Clean sheet

[Dreamgreen]

It is annoying me … is there any other way of describing that no goals were scored against a team ?

Clean sheets does my head in.

It is a reference to there being nothing written on the score sheet but you can use "no goals against' or similar if you prefer. I doubt whether you will be able to avoid seeing your disliked phrase anytime soon.

They call them "Shutouts" over here. eg Ottawa shutout Montreal 3-0 last night.
