00:01St Mirren firing out onto the Hamden surface,
00:05feeling very good about themselves from that first 45 minutes.
00:09Mikil Mandron, the opening goalscorer,
00:12backed up by his strike partner, Dan Lundalu.
00:15They've dumped that ball into the back of Callum Ward's net,
00:21he's to meet in a League Cup semi-final for the second time,
00:26previously 55-56 when they drew three each,
00:31and then St Mirren won the replay 2-0 before being defeated by Aberdeen in the final.
00:40The winner of this replay comes through between Celtic and Rangers,
00:45who face tomorrow afternoon back here at Hampden Park.
00:50It's just up to Maswanise, Katrumbis.
01:00What? Blocked off, and now Lundalu.
01:03Now Mandron, Phillips wants it played early into the middle.
01:09And it almost came to him.
01:13The Ginn did enough, and it evaded them both.
01:15But it just takes on the shape of what the first half was evolving into.
01:22Looking like Mulliwell building the game up nicely.
01:24They lose the ball, and all of a sudden St Mirren are counting on them.
01:29Steve Robinson will be absolutely delighted with the way things are shaping up now.
01:32They're 2-0 up, the game's stretched.
01:35We spoke about the big park and who is it going to suit.
01:38Large part to begin with, it was that man's team controlling possession.
01:44And now it's flipped 100% towards Steven Robinson.
01:48They've got the space to go and attack once they've won the ball.
01:51And there's a wee heart in the mouth moment there when it went into the box.
01:54Killian Phillips looked like for a split second he was going to get in.
01:57The way the game's set up, it really suits St Mirren and Steven Robinson.
02:05So Jensperl Lasky will have to perhaps do something different.
02:10He hasn't made a change, but I wouldn't expect that that will alter the way they play.
02:15What things do you think he would have been working on in that dressing room?
02:20The key is, for me, and Motherwell just in general have got to be a wee bit better with us.
02:25When the turnovers happen, they've got to be a lot more secure defensively.
02:29So even as they're building the game up, you can see here, they're leaving 2-for-2 almost at the back.
02:34I just think they need to have somebody in the middle of the park that's a little bit more conscious about when the ball breaks.
02:40Worked well up to, Elijah just outside, Gogic is able to clear it away.
02:49Motherwell moving it quickly there and accurately to open up.
02:52Midfield, Longolo couldn't work his way through.
03:03And the other thing, of course, from Motherwell's perspective is they've got to be far, far more decisive in the final thought.
03:09That's for the likes of Slattery for me.
03:13Would not be surprised if he comes onto the park very soon.
03:18Again that was straight to Freckleton, O'Hara, Lundaloo and Mandron.
03:28Again Phillips is the one trying to get closest to the front two.
03:33Left by O'Hara, straight to Stanatholopoulos.
03:37And you put him side.
03:42I just think the likes of Saeed have just not been able to impose themselves in the game here.
03:47Going to need far more from them if Motherwell have got any hopes of getting themselves back into this game.
03:54Because obviously the next goal is massive.
03:56What, Faddinger?
03:57Just locked off.
03:58Gogic in charge.
03:59How often do you see it?
04:00We're all talking about it just before half time.
04:01Gogic, Cypriot, he just senses danger.
04:03Gets his body in the way and then it becomes a comfortable position for him just to control.
04:08Allows it just to drift behind for the bike and all of a sudden that's it.
04:13A rare rest on Wednesday evening did Alex Gogic to that suspension.
04:41Let's go, Cypriot!
04:42Let's go!
04:43Let's go!
04:44Let we go!
04:45Let's go!
04:46Let's go!
04:47Let's go!
04:48Take him!
04:50Oh, Ty!
04:51You f*****g can't work!
04:53Let's go!
04:54Let's go!
04:56Let's go!
05:02Let's go!
05:03Go, go, go!
05:05Go!
05:06The score goes on between Phillips and Saeed, again it's Gogic that comes out but Faddinger
05:19and Gogic gets back, and he's demanding more from his teammates.
05:28Just noticed on by the Motherwell support, Saeed.
