Coke row irks Schumacher

Bury captain Steven Schumacher is disappointment about an on-field altercation with team-mate Giles Coke during Saturday's 3-2 win over Yeovil.

Coke was brought down by Glovers' defender Joe Edwards to win his side a first-half penalty and immediately grasped the ball. However, Schumacher - who earlier opened the scoring - is Bury's designated penalty taker and the pair became embroiled in a row, having to be separated by team-mates before both received yellow cards. Former Everton trainee Schumacher converted the spot-kick and later insisted he was unhappy with Coke's conduct. "It's disappointing that it happened like that," he told BBC Sport. "For him to pick the ball up and for it to turn out like that is a bit disappointing for me."
