HT: Linfield 2 Coleraine 0

Entertaining but nervy finish for the Linfield defence, the Blues worth their win though. Surprised that Coleraine didn’t really have a go until the last 10 despite having the extra man for the last third. Two lovely finishes from wee Jordan Stewart, surely Healy’s boys have it sewn up now?

HT: Linfield 2 Coleraine 0

FT: Linfield 2 Coleraine 1. Linfield 12 points clear at the top. Both teams finished with 10 men, although Coleraine had the advantage for about 20 minutes and could only score the once.

Linfield drop 2 points at Larne while Coleraine win at Milltown.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56704755  and  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56704756  Coleraine 10 points behind with a game in hand, a bridge too far, imho.

Glentoran win again - against Dungannon Swifts - to remain 2 points behind Coleraine with a game in hand. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56704156, so if they win both of those would be only 6 points behind the Blues.

North Belfast derby ends honours even.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56698459

Glenavon beat Ballymena and Portadown win against Carrick.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56702847  and  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56703787

Just when I thought Coleraine were going to hang on until half time, Glentoran score. Deserve it from what I've seen.

And that's the half time score. Coleraine have it all to do after the midweek draw between the same sides at The Oval.

The Glens have just had a goal disallowed for offside. I wonder if that will gee Coleraine up a bit?

30 minutes left and this is heading for an away win unless things change drastically.

And 1-1, Bradley equalises with a deft header.

15 minutes left, this could go either way.

Linfield the winners, as this ends 1-1

Blues and Reds both win - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56784858 and https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56781313

Linfield top P 32 Pts 70, Coleraine second, 11 points behind P 32, third Glentoran P 31 pts 57, fourth Larne P 31 Pts 55, fifth Cliftonville P31 Pts 53, and sixth Crusaders P 32 Pts 50

Bottom half: Seventh Ballymena P 32 Pts 46, eighth Glenavon P 31 Pts 46, ninth Warrenpoint Town P 31 Pts 27, tenth Portadown P 31 Pts 24, elevnth Carrick Rangers P 32 Pts 20 and bottom Dungannon Swifts P 32 Pts 16.

Linfield's title charge is (temporarily) halted as the Blues lose at Mourneview. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56874821  Linfield on 70 points, 7 clear of Glentoran.

Coleraine still third after a derby day win at Ballymena, a point behind the Glens. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56871488

Dungannon lose again as Crusaders win at Stangmore. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56874289  Crusaders sixth, two points behind Larne.

Cliftonville go nap against Carrick and are fourth, another hattrick from Michael McCrudden. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56873522 The Reds are fourth, 6 points behind Coleraine.

And Portadown beat Warrenpoint who finished with 10 men. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56873724

Everybody has played 33 games, so all outstanding fixtures have been played.

Irish Cup. HT Linfield 0 Annagh United 0. Why they're showing this match I don't know, maybe expecting lots of goals, not much sign of that so far. There are 3 all Premiership ties, surely one of them would have been better being shown.

Linfield finally score after 53 minutes, so that'll be that.

Final score, 2-0 to Linfield, but Annagh United weren't disgraced by any means.

 Coleraine's season is over as they lose 1-0 to Crusaders at the Showgrounds.

Dungannon Swifts 0 Carrick Rangers 2. Not much of a game, to be honest. Carrick were somewhat fortunate to be 2 up at half time, in my opinion, but saw the game out comfortably despite going down to 10 men 12 minutes into the second half. Thought the pair of them should have been sent off.

Agreed, perhaps against the run of play but two well taken goals from Gawne and Anderson though. Back to earth with a bump last night though, convincingly beaten by the Sky Blues at home. Linfield within touching distance of the title now though after beating Crues' 3-1 at Windsor.  Still think its been a decent season all round though entertainment wise, despite the current circumstances.

Crusaders win at The Oval, Glentoran looked out of sorts, maybe the Crues didn't let them play.  Ballymena went nap against Dergview.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/northern-ireland/57076972

Linfield and Larne make up the semi finalists after beating Loughgall and Carrick respectively.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57078669

Glenavon 4 Warrenpoint Town 0. Routine win for the Lurgan Blues, third goal from the freekick was a cracker, thought it was pretty slip shod defending for the first goal.

Will the Blues support be nervously looking over their shoulders after a late defeat at home to Larne this afternoon with a trip to Coleraine up next? Their last fixture at Solitude isn’t a given either![emoji15] Keeps it interesting for the neutrals I guess.

5  points in front - Coleraine will f*** it up as usual, despite a good win at Seaview. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57095078

I'm not sure they'll get too far with their legal action, though. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57163684

Linfield cruise past Ballymena, 3-0. I switched off after the second goal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/57165835

Enjoyed the final from Lurgan tonight, Larne had a real go at the start of the second half but the result never seemed in doubt, despite a late consolation. A huge lift for Linfield as they try to seal the double on Tuesday night. Young Joel Cooper deserved MOM for me tonight.