05:44Watts strikes it, it's a good hit.
05:50Just a wee bit more bite about the attack there from Motherwell, but you look at how hard St Mirren are working out of possession to close down the opponent.
05:57Yes, it's a good strike, but unfortunately it's just too close to it, Shemal George is a pretty comfortable save for the St Mirren goalkeeper.
06:07It's a nasty clash of heads there between James Richardson and Elijah Just, the New Zealander is back up to his feet.
06:17I wonder whether it's just knocking on the head, looks as if Richardson was just clutching back his leg there.
06:27It's not a dead leg.
06:31It's a dead leg.
06:38It's Longelope.
06:43What?
06:45Longelope just cranking it back into the onrushing Longelope.
06:53Steven Welsh, dealing with Mandron well.
06:58Now what?
06:59No space for Katrumbis.
07:01Masuanise.
07:02Katrumbis continuing his run.
07:05Masuanise might not need him.
07:07Now he goes down.
07:10A little room in the end.
07:13Well, just as he was skipping into the box here,
07:17Pasuanise, Pas Freckleton to begin with.
07:20In this challenge here you just wondered whether Declan John was going to dangle a leg and bring him down,
07:26but I've got to say the Welshman defended that situation pretty well.
07:51So we'll leave it for what?
07:58Again.
08:04Faddinger towards Masuanise.
08:07He's going to scrap on with Freckleton.
08:10There'll be a Simone throw.
08:20There's an attendance of 21,277 at Humden Park.
08:25Very impressive from these two sides.
08:29Some late sales going on, I think, because as late as yesterday,
08:35both clubs were suggesting just over 8,000 each have been sold.
08:38So credit to them.
08:40Season ticket base of around about 4,000 each.
08:44Sets in the opportunity to do something special this season.
08:51He's got to go to the other side.
08:55And you see it long below on the far side, he's got his arms outstretched.
09:00Nearly watching, they just spun it out the other way.
09:02Go free kick for O'Hara, comes in from Katrumbas, the deflection takes it towards George.
09:09You can see that the front players from Motherwell, you know, the white men, they're just trying to play on the inside.
09:14channel in between the side of the three centre-halves and the wing-back.
09:19trying to get in those positions there, but occasionally when the full-back's picking it up,
09:24I do think that they're just trying to play on the inside.
09:25I think that they're just trying to play on the inside.
09:26I think that they're just trying to play on the inside.
09:31You can see that the front players from Motherwell, you know, the white men, they're just trying to play on the inside.
09:37channel in between the side of the three centre-halves and the wing-back, try to get in those positions there,
09:45but occasionally when the full-back's picking it up, I do think they can get themselves a little bit wider.
09:51Because there's a few occasions where there's been plenty space, but the full-back not had anybody out wide in front of them.
09:59Welsh, to what?
10:05to what?
10:09to begin with the right pass.
10:11Katrumbus.
10:17What?
10:19Just?
10:21What again?
10:25Longolo.
10:28Hilton's header.
10:30Now with Saeed.
10:34Just...
10:40Come back to Saeed and not the manner that he could control.
10:46I mean, Saeed did pretty well there, because as soon as he picked the ball, he's just needing somebody to come and offer,
10:50there's like a wall to bounce off him and try and get in behind.
10:56Effectively manufactured something himself there.
11:00It's looking to spread the play out towards John, but it's read by Katrumbus and now Maswanisi.
11:06He's got to break quicker for me, he's got to just burst his gut and get down the line.
11:12You're allowing St Mirren such a well-drilled defensive unit to get back into shape.
11:18It's one of the few occasions where they've had open space to go and attack.
11:30Just can't work out.
11:34It's a mirror set-up.
11:36It's getting closer to the goal.
11:40Here's the goal.
11:42Here's the goal.
11:44Here's the goal.
11:46Here's the goal.
11:48Saeed, Just. Maswanisi!
11:50Oh, he choked the shots.
