With 10 mins to go in the Championship deciders, it's all between Birmingham and Doncaster who goes down to League 1......

Bolton 2-1 Birmingham (Zigic scored for Brum just now)
Leicester 1-0 Doncaster

Doncaster ahead by ONE point, but they have a worse GD, so another goal for Birmingham would send Doncaster down!

In reality, it's a straight fight between Reading and Brighton for the last playoff place. (Blackburn need a massive number of goals to join the fray - they've scored FOUR but Wigan have replied with 3 of their own.)

And with both Reading (against Burnley) and Brighton (against Forest) drawing, it's Reading who are ONE point clear at the moment.

90 MINS AND BRIGHTON SCORE!!!!! THEY MOVE AHEAD OF READING.

90 MINS AND BIRMINGHAM SCORE!!!!! THEY MOVE AHEAD OF DONCASTER.

Keep watching............

PHEW!!!!!!!!!!

Final scores:

Bolton 2-2 Birmingham
Leicester 1-0 Doncaster

Birmingham 44pts (GD -16)
Doncaster 44 pts (GD -44)

Doncaster relegated.

Reading 2-2 Burnley
Forest 1-2 Brighton

Brighton 72 pts
Reading 71 pts
Brighton into the playoffs.

OK then, nearly over for Leagues 1 & 2.

League 1:

Wolves and Brentford already promoted; Preston, Orient, Rotherham, Peterborough in Playoffs.

Stevenage and Shrewsbury already relegated, plus TWO from Notts County, Crewe, Tranmere, Carlisle.

75 mins gone and County have just equalised at Oldham! Crewe and Tranmere are winning, but Carlisle are 0-3 down at Wolves. As it stands, Crewe 51 pts, County 50pts, Tranmere 50pts, Carlisle 45pts. County have a far superior GD so should survive most permutations!

Oh, oh...80 mins and Bradford equalise at Tranmere!

Oh, oh, oh....85 mins and Bradford take the lead - looks like curtains for Tranmere.

All over in L1:

Crewe's win and County's point would have kept them safe anyway. So it's Tranmere and Carlisle who drop down.

League 2:

Chesterfield, Rochdale, Scunthorpe already promoted. Fleetwood, Burton, York, Southend in playoffs.

Torquay already relegated to the Conference. Bristol Rovers, Northampton, Wycombe on the verge of joining them.

85 mins gone and Northampton and Wycombe are winning but Rovers are 0-1 down against Mansfield and look to be halfway through the exit door!

All over in L2:

Northampton's victory saw them soar out of danger and Wycombe's THREE goal advantage kept them in the League. Bristol Rovers join Torquay in the Conference.

There was a young man named Zamora,
He fancied himself as a scorer.
With Keogh asleep, he silenced the sheep
And buried it in the top corner!

... HaHa! What a perfect end to the season! ... Can't stop laughing!! :-)

"e = MC squared.....and the M stands for Messi."
