The Johnstone Paint Trophy began its Round 2 in the Northern and Section section on Tuesday,
October 6, 2009. Most of the home teams advanced with a few exceptions. One match was postponed,
Accrington Stanley v Shrewsbury Town, because of rain and the officials ruling the pitch unfit to
play on.
Here's a list of the results from Tueday's matches.
Chelsea spent much of the summer promising a marquee signing, but their inability to deliver one
reflected both Roman Abramovich's reduced largesse and the manner in which Real Madrid have changed
the rules of engagement in the transfer market. Yuri Zhirkov was the club's only significant
signing.
The Football League Trophy or the Johnstone's Paint Trophy began its first round of matches on
Tuesday September 1, 2009. The first round is divided into regions (Northern and Southern played on
Tuesday) and contains teams from the English League One and League Two. The matches are single
elimination with the winners moving onto the second round.
The English Football League Cup or Carling Cup as its known continued its round 2 of matches on
Wednesday August 26, 2009. Most of the Premier League teams advanced including Tottenham and Stoke
City while Wigan fell 1-4 to Blackpool. Here's a recap of Wednesday's matches along with video
highlights.

to put in a terrific performance against Palermo in the UEFA Cup three years ago, and kept a clean
sheet. Tim Krul - big chance tonight And Krul was unbeaten last season when Carlisle United won 3-0

Referee Darren Deadman should be, well, a dead man. Especially after Carlisle United player-coach
Graham Kavanagh heard the man in the middle make some disturbing in-game remark.
"It was in the second half of the game, the ball went out to the left and as the
Millwall lad crossed it, I was running back into the box.
Carlisle United player-coach Graham Kavanagh has accused referee Darren Deadman of shouting
words of encouragement to Millwall striker Neil Harris during the two sides' 0-0 draw at The Den
last Saturday.
Says Kavanagh:
"It was in the second half of the game, the ball went out to the left and as the Millwall lad
crossed it, I was running back into the box.
Stockport County lost 2-1 to Carlisle United last night at Edgeley Park.County got off to the
brighter start from the off, as the ball was threaded through to Carl Baker who dragged his shot
wide.
County were pressuring Carlisle and it began to show as Tansey intercepted a miss pass and put
Danny Pilkington onto goal who couldn't get the ball out of his feet and fired over into the
Railway Stand.
It's time for the next of our gargantuan pre-season previews we're off to League Two, where
the Bovril is likely to be scalding hot and the pies may still be frozen in the middle. Perhaps
surprisingly, everybody that finished last season starts this time around, and no-one (at the time
of writing) has been deducted any points yet, either.
The following players have been known to have played abroad during the past 12 months, but have
since disappeared. There are also players I am looking for some further information on, in an
effort to track their careers and ensure whether or not they should be on Les Rosbifs. I would be
extremely grateful for [. Click to continue reading...
The final sweep of Les Rosbifs has led to as few more players leaving the list, the most notable of
whom is Tommy Mooney. The former Watford, Aston Villa, Scarborough, Southend United, Birmingham
City and Walsall (to name many) striker has decided to hang up his boots after an extensive career
spanning the English leagues. Click to continue reading...
You're may be wondering: Where have all those talented Chelsea youngstas buggered off to? Well,

Seeing as how the Ashes have started and England aren't - at the time of writing - being
thrashed seven shades of black and blue by Australia (though there isplenty of time for
that to happen over the next few weeks or so), we thought that now would be an appropriate time to
have a quick look back at the (now dying) breed of sportsman that combined their summer sport with
their winter sport.
His name has been up on a locker in the Galaxy dressing room for weeks.
He's given a farewell interview to his local newspaper in England.
And today the Galaxy announced the 25-year-old Trinidad and Tobago midfielder would join the
club effective July 15, the day the transfer window reopens.

The end of the football season brings out the mathematician in us all. Brighton & Hove Albion
supporters spent most of yesterday morning poring over fixture lists but, behind the permutations
and logarithms, there was a simple equation. Beat Stockport County, and you don't have to do any
sums. Beat Stockport County and you will stay up, regardless of results elsewhere.

Oldham Athletic's injury crisis worsened on Good Friday when 7 foot mascot Chaddy the Owl (better
known as 34 year old Wayne Hurst) fell off a BMX bicycle when attempting an ill-advised wheelie
prior to the League One tie with Carlisle United. Chaddy ruptured ankle ligaments in the, er "accident" but did bravely maintain the mascot's