11:52It's a big opportunity for Tawanda Maswanisi
11:57As I know Just, from Just, lovely little flick, he knows where Maswanisi is
12:05As this ball comes in from side, lovely clip, Just flicks that into Maswanisi's path, brilliantly
12:12And he chokes the shot, he could have taken a touch, he could have looked to try to cut it into Stamatolopoulos
12:20Well change coming for Motherwell, Callum Slattery will replace Ibram Saeed
12:39Not been out since August until recently, to start the game against Dundee United
12:50Well I think that's a fairly positive sum for me
12:58I think Ibram Saeed just struggled to impose himself in the game, Slattery is a class player
13:04Will that alter how they play, because he'd certainly be a little bit deeper and a little bit more infield than the side
13:12Well to be honest, it's the area of the part that Saeed was playing, you know I was talking before about
13:15playing on that inside channel, he's obviously not going to have the same pace to perhaps look to stretch the game in behind
13:23but if he's, you know, still getting himself up to fitness, Slattery, but he's got the quality to potentially go and hurt Sid Mirren
13:33Touches for Carl Slattery
13:43Welch, not to substitute, Fraser loses it, Longolo, Stagnopoulos
14:13Philip's challenging, Longolo, he's come off second best, the Irishman
14:31What a face that was
14:36You get a sense the next goal in this game is going to be really pivotal
14:41Motherwell get it, they're well and truly back in the game
14:45Obviously for St Mirren, it's game over if they score I thought
14:50I'm sure it's getting a sense that Motherwell are eking their way back in
14:54Just with the effort, swerving away from goal
14:58Saturday wasn't hanging about with the pre-kick
15:02That's what Motherwell need, they need to play quickly
15:05Just wondered whether Josh could have reversed it back into Slattery's path
15:10Played a little one-two
15:12He's gone for the strike but it's just a country mile away from hitting the target
15:17Sacrificed as Max Rodgers trying to come up with a plan to rescue this situation
15:33With an hour played
15:39Comes off Stagnopoulos, Rogic has to react
15:51Trumbis back to McGinn, now Welsh
15:54Longelow, Slattery returns it to Longelow
16:04Longelow with a dangerous ball in but there's Gogic again
16:10Such an important figure isn't he, Alex Gogic
16:13Richardson has stayed down, gives the freedom for Longelow to cross
16:18Baswanisi, touches it to Katrumbis
16:22Stamatlopoulos was in the middle, just over the top of him
16:26Motherwell sensing that this could be their moment to get back into this tie
16:32They've got overload round the back
16:36We just wonder whether Katrumbis could have cut it back
16:39Originally he's trying to pick it out precisely for Stamatlopoulos
16:43But too many players in there
16:45I mean look, I understand St Mirren, the supporters are not pleased
16:48But you've got a defender going down with Cram
16:52You know what the rules are now
16:53There's no way you're expecting Motherwell to knock that ball out
16:56It's not a serious injury, he's got Cram
17:00It's not a head knock, so the referee's no stopping the game
17:03Thearımort goes short with the corner
17:09Olaudij just clips it for Welsh
17:22Back to Thaddinger
17:24Longerlo wanted to go early but there was nobody to hit.
17:47What, Katrumbis, Slattery, great save by George, but it's all Marwell right now.
17:58And listen to the crowd, they're getting the sense that there's something there for them,
18:03Slattery with a really good strike, it's well worked, side to side, stretching St Mirren,
18:10Shamal George coming up with a strong save.
18:14What, pinging it across the box, Katrumbis, the awareness just to cut it back.
18:19Giant, what, another couple of feet into the corner then the goalkeeper probably is in a bit of trouble,
18:24but good strike but a comfortable save in the end for Shamal George.
18:29Well, Dan Lundaloo, his strike really lit up this Premier Sports Cup semi-final.
18:41He makes way to be replaced by Jona Iunga.
18:45Jona Iunga puts Samirin into this position of relative comfort.
18:59Maybe a Samirin pre-kick going the way of O'Hara.
19:03Harding are penalised.
19:05No question about the Addinger just late into the challenge on O'Hara.
19:19O'Hara gets there.
19:21John.
19:22Iunga.
19:23John's still there.
