00:00On the radio tonight, welcome to viewers who have joined us on BBC One Scotland, as ever, no shortage of drama in Scottish football.
00:17So many talking points today, Michael Stewart and Tom Winkers alongside me in the studio, some really important games.
00:23Let's take a bounce around the grounds. First stop, Tanner Dice, Alan Preston is there for us to do United up against St Mirren.
00:29It's a taily two-keeper, St Mirren much better in that opening 45 minutes and they took the lead, Kenny in 18.
00:34Declan John deflected cross, Kucharenko's all over the place in the goal, flaps it and there's an Induluth ahead at home.
00:41St Mirren were all over them but an equaliser came two minutes before half-time.
00:44So while Georgie, the goalkeeper, the ball's going into his box but he needs to rush out his box and picks it up about six inches outside it.
00:51And from the free kick, Sapsford scores, putting the ball into the keeper's side.
00:55St Mirren have deserved to be ahead, they'll be raging at that, that's 1-1.
00:59For 21 efforts at goal to Dundee United is nine, the score is 1-1 at paradise.
01:03That was a big six inches.
01:07Listen, that's going to be a sore one you'd have to say because we couldn't believe it, Michael, when we saw that unfold.
01:12What on earth to keep was thinking about and then he didn't cover himself in glory in terms of the equalising goal from the free kick.
01:17No, he didn't, he didn't.
01:19I think Alan was talking just earlier on about the fact that St Mirren are the side that have, you know, over the course of the game so far have been the ones that have been more dominant.
01:29But sitting 1-1 at the moment and it'll be interesting to see how this last wee spell plays out.
01:36But the biggest thing, the takeaway is what Tom was just mentioning a few minutes ago on the radio was this potential concussion from Lucas Stevenson.
01:45Because I hadn't seen the incident until the replay was run just as he was going off.
01:50And he does get absolutely clattered.
01:52He does.
01:52And he did look very groggy when he was going off.
01:55But it was such a long period of time after the incident.
01:58I think we do need clarification because he was down receiving treatment for a while.
02:03It looked like he might have broken his nose or a damage to his nose.
02:07But if Alan is saying it might be a concussion, we need to clear this up because you cannot leave a player on a field.
02:13If there's any, not to mind if there's a concussion, if there's a suspected concussion, you have to get him off.
02:20So I think we need to get clarity on what has gone on there.
02:22We'll try and get that later in the programme.
02:24And let's then get to the game at Almond Vale, Livingston at home to Motherwell this afternoon.
02:28Steven Craig, in his ear for us.
02:29Yeah, it may be a tale of two goalkeepers at Tannadice.
02:32But it's a tale of two penalty kicks here at Almond Vale.
02:34It's 1-1.
02:35It was Livingston went ahead after 26 minutes when Liam Gordon fouled Jeremy Bokila.
02:39Bokila stepped up and sent Callum Roard the wrong way.
02:41And at that stage, Motherwell probably had aged the game.
02:43But from then into halftime, I think it was Livingston with a much better side.
02:47Motherwell got equalising goal just before the arm mark.
02:50It was a really strange decision by Macaulay Tear.
02:51It was a shot by Ibrahim Sayad.
02:53And for some reason, Macaulay Tear struck his left arm out.
02:56It was a handball.
02:57It was a little bit of a delay, but the penalty kick was given.
02:59Apostolos, the man, Lovol has stepped up.
03:01And he sends your own pre-or the wrong way as well.
03:03So the game's finally poised here with 15 or 20 minutes to go.
03:06It'll be interesting to see who's brave enough to go and get the winner.
03:09Livingston almost went ahead a couple of minutes ago.
03:11Terry Yangi got on the end of a...
03:13I'm sorry, I'm just watching Motherwell playing around the edge of the box.
03:15It frightened the life out of me.
03:18Yangi just couldn't get enough on a flick that was flicked onto him by...
03:22Yeah, sorry, the pin on...
03:25Yeah, so it's 1-1 here, Kenny, sorry.
03:26Yeah, it's OK, Steve.
03:27I just want a couple of things.
03:28I don't know how much Motherwell Football Club means to you.
03:29Do you find them a frustrating watch?
03:33Yes, because at times I think there's forward passes on
03:35and they want to go back and they want to go square
03:37and they want to be negative.
03:38For all their possession, I think they're sitting in 67% possession
03:41and they've only had one attempt on target,
03:43which is the penalty kick.
03:44So it tells you there has to be more of a cutting edge to the play.
03:47They need something at the top end of the pitch.
03:49It's nice to be pleasing on the eye,
03:50but ultimately at the end of the season,
03:51you're going to be judged on points and winning games
03:53and they haven't won enough.
03:54And that penalty kick, Michael, was an absolute gift.
03:57Oh, so the Callum Slattery should have scored.
03:58Another chance.
03:59Yeah, Callum Slattery should have scored.
04:00Really good play down the right-hand side.
04:02Stephen O'Donnell, Eli just as involved.
04:04And Slattery, all he's got to do is set the target.
04:06For some reason, he flashes it way over the crossbar.
04:09Still 1-1.
04:09Do you think, Stephen, that the fans are beginning to,
04:13while obviously appreciative of the quality of the football,
04:16that they're getting a bit fed up now, that they want results?
04:19I think it's probably 70-30 at the minutes on.
04:2270% still hanging in there thinking,
04:23OK, it will come.
04:25And 30%, probably the older brigade,
04:27thinking we need to win games.
04:29We've been around this club long enough.
04:30We've been around this league long enough
04:31that if you end up struggling to win games
04:33and you're playing catch-up,
04:35you come into the winter months,
04:36the pitches change a little bit,
04:37the conditions change,
04:38it can be very difficult then to go and pick up wins.
04:40So I still think he has his support of the fans,
04:43the majority of them anyway,
04:44but you have to win games
04:45and you have to win them quickly.
04:46One win and nine, as it stands.
04:48I mean, I might turn this around now today,
04:50but one win and nine
04:51for one of the most praised managers in the league.
04:53Yeah, and that semi-final next weekend at Hamden,
04:55next Saturday, 5.30, Michael,
04:57just talk us through the absolute gift of a penalty
04:59that got him back into the game through the Amund Vale.
05:02Have you ever seen anything like it?
05:03Well, probably, yeah,
05:05but I mean, it's as blatant a handball
05:06as you're ever going to see.
05:07And I've got to be honest,
05:09I think where the officials are,
05:12the referee and the linesman,
05:14one of them should have at least been able
05:15to have seen that.
05:17I know his body's in the way slightly,
05:19but from one of the angles of the ref or the linesman,
05:22he would have seen it
05:23because it is the most blatant handball
05:25you're ever likely to see.
05:27The guilt is etched all over Macaulay Tate's face.
05:31The Motherwell players are adamant
05:33and the fact it took just quite as long as it did,
05:36I think, is quite incredible.
05:38But thankfully,
05:39they got the right decision in the end,
05:40which has not been the case
05:42at every game so far.
05:43Yeah, whole fire.
05:44Let's get on to that.
05:45Let's get to the big contentious decision of the day.
05:48That took place at the Falkirk Stadium.
