90 mins - Time has nearly run out and Alty's players look truly dejected out there.
They've given their all but have still come away with nothing - sometimes there is just no justice in this world.
The two Grahams are just standing motionless, i don't think they know quite what to make of this.

GOAL - 90(+4) mins - Alty 2 (Little) Crawley 3 - A late consolation for Alty as Little chips Bayes to make the scoreline more respectable.
It matters little though, as the Robins will still go home with absolutely nothing.

I'm looking forward to the report and post match reaction.

Anyone slashed the tyres on those Crawley cars yet!

Wouldn't it be funny if they forget one or 2 of the players ("What? I thought he was in your car") or if the credit cards are refused at the petrol station.

FULL TIME - I feel like I've had my heart ripped clean from my chest.
When you follow a team so closely it's impossible not to make an emotional investment in them and on nights like this that means utter dejection.
But if I feel like this, it's hard to imagine how the players, coaches and fans feel. They really must be inconsolable.
After a defeat like this, you seriously worry about Alty's chances of survival and considering the result hinged on a questionable - and that's being kind - refereeing decision, it's enough to drive you to despair.
Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson ranted about the standard of refereeing after his side's FA Cup exit at the weekend and he's not even been subjected to the officials in the Blue Square Premier.
Too often we see incompetent, whistle-happy referees ruin games and that's certainly been the case tonight.

 So thanks Mr Procter-Green, you've made my night.
