THE ‘R2D2’s GONNA STEP ON ANT AGAIN’ HEAD IN HANDS LEAGUE
So called because of the birthdays of Kenny ‘R2D2’ Baker, 80 on the 23rd, Shaun Ryder, 52 on the 23rd, and Ant MacPartlin 46 on the 25th.
Quality over quantity here with Troy Deeney and Lee Hughes.
A Standing ovation for Telford’s Godfrey Poku who went on his debut on opening day and followed this up with another red card for violent conduct (whilst appealing the previous early bath) on the 25th. Fine work.
Tranmere 2-3 Cheltenham having been 2-0 at half time. Cheltenham’s own PR described their Manager, club stalwart Mark Yates as ‘Steely’. Tea and Biscuits were unlikely to have been served in the visitors dressing room at Prenton Park around 3.45. Thrown perhaps, but not served.
A few ‘incidents’ but no mutual red cards.
Michael Antonio – twice against the owls, and Paddy Madden against Yeovil Town
Gateshead 1-6 Grimsby called by Barney at 0-3 on 43min.
Cowdenbeath 0-4 Alloa called by Howard at 0-3 at Half Time.
MISCELLANY
Grimsby Town 7 – 0 Alfreton Town. Notable for being the first Wham of the season.
In checking the scorers for this week, I found some sad news. The man with the best name in football has retired to go into coaching – Brown Ferguson. No more to be seen on the Sky Sports News vidiprinter. Sniff….
