name from it, I realise that wasn't what I said though. The first Football League match played under floodlights was between Portsmouth and Newcastle United at Fratton Park on 22/2/1956. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
