On goalposts statistics

Why does the cat lick his balls?

Because it can.

Recently I saw a request on a stats of goal posts / crossbars hit per game. While I do have that statistic per player, I haven't one for games, so - since I can - why shouldn't I produce one?

About half an hour of Perl-ing created the following summary:
