Elanga was stunned when it went in

Not sure what's gone wrong at South Shields in the league below. This time only 7 days ago, they were 4 points clear of 2nd placed Fylde, but after only 1 point from their last 3 matches (and 9 for Fylde) they are now 4 points behind as well as an 11 goal GD swing. Shields lost 2-1 at Hereford on Saturday, while the current leaders went their tonight and won 4-1.

Won 1-0. Crazy. After 5 wins in 29, they've now won 5 of their last 9 and only 1 defeat. A couple of tough games coming up, but some of the teams from 19th up have, or might, be brought into it and Gateshead play 19th place Yeovil soon.

Over to the Arsenal match then, the only one of the ties that is still competitive.

Very bad weekend for Forest. All 4 sides with draws, but they would have been expecting to better both West Ham and Tottenham's results, potentially Leeds as well...

Been a good set of results this weekend. Not perfect as would have been nice had Forest have won, but we've moved up 3 places with a much harder fixture on paper than all of the sides we have passed. Sunderland losing always a bonus. Doesn't really affect us, but not sure what I'm hoping for in the 4.30pm match.

Shite, disallowed. Looked very close (Forest).

Gerrin Forest.

Ref forgot he booked Gudmundson, shown him another yellow, and eventually a red . Bad few mins for Leeds. Who knows if he would have booked him if he was aware.

Fucking wide

Subject to VAR of course.

Penna to Leeds.

Get in!

97.30

Why has the clocked stopped. Crazy stuff. Never seen that before.

Fucking clock stopped on Sky

We've had like 2 cards for time wasting.

Fair amount.

Just loads of break in play. I'd say 8 mins.

There should be a lot stoppage time, to be fair, before the complaints come in.

Blyth Town and Newton Aycliffe both lost on Tuesday, so not looking good for either. Thankfully Dunston beat Brighouse last night, and the latter also look in big relegation trouble and hard to see any of those 3 surviving, so it's probably 1 from about 4 or 5 to avoid that final relegation spot. Dunston also moved back in to the playoffs positions with that win, so a double bonus. It's great this time of the year with the games coming think and fast.

A lot of football to be played before Easter, but if the fixtures are still relatively live, I'll look to get to Carlisle vs Gateshead on Good Friday and South Shields vs Darlington on Easter Monday. Carlisle vs Gateshead isn't really a derby, but more significant to me as I live pretty much between both of them, so with both circa 30 miles away, they are both local to me. I much prefer Carlisle and hope they finished 3rd to secure a bye, but if that's looking fairly secure, then I'd probably want Gateshead to win if they are still in with a fighting chance of staying up. South Shields will be going for the title and Darlington the playoffs, although the latter have lost 3 on the spin, so may well be out of contention by then if their form continues.

Aye, it's probably better than Simba mattress' as before it just went to the start of the programme, now it goes to the start of the second half in the 90 mins. I have it downstairs on the proper TNT channels, so will insert my dominance if it goes to a pen shootout and watch it there, ha. Someone on Twitter said it was back working so I stuck it on and saw it was in play and just assumed it was fine, but of course that's too easy.

Shit, it's not. Said 2-1 West Ham, instantly looked and it's just in the 45th minute

Back up now, finally.