19:25Good ball towards the back post, Mand ordin...
19:35Good ball towards the back post.
19:36Mahara gets there, John.
19:43Ayunga, John's still there.
19:46It's a good ball towards the back post, Mandron.
19:55No slattery, and he's sensing the opportunity for just...
20:00kind of a tug on the shirt of Creckleton.
20:06He's got a pass there from Ayunga.
20:11John, a good pick-out.
20:23Ayunga is preparing a double change here,
20:27and it will be made now.
20:30Johnny Katrumbis will head off,
20:33he's replaced by Tom Sparrow.
20:37And also Callum Hendry coming on.
20:40It will be Foslos Stamatolopoulos who makes way.
20:45Well, it looks long, Foslos Stamatolopoulos.
20:50It looks long, Foslos Stamatolopoulos.
20:55It looks long, Foslos Stamatolopoulos.
20:59It's a bit unsighted by Gogic there and just...
21:04I guess the shot away deflected.
21:06It's another one for George to handle cleanly.
21:08Whenever you just get the sense that Motherwell are going to be able to get in behind and cause problems,
21:17St Mirren they work so hard to get back in and shut things off and put pressure on the opposition.
21:24If you get anything against St Mirren you've got to work so hard for it.
21:27Seldom do they gift anything to the opposition.
21:34Fanninger off the throw, Slattery leaves it.
21:35That's too much for Phillips to be tempted into.
21:37And likewise,
21:39we're going to get back in and get back in and get back in and shut things off and put pressure on the opposition.
21:42If you get anything against St Mirren you've got to work so hard for it.
21:44Seldom do they gift anything to the opposition.
21:49Fanninger off the throw, Slattery leaves it, that's too much for Phillips to be tempted into.
22:03Likewise Watt into the sliding challenge.
22:06Coming up next weekend we are off to Paisley, the Smicer Stadium for St Mirren against Hibernian in the Premiership.
22:22That's Saturday from 5.15 Premier Sports 1.
22:25And at the end of November 29th it is Kilmarnock against Dundee United.
22:31And then we are at Tannenice for Dundee United Rangers on Wednesday the 3rd of December.
22:37And do remember of course every Monday on X and YouTube we have the Scottish Football Social Club at 6 o'clock.
22:47And that's what he say, wins it from Freckleton.
22:54He was able to get back there.
22:56They've just been so untidy and making wrong decisions in the final third so often.
23:02Another work.
23:15I guess. John.
23:17What?
23:18But it's straight to O'Hara.
23:19Iunga.
23:20Welsh.
23:21To receive that pass.
23:22Longolo.
23:23Slattery.
23:24It's just.
23:25Backus.
23:26Slattery and a scrap.
23:27It will be a similar free kick.
23:28As I felt and I tell you I don't think Callum Slattery is going to be able to do it.
23:29It will be a similar free kick.
23:30As I felt and I tell you I don't think Callum Slattery is going to be able to do it.
23:31It will be a similar free kick.
23:32As I felt and I tell you I don't think Callum Slattery, he did not need to pull his jersey because I think at that moment they'd probably just managed to outnumber and win it back.
23:44Freckleton again.
23:45She doesn't need to pull it.
23:46He's taken a heavy touch.
23:47And it looked as if Motherwell were going to be able to pick up the loose ball and counter and Slattery just instinctively he's pulled Miguel Freckleton's jersey there and he's allowed St Mirren to just get it out.
24:02And it looked as if Motherwell were going to be able to pick up the loose ball and counter and Slattery just instinctively he's pulled Miguel Freckleton's jersey there.
24:11And he's allowed St Mirren to just get control of the game again.
24:23We'll see that out.
24:36Freckleton.
24:37John O'Hara.
24:54Ginn.
24:55Be careful here, it's Wad utilising Wad again get them out of the troublesome situation.
25:03That goes Henry, it's an only free kick.
25:27Just, Longolo, just again,
25:32low into the middle, it will go just wide,
25:36it just won't go in from Motherwell and Masuanisi.
