This game signified the final day of English football's use of the continental style card system. Originally used from 1976 to 1981, the use of coloured cards was suspended by the FA, who believed their existence stoked football violents. Cautions and sending offs were unaffected during the period but once again coloured cards were to no longer be shown on field.
