The results are as follows:
Anthony Stokes x 2 (Celtic), Henri Lansbury (Nottingham Forest) and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas (Bristol City)
Grant Holt (Wigan Athletic), Leon Best (Blackburn Rovers) and Rory McArdle (Bradford City)
Lee Frecklington x2 (Rotherham United), Alfie Potter (Oxford United) x2
Anthony Stokes (Celtic) x2, Danny Webber (Accrington Stanley)
NEW ENTRY CHARLTON – STILL BEING RECOUNTED – BARNEY PLEASE DO THE HONOURS….
In the absence of any pre-selected categories, we have:
KNOWN TO THE AUTHORITIES – featuring Troy Deeney (Affray)
UNPLEASANT LOCAL DERBY – Preston North End v Blackpool (17miles)
THE GUB SCALE: No Gubs in the UK leagues, though Wigan did give Barnsley a Damn Good Seeing-to, ditto Orient to Carlisle, Brora to Clachnacuddin and Inverurie Locos to Strathspey Thistle.
However, in the Scottish League Cup, Raith Rovers did us proud, mullah-ing Queen’s Park. Cowdenbeath also duly gubbed Berwick, and Morton gave East Fife a Damn Good Seeing-to.
