99th minute goal gives a Harrogate a glimpse of a lifeline ! Barrow, Tranmere and Newport all lost.

Yes, I saw that. Plus Newport were drawing until conceding an 82nd minute winner and Tranmere were drawing until conceding an 84th minute winner, quite early really compared to the Harrogate winner

Driving back from Gatwick after being away for a week so not had chance to really understand what happened or comment, but it is a life line and a half!

Think Town still really need 4 points to have a chance from two matches, 6 points feels impossible with Walsall away. Going to get my tickets for Barnet tomorrow !

Celtic vs St Mirren Scottish Cup SF tomorrow.

We ( Saints ) played them off the park in the second half at Celtic Park last week but toothless up front and suffered our 3rd 1-0 league loss against them this season though of course we memorably beat them 3-1 in the League Cup Final.

Amyway it will surely be a better match than today's Dunfermline vs Falkirk SF which was quite awful in its dreary incompetence until it did finally wake up in the second period of extra time, particularly surprising from Falkirk. It finished 0-0 with Championship side Dunfermline winning the penalty shootout 4-2.

Near the 90 minute mark I queried to the BBC website ""Is this the worst SF in living memory?" and they posted my question onto their Live Reporting of the match with the number of thumbs up underneath telling a story ( showing at 128 to 10 when I looked just now ).

Just caught up on Town and looks like we were the big winners today. V tight now overall but weve got it all to do. 4 points may be enough, needs results to go our way. Feels like 6 is what we will need, meaning beating Walsall away and Barnet at home. Walsall away and a single point there feels a stretch and I feel we cant expect to get 4. You never know, we may make it if results go our way but still feels like we are the underdogs.

Big match and hope St Mirren can do a cup double over them!

Hadnt realised Neil Lennon was Dunfermline manager - I guess he will be hoping for Celtic in the final?

Harrogate likely to be replaced by York
I see that Rochdale got a very late winner today to remain just 2 points behind York with 2 matches left
And it's Rochdale vs York on the last day !

The last game National League decider remains on after Rochdale concede an equaliser in the 91st minute but save themselves with a 99th minute winner. Another 99th minute winner to add to Harrogate.

So Rochdale vs York with York 2 points ahead but their 26 better GD now counting for nothing. Clearly a Rochdale win promotes Rochdale and anything else promotes York.

I would assume rhat he'd rather like to win it and would see St Mirren as giving Dunfermline the best chance. So I'd say a no to that.

The Celtic vs St Mirren SF was certainly much better than the first SF dross.

And take out the first and last minutes of the first half and 6 minutes of mayhem in the first period of extra time and all was good and we had them quaking.

Now play like you did in the second half guys for the rest of the league season.

6-2!? Howd that happen. I saw it went to extra time but didnt check after to see how it ended.

Good effort by St Mirren though - hard to see Dinfermline bothering Celtic in the final tbh

4 goals in 6 minutes including celebrations and restarts

A walk in the Meadows park on a nice sunny afternoon became the best option at HT in ET.

I'm just off Nicholson Steet, about 400 yards from the Meadows. I was watching it in Doctors pub just off the top of the Meadows.

Ah, other side of the university, closeish to cow gate.

Hope is over the other side at Argyll Place area, Marchmont sort of area these days.
