The scenes at that third goal and FT were similar to the Partick play-off at Tannadice, mental. Also remember the pitch invasion by “the wee man” very well, was quality, and funny as the North Stand fans saluted him 🤣🖤🧡
We had a similar situation - drove through and arrived in not bad time for a normal game. Couldn't get parked anywhere near the ground though and had to go across the dual carriageway and park at the garden centre. Tried the two stands that we were supposed to be allowed in but both full. Legged it to the main stand and just coming through the turnstile as St Johnstone go 1-0 up. Get sat down just in time to see United win a penalty and Charlie sclaff it past the post, despite Main's best attempts to get out the way. This was quickly followed by St Johnstone's second.

As I recall, we just had to match St Mirren's result that day to secure SPL survival but they were 2-1 up at half time while we were 2-0 down. That would have left us with the nightmare scenario of a trip to Pittodrie the following week needing to win and hope for a favourable result elsewhere. The sheep would have loved to relegate us almost as much as the fun did. Thankfully Mr Hartley managed to get himself sent off and we mounted a famous comeback in the second half.