05:50Falkirk had home to Dundee.
05:51Ian McCall is there for us.
05:53Bring us up to the E&M.
05:54What's been happening?
05:55Well, it's still 1-1,
05:56but the whole flow of the game
05:57has changed in Falkirk's favour.
05:59Albeit Dundee have got a free kick
06:01for a dangerous position just now.
06:03I mean, Dundee played well in the first half,
06:05took the lead,
06:05Congrave,
06:06terrific corner.
06:07Clark Robertson,
06:08they worked the same block
06:09as they did against Celtic last week,
06:11scored the goal.
06:12But they got a break.
06:13It was Wilson and Hamilton,
06:14both went for the same ball.
06:16And it seems,
06:17I have been told,
06:18that it's pretty clear
06:19that Wilson,
06:20who'd already been booted,
06:21got made contract hoots,
06:22so it should have been a Dundee penalty
06:24and a sending off.
06:25And it wasn't.
06:27Hamilton of Dundee got booted.
06:29But in the second half,
06:30it's been all Falkirk.
06:31They got,
06:31it kind of stems from John McCracken,
06:33you know,
06:34making a ridiculous kick out
06:35straight to the Falkirk player.
06:37Calvin Miller called it off the bar.
06:39Then they got a free kick round the back.
06:41Williams knocks it back across
06:43and it looks like it's the same boy
06:44that scored the Dundee goal.
06:45Clark Robertson
06:46knocked it in for an own goal.
06:47Since then,
06:48McIver has flicked one off
06:50the inside of the post
06:51and Miller,
06:51when he was on the ground,
06:52nearly scored,
06:53just almost on the inside of the post.
06:54It's been all Falkirk in the second half.
06:56But the Falkirk stadium,
06:57it's still 1-1.
06:58That's worth pointing out, Kenny,
06:59the fact that, you know,
07:00as much as we're sort of making the point
07:01what is a ludicrous
07:03refereeing decision,
07:05don't take it away for Falkirk
07:06because in the second half,
07:07they've been very good.
07:08It's been one-way traffic, really,
07:09all flowing towards the Dundee goals.
07:13Right.
07:13Well, let's just clarify that
07:14for those joining us on television.
07:16We had a good debate, Michael,
07:18and you were very strong
07:19in your reaction to this.
07:20So, Tom Inglis,
07:21we've had the clarification
07:23through from VAR HQ.
07:25Yeah, it was deemed
07:27a reckless tackle
07:28by the attacking player.
07:30It wasn't a tackle.
07:31It wasn't a challenge.
07:31It was nothing.
07:32So, it's just total nonsense.
07:34I think it's wrong
07:34on multiple levels.
07:36We all agree anyway.
07:37See if it's that blatant
07:39as it is
07:40and the fact that Tom's reached out
07:43for clarification.
07:44If they're not going to come back
07:45and just hold their hands up
07:46and say they've made a mistake,
07:48they should just shut up.
07:49Don't get back in touch.
07:50Go silent.
07:51Because that is an insult.
07:53It genuinely is.
07:54It's an insult to anybody's intelligence
07:56that sees the incident
07:57because it's total nonsense.
07:59Ethan Hamilton
08:00steps on,
08:01wins the ball
08:02and he's kicked
08:03by the fall cut player,
08:05Wilson,
08:06who's trying to clear the ball.
08:07He doesn't see
08:08Hamilton stepping onto it.
08:09He swings and kicks
08:10Ethan Hamilton.
08:12So, own it now.
08:13It's a mistake.
08:13Yes.
08:14Or shut up.
08:15Don't get back in touch.
08:16If you're wanting to defend
08:17and cover
08:18for your officials
08:19until a later date,
08:20don't get back in touch
08:21because that explanation
08:23is an absolute embarrassment.
08:25It's a double whammy,
08:26isn't it?
08:26It should be a penalty.
08:27It's not.
08:28It should be a red card.
08:29It's not.
08:29Yeah.
08:30But credit to full cut
08:31because they have done
08:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:32That's a lot.
08:33Listen, we're covering three games
08:34in the Championship this afternoon.
08:36We've got the predictions
08:37from the guys
08:37at the start of the programme.
08:39Chick Young predicted a draw.
08:40A tight game down there
08:42at the capital.
08:43Chick Young,
08:43Morton against St. Johnston.
08:44I'm not sure I predicted a draw.
08:46I just said that Morton
08:47had eight out of 11 games this season
08:50which they had drawn.
08:51It's what I said.
08:52So, anyway,
08:53it's not going to be a draw.
08:54I have a slice list.
08:55It's 4-0.
08:56To St. Johnston at the moment.
08:58It's 4-0 at half-time.
08:59It remains that way.
09:01The scoring after just five minutes
09:04and a double from Jamie Gullin
09:06in the middle of that
09:07was one from Josh McPague.
09:08McPague and Gullin
09:09have consequently both gone off,
09:11injured,
09:12but it's been a real performance
09:14by the league leaders today
09:15or this afternoon
09:16and they extend the goal difference,
09:18they extend the point
09:19at the moment
09:20at the top of the table
09:21and for poor old Morton
09:23they have been torn apart.
09:254-0 it is at the moment.
09:264-0 it was at half-time
09:27and I think they just like to hear
09:29the full-time whistle, Kenny.
09:30Yeah, and trick to be fair to you,
09:31you predicted
09:31that right in the start of the season
09:33they would be title winners.
09:34Do you look what you've seen
09:35from Seymour Valakari's side
09:36this season?
09:37It's the way things are going.
09:38If I said tomorrow it was Sunday,
09:39check your calendar.
09:40Right, OK,
09:42they're rampant this afternoon
09:43Seymour Valakari's side.
09:45I think a couple of incidents
09:46we'll just check in a few minutes' time
09:48but let's just stay in the Championship.
09:49Wraith Rovers
09:49at home to Partick Thistle.
09:51Of course, Partick Thistle
09:52the nearest challengers
09:53to St Johnson
09:54at the start of the day
09:55but things not going according to plan
09:57for Mark Wilson's side.
09:58Rory Loy is there for us.
10:00Yeah, indeed.
10:01Partick Thistle are back in the game now
10:03in terms of the way
10:04they're passing the ball
10:05and being progressive
10:05and moving up the pitch
10:06but it's too little too late
10:08as far as Mark Wilson
10:09will be concerned
10:10because it was Wraith Rovers
10:12who'd done the damage
10:13in the second half.
10:14The first one coming from Dylan Easton
10:16who cut inside.
10:16It was a slight deflection
10:17on the shot
10:18which took it past the goalkeeper
10:19Josh Clark on the goals
10:20and veteran Paul Hanlon
10:22doubled their lead
10:22on 66 minutes
10:23when he floated into the box
10:25and put a left foot volley
10:27into the back of the net.
10:29A flash point from the first half
10:30could have seen
10:31Lewis Stevenson sent off
10:32with a pretty high challenge.
10:33Grant Irvin opted for yellow.
10:35Of course, no VAR
10:36in the Championship.
10:37So as we stand at the moment
10:38it is Wraith Rovers 2
10:39artificial milk.
