Stars In Fast Cars Gets The Red Card From The Guardian
by Martin Belam, 28 September 2005
I noticed a design tweak in the way the football results are printed in the new look theguardian which really takes advantage of their all-colour printing. Players who have received red or yellow cards during a game now have a little coloured icon after their name in the team listings. It was really useful, and immediately made me want to look-up and read how Preston had ended up with nine men, and Lincoln City ended up with only eight.
The little red icon cropped up elsewhere in the paper as a column stop - but it did make me wonder if TV critic Rupert Smith was issuing the red card to BBC Three's Stars In Fast Cars which he had just savaged.
