The results that mattered for League 1 & 2...

League 1

Nottingham Forest 3 def Yeovil Town 2, that win by Forest enabled them to jump over Doncaster & Carlisle and win promotion.
Doncaster 1 lost 2 Cheltenham, choked :shock: at the line and gifted Forest a promotion berth
Carlisle 1 drew 1 Bournemouth, see Doncaster comment...

The draw saw Bournemouth confirmed as relegated back to League 2

League 2

There were no results that mattered as all promotion & playoff teams were confirmed, however Dags & Reds defeated Mansfield Town 2 nil and confirmed their relegation...

It is a HUGE night in the Coke league.

Stoke and Leicester are 0-0 but Southampton have fallen a goal down at home to Sheffield United...

Unfortunately for JTC, his Burnley are 2-0 down and a man down away to Palace.

I use http://www.livescore.com/ to get my live scores.

Stoke vs Leicester is on Fox at the moment as well so they are popping scores up. The Leicester fans must be getting their updates pretty fast as they were celebrating as soon as Quinn scored for the Blades.

QPR have had a man sent off against WBA and Southampton have made it 1-1!

Cardiff are playing a meaningless game tonight.. yet this drama is great.. I'm almost glad my team isn't involved even though it would be nice to be in the hunt for a playoff spot.

I wonder how drebin is handling this.

I can say watching Derby fail in the EPL is a lot easier on the heart, then watching them go through the promotion playoffs last year...

Southampton need to win, to have any chance of staying up...

Cardiff scored a late goal which gives them a 1-0 lead at HT.

However if we get out of this game with no injuries or red cards it will be like a win.. don't want anybody to miss the Cup Final, already have our skipper out.

If Watford lose (1 nil down) and Wolves get up, then Watford miss out on the playoffs !!

So many things can happen it's great !!

Watford were flying clear early in the season too, they are in shocking form (1 win from 13 I think) so you wouldn't mind drawing them in the playoffs if they make it.

In other games.. AC Milan 0 Inter 0, Hibs 0 Rangers 0. Both crucial games in those title races. They are half time scores.

Saints lead now, which means Leicester are in the bottom 3 and Stoke are dominating.

WBA lead 1-0... one hand on the title.

Cardiff are 2-0 up now.

Wednesday are up as are Blackpool...If Leicester get a winner then Coventry will go down !!

Clarets 3 - 0 down and one man down. Carlisle sent off again. He's only played two games including this on since a 3 match ban after getting sent off before.

Saints just scored. Stern John gets his 18th of the season and a booking for taking his shitr off. Soton 2 - 1 Sheff U

Carlton are belting Coventy 3 -1 and atm Leicester are holding Stoke 0 - 0. Leicester just hit the post.

Currently Leicester in the drop spot but if Charlton get another, Leicester would swap places with Coventry on goal difference.

As I type Palace go 4 - 0 up against Burnley.

Watford have just had a man sent off and immediately score to make it 1 - 1 at Blackpool

Sheff Wed winning 2 - 1 at Norwich.
