Just thought I'd share a story I did on the referees of Euro 2016. It's a look at the 18 referees going to the football tournament and what their records are when it comes to booking players - how much, how often, how early etc.
Analysed around 5,000 football matches over the past 14 years to come up with the data. The story's called '
Is Carlos Carballo The Most Ruthless Referee At Euro 2016?' and my noob-ish Python code can be
seen here. :)
