Injury time equaliser by FGR is a bit of a sickener for Scarborough but the are still in it. They must remember to take their luncheon meat sandwiches with them for the replay.
Good win for Harrogate at Marine, and York live to fight another day.
Not so good for Bradford City and no giant killing by Whitby Town at Bristol Rovers.
In the league a very impressive 0-1 for Leeds United at top of the table Leicester City. Fantastic game, but I'm biased.

Well done to all the Yokshire teams still in it, with a chance to win it (however small)
Commiserations to those who fell by the way not through lack of effort.
And yes we'll done to Leeds United, bubbling just under the top. They seem to be gaining some momentum and 'it's not how you start the season but how you finish' that counts. Well set to finish higher. Keep your powder dry.

If all the relegated teams from last season, Leicester, Leeds and Southampton get promoted, which could happen.
I will be at the same time elated that Leeds have done it, whilst hating the system that gives the relegated clubs such a big advantage. I will also lose interest because I hate the Premier league.
Why is life so complicated, I can't help where I was born.

I have little interest in the Premier League and could name very few players from each team. However I first saw Leeds United at Eland Road some 58 years ago subsequently moved to West Yorksire and occasionally would see Leeds United.
I support a team in North Yorkshire but I have a soft spot for Leeds United, one of three or four clubs whose results are high on my list. I suppose I'm not a classic dyed in the wool supporter. I do however want them to do well partly because a successful team is good for the area and partly because I know it means so much to lots of people that I know including my barber a friend at Yorkshire Cricket and so many others.
I rarely watch high level footy either in person or on TV.I'd rather attend lower level footy where the players are not paid a fortune and where there is more of a link(psychological and physical) with supporters

A 400 mile round trip, rain all the way there and back, but not at the match. Sun always shines in Scarborough. I am still ok with driving long distances, so not a problem. Quite a good match. With a foot in both camps, so to speak, a draw was probably the right result. It was a shame for Scarborough to let it slip so late, although FGR missed a few good chances earlier. I was impressed with Whitley in goal, Karma, he has the perfect build for a goalkeeper, made some good saves, and looked very assured throughout. I see the replay is on Tuesday. I am doing some work in Worcester in the afternoon, and it is only 50 miles from there to Nailsworth, so may be tempted to go and see the tie completed. The winners get £41000 from the FA, which would be handy for Scarborough more than FGR.

Are these organised groundhops part of the 'Doing the 92' are do they cover non-league too. They are only non-league and usually at quite a low level. It involves getting clubs to change kick-off times to accommodate it with the approval of the league concerned, so it has to be in a league where an extra 50 or 60 spectators makes a difference to the clubs concerned and, obviously, where the participating clubs are close enough together to enable travel between them.

Tuesday November 14th, which incidentaly is King Charles III's 75th Birthday. ( mine's later this month)
I'll be at the LNER stadium , York for our replay v Chester. They played us off the park and hopefully will regret the missed chances.
As an aside, I went to watch Farsley v Darlington yesterday bottom team Darlo dominated and won 1 - 2 . Very well supported team
I queued up for chips but saw on the 'menu' it was 'ANY PIE WITH MUSHY PEAS - £4:00' Having a veggie diet I said to the lady, 'cheese and potato pie and peas, please'
The reply was ' we only do steak pie or pork pie' . That was not a surprise and I said,' I know that but it's either chips or chips and I'd like more variety.She laughed and said 'so that's a portion of chips then, do you want a drink?'
I realise I should start supporting FGR!

Yes lots of late goals. Frustrating for Scarborough. Relief for Sheffield Utd. I have family in Farsley and Farsley Celtic seem to have the loudest music blaring out and sometimes it seems that is during the match. Not sure what is going on there.

Family at Farsley? - Lovely place , Farsley is very much becoming a pretty trendy place, full of coffee shops , restaurants , countless hairderessers, beauty parlours and a fabulous independent book shop which we use for orders (we used to live down at Rodley , canalside).
Anyway the only thing I'd noticed about the music played at Celtic's ground was the eclectic mix, and which I quite liked. I don't recall music being played at the same time as football action but if someone has a property near by I suppose the music can be loud. I assume the person putting on the music is also the announcer - he's hard to understand at the best of times , particulalry when reading out the team personnel , reminds me of one of the priests in Father Ted, the one with the very boring low pitched voice. I mustn't complain though as I'm going there tomorrow evening .Farsley v Boston National League North and most of the 'helpers' are volunteers , it's that sort of family club .I'll pay attention to the music though

Farsley is indeed a coming place….some good cafes and restaurants. Also a grocers called Sutcliffe’s and the book shop is Truman’s (not Trueman but almost. And of course it’s most famous son is Raymond Illingworth. For those not watching Farsley Celtic tomorrow, the Northern Cricket Society’s guest speaker at Headingley is Mark Peel, author of a new book about Ray called Yorkshire Grit.

Well hawke Farsley 2 - 0 Boston , good game and both goals clear penalties for clumsy tackles.
I've realised why music is played during the match. After each goal, for Farsley, the PA boomed out with a raucous tune while the players and supporters celebrated. I don't know the name of the tunes which went something like:
da da da da da da da da dada da da da
I've never really 'noticed' this music before, but today I paid particular attention instead of singing along with other supporters. I suppose if you lived in the vicinity of the ground you'd really notice this music at 21:30.
First home win for Farsley Celtic this season. A scout for an un-named Scottish club sat next to me. I gave him the benefit of my assessment of key players and he must have an excellent memory as he didn't need to write any of this down.
