The last 10 minutes: text update!

10.03pm: I wish I could type faster. Mott just shot into the side netting. It's all over! 2-2!

10pm: Not long left, surely we can get this draw and end the little run of defeats. Last time we played Mott it ended 4-4, so another draw on the cards. Coach Robertshaw is shouting: "Stop panicking" Lots of defending going on, with the Accies trying to attack on the break.

9.58pm: Controversy! Referee Henry blows for time, with the lights still on and maybe 5 mins to go. Good sense prevails and the match is restarted. Good grief. The Hut is explaining some weird Accies keeping mix-up to me, I can't follow it.

9.57pm: Brilliant, that was brilliant! Someone slid a ball in and Perre smacked it in from about six yards out.

9.56pm: Billy's making a run and The Hut says he's worse than Wally Waller! One for the Norwich fans, there. Luis is indeed on the pitch, GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!

9.55pm: Right, let's see how easy it is to type while The Hut talks me through the closing stages. Ah, speakerphone will surely come in handy.

9.52pm: As I type, Anthony has just received his hero's farewell, so young Anton is in goal and Mr Emery's Accies career has come to an end, at least in the 'turning up week in, week out' sense. A hearty round of applause is the least this Accies legend deserves. So long and thanks for all the saves - hopefully there'll be other opportunities for Ant to play for the Accies again in the coming months and years.

Nice work bruv! It was Thorney's ball in for the equaliser. I got the ball to Thorney though!

I should point out that "Billy's making a run and The Hut says he's worse that Waller Waller" isn't, as it might appear, implying that BILLY is worse than Wally Waller - rather that THE HUT is describing HIMSELF as such! Not that anyone has taken umbrage!
