Carabao cock-up

Following Sunderland's 1-0 win at Bury tonight the draw was made for the 2nd round of the League Cup. It was done live on Sky with John Salako & Alex McGleish.

Firstly, the draw was regionalised North and South. But work this out!!! Cardiff Ciry were placed in the South but Newport County in the North. Meanwhile, Birmingham City & Wolves were in the South along with Burton Albion while West Brom were in the North.

They then cocked up the South draw by saying the first four clubs were drawn away when they were in fact at home. The confirmation of the South draw was omitted from Sky Sports News for about 20 minutes while they tried to sort out what the hell was happening. So now Brentford go to QPR rather than Griffin Park and Bristol City travel to Watford rather than host them.

All in all a shambolic way to sort out the Second Round. Somebody ought to send a map of England & Wales to the relevant officials so they have an idea in future of the difference between the North and South!!! Burton in the South and Newport in the North - give me a break!!!
