Jimmy Glass! The goalkeeper's done it!

Will Hesmer's injury time goal for Columbus was a real kick in the teeth, a perfect "why not?  everything else has gone wrong this season" moment to put the cap on the last home league game.  But it could have been worse.

This is one of the all time great moments of joy/soul crushing despair in small team football history.  1999, last day of the season, relegation out of the football league on the line for Scarborough or Carlisle United, depending on results in 2 different games.

This is a good recap of how the day broke down, including footage of Scarborough fans celebrating on the pitch as they thought they were safe.

This is the story from the other game, injury time, the goalie goes up for the corner...

Incredible stuff.