25:41No, it's just so frustrating for Motherwell,
25:45it's a lovely little ball from Longolo,
25:47and in just the deflection it probably just takes it away from Masuanisi.
25:55I tell you, if it doesn't deflect it's probably landing at Calamandri.
26:02Frustration, etched across the face in the Motherwell support,
26:08and the manager.
26:11There will be a double change here for Sam Mirren.
26:20Liam Donnelly, former Motherwell player,
26:22is coming on for Keanu Bacchus.
26:25Richard King for Jaden Richardson.
26:34Come on, come on.
26:43Come on.
26:46Slattery, who's been lively since he came on.
27:01Sparrow, teasing ball in.
27:17He's looking for the head of Just.
27:20There's King away.
27:24Paddinger.
27:39Just again.
27:41No way through.
27:42Mandron.
27:43Looking for Iunga.
27:44Here.
27:45For the long range effort from King.
27:50Jamaican source and aiming lights there.
27:59Slattery to what?
28:03Sparrow.
28:04There it goes from Freckleton.
28:05What again?
28:06Faddinger.
28:07Just.
28:08What a leak that was.
28:12Byunga.
28:13To Gabren.
28:14Yes.
28:15Oh, here it goes.
28:17To Burr.
28:18To Att гарver.
28:19And from Ter 선.
28:22That strikes it.
28:24To Watt.
28:25Sparrow.
28:26Here it goes from Freckleton.
28:29I suppose the challenge has been set for Motherwell pretty much from when they fell
28:49two behind, Steven Robinson's playing down that challenge and saying are you going to
28:54be good enough to break us open, are you going to be good enough to get past that offscott catch
29:01because whenever you think you're getting in behind that man invariably slides across
29:07and plugs the gap.
29:13A man for the big occasion isn't he?
29:24It's a good flick on from Iunga, Mandrone just beaten to it by Welsh, Motherwell just accepting
29:39that they have to go two on two and there's what is caught out, Iunga, Mandrone, is this it?
29:44Oh, the post comes to Motherwell's rescue and they win the free kick too, well how big a moment might that be?
29:54I mean, crazy stuff.
29:57St Mirren doing so well to shut them down and, oh, I mean, Mandrone desperately trying to outstretch his toe
30:06they get it on target and it comes off the post, Motherwell, a huge sigh of relief.
30:16There was a yellow card for Richard King, somewhere in there.
30:23Look at the confirmation of that.
30:24Phillips up to Mandrone, linked to Phillips again, it's just a little bit behind King but they keep it going.
30:33Mandrone, Phillips, to finish it!
30:38It's a whisker wide from Killian Phillips.
30:41Well, it's a great break, as you said there, that ball was just behind Mandrone a little bit but it doesn't stop him.
30:47Doesn't catch the ball well, does he killing flops, he kicks into the ground a little bit there.
30:57Well, here comes Regan Charles Cook, this is the end of the road for Tawanda Maswanese.
31:03It looks like Regan Charles Cook, he breaks the way of Aunga,
31:29Vyunga, Mandron, Samirin looking the more likely to add to their tally, Mandron.
31:38Yeah, I mean, the game is well and truly set.
31:41Motherwell desperately trying to cut Samirin open,
31:46and every time that Samirin get the ball now you can see
31:48gaping holes for them to go and break and counter into.
31:52That's what I mean, the first goal in most games is very important,
31:59but you just feel at times against Samirin more so.
32:03Because there's such a difficult side to break down.
32:06As I've mentioned already, they don't give much away.
32:09If you get anything out of a game against Samirin, you've got to work ever so hard.
32:14Slattery, the box was loaded, but he couldn't find the teammate's head.
32:22This was the one where Elliot Watt, everywhere he turned,
32:28he was just getting shut down and closed off.
32:33I wonder whether, is it Sparrow, whether he gets a little touch on that,
32:40and just pushes it, actually on to Mandron,
32:44slides it that little bit wider.
32:47This great last-nitch defendant.
32:52Sparrow reacts again.
33:02They've just not been able to find a solution to
33:05St Mirren sitting in
33:09and being able to break down the back line.
33:14cut forward by Watt.