10:40Thanks to Rory Lloyd
10:42game of the day
10:42surely ending.
10:44Will Ross County
10:44at home to Dunfermline
10:45Athletic there for us?
10:46Is he annulled?
10:47Yeah, this one has been
10:48a really good watch Kenny.
10:49Ross County
10:50the home side
10:51in the driving seat.
10:52So far the Staggies
10:53helped by racing
10:55into a two goal lead
10:56inside the opening
10:56three minutes.
10:57Scott Fraser drilling in
10:58from the edge
10:59of the 18 yard box
11:00and then Ronan Hale
11:01robbed Chilacoa Millen
11:03to square for
11:04Jordan White
11:04to tap in.
11:05Andrew Todd
11:05headed Dunfermline
11:06back into the game
11:07just before the interval.
11:08An intern provider
11:09just after the
11:10half-time restart.
11:12He squared for
11:13Barry Stewart
11:14who tapped in
11:14from close range.
11:15But the home side
11:16back in front
11:17Ronan Hale
11:18taking advantage
11:19of a goal mouse
11:20stramble.
11:21An almighty
11:21goal mouse stramble.
11:22Ross County
11:23three, Dunfermline
11:23two.
11:24Thanks Eno.
11:24Straight back to
11:25Tannerise.
11:26Big shouts
11:26to a penalty there.
11:27Alan Preston.
11:27Never in a million years
11:28is it but they're
11:29wanting one.
11:29Fata goes to the bile
11:30and cuts it back.
11:31Moller comes in
11:32and takes a first touch
11:33and then he goes
11:33down in the box.
11:34Too easy for me.
11:35Referee should
11:36wave play on here.
11:37Having a wee look
11:38now.
11:38Tom English on a wee look
11:39at this one here
11:40as the ball comes in
11:40by the right-hand side.
11:41Ruller's got up
11:42and sitting back down.
11:43Bit embarrassing
11:45claiming for that
11:46is it not?
11:47He's just slipped
11:47right?
11:48I don't think he's
11:48been looking for
11:49anything or am I
11:50just naive?
11:51No no he's just
11:51trying to get a
11:52shot and go.
11:53It's just slipped.
11:54Footballers in.
11:55Footballers Tom.
11:56Footballers what?
11:57Try anything.
11:58Try anything to win
11:59a game.
11:59I don't need to try
12:00anything then.
12:00Exactly.
12:01Kenny's on his own
12:02here.
12:02He's going to have
12:02a look at it.
12:03The referee's
12:03having a look at it.
12:04Wait a minute.
12:05No way.
12:06He's having a look at it.
12:07No way.
12:08Hold on.
12:08Hold on.
12:09I mean there's
12:10another angle here Michael.
12:11There must be another
12:12incident.
12:13Never find another
12:14angle.
12:14There has to be
12:14something else to do.
12:15I think he's been
12:15caught in the shin
12:16they're saying.
12:17Because Muller just
12:18goes to try and
12:19take a strike at
12:21goal and.
12:22So John Beaton's
12:23over right now at
12:23the VAR.
12:25No way.
12:26Gargage following
12:27through.
12:28No way.
12:29Wait there.
12:29There.
12:30You're not on top
12:30of his leg.
12:31But I'm not being
12:31funny.
12:32Like.
12:33Oh no please go.
12:34Wait a minute.
12:35Wait a minute Michael.
12:35Here right there.
12:36Catch him there Michael.
12:37Come on Michael.
12:37He's doing his knee.
12:39I want to see another
12:40angle of that.
12:41See even if Gargage does
12:42as he's putting his
12:43foot down standard
12:44that for me is still
12:45not a penalty kick
12:45because Muller has
12:47had the strike.
12:48Him landing.
12:49Penalty is given.
12:50Wow.
12:51Wow.
12:52I can see that.
12:53I can see that too.
12:55Oh my God.
12:56You agree with that
12:57decision.
12:58Before we go any
12:59further.
12:59Now I can see it.
13:00Before we go any
13:01further.
13:02Two minutes ago.
13:03Kenny McIntyre's
13:04gone.
13:04Oh footballers.
13:06Footballers.
13:06I didn't see the
13:07angle.
13:08Give me your
13:08nonsense.
13:09You've got to get
13:09new information
13:10means new
13:11perspective.
13:11Yeah.
13:12Gargage has
13:14followed through
13:15and he's caught
13:15him there Michael.
13:16He's caught him.
13:17Oh.
13:18But no what you're
13:19suggesting is that
13:20he's like kicked
13:20him.
13:21He's done something.
13:21No no he's just
13:22clumsy but he's
13:23caught him.
13:23He's put his foot
13:24down and he's on the
13:26player.
13:27And his shin.
13:28But that's not a
13:29no.
13:30Okay what have you
13:31seen?
13:31What have you seen?
13:33You've got two.
13:33Somebody tell me
13:34because I've not seen
13:34it.
13:35And that's the problem
13:36with the fans at the
13:37ground Alan isn't it?
13:38You've got two
13:38players Alan who
13:39are both sort of
13:40stretching.
13:41Nobody's like swinging
13:42or challenging.
13:43Two players are
13:44stretching for a
13:45ball that's been
13:46cut back and
13:46deflected right?
13:48And Gogic as he's
13:49stretching and as
13:51Muller's stretched
13:52his foot.
13:52Michael let me
13:53cut across you
13:53Fatah's going to
13:54take this penalty
13:54kick.
13:55He's just been
13:55handed the ball.
13:56He comes up.
13:57Sends the keeper
13:58the wrong way.
13:58United have
13:59turned it round.
14:00That's not a
14:00penalty kick.
14:01That to me if you
14:02know anything about
14:03football and you
14:04look at that
14:04instant that is not
14:06a penalty kick and
14:07Gogic should never
14:08be sent off.
14:09All he's doing
14:09no force, no
14:11force whatsoever
14:12he's stretching his
14:13foot out to try and
14:15get a touch on the
14:16ball and his foot
14:17touches Muller's
14:19shin.
14:20That is not a
14:21penalty kick.
14:22It doesn't affect
14:23anything that Muller's
14:24done because it's
14:25after the ball's been
14:26kicked away as well.
14:27That is just a
14:28football contact and
14:29challenge that should
14:30be looked at and
14:31gone okay nothing in
14:32it play on.
14:33It's not a penalty and
14:34it's never a red card.
14:35It's a shocking
14:37decision.
14:37We've been agreeing
14:38far too much today.
14:39We're now finding out.
14:40So tell me how you
14:41think that constitutes a
14:43penalty.
14:43Because it's caught him
14:44under shame.
14:44Yeah but not every
14:46there's no force in that
14:48Tom.
14:48You don't think it's
14:49dangerous Michael?
14:49There's no force no.
14:51There's enough force for
14:52a penalty Mikey.
14:53We disagree because not
14:56every contact
14:57constitutes a foul
14:58penalty or a yellow
14:59card or a red card.
15:00I agree with that.
15:01I think we do.
15:01We had this earlier on
15:02and you didn't agree
15:03with it and I think
15:04Tom's definitely in
15:05agreement with you on
15:05that.
