    As usual former ref Peter Walton (Northampton fan) is in the studio for BT 

    His mood over the last 90 minutes has gone downhill fast. 
    Great TV with the rest of the pundits laughing at him as he has been getting more and more stressed.

    They've had to halt play @ Bristol Rovers what with the celebrations after the 7th goal

    So if Northampton score, Bristol Rovers might have plenty of time to get an 8th

    BR would be gutted if Northampton get a 4th now. Imagine winning 7-0 & not getting promoted.

    That's a ridiculous scoreline Rovers have achieved there. Imagine how glorious the party will be tonight if they go up, or how down they'll be if Northampton score again!

    Cant accuse it of being a fix either... Scunthorpe have been shite all season

    Bristol Rovers cant have hoped for a better opponent today

    Northampton are down to ten men

    That was clever, seeing that the player is probably going to be needed for another two games at the very least.

    A goal and 3 assists for Elliot Anderson, who's been brilliant for them, and someone much higher clubs will be looking at to take on loan (if Newcastle allow him out)

    Imagine if Scunthorpe come back out and score after this 10min delay from the BR fans

    When Joey Barton tells you to get back into the stands, with his past, you do so...

    Can understand the fans, ridiculous score line and mental they’re going up considering where they were a few months ago

    Forgot he was still their Manager... He's done a great job to engineer this win, if they can pull it off

    What a horrible situation for the Northampton players and fans, having to wait around to find out the final score from the other game

    Awful ground, but a better awayday than Northampton

    Half-Time scores in League Two put the situation like this

    Champions: Exeter City
    Promoted: Forest Green Rovers | Northampton Town

    Play-Offs
     - Bristol Rovers vs Swindon Town
     - Mansfield Town vs Port Vale
    Half-Time compared with Full-Time

    Champions: Forest Green Rovers
    Promoted: Exeter City | Bristol Rovers

    Play-Offs
     - Northampton Town vs Mansfield Town
     - Port Vale vs Swindon Town

    I imagine the Northampton players and fans will be calling Scunthorpe variations of their team name, with certain letters left out...

    Seriously? If you win 7-0 on the last day to win promotion on goals scored i think they're entitled to a pitch invasion!

    What makes Rovers promotion even more remarkable is they only got into that position by coming from 3-1 down last week and scoring on 90 and 96 to win 4-3.

    2 games their fans won't forget in a hurry.
  • Ridiculous team selection from Scunthorpe - so many inexperienced players started today. Can't imagine Northampton will be happy....

    Lots of controversy over this one .. yes Scunny have been terrible, BUT Keith Hill selected a VERY weak team including a lot of youth players on/ near debut .. could be that as they will be in the Nat and will lose a lot of current players he was blooding a few .. equally it does stink and Northampton have a right to be furious about this .. still, little or nothing the Cobblers can do about it ..

    Congrats to Forest Green winning the title in the last ten minutes on goal difference .. new we have the start/finish of the play offs .. I LOVE the play offs though always a bit sorry for the losers, especially in this case if Northampton don't win
