Just when Jim Jefferies thought he had seen it all in his long involvement in the game, his Dunfermline Athletic side managed to conjure up a back-from-the-dead 5-4 win over Stenhousemuir at Ochilview.
Dunfermline had trailed 3-0 early in the second half after John Gemmell, with his fifth goal of the season, Ross Smith and Sean Lynch all found the net.
Quickfire goals from Jordan Moore and Andy Geggan brought Dunfermline back into it, but their resurgence looked to be killed off when Sean Higgins made it 4-2 after 73 minutes.
But not a bit of it, as Dunfermline scored three times in the final seven minutes through Alan Smith, a Moore penalty and Geggan's second.
Brechin City edged Forfar Athletic 2-1 in another dramatic game. Craig Molloy and Alan Trouten gave them a 2-0 lead, but Iain Campbell pulled back a late penalty before seeing a second penalty saved by Graeme Smith.
East Fife beat Arbroath 2-1 with both sides ending up with 10 men. Scott Durie, who was one of those ordered off, put East Fife ahead and Liam Buchanan made it 2-0 with a penalty after Colin Hamilton was sent off for conceding it. Alan Cook scored for Arbroath.
Stranraer and Ayr United shared a 1-1 draw. Jamie Longworth gave Stranraer a seventh-minute lead when he fired home from Sean Winter's cross, but Michael McGowan equalised eight minutes from the break with a left-foot shot from the edge of the area.
Ryan Borris almost won it for Stranraer at the death, but his shot hit the crossbar.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