15:06We'll try and get some
15:06clarity from VAR HQ on
15:09this.
15:09See how quickly they
15:09reply to that.
15:09Yeah let's get that in
15:10Tom.
15:11So we'll request that
15:12from VAR HQ and we'll
15:13try and read it out.
15:13I will always try and
15:14read it out of those at
15:15the game.
15:16As you were saying Alan
15:17when you're at that
15:18game you have no idea
15:19what's going on there.
15:21Nothing at all.
15:21United fans I think
15:23they went for a
15:23bye kick and St.
15:24Miriam were about to
15:25take the bye kick.
15:26All the players were
15:27getting up.
15:28And then eventually
15:29Muller just sits down
15:30and he touches his
15:31shin as if he's been
15:32caught in the shin and
15:33then the referee comes
15:33over.
15:34To be fair the referee
15:35looked at it very
15:37quickly and gave the
15:38penalty on the red card.
15:39They didn't deliberate
15:39for a while.
15:40Alan was there many
15:41Dungeon United players
15:43that were complaining?
15:44No.
15:44And again that's my
15:45point right.
15:46When you're looking at
15:47that there's nothing in
15:49it and Kenny you're
15:49talking about Orwell
15:50different angle you
15:51know different evidence
15:52different view.
15:54But all you've seen
15:55differently and by the
15:57way we saw all the
15:58angles initially is you
15:59eventually go oh he's
16:01actually maybe made
16:02contact with his shin.
16:03But he has.
16:03Yes he has.
16:04Totally.
16:05But there's nothing in
16:06the challenge that is
16:07forceful.
16:08He's just stretching out
16:10and it just so happens
16:11that as he's putting his
16:12foot down his foot has
16:14gone on his shin.
16:15He's not kicked him.
16:16He's not tackled him.
16:17It's just a football
16:19contact and that to me
16:20does not constitute being
16:23given a penalty kick.
16:24Never mind a red card.
16:25But like I mean.
16:26Oh it's a goal.
16:27What a goal for a
16:28mother will.
16:29Right Stephen Craig.
16:30Cross from the right
16:31hand side Stephen O'Donnell
16:32and not too sure he gets
16:33the first contact.
16:34It's like Callum Hendry
16:35puts it onto the cross
16:36bar and I think Eli
16:37just just gets down on
16:39the one knee for the
16:39rebound and just nods it
16:41into the back of the
16:42net.
16:42Oh my goodness out of
16:43absolutely nothing.
16:45It's their second attempt
16:46on target.
16:46He scored the first one
16:47with a penalty and the
16:48second one's ended up in
16:49the back of the net.
16:502-1 Motherwell.
16:51That's a huge goal isn't
16:52it Stephen because they
16:53were struggling in that
16:54game gifted the penalty
16:55of course.
16:56Nicely tucked away.
16:57This could be a huge
16:58three points particularly
16:59with the semi-final next
17:00week looking at
17:01confidence.
17:02Yeah well they've also
17:02got Dundee United at home
17:03during the week there
17:04winning against Sir
17:05Muren so that's another
17:05tough one to come before
17:06they get to the semi-final
17:07but you said it earlier
17:09to convince players of
17:10what you're doing you've
17:11got to win games.
17:12They haven't been great
17:13in the second half or
17:14certainly the last 15
17:15minutes.
17:15They haven't been as
17:15fluid.
17:16It's been scrappy.
17:17It's been bitty.
17:18But can you dig a win
17:19from somewhere?
17:20Can you dig really deep
17:21and somehow turn the
17:22point into three?
17:23If they draw on today
17:24and they still could
17:24that'll be six draws
17:26from nine games.
17:26That's no word
17:27they're good enough.
17:27So if they win here
17:28this afternoon
17:29it'll be a huge boost
17:30for them.
17:31If you've got the VAR
17:32side there's a bit of
17:33checking on them
17:33I'm not too sure.
17:34You'll be delighted to
17:34know that Fadi and Tom
17:35will agree with you two.
17:37Is that right?
17:38They're in sports.
17:39Stephen Thompson,
17:40James McFadden in sports
17:41and I think they agree.
17:41I think it's pretty obvious
17:42to be honest with you.
17:43Well I completely disagree
17:44off for you.
17:45That's cool.
17:46Yeah.
17:46That's cool.
17:47Right listen you can
17:47watch that in sports
17:48in this evening
17:49as Michael was saying.
17:49Stephen Thompson
17:50and James McFadden
17:51are labelled
17:52clueless there
17:53by Michael.
17:53I was labelling
17:54you two clueless.
17:55My extension.
17:56Brockett's suspended
17:59for the game
18:00against Hearts
18:00unless they appeal it.
18:02That's a good point Alan.
18:03He's a big player.
18:05There's a long check here.
18:05There must be a bar.
18:06Are they looking for something?
18:07Well they're looking at
18:08perhaps whether Eli
18:09is just as offside
18:11but correct me if I'm wrong
18:13if it comes back
18:14off the bar
18:15is it still
18:15is he still
18:16I think it's so confusing
18:18I'm not too sure
18:19if it's because of the
18:20the header
18:21or when the cross
18:22first comes in
18:22or is it off the crossbar?
18:23No it's when the first
18:24when the cross
18:25first comes in
18:26and Henry headers it
18:27just possibly marginally
18:29He's given offside.
18:30He's given offside.
18:32That's a massive moment there
18:34we thought
18:34Motherwell were in front.
18:36See that's where
18:36you know when you talk
18:37about VAR
18:37and you talk about offside
18:39and that's the one thing
18:40you say oh well
18:41it's definitive
18:41that to me is not
18:43you know that's not football.
18:45That's where I've got
18:46an issue on.
18:47You take
18:47all the excitement
18:49out of a goal
18:50because somebody
18:51is a toenail offside
18:54when the ball
18:55is initially played
18:56in after
18:56It's the right decision
18:57though isn't it
18:57that's the thing
18:58it's the right decision
18:59It's the right decision
18:59with the current loss
19:00but I don't think
19:01that is just
19:03I can't remember
19:04where you stand
19:04on VAR
19:05are you a benefit man?
19:08I would either
19:09bin it
19:09or I would heavily
19:10sort of
19:13lessen its involvement.
19:15See Mikey on the offside
19:16one
19:17how do you fix that
19:17then
19:18because I don't disagree
19:18with you
19:19but I just don't know
19:19how you fix that
19:20you're either offside
19:21or you're not
19:21so how do you
19:22how do you put
19:23something in place
19:24where you can change that?
