00:59have an impact on a football match that has been uh much anticipated it's dry at the moment
01:05but the forecast is that it will be wet perhaps very wet by the time the game is underway and
01:13certainly by the time of the second half the crowd though are here and they are in good form there's
01:17a right old cacophony going on the atmosphere is terrific and kickoff is moments away this one of
01:26the great amphitheaters of the game you are welcome to it and indeed to one of the grandest fixtures
01:34what are you making of this formation jim beglin well the beauty of this system peter is that you
01:39can offer both a back five and the front two having sufficient strength at either end of the team where
01:46you need it equally the wingbacks can supplement the numbers in midfield to make it a five so
01:52i think it affords managers the ultimate flexibility and i think if i were really
01:58pushed on what i'd like most this would be the uh this would be the system
02:03so we're up and running
02:20well positioned to make that intersection get that clear
02:33well it is over the line
02:47here it comes a really good feat
02:51well with urge to shoot and he duly delivered and that's what the game is all about find space
03:06and finish but we have to credit the pastor to take him out
03:25so
03:32deadlock broken it's one bill well just listen to the reaction i think you can hear the approval from the
03:43support all around the stadium
03:46he's kicked him out he's got the ball he's got the space
04:10very necessary
04:27tries to dink it in
04:38really well to intervene and dispel the growing danger
04:49all the way back and they start again
04:52great lead
05:06there is the half-time whistle so there you have it a close sport half of football but still had its moments but ultimately produced just one goal
05:16a more than decent game up to now
05:20not the most convincing of displays they could certainly do much better than this they'll want to keep things simple build up their confidence and not rush into mistakes
05:30so

07:32out
07:34upper gear that's how it looks here
07:44got a sight of goal here it's real can he put it away
07:49big relief it just needed better contact oh look i don't want to sound
07:53too dismissive but from here that looks the harder thing to do
07:56there's some activity down on the touchline it seems there's got to be a change
08:15more impressions so far jim yeah time's running out for the host to get something
08:20out of this you can sense the frustration and impatience
08:27tries to get it forward quickly could be thinking about a shot here
08:34oh that's nice
08:38and yet another chance goes to waste they're just lacking a cutting edge peter and while
08:43that's fairly obvious the rest of their attacking play is actually quite good
08:52ah now some movement on the bench and we are going to see a change
08:56place it out to the wing
09:00He plays it out to the wing.
09:22It is looking like the end.
09:24If anything's going to happen, it's got to happen now.
09:26Well, it's looking like too little too late,
09:29but they are giving it all they have.
09:32Forward it goes.
09:36Well, it remains to be seen whether they can come up
09:38with that little bit of class to rescue the situation.
09:41It needs to be any time now, really.
09:49Confirmation that there will be two-minute stoppage time.
09:56And the referee brings it to a close.
09:58Well, that is truly disappointing.
10:01It is a results business, and this result is worth nothing.
10:05That's a fairly demoralising loss.
10:08They hardly threaten, and this was about as insipid as it comes.
10:13Well, that's it for tonight's match.
10:15So it just remains for me to thank Jim Beglin alongside me