33:21Now Phillips.
33:23And they're tied forward.
33:32Dominic able to catch that one, Slattery.
33:35To sidestep Freckleton,
33:37and he's having none of it, John for Iunga, it's a foul by Paul McGinn
33:53That's just pure frustration isn't it, you can see Paul McGinn
33:57play does actually quite well, gets his foot round on the ball but
34:02more often than not you're gonna get punished for coming around from behind but
34:07I'd say that was one of the challenges that's probably on the cusp there for me
34:10because I think he got plenty of the ball and it wasn't as if he went through the player to do it
34:15third one, we'll finish this off for good
34:33They can look forward to the 14th of December, the Premier Sports Cup Final
34:40Mongolo up to Charles Cook
34:49again
35:04Mongolo up to Charles Cook
35:10will not stay in play
35:31just like too often in the game
35:36and I know it gets altered because of the scoreline but
35:39Denzbert Alasku's side
35:41the full backs obviously are the widest players but they've been
35:45picking the ball up deeper
35:47they've had very little in front of them
35:50higher up on the line
35:52and a lot of the runs have been
35:55from in to out
35:56and I just think they're very difficult runs to actually affect the game
36:01I understand, you know, Jens Bertolaski
36:03what those guys have been a little bit narrower
36:05because
36:06it's up against that back five
36:08but
36:10they've kept doing it and kept doing it and it's not really working
36:14it's a yellow card for
36:19it's a yellow card for
36:22Tom Sparrow
36:44to Sparrow and King
36:47in the referee's notebook
36:50Donnelly will leave it for John
36:54a lot of people thought about it then
36:56decided to go back
36:58it's a big turn from Phillips
37:01Hendry
37:03it's up to Faddinger who can complete the clearance
37:07the clearance
37:26sorry but
37:27that was just
37:28the perfect embodiment of nonsense from VAR
37:31delay Don, delay Don
37:33wait a minute
37:35sorry, nothing
37:40no wonder
37:41you know, we've been listening to that
37:42but no wonder the fans just get frustrated with things like that
37:47Charles Cook out to Sparrow
37:49ball comes back
37:50it is
37:51game on
37:53Callum Hendry
37:54makes it 2-1
37:59it is very much game on at Hampden Park
38:02the deficit reduced
38:04Motherwell have hope
38:06they have
38:07around about 8 minutes
38:09and it's a quick free kick
38:10that clearly
38:11is stopped
38:12and look
38:13this is where they've just not got to enough
38:15in the wide areas
38:17in behind the back line
38:18and all of a sudden
38:19when you start playing balls from there
38:21it changes the thing
38:22dramatically
38:23because
38:24when this comes in
38:25the defenders are facing their own goal
38:28they're having to twist and turn
38:29and find where the men are
38:31and it's a neat finish from
38:32Carl Hendry
38:34slides it into the back of the net
38:36Shamal George from such close range
38:38has got no chance
38:39Motherwell have desperately been
38:41waiting for that opportunity
38:44have they got long enough?
38:46seven minutes left
38:48it's plenty of time Rory
38:50plenty of time
38:51but
38:52have they got another one in them?