19:25Goal in Fulker Stadium
19:26Ian McCall
19:27and it's a winner
19:28for Fulker
19:29and it's
19:30Conor Allen
19:31the young centre-back
19:33that's come out of the team
19:34because they've got
19:35about 17 injuries
19:36at centre-back
19:37and no kidding you
19:38watch this goal
19:39he's taken
19:40I think he's beaten
19:41about four players
19:42coming from centre-back
19:43and he's cuddled
19:44into the foul
19:44bottom corner
19:45back to Almondville
19:48Stephen Krieger
19:48his goal was just
19:52allowed a minute
19:52or so
19:53but it looks like
19:54he may now
19:54have got the winner
19:55brilliant play
19:56by Callum Slatter
19:57he drives to the heart
19:57of the Livingston defence
19:58lovely little reverse
19:59pass into the feet
20:00of Just
20:01and he just
20:02pitches laces through
20:03smashes the ball
20:04right through
20:05Jerome Prior
20:06and goal
20:06and Motherwell
20:07may now look
20:08as if they have a winner
20:08but I'm sure
20:09Var may just have
20:10a look in case
20:11yeah I think
20:13that's absolutely
20:14nailed on
20:14but that look
20:15at first glance
20:16it looked an absolute
20:17beauty didn't it
20:18well Jules finishes
20:18oh that'll be that then
20:20Sybil with an absolute
20:22cracker for the second
20:23week in a row
20:24he cuts it on his left
20:26and he bends it
20:27in off the post
20:28what a wonderful finish
20:293-1 game over
20:31and I've just seen
20:32the penalty
20:33it is a penalty
20:34St John's
20:37St John's single
20:39put that clear
20:39at the top of the table
20:40tonight
20:413 points clear
20:42they have demolished
20:43Morton
20:434 goals to 0
20:442
20:45fall in the first half
20:46they've batted with the opener
20:47Jamie Gullin
20:49with 2 goals
20:49sandwiched in the middle
20:50was one from Josh McVeigh
20:52totally in control
20:54of this football match
20:55magnificent performance
20:56no further goals
20:57in the second half
20:58and St Johnston
20:59top the championship
21:01clear by 3 points
21:02tonight
21:03they win
21:03at Capelo
21:04by 4 goals to 0
21:06he's not all
21:07like outnumbering me
21:08my mate's message
21:10he's 100%
21:11we don't know
21:12if he actually exists
21:13is he a real person
21:15that's the most
21:17unbelievable thing
21:18of the whole day
21:18I don't think
21:20it was a penalty either
21:21Rory Loy
21:22full time score
21:23starts part
21:23yes
21:24Rave Rovers win
21:25by 2 goals to 0
21:26they may have lost
21:26the last 3
21:27by 2 goals to 0
21:28but they've won here today
21:29and they did deserve it
21:30overall without a shadow
21:31of a doubt
21:31a fair reflection on the game
21:33a Paul Hanlon goal
21:34rounded things off
21:35snuck into the back post
21:36to put it into the net
21:37Dylan Easton scored
21:38the first one
21:39he was very good today
21:40as were a number
21:41of his teammates
21:42deserving winners
21:43Rave Rovers beat
21:44second place
21:45perfect thistle
21:45by 2 goals to 0
21:46Faddy
21:46you're too entrenched now
21:48I don't know how
21:49you can't see that
21:50Faddy
21:50you've got a point
21:51Faddy on this
21:53and many other things
21:53is a wise voice
21:55you have time
21:55Michael
21:56he's wrong
21:56to roll back
21:58on that one
21:59so right
22:00so just confirmation
22:01that was an incredible run
22:02of incidents
22:04there right across
22:05Scottish football
22:05so we had the full time
22:06scorelines
22:07in the Scottish Championship
22:08two big big games
22:10involving the sides
22:11at the top of the table
22:12so Morton 0
22:13St Johnson 4
22:14Rave Rovers 2
22:15Partick Thistle 0
22:17still playing
22:17Airdrie 1
22:18are both 0
22:20and also still
22:21playing Ross County
22:223
22:23Dunfermline 2
22:24let's actually get back
22:25there Ian Alders
22:26here for us
22:26deep into the closing stages
22:27Ian
22:27yeah we're into
22:28two minutes of the
22:29added five on
22:31Kenny
22:31there's been a few
22:31stoppages in the
22:32second half here
22:33but as you'd imagine
22:34both sides going for it
22:35Ross County
22:36trying to get that
22:37decisive fourth go
22:38and Dunfermline
22:39throwing everything
22:40and trying to get
22:40an equaliser
22:41it's probably been
22:42quite harsh on Dunfermline
22:43in the balance
22:44of the second half
22:45right there was an
22:46oh somewhere
22:47no it's just
22:48Scott Bain
22:49is right in front of
22:50the Dundee fans
22:50obviously he left in D
22:51I think to go to
22:52Selic
22:52there's about a minute
22:53or two minutes
22:54to go and he's
22:54getting absolutely
22:55pelted with things
22:56I don't know
22:57I can't see what it
22:58was whether it was
22:58just a plastic bottle
22:59or stuff
23:00but it was certainly
23:00full of a liquid
23:02I've no idea
23:02what the liquid was
23:03don't ask me that
23:04oh good effort
23:05good save
23:06Trapanovski with a shot
23:08tipped over
23:09that penalty
23:10putting United ahead
23:11has really galvanised
23:12them got a brilliant
23:13third goal from
23:14Sibold
23:14and they're finishing
23:15this game with four
23:16minutes added on time
23:17on top
23:18full time
23:19Elmanveld
23:19Kenny
23:20Livingston 1
23:21Motherwell 2
23:21what a manager
23:22what a manager
23:23oh you guys
23:25writing them off
23:26listen that's a huge
23:27result
23:28I've just seen the
23:29pictures coming in there
23:29from Ian's game
23:30at the Falkirk Stadium
23:32Scott Bain
23:33calling the referee
23:33over to throw
23:34some objects
23:35that were thrown
23:35at him
23:36back off the park
23:37but it's been quite
23:38the turn around there
23:39hasn't it Ian
23:39yes I'm just about
23:40to ask
23:40where are Falkirk
23:41in the table
23:43as we stand
23:44with fourth
23:44it's changed about
23:46seven times
23:46in over 90 minutes
23:47the Falkirk have
23:48deserved it
23:49they've played
23:50ever so well
23:51in the second half
23:51and they got that
23:52break
23:53but as Michael said
23:54you've got to make
23:55us take advantage
23:56of the break
23:56and they have done
23:57in the second half
23:58they should have been
23:58down to ten men
23:59Dundee should have
24:00apparently
24:01but they've taken
24:02advantage of that
24:02and they're now
24:03winning 2-1
24:03yeah fans will join us
24:05on the radio
24:05once we go off
24:06television
24:06on the radio
24:07right through
24:07until seven o'clock
24:08this evening
24:08first up actually
24:09tonight is a Dundee fan
24:11really interesting
24:11to hear what he has
24:12to say
24:13about an hour ago
24:14Dundee were third
24:15in the league
24:16they're now tenth
24:17third bottom
24:18fluid you might say
24:20wow
24:20that was an incredible
24:22burst of action there
24:23wasn't it
24:23three goals in about
24:2430 seconds
24:24Dundee United are third
24:26now
24:26yeah
24:26I mean
24:27it highlights how tight
24:28obviously the league
24:29is
24:30but the
24:31twoing and throwing
24:33amongst all the teams
24:34is quite incredible
24:35full time at the
