Shocking clash of heads in the Steveage Southend game tonight. Timlin's cut is not for the faint hearted. League 2 playoff clash of heads

Beefy78

Glad Tims is alright. **** game on a horrible pitch though. All to play for at Roots Hall on Thursday.

What a ridiculous game between Swindon and Sheffield United. 7 mins left. 5 all on the night and Swindon up by a goal on aggregate

dreamers75

5-5 Swindon Sheff Utd

7-6 Swindon on agg 7 minutes added on

Chagan

Absolute cracker at the County Ground! 5-5, Swindon ahead 7-6 on aggregate and seven minutes added on.

That_Guy

This is such a crazy game.

citytillidie

That was some game, i wanted extra time

Wrongway1985

That was superbly entertaining thought it was a straight forward win at 3-0, Had the Prem game on at same time not as entertaining until Swansea scored of course . Great never say die attitude from Sheff United

League One is just a horrible division to get out of, or stay in. Preston should be favourites but depends if they choke like they did last game of season.

Totally Sheff United prime example reaching playoffs 3/4 years still averaging 19,000 a season in League 1 too which is remarkable.

Another is Leyton Orient played some great stuff last season and failed at the final hurdle, relegated this year!

Clubs coming down from the Championship to there some examples Portsmouth,Yeovil,Southend,Plymouth,Scunthorpe,Tranmere Rovers couldn't adapt found wanting eventually dropped another status.

New Oldham boss Darren Kelly only in the job a week and is getting death threats

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32699022

He tweeted about Martin McGuinness calling him a legend back in Feb after being pictured with his mum at the 43rd anniversary of Bloody Sunday were she lost her brother and the Daily Mail picked it up and wrote about it.

League One is the best league in England, IMO. Always incredibly exciting and unpredictable, good mix of clubs with usually a couple of fallen Giants in there up against former non-league minnows, plenty of goalscorers and lots of fun as we saw last night.

Its as exciting as the Championship at this stage no doubt, Also thought it was kind of inconsiderate of the Prem to host a game (Arsenal v Swans) the same time as the FL have a play-off on given the weeks they're on is known at season start not to mention there were weeks over the season with no PL matches on a Monday.

Receiving over 10 million per game shown has a lot to do with the Premier league tbh

Whats the story with the Blackpool Huddersfield game? Are they going to award in to Huddersfield or what seeing as its dead rubber anyway? Probably not huge money at stake but 3 points moves huddersfield up and spot and leeds down 1.

The Football League has entered nil nil as the final score into the record books.

Yes but Sky and BT say what games are on tv and when.

Nothing is said when Premier League goes against the Football League every Saturday lunch time.

Also the reason there is no Monday night football all seaon long is because they can only show a certain amount of games in that time slot

Dozen Wicked Words

Pitch looking very good at Roots Hall considering how wet it is in Southend. Might cut up a bit though.

Ya I'd say it's because Friday PL games are looming now too, a usual broadcast time for FL games.

Hope that miss doesn't come back to haunt corr he's been fantastic all season for Southend

Wrongway1985

Maybe so Goal Stevenage

Beefy78

LEONARD!!! Get in!

Wrongway1985

Lashed home by the substitute

Wrongway1985

96th min pen....Missed by Corr!! not his night at all!!

Beefy78

****s sake. Barry.

Chagan

Journalists across the country weep as their "Sick as a Parrett" headline disappears.

Chrissybhoy

I've no sympathy for him now after making a balls of the first chance. He has to smack that pen and keep it down at least.

Stevecw

Thought it was a harsh enough peno in the 1st place. Bad night for Corr alrite, he had the look of someone who wasn't confident. Happy to have 30 more mins of this anyway

He scored a dinked pen about six weeks ago against Wimbledon and he's thought he's Pirlo ever since. I love the bloke but it is annoying.

Fair enough there's noting wrong with it. But after missing a great chance for messing about. You say to yourself right last kick of the send us to Wembley I'm not having a great night hit the target with some pace anyway

Johner

Only turned on for extra time, not sure how Southend aren't home and hosed here. This has a Stevenage penalty win written all over it.

Johner

Goal for Southend, fully deserved as well.

Beefy78

I can't take this! Come on Southend!

Stevecw

Overall that is well deserved, surely they'll hang on now.

On loan. We've a few Irish lads. Deegan just coming on, Corr, Bolger at the back.

Johner

Stevenage don't seem to have anything left in the tank.

Johner

Cracking finish by Timlin.

Johner

Southend - Wycombe should be a cracker.

WE'RE THE FAMOUS SUFC AND WE'RE GOING TO WEMBLEY!

Gary Deegan used to be a walking Yellow/Red card at the Cobblers, liability virtually every game! Good luck in final, hopefully your lot can turn Wycombe over. Ainsworth can only be described in ways that would merit a card on this forum.

Beefy78

He's become a bit of a cult hero at Southend. Mainly because he has a beard and goes around kicking people.

Jelle1880

Boro go 1-0 up against Brentford, great goal from Tomlin.

edit: Slight deflection on the shot, might have been saved otherwise.

Jelle1880

2-0, Boro surely through now.

Great pass to set it up from Tomlin.

edit: 3-0 after a great break from Boro.

Still a long way to go for it to happen, but if it does it would be excellent for the north-east to have Sunderland, Newcastle and 'Boro all in the Premier League next season.
