Both before and after playing his 50th game for Wales against Slovakia, Paul Jones received a lot of attention. Before the game it was for how he had his hair cut to commemorate his 50th cap; after, it was his terrible mistakes he made during the game.
In the words of the Guardian "
Paul Jones was surely tempting fate when he made a visit to the hairdresser before this 5-1 drubbing. He had the No50 and a dragon shaved into the back of his head to mark reaching a half-century of international appearances. Yet, after what the manager, John Toshack, agreed was a "nightmare" afternoon for his goalkeeper, it is possible that Jones has played his last match for Wales.
It was hard not to feel sympathy but the brutal truth is that his reactions and spring appear dented by the passage of time. He turns 40 next year and, on Saturday, it showed. Defensive shortcomings caused the first and fifth goals, but Jones's misplaced clearance allowed Marek Mintal to put Slovakia 2-0 ahead and he was then beaten from long range by Mintal and Miroslav Karhan.
Over careers any goalkeeper makes mistakes," said Jones. "When any other keeper gets in, they will make mistakes. I am going out there to give 100% until I am told I am not in the team...."
"...Jones was diplomatic. "They are as frustrated as I am," he said. Craig Bellamy, who was chosen above Jones to captain Wales in the absence of Ryan Giggs, offered support. "I can make one or two mistakes out there and I'll be very unfortunate if they lead to a goal. If you make a mistake as a goalkeeper, inevitably it's going to cost you a goal." Toshack has the options of Blackburn's Jason Brown or Ipswich's Lewis Price as replacements and he admitted he did not know whether he would pick Jones again...."

In the League,
Ex-QPR midfielder, Justin Cochrane won the 'Man Of the Match Award" playing for Rotherham. On the other side, was on loan QPR forward, Stefan Moore who was booked and substituted.

Ian Edwards at Vale Park Monday October 9, 2006 The Guardian
"...There was a freedom and inventiveness in their play that generated goals from Justin Cochrane, Will Hoskins and Dave Hibbert.
Cochrane was an unstoppable force throughout and generated sufficient loop from a stooping header to evade Mark Goodlad. It was the first of two goals in six second-half minutes and, having thrown away a two-goal lead against Millwall the previous weekend, Rotherham were in no mood to repeat such benevolence.

Meanwhile at Brighton, managed by ex-QPR Dean Wilkins a 0-3 home defeat to Blackpool who had Ian Evatt playing (but no Marcus Bean even on the bench) "Disgruntled Brighton fans turn on Wilkins
"...The Brighton manager, Dean Wilkins, can count himself fortunate that he has already been promised the job of replacing Mark McGhee until the end of the season.
Judging by the boos that rung around the Withdean Stadium after Keith Southern's goal and two from substitute Scott Vernon had condemned the Seagulls to a fifth successive defeat, some of the club's supporters are already beginning to question the appointment.
Wilkins has won only two of eight games in charge...
While Wilkins was left surveying the wreckage, opposite number Simon Grayson could not hide his elation. Grayson said: "We have set our standards with two good wins in and a row and there is no reason, if we play like that, we cannot compete at the right end of the table." Telegraph

Elsewhere, Leroy Rosenior's Brentford drew with Bristol City. In the non-league, John Hollins's and Tony Scully'sCrawley won and Hollins was happy. Meanwhile, ex-Welsh international goalie Tony Roberts played in Dagenham's 5-0 win (with Bruce on the bench).