24:36Falkers Stadium
24:37Falkers 2
24:38Dundee 1
24:39Ian McCall
24:40let's just stick with you
24:41for a couple of minutes
24:41and get a bit of reaction
24:42from yourself
24:43because in the first half
24:44you're raving with
24:45some of the play
24:46from the away side there
24:47we've gone over the big
24:48incident in the game
24:49but as you say
24:49a lot of credit
24:52Ian McCall
24:53has to go to
24:53John McGlynn
24:54he got his side
24:55back into the game
24:56and a vital three points
24:57I think
25:00Dundee got their
25:01tactics spot
25:02on the first half
25:02John plays the same way
25:04he's not going to change
25:06and you know
25:06some of the football
25:07he played in the second half
25:08I do think
25:09John McCracken
25:10needed a boot up
25:11the Unilaw
25:11because
25:12I think he got the crowd up
25:13because he
25:14he just played a simple pass
25:16all he had to do
25:16was knock it along
25:17Calvin Miller got it
25:18and curled it off
25:19the top of the bar
25:20and I tell you what
25:21when the crowd gets up
25:22at the Falker Stadium
25:23they get right behind
25:24their team
25:24and from then on
25:25you sensed
25:27you sensed Falker
25:28were going to come back
25:28and win
25:29which they did do
25:30but I tell you what
25:31the goal
25:32from the young centre back
25:33and I have my hand up
25:34it's the first time
25:35I've seen Conor Allen play
25:36in a first team game
25:37I saw him playing
25:38a youth game at Rangers
25:39but I mean
25:40he's taken
25:41I've no idea
25:42what he was doing up there
25:43he took it
25:43on the right hand side
25:44beat a man
25:45beat another man
25:46then dummied another man
25:47and then stroked
25:48into the goal
25:48it was just
25:49a magnificent goal
25:50and a fairy tale way
25:52to win the game
25:53for Falker
25:54yeah you can watch
25:55that goal on sports
25:56in BBC Scotland
25:577.15 this evening
25:58Stephen Thompson
25:59and James McFadden
26:01I'll tell you something
26:01that maybe isn't
26:02too best pleased
26:03with the referee
26:03and performance
26:04at Tannadice as well
26:05it looks as if
26:06old Kerzo
26:06the assistant manager
26:07has had a few choice
26:09words with
26:10John Beaton as well
26:11he got a yellow card
26:12there on
26:12actually remember Michael
26:13that the late winner
26:14last week in Paisley
26:16against Aberdeen
26:17and the red cards
26:18were getting shown
26:18to the St Miriam
26:19management team
26:20there as well
26:20so let's get back
26:21to Alan up there
26:23at Tannadice
26:23Alan because
26:24you were saying
26:25that the wayside
26:26were dominating things
26:27and it was just again
26:28a really poor decision
26:29from the goalkeeper
26:30handed United a way back
26:32and as Ian was saying
26:33then it's up to you
26:33to take the opportunity
26:34and just like Falker did
26:36United delivered
26:37yeah they certainly did
26:38Kenny
26:38honestly I couldn't see it coming
26:40St Miriam were dominating
26:41and when you look at the stats
26:42all those stats
26:42couldn't win you games
26:43they had double the shots
26:44Bill Tywin Dingmore
26:46Ross County 3
26:46Dunframlin 2
26:47yeah they had double the shots
26:49but United come out
26:50with the 3 points
26:50and it's incredible stuff
26:52they took the lead
26:53St Miriam
26:53Nindaloo with a header
26:54after a cross from John
26:56was flapped by Kucherenko
26:57in the goals
26:58and then St Miriam
26:59had more chances
27:00to go in
27:00even with a more advantage
27:02before the 45 minutes
27:04was up
27:04but in 42 minutes
27:05Jamal George
27:06for some reason
27:07comes out of his box
27:08not a lot
27:09maybe an inch or two
27:10but picks the ball up
27:11and the assistant
27:11on the far side
27:12flag straight away
27:13giving United a free kick
27:14and a lifeline
27:14back into the game
27:16there's Zach Samsford
27:16three scores
27:17from the free kick
27:18from 18 yards
27:19and 2 inches
27:20into the second half
27:21St Miriam again
27:22we're still
27:23the better side
27:24going forward
27:24but United rang the changes
27:26they had chances
27:27St Miriam
27:27but in 83 minutes
27:28was the talking point
27:29Fatah
27:29one of the subs
27:30came on
27:31he gets to the byline
27:32Muller
27:33goes down in the box
27:34with a challenge
27:34from Gogic
27:35I didn't see it
27:36replays have showed me
27:37that I think it is a penalty
27:38now
27:38the referee
27:39pointed to the spot
27:40after looking
27:40at the screen of VAR
27:42and sent Gogage off
27:43with a straight red heel
27:43now missed the game
27:44against Hearts
27:45midweek
27:45and then Sybil
27:46wrapped it up
27:47with a wonderful goal
27:48brilliant goal
27:48at Ibrox last week
27:49and topped it off
27:51with a great week
27:52for him
27:52with another excellent goal
27:53cut on his left foot
27:54and curled it in
27:55off the far post
27:55in the 90th minute
27:57three defeats in a row
27:58now for St Miriam
27:59United up to third
28:00final score at Paradise
28:01Dundee United 3
28:02St Miriam 1
28:03yeah it's fantastic
28:05and I think Tom
28:05it's important to highlight
28:06Jim Gooden
28:07we love a good story
28:08in football
28:09we all remember
28:10the pitchers
28:10we're in the studio
28:11when he was Aberdeen
28:12manager through Easter Road
28:13and him leaving the ground
28:14that day
28:15he had a torrid time
28:16but he's done a great job
28:18hasn't he
28:18at Dundee United
28:19and he looks to have
28:20recruited really well
28:21this season
28:21yeah he's brought in
28:22some very very good players
28:23some exciting players
28:25plenty of goals
28:25on the team
28:26well organised side
28:28and that's a big win
28:29for them
28:29having gone 1-0 down
28:30and they're up to
28:31third in the league
28:32that'll probably change
28:34might change tomorrow
28:35you never know
28:35but it's in a great position
28:38scoring lots of goals
28:39probably conceding
28:40way too many
28:41for his liking
28:41but 13 points
28:43after 9 games
28:44it's a handsome enough
28:44total for Jim Gooden
28:46and he's got very
28:47adventurous players
28:49in this team
28:50loads of goals
28:51if you can score goals
28:52in this league
28:52you're going to do well
28:53yes it meant
28:54not scoring enough goals
28:55you're pointing that out
28:56early in the programme
28:56that's a big problem
28:58for them
28:58as I said
29:00earlier on
29:01on the radio
29:01their foundation
29:04has been the defence
29:04the solidity
29:06of their defence
29:06not conceding any goals
29:07that's fine
29:09as long as
29:10your defence holds
29:12and today
29:13the defence didn't hold
29:14their lack of goals
29:15cost them
29:16they've scored 6 goals
29:17in 9 games
29:18they're now down
29:19to 9th place
29:19I think St Mariner
29:20have got a few problems
29:21we're going to go to
29:22Livingston in just a second
29:24and also
29:25we will do the
29:26classifieds for you
29:27have a look at the tables