38:55that's the question
38:56you'd imagine there's going to be more opportunities
38:58but as we've seen the game
39:01unfold
39:02St Mirren are not short on chances as well
39:05Carl Hendry's first goal
39:09Claret and Amber
39:10on the turf
39:11that his dad graced
39:13so famously
39:15in Scotland's blue
39:30Declan John
39:31on
39:34right away out to the edge
39:35but a heavy touch
39:36and Slattery
39:39couldn't get away
39:42and that was
39:44Richard King
39:46who has already been booked
39:47made the foul
39:48and then delayed the take
39:49of the free kick
39:51risky stuff from the Jamaican
39:57that's it to the crowd
39:59Motherwell fans
40:00there's now just
40:02a bit more hope
40:03that something
40:04can happen here
40:07right if Narmilow can
40:08get this
40:09fired into the middle
40:10Gogic
40:11and back it goes
40:12to his goalkeeper
40:19desperate stuff isn't it
40:20but
40:21Gogic
40:22he's such a
40:23big performer
40:24for St Mirren
40:26there's never a pass back
40:27he's just shotting off the cross
40:30Oonga
40:34too strong for McGinn
40:36O'Hara
40:37Mandron now
40:39King joining in
40:40oh
40:41gets away from
40:42Longalow
40:44King goes for the return
40:45it's Richard King
40:48and where's that gonna go
40:49it's gonna go into the back of the necks
40:51Richard King of Hampden Park
40:57and it is St Mirren's semi-final
41:01they'll be back
41:04to contest the showcase event on December the 14th
41:08that has silenced the opposite end of Hampden Park
41:18and it's raucous celebrations once again for those in black and white
41:23it's just desperate stuff
41:27so many occasions where Motherwell
41:29you're thinking
41:30they should be able to make a block
41:32they don't look like they were gonna give a penalty away
41:34and then look at this
41:36oh it's brutal from Motherwell
41:38it really is
41:39but it's pure desire
41:42from St Mirren
41:43King
41:44he's the one that wants to make sure he's getting in there
41:46it's not even a strong strike from King is it?
41:54a horrible, horrible goal for Motherwell to lose
41:58but you've got to see
42:00St Mirren
42:01it just is a perfect embodiment of them as a team
42:04they do not give up
42:11and just when Motherwell think there's something there for them
42:13St Mirren slammed the door closed
42:16St Mirren fans savouring this
42:21it's too much for some Motherwell fans who are heading for the exits now
42:33Longolo in, Freckleton, Slattery
42:37Gogic fires it as far as he can
42:42Manzong wins the pre-kick
42:46Scott Tanzer
42:47and Conor McMenamin
42:48are coming on
42:49Declan John

43:40and
43:41John
43:42and
43:43John
43:44again the target but
43:45again beat him
43:46Phillips
43:47Fraser all the way back
43:58to George
43:59up goes Mandron again
44:00Ayunga
44:01and Phillips
44:02can it get even better for Phillips?
44:04what a goal that would have been
44:19still maybe for Mandron
44:21oh wow
44:23Mikel Mandron for St Mirren
44:26no down now
44:29no down now
44:34this is a day
44:35that St Mirren
44:37will remember
44:38for a long long time
44:40and what may it lead to
44:42that
44:43is the excitement
44:45that awaits those supporters
44:47but for now
44:48a moment to savour
44:50and to enjoy
44:52and to live
44:56what an attempt
44:57from Killian Phillips
44:58from Killian Phillips
45:00and then a great finish
45:01you've got to say
45:02from Mandron
45:03but
45:04they're just looking at
45:05a potential offside
45:06I think it's
45:07when the strike is
45:09taken here
45:11Mandron might just be
45:13marginally offside
45:22that's a great attempt
45:23from Killian Phillips
45:25but he just might have been
45:27marginally offside
45:28when the strike was taken
45:30from Killian Phillips
45:31no
45:32there you go
45:33he's actually on
45:34which is great to see
45:36because
45:37you want to see
45:38quality moments like that
45:39standing
45:40and this is a quality finish
45:41from Mandron
45:42into the far corner
45:44and what a convincing scoreline
45:46this now is
45:47inch-perfect from Mandron
45:53not a possible foul
45:57all I heard was them potentially looking at an offside Rory but
46:02let's try and find something to disallow another goal
46:09well the offside is cleared that was obvious a while ago
46:19another foul to look at
46:21so Mirren were involved in one on Wednesday night which seems pretty controversial
46:26extremely harsh
46:27extremely harsh
46:32so they're a potential failure
46:34what have a look at
46:35I mean
46:36I think we've seen three or four replays
46:37I'm not sure any of us have seen anything that would constitute it
46:40that's Greg Aitken that's given his instructions
46:54that's not a foul
46:55I mean honestly
46:56I mean
46:57he looks at the defender
46:58yeah because
46:59the ball's up there
47:00he's looking at the defender
47:01that's not a foul
47:02sorry
47:03you know
47:04if you want to micro-analyse every single instant
47:06you will find something to blow your whistle and cancel out goals
47:09this is getting pathetic
47:11honestly
47:12Scottish football
47:13he barely
47:14watch
47:15look at that
47:16he almost dives past the attacker there
47:18we've just seen a great goal
47:20and the officials are yet again trying to find something to disallow
47:24there's contact
47:25yes
47:26is it a foul?
