We all had a chuckle when Barnsley accidentally submitted a bid for St Mirran's Stevie Mallan to a St Mirran fan site. But it's not the only 'oops' communication moment we've had in football.

As the football season quickly reaches its conclusion, there's plenty of teams with nothing left to play for; they've already been relegated, promoted, or have just reached that 40 point milestone. We look at the teams coasting to the finale, including the Midlands side who've lost 4 in a row and broken a club record for not scoring! The players who certainly aren't on the beach are th