29:28as the guys are saying
29:28chopping and changing
29:29all afternoon
29:30now really respected
29:31former referee
29:33Bobby Madden
29:34had messaged me
29:34earlier on
29:35and just spotted it now
29:36he said
29:36look just booked
29:37into a hotel
29:37stick on the TV
29:38to see you all
29:39arguing
29:40send me the Goggich clip
29:41so Bobby's had a wee
29:42look at the Goggich clip
29:43he says
29:43Michael can change
29:44his mind
29:45when he sees
29:45another angle
29:47I've seen all the angles
29:48and you're sticking with it
29:49aye
29:49right
29:50ok
29:50there's no force in it
29:52is Bobby going to pass
29:54comment on the ludicrous
29:55decision that was made
29:56at Falker
29:57it's a sign
29:58it's a sign of strength
29:59it's a sign of strength
30:00Mikey to change your mind
30:01don't see it as a sign of weakness
30:02aye
30:03if you're wrong
30:03Tom
30:04right
30:05it's an interesting one
30:06if you change it
30:07when you're no wrong
30:08it's not a sign of strength
30:08to admit
30:09that you might be wrong
30:10we won't hold it against you
30:12as I'd asked you before
30:14what constitutes
30:16that being a penalty kick
30:17you tell me
30:19aye
30:19the fact
30:20aye
30:21it's on the ground
30:22no no no
30:23he kicked it high
30:23on his shin
30:24yes
30:24on his shin
30:25right
30:26so
30:27purely because
30:28he touched him
30:29on the shin
30:29I think it's more of a touch
30:30it's more of a touch
30:31right
30:31so tell me
30:32right
30:32so what
30:32you think there's force in it
30:34yeah
30:34I think it's dangerous
30:35well you watch it again
30:36you show it
30:36you watch it again
30:38you watch it again
30:39and you tell me
30:40if you genuinely believe
30:42that there's force
30:43in that challenge
30:44right
30:44we'll have another
30:44there is actually
30:46I've not had a chance
30:46to watch this
30:47I cut my phone
30:47we'll get a wee look at that
30:48Bobby Madden has been in touch
30:50you want him to look at the
30:51the decision that was made
30:52as well Michael
30:53in the game
30:53at the Colgate Stadium
30:55and there's the thing
30:56ask Bobby the same question
30:57what constitutes it being
30:58a penalty kick
30:59right
30:59ask his opinion
31:00years and years
31:01and years of experience
31:02referees
31:02I'll try and find time
31:03to do that
31:04I'm not asking
31:04what constitutes
31:05his opinion
31:06being valid
31:06I was asking
31:07what constitutes
31:09the challenge
31:10being a penalty kick
31:12and a red card
31:13right
31:13okay Bobby
31:13if you've got a chance
31:14get back to this
31:15it's good to get an insight
31:16that was the logic
31:17that was following
31:17I wouldn't even ask
31:18your opinion Tom
31:19right
31:19for everyone that's been
31:20at the game as well
31:20we'll go over this again
31:21I think it's important
31:22when you get back
31:22you find out what's been
31:24happening
31:24because the problem is
31:25Alan touched on this
31:26at Tanner Dice
31:27where the Motherwell fan
31:28get in touch
31:28he'll join us later
31:29when you're at the ground
31:30you have no idea
31:31what's going on
31:32so we've got some clarity
31:33here
31:33whether or not our
31:34pundits agree
31:35but it's another thing
31:35but at least we'll tell you
31:36what the officials
31:37what their take
31:38has been on it
31:39let's then get to the game
31:41at Almond Vale
31:42Livingston
31:42we're at home
31:43to Motherwell this afternoon
31:44and a big big win
31:45Stephen Cragan
31:46for the away side
31:47it was indeed
31:48Ken
31:48and all the drama
31:48came and added time
31:50at the end of the game
31:50just to show
31:52because Motherwell
31:53have probably played
31:53better this season
31:54than what they did
31:55there were probably more
31:56opportunities created
31:57in the game
31:58the Livingston goalkeeper
31:59didn't have a save to make
32:00Motherwell had two attempts
32:01on target
32:01those were two goals
32:02so sometimes you've got to
32:03find a way to win games
32:04of football
32:04and that's what certainly
32:05Motherwell were looking for
32:06this afternoon coming here
32:07go right back to the start
32:08Livingston took the lead
32:09after 26 minutes
32:10Liam Gordon brought down
32:11Jeremy Bokila
32:12and he stepped up
32:13and converted the goal
32:14from then on in
32:15towards half time
32:15I think they were the better team
32:16and if anything
32:17they probably could have
32:18scored a few more
32:19Stevie May had a chance
32:20Robbie Muirhead
32:20had a chance as well
32:22Motherwell got level
32:23just before the arm mark
32:24another penalty kick
32:25it was Ibrahim Siad
32:27had the shot
32:27and it was a blatant handball
32:28by Macaulay Tate
32:29for some unknown reason
32:30just stretched his arm out
32:31it was always going to be
32:32a penalty kick
32:33I'm surprised it took as long
32:34actually to be awarded
32:35but Nick Wallace came along
32:36to the Vars
32:37we had a look
32:38and gave the penalty kick
32:38and up stepped Apostolos
32:40to Manalopoulos
32:40he made no mistake
32:41from 12 yards
32:42Teddy Yangi had a chance
32:44after a Mo Salah header
32:45he just couldn't get
32:45enough power on the shot
32:46and Callum Ward
32:47managed to grab it
32:48looked like it was going
32:49to edge towards a draw
32:50which is not what
32:50Motherwell wanted
32:51or probably what
32:52Livingston would have
32:52wanted at that stage
32:53and then out of nothing
32:54Eli Just put Motherwell
32:56ahead by two goals
32:57to one
32:57or so we thought
32:58but Nick Wallace
32:59was called over to the screen
33:00there was an offside given
33:01sorry and the goal
33:03was ruled out
33:03but just another
33:04probably two minutes later
33:05Eli Just eventually
33:06got the winning goal
33:07Callum Stattery
33:08got the ball in midfield
33:09drove towards the
33:09centre of the 18 yard box
33:11just slid the ball
33:12into the path of Eli Just
33:13first touch out of his feet
33:14and just put his laces
33:15through the ball
33:15hit the ball as hard
33:16as he could
33:17and it rifled into
33:18the back of the net
33:18Motherwell fans went wild
33:19Livingston fans around me
33:20were devastated
33:21as was Davey Martindale
33:22he thought aside
33:23we're going to get a point
33:24and they end up
33:25with nothing
33:25they still stay bottom
33:26of the table
33:26Motherwell with their
33:27second win of the season
33:28they climb into the top six
33:29full time here at Almond Vale
33:31as Livingston won
33:31Motherwell too
33:32Thank you to Stephen Craig

34:03and actually she chooses a song
34:04where her dad Kenny
34:06duetted
34:06with a former Scotland international
34:08it's the most awful song
34:10and Kelly admits that

37:39a great win
37:40for Barry Robson
37:41side
37:42and Furman
37:4215 points
37:43air to despite
37:44their victory today
37:45their bottom of the table
37:46on 7 points
37:47with all the games
37:48coming into the studio
37:49here