47:27no
47:28it's a goal
47:29hurry up
47:30that's a joke
47:31Don Robertson's had a good few looks at this
47:34because he's not convinced
47:35he's not convinced
47:39good
47:40good
47:41goal given
47:42well done referee
47:44but hang your head and shame honestly
47:46a double for Mikel Mandron on appearance number 100
47:54for Sumerran
47:56I'm absolutely delighted that Don Robertson's done that
48:03you know we're getting to the stage where
48:06the last few weeks
48:07it's like almost
48:08find anything
48:09in a phase of play
48:10to disallow a goal
48:11goals are what football's all about
48:14just forward
48:21the strike
48:24flies wide
48:25from Hendry
48:26from Hendry
48:51Welsh
48:52and Slattery
48:56and I know Michael that Steven Robinson often feels that his side don't get the credit for the way that they play, the results that they get, they deserve so much credit for this this evening
49:19yeah they do
49:20yeah they do
49:21I mean look
49:22I think sometimes
49:23Steve Robinson's just got to
49:27say it the way it is
49:28they play good football
49:29yes
49:30but they're an extremely difficult site to play against first and foremost
49:33they get the ball into the front men quickly
49:35they shouldn't be having to try to justify it
49:37that is what it is
49:38there's teams that play far greater
49:40football that's pretty on the eye
49:42but St Mirren get results
49:44well and this has been the perfect contrast because Motherwell have been praised to the hilt this season for the way that they've played
49:51there's only been one winner of this football match
49:53absolutely
49:54how would I want football to be played? I would want my side to play like Motherwell
49:59but when it comes to the most important thing in football it's winning games in St Mirren
50:04they're good at it, they get results, Steven Robinson's had brilliant consistency
50:09and as you just quite rightly mentioned there
50:12they're the ones that have been able to impose their game onto Motherwell here
50:16and they thoroughly deserve to be going through to the final
50:28that will be a corner kick on the far side
50:32in the far side
50:38Flipped on by Freckleton
50:43Sparrow's throw
50:57Out it goes
50:58it goes.
51:58What?
52:00Charles Cook, that will be Samirran free-kick, they can sit back and watch and enjoy tomorrow.
52:08The Celtic and Rangers go fight tooth and nail for their right to join Samirran back here in the final.
52:17Meneman was yellow carded, just confirmation of that coming through.
52:31George pings it long, Iunga has done a good job off the bench.
52:37Continuing that threat alongside Mandrone who wins the free-kick.
52:44There aren't many defences that will want to come up against any combination of Lundaloo, Mandrone and Iunga either.
52:53No, no chance.
52:55They perfectly, they pretty much what they're all about, they're strong, they're athletic, they've got an eye for goal and they're so very difficult to play against, they don't give you a moment's peace.
53:11They're constantly asking questions of you.
53:14Four games without a win, they have picked the perfect time to break that.
53:23Eight goals scored in the league, only Aberdeen fewer, but they've come up with four this evening at Hampden Park.
53:38Without a doubt, their best showing of the season.
53:42They will have shot in glory to repeat what they managed in 2013.
53:48Steven Robinson has guided Samirran to the Premier Sports Cup final.
53:56The former Motherwell manager continues to achieve with Samirran.
54:03Mikhail Mandrone led the line, got the opening goal.
54:08His strike partner, Dan Lundaloo.
54:11have made a very, very brief.
54:16We want to get all the other ones to save, so that we can vote for a game.
54:20We have to take a moment last year of the game.
54:24We can vote for the last year of the person with a race in the world.
54:27We will also vote for the last year of the Aragon and the Ruan.
54:29We will continue to vote for two to strike in history.
54:33We will close this year of the Vale of the World Series.
