Two end of season friendlies for Leeds announced today playing in Burma. If they gave us enough notice I'd be booking flights, but three weeks isn't enough notice for me. A few lads already booked flights over though/.

Where are they going next Summer? Iran? North Korea?

Promotion party in Doncaster tomorrow night, over 3,500 Rovers fans making the trip over the Pennines. A win will definitely see us promoted; if we draw or lose then we rely on Peterborough taking some points off Shrewsbury.

You must be very happy tonight with Blackburn promotion backed to Championship.

Oldham 0-3 Southend :{
Rochdale 1-1 Plymouth
:'(

It game which Oldham couldn't afford to lose they just did that and terrible news is with Dale picking up point it mean Oldham drop into bottom 4 with only two games to go. Oldham 21 years stay in third tier of English football look set to come to end if they lose to Doncaster on Saturday.

We only returned home late on Saturday from our week in Eastbourne, so I have not reported this week on the two away fixtures Hyde had to play:-

Thursday, 19th April
Radcliffe Borough 0...Hyde United 2

Saturday, 21st April
Mossley 1...Hyde United 2

Next Saturday sees Hyde's last league home match against Colwyn Bay.

I'm surprise you didn't mention that with Hyde beating Mossley on Saturday it mean Hyde were promotion to Northern Premier League division.

Liverpool take one foot into the final of the Champions League with a 5-2 victory over Roma. Although can Roma pull off another 3-goal recovery in Rome?

Hopefully Madrid/Munich will be a good match, come on Munich!

Great night for Rovers, back from the depths of the third division at the first attempt. Mowbray has done a good job.

Now can I be greedy and hope we take the title too ?

If someone had offered me 5-2 before kick off, I'd have taken it.

Why exactly are Leeds touring Burma?

Me too.

I was disappointed Salah got taken off. Danny Ings tries hard but he doesn’t scare people like Salah does and Roma were able to push a little further forward once he was introduced and they scored very soon after.

The penalty decision against Milner was ridiculous. The ball hit his side for crying out loud. Why don’t the goal line officials bother helping in these situations??

Congratulations!

I'm disappointed that we didn't get to relegate Franchise FC last night, but it was a good solid win after what's been a disastrous 2018 for the Bantams.

I was fuming at the time. Calmed down now. Ha ha. Thing is when he goes off our heads drop, happened at City. Also Roma saw a bit of hope.

So was I. This summer, I think we need to sign a wide forward, goalkeeper, centre back and two midfielders in addition to Naby Keita.

It wasn't a penalty in a month of Sundays, no arguments about their first goal though.

We will score at their place. No bother.
If they got two goals early on that would worry me a bit, but yes, it is in our favour that they will have to come at us, especially given the way we play. Our forwards are very mobile and if they get a bit of space they can obviously do some damage.

Oxlade-Chamberlain ruled out for the rest of the season and the World Cup. Gutted for the lad.

Me too, I think he'll be a very important player for us in the future.

Two fundraisers which have been set up to help the family of Liverpool supporter Sean Cox have so far raised over £9,000 combined.

What a feeling; over 24 hours later I'm still (r)over the moon. Hopefully we don't take our foot off the gas and win these final two games and maybe just pip Wigan to the title.

Absolutely :D Though a third division trophy is like a plastic toy compared to the other silverware in our trophy cabinet :lol:

Self promoting ego boosting trip for our owners by the looks of it who owns various media outlets in the area. Apparently the club aren't receiving a penny for the tour, all just seems to be about promoting his businesses.

Everton today. A win will pretty much guarantee survival and a draw will go a heck of a long way towards that...

However, we're favourites with the bookies and Mark Lawrenson has predicted us to win, so I'm now expecting that we'll get hammered! So much so that I've gone for the away win in my acca.

Oldham 0-0 Doncaster

Fair result as both teams didn't really test goalkeeper that much, it probably good thing that Doncaster season is over as they probably would beaten us if they played a lot better.

Oxford 2-1 Rochdale

This defeat for Dale was good news for Oldham as it mean Rochdale drop into bottom 4 and Oldham move to 20th in table.

League One table
20th: Oldham - PD 45 - 49 Points (GD -17)
--------------------------------------------------
21st: Rochdale - PD 45 - 48 Points (GD -9)

Unless Walsall and Wimbledon lose on Tues night it look more than likely it be between Oldham and Rochdale to whoever finishes in last relegation places. Oldham are away to Northampton and Rochdale are at home to Charlton on last day of season.

Stockport 1 v Darlo 1 - typical end of season game. 6163 inside Edgeley Park to see the darlo mind.

That is a fantastic crowd for a national North game

A poor result for Liverpool today, with a good result for Sheffield Wednesday.

Warrington Town lost 2-1 today, which means they finish third. Their first play-off match is on Tuesday evening.

Franchise FC finally relegated !

If there's any justice, Wimbledon will stay up, and Franchise FC will spend the next few years sliding down the leagues to the South Midlands league where they should have been required to start off in 2004.

And with that result Stockport face Chorley in the play-off quarter final on Wednesday. After missing out at the final hurdle last year hopefully the Magpies can go one better this time round.

A great performance by Bradford beating 2nd, 3rd and 4th in our last three matches and scoring a last-ditch winner at Kidderminster to make the play-offs on goal difference. Looks like we now have to beat the same three teams again to go up, all away from home. Nobody at our club realistically expects us to do it, and we're not really set up for the National League. In fact we only avoided relegation two weeks ago at Boston. Quite a roller coaster of a season.

Will you be going on Wednesday? Struggling to get the day off work so might have to do with BBC Radio Worcestershire, apparently they broadcaster the game on Saturday so hope they are on Wednesday. Excellant end to the game on Saturday.

What happened there? Not hard anything about any bother we caused.
Trespassing and being a bit of a nuisance egging Leicester supporters on, who were stood on the opposite island.

Shame really as many seemed to be in good spirits but once it kicked off, more people joined in and it got very vocal plus there were a couple of scuffles with BTP. Obviously all clubs have their own idiots but the Leeds lot there were pretty intimidating. I can't say I even felt like that last time I went to Elland Road. TBH I don't really understand why it even got vocal as I don't even know any rivalry between Leeds and Leicester.

Station staff were hopelessly outnumbered. They had to re-route the Leeds train into Platform 1 to shepherd them all away.