37:49they're all
37:50meeting their edits
37:50now for
37:51that winning goal
37:51at Livingston
37:53is an absolute belter
37:54by the way
37:54for Motherwell
37:55and that to me
37:56sums up
37:57Motherwell
37:57that's them
37:58at their best
37:59I know Craigs
37:59was talking about
38:00there was periods
38:01of the game
38:01where they were
38:02a little bit
38:02slow in their build up
38:04too many backwards
38:05passes
38:06and sideways
38:07but every time
38:09I've watched Motherwell
38:09I've got to say
38:10I think they look
38:12to play forward
38:13first and foremost
38:14I think they're very good
38:15at penetrating
38:16I just think they've been
38:17you know
38:18lacking the cutting edge
38:19at the top end
38:19of the park at times
38:20and they've conceded
38:21goals at the wrong times
38:23and vital times
38:24in the game
38:25it's kind of a
38:26variation on the theme
38:27because as we said
38:28earlier on
38:29they've been dropping
38:30a lot of points
38:31late in games
38:31and they win one
38:32today they win one
38:33well obviously
38:33they scored before
38:34and I think they were
38:35I mean look
38:36yes he's marginally
38:37offside
38:37but it's a hard one
38:39to take
38:40but then to follow up
38:41with a winning goal
38:42like that
38:42it's a great work move
38:44for the whole midfield
38:45right through
38:46slice open the heart
38:47of the Livingston defence
38:48and then
38:49just with a
38:50really good finish
38:51to win the game
38:52and it's great to see
38:53because I think
38:53we can talk about
38:55trying to win games
38:56and not winning enough
38:56games or whatever
38:57but fundamentally
38:58they play great football
38:59and that's what you want
39:00to see
39:00and when you see
39:01that coming to fruition
39:03I think it should be applauded
39:04hence why he has had
39:05a lot of applauded
39:06because it is good
39:07but it has been done
39:08before in the 140 years
39:09of football
39:09yeah that was
39:10pretty much comment
39:11it riled a few people
39:12you do want to see
39:13a manager like that
39:13who does play
39:14that type of football
39:14get rewarded
39:16and maybe encourage
39:17others to follow suit
39:18it was a terrific win
39:20for them
39:20see speaking of
39:21good football
39:22we've got all
39:22the highlights
39:23I say getting cut
39:23for sports scene
39:24tonight
39:25not quite matching
39:26last week's goal
39:27for him
39:28and also the other
39:29goals we saw
39:29but another beauty
39:30from Sybil
39:30absolutely
39:31yeah it really was
39:33to follow up
39:34the controversial
39:35second Dunne United goal
39:37yes
39:38Faddy's so right
39:39entrenched
39:40can I just tell you

40:15tonight
40:16sports scene
40:17BBC Scotland
40:187.15
40:18on the screen in front of us
40:20now two managers
40:21a quick chat about both
40:22John McGlynn
40:23in the bottom of the screen
40:23speaking to media right now
40:24Tom what a remarkable job
40:26this man has done
40:27and sell outs
40:28week in week out
40:29at the Falkirk Stadium
40:30yeah because they play
40:31good stuff
40:31they're up to fourth
40:32in the table
40:33I think they're doing
40:34better than I thought
40:35they would do
40:35I thought they would be
40:36I thought they would
40:37hold their own
40:37in the league
40:38but they're doing
40:39better than that
40:39he's a manager
40:41of real substance
40:42McGlynn
40:43he's got huge experience
40:45he wants his teams
40:46to play the right way
40:47they're nice to watch
40:48and I'm delighted for him
40:50personally
40:50he's team
40:52it's a good side
40:5312 points after 9 games
40:55for a promoted team
40:56yeah he's going well
40:58and also
40:58in vision right now
40:59Jim Goodwin
41:00Michael
41:00we spoke a bit earlier on
41:01about the fantastic job
41:03he's doing at United
41:04and I could see why
41:05with the first European games
41:06you were concerned
41:06about the recruitment
41:07but my goodness
41:08he looks to have done
41:09a good job doesn't he
41:09yeah but you could
41:10I think
41:11the first games
41:13against
41:13you could tell
41:16the way he was
41:17trying to play
41:18it takes a bit of time
41:19to implement that
41:21it's not just a
41:21straightforward 4-4-2
41:23or a 4-3-2-1
41:25or whatever
41:25you know
41:25there's nuances to it
41:27and it takes a wee bit
41:29of time with that many
41:29new players coming in
41:30and they've adapted
41:31pretty quickly
41:31and they're still
41:32carrying a fair degree
41:34of an injury list there
41:36so
41:36yeah
41:37I mean Jim Goodwin
41:38is a manager
41:39that
41:39he famously said
41:41when he went to Aberdeen
41:42sorting it
41:43the defensive side
41:44of things
41:44is the easy aspect
41:45he didn't ever
41:47actually manage to do
41:48that at Aberdeen
41:48and it cost them
41:49but at Dundee United
41:51they are a team
41:51of substance
41:52they're difficult
41:52to play against
41:53and he's getting
41:54the balance right
41:55well
41:56cutting budgets as well
41:57right
41:58right
41:59let's hear you now
42:00from Jim Goodwin
42:01live in sports scene
42:02Jim that is
42:06quite a result
42:07of what do you make
42:08of today's events
42:09and the performance
42:10I mean look
42:11obviously
42:11sometimes the result
42:14is more important
42:15than the performance
42:16and I said to you
42:16before the game
42:17that it's going to be
42:19a really tough test
42:19because I don't think
42:21there's a team
42:22in the Scottish Premiership
42:23that makes you
42:24defend your box
42:26as much as what
42:27St Mirren do
42:27they're really
42:28really good
42:29at what they do
42:30they get the ball
42:30forward early
42:31make life difficult
42:33for defenders
42:33lots of set plays
42:35coming in the box
42:36lots of crosses
42:37from open play
42:38and long throws
42:38and you know
42:39they're a really
42:40big strong
42:41physical team
42:41so our guys
42:42at the back
42:42had to stand up
42:44and be counted
42:45and I thought
42:45they'd done that
42:46brilliantly
42:46yeah that was
42:48Jim Guggan
42:48a comeback victory
42:49for Dundee United
42:50today
42:51Alan Preston
42:51says St Mirren
42:52were unlucky
42:53they certainly
42:53controlled the game
42:54early on
42:54but the points
42:55go to United
42:55a massive match
42:57tomorrow
42:57Hearts against Celtic
42:58top of the table
42:59clash
43:00we've got about
43:0040 seconds left
43:01which way is it
43:02going to go?
43:02I would make
43:04Hearts like favourites
43:05I think the atmosphere
43:06will be amazing
43:06it will be a fantastic
43:08game to be at
43:09should be a fantastic
43:10game to watch
43:11I can't wait
43:12I think this is the
43:13game of the season
43:13for me so far
43:14yeah I wouldn't
43:16disagree
43:17I think atmosphere
43:18should be incredible
43:19and I think it's
43:20a unique opportunity
43:22you know for Hearts
43:23to really land
43:25a substantial blow
43:27on Celtic
43:28they're carrying
43:29injuries
