Yeah, effectively 7 with the huge GD swing, not helped by Blyth Town losing 7-0 today. Win on Monday and its job done, but realistically, a point should be enough. Massive boost for all the teams down the bottom in that Ossett United, currently just above the drop, lost against rock bottom Brighouse, who it felt had lost about 9 in a row. Blyth Town were battered today, but, ironically, the table is probably looking a bit better for them than it was 3 hours ago, due to that surprise Ossett result. Very big game on Monday.

88th minute winner for Dunston! They improved a bit in the second half, but Bradford PA will still be wondering how they lost that. 4 point gap now in the playoffs race.

On course for my second non league 0-0 in successive days, although that said, Dunston will be delighted they are still level as they could have easily been 0-3 down. Bradford hit the bar and Dunston's veteran keeper has made some fantastic saves.

Currently at Dunston vs Bradford PA. 5th vs 6th, so will go a long way in determining the final playoff spot. Dunston are a point ahead, but looking at both sides remaining fixtures, feels Dunston really need to win.

I'm on way way to Carlisle now, packed train. Which end did you end up going in?

Cambridge vs Swindon is a pretty big match in League Two tonight on Sky. Swindon can go joint 3rd if they win, but will be looking over their shoulder a bit, in terms of staying in the playoffs, if they lose.

Not sure what happened to Hartlepool tonight. Coming into their match with Wealdstone on the back of 3 wins, the opponents on the back of 3 losses and 9 points adrift of Hartlepool, ended up losing 7-0! Pretty much ruins their play off hopes. Fylde won at home to move 4 points clear of South Shields (having played a game more). I didn't realise Spennymoor were in such good form after getting ride of Graeme Lee. They are now level on points with the final play off spot, albeit with a -7 GD, but that's a very big match for them against Sputh Shields on Good Friday. There's a half decent chance that Shields could be 6 or 7 points adrift of Fylde ahead of their Easter Monday match with Darlington, which I might be going to. 2 leagues lower Blyth T and Ashington drew 2-2. Blyth move to within a point of survival, but feels like 2 points dropped with Ossett playing Brighouse on Saturday.

It's class just watching the results come in with teams you normally wouldn't be focusing on as much. Great minute for York, they take the lead and about a minute later their only rivals Rochdale fall behind.

That result did Dunston no favours at the other end in their play off push, although it maybe does add a bit more life into Heaton's season as if they beat Blyth Town today, they will be within 3 points of 5th. That's a big game now. Dunston are at home to Bradford PA next Saturday, current 5th vs 6th. I might go to that and just have a big footballing Easter weekend. Carlisle-Gateshead Friday, Dunston-Bradford Saturday, South Shields-Darlington Monday. I see Newcastle Women are actually at home on the Sunday, but 4 in 4 days might be too much, ha.

Fantastic win for Ashington last night, 1-0 at home to promotion chasing Dunston. That should just about see them safe. Blyth Town do have a game in hand and 7 games left, but it's hard to see them passing them, although Blyth have won 3 on the spin and have some reasonable looking fixtures. It is looking like the 3 NE sides in the bottom 3 will drop. Ossett play Grimsby today, so at least one will pick up points there. Probably best from a NE POV that Grimsby win that one with them having an extra point and a game in hand, plus would be a home match wasted for Ossett, but Ossett do still have to play Brighouse who are in absolute free fall so they probably will get the 3 points there.

I see Redcar Athletic beat Matlock last night to win the league and secure back to back promotions into the 7th tier next season. We'll backed, but apparently Matlock's budget is bigger so they've done very well, especially to secure the title with 6 games to go. Could play Hebburn and Morpeth next season, or neither.

Some interesting results in the National League tonight. Scunthorpe 2 Rochdale 2 - so the title race is back in @Yorkie hands. If York win all their remaining matches, they will almost certainly win the league, bar some absolute freak Rochdale wins. That result also keeps Scunthorpe at bay from Carlisle's perspective in terms of the race for 3rd (and a play off bye). Morecambe 2 Hartlepool 3 - Hartlepool 2 points off the playoffs and they play 7th place Southend at home in their remaining games so still a chance for them to make them, but arguably more importantly, keeps Morecambe 6 points off Gateshead towards the bottom.

I'm trying to convince my dad, brother and nephews to go and make a full day of it. We'll be in the Carlisle end, mind, if we go. I was thinking there may be a few venturing west if the weather is decent, with no Premier League that day.

3 zip!

Hammer blow for York as it was previously in their hands with them playing Rochdale on the final day, but not anymore unless they score 3 without reply.

Great stuff. Definitely looking to go to Carlisle vs Gateshead on Good Friday.

Aye, but the optics of 40% of your league being in the capital is fucking shite, so I'm anyone but them, even if Southampton or Ipswich are just as far, or harder to get to, or have stank it up before, it will be much better not being so London orientated. I was mainly hoping Spurs or West Ham went down for that reason to decrease the current number. 8 would be horrific.

Aye, will be class to have 8 London sides in the top flight next season when Forest go down.

Currently at MTK Budapest vs Paksi. I was thinking #25 looked OK for MTK. Checked at half time, none other than Tamas Kadar.

Don't think I've ever seen a match stop so abruptly before. Not complaining, just very surprised.

Have we ever conceded 8 in the Premier League era? I know Arsenal put 7 past us under Pards, but don't remember us shipping 8 before.

Can't see us getting back into it now.

Is nobody else bothered by the commentating? It's pretty much a spoiler as it's well ahead of play. Ruins the big moments.

Summerton was saying GORDON a good few seconds before it came to him.

TNT commentating seems a few seconds ahead of play for me.
