2 a clean sheet
безупречная, незапятнанная репутация; ≈ чист как стёклышкоI've never had a cleaner sheet than I've had the last two years. And if I can prove these people are throwing mud, they'll find it a more expensive game than snooker. (C. P. Snow, ‘The Conscience of the Rich’, ch. XXXI) — Последние два года за мной не водилось никаких грехов. Если мне удастся доказать, что эти люди клевещут на меня, стараются облить меня грязью, то это им дорого обойдется. Плохую игру они затеяли.
Five days of torment are over and England go into the second Test with a clean slate... (‘Daily Worker’) — Пять напряженных дней позади, и второй круг английская команда начинает без поражений.
