00:00and so 16 remain round five begins under the lights here in North Lanarkshire with all those
00:08hopes and dreams alive and kicking for those still in the tournament it's the first time
00:13St Mirren have been in town on Scottish Cup duty since 1983 they won that one 5-0 and whilst they
00:21haven't been in good form Tuesday's victory over premiership leaders hearts will have injected
00:27a real feel-good factor through them as they come to championship Eardrionians who've been a pretty
00:34good cup side this season they narrowly missed out on a last 16 spot in the League Cup by a single goal
00:40along with Dunfermline and on Tuesday this week they beat our Broth on penalties for the second
00:46time in a couple of weeks to reach the Challenge Cup semis having dispatched the Licherties by the
00:52same method in the previous round of this tournament after a 4-0 second half hounding of
00:57Hamilton in round three
00:59well the exception of the missing skipper Aidan Wilson it's the team that started last week's
01:08impressive league win at Dunfermline his place goes to on loan Newcastle defender Charlie MacArthur
01:15who is a Scotland under 21 international and he arrived in the winter window Henderson has 16 goals
01:21this season and has five in his last six former St Mirren Academy graduates Dean McMaster and Dilly
01:27McDonald have important roles to play against their old side Jack Smith the grandson of Walter Smith
01:33five-time Scottish Cup winning Rangers manager is listed on the bench
01:38Dan and Lundaloo hasn't made it for Saints so Jake Young returns having missed the win over
01:44Hearts through suspension
01:46he was sent off on his first start against Dundee last weekend
01:50that aparts the side that began that morale boosting victory on Tuesday and seven of them
01:56started December's League Cup final
01:59silverware already in the bank for the buddies this season
02:052018 final referee Kevin Clancy is in the middle for this one and he too was involved in that League Cup showpiece
02:14and a reminder there is no VAR this evening
02:19the first of seven ties taking place across the next three days gets underway a place in the quarters up for grabs
02:30both teams have toiled at times in the league Airdrie embroiled in a battle against the drop
02:36that they narrowly avoided last season
02:39Lewis Strap in particular spared them as they beat Cove in the playoffs to stay up
02:44Saints did themselves a huge favour by winning the other night
02:48their first in 90 minutes since the turn of the year
02:51six points clear of the playoff position with a game in hand and Kilmarnock
02:55they needed penalties to come through Livingston
02:58in round four
03:00it's been 102 years since the Scottish Cup came to Broomfield
03:04the only time it's happened Saints have won it three times but not since 1987
03:09and they added to a dreadful week for Dundee and I did he lost both legs of the UEFA Cup
03:15finally their side of that game at Hampden
03:17Ian Ferguson and all that
03:192011 finalist Stephen Cregan alongside me what kind of match are you expecting tonight?
03:26Well I have to say it's going to be a fascinating encounter because I genuinely believe both sides come into this game
03:31thinking they can win it
03:32which always brings a little bit of spice and an edge to it
03:35Samoran clearly got the big win during the week against Hearts
03:37Airdrie back-to-back wins
03:39they helped me want to really get after this game and show what they're all about
03:42also a good gauge for Airdrie just to see what it's like then against an established premiership side for a lot of these younger players
03:47I mentioned to the manager pre-match that in the 10 game form table
03:53they are just behind the top three in the division just now
03:57just two points above
04:00the bottom side Queen's Park after Ross County got themselves off the foot at the table having been there for a while
04:08Samoran in their change colours
04:14right to left in the purple
04:16this first half it wasn't the worst idea just about got Young involved and he is involved now
04:23in the new arrivals
04:27there's another Divani
04:3418 years of age the Manchester United youth team captain
04:42nothing Richardson could do about that it is
04:46really bitterly cold in Airdrie tonight the rain is
04:52teaming down as well I mentioned there's seven ties this weekend
04:57there are due to have been eight played
04:59the all premiership match between Aberdeen and Motherwell
05:03cited for tomorrow evening has been postponed until the 18th because of the
05:07continual deluge of rain in the northeast
05:11just showing no let up
05:14it's going to be interesting to see how Airdrie can deal with the physicality of St Myrne
05:23I think they're a strong powerful side you can see the difference in physique when you look onto the pitch at both sets of players
05:29we all know where you can play they can handle the ball
05:32I like to mix it up a little bit
05:34they prefer to play their football closer to the opposition's goal
05:37so slightly different set up and outlook for Airdrie to face this evening
05:41Miguel Freckleton there
05:43the ball again here
05:45scored the winner
05:47the winner against Hearts the other night
05:49stopped the rot for Saints
05:52looked as though they were running out of time
05:59against the ten men
06:02Richardson's ball in
06:05Kennan's there
06:07that's what Stephen Robinson would want to be an awful lot better
06:11it's that final ball
06:12that cross into the box
06:13we've said it already
06:14you look at Craig Ross
06:15he's not the most powerful in physical centre half
06:17when you've got Jake Young
06:18you've got Mika Mandron
06:19you've got Kylian Phillips
06:20all looking to get into the box
06:22when you're presented with an opportunity to cross it
06:24make sure it's on the money
06:25outside flag against Young
06:35he's arrived at Saints after a spell at Stevenage
06:42Bradford City
06:45he was at Forest Green Rovers as a youngster
06:48he's a willing runner Liam
06:51that's the one thing you'll get from him
06:52I watched him at the weekend against Dundee
06:53quite happy to get his head up
06:55and charge at people
06:56and get him behind
06:57so Airdrie will have to be careful
06:59of what kind of line they hold
07:00and how high it is
07:01it was a good point that Stephen Robinson
07:08made before the match to you
07:09about the fact that
07:10the vast majority of Airdrie's starting XI
07:14have either played top flight football in this country
07:18or they have come through academies
07:20at top flight clubs
07:21well it is
07:22but you can tell they're well coached
07:24that's why technically they're very good
07:25and sometimes when you drop out of an academy
07:28you can lose your heart
07:29and you can kind of fall out in love with the game
07:30you only have to look at Fulker
07:32like Calvin Miller
07:33Liam Henderson
07:33guys you've stuck at it
07:35they've had to do the hard yards
07:36they've had to do the miles
07:37but they've got themselves back into the premiership
07:39that has to be the aspiration
07:41for a lot of these young players
07:42both having fantastic seasons
07:44it's a chance to showcase themselves
07:49it's on TV
07:50people are having a little look
07:51a lot of people maybe don't watch championship football
07:53so this is the first time
07:54you're going to be in the eye line
07:55of potential suitors
07:57it's Declan John
08:00he's a bit of looking to settle quickly here
08:02you're on the top flight side
08:09going into a potential banana skin cup tie
08:11it's exactly what you want
08:13plenty on that
08:16did Young
08:17it's a comfortable take for Harry Stone
08:20who's on loan from Hearts
08:21made some important shootout saves
08:24recently in cup ties
08:25I think Steven Roberts will be pleased
08:28with the start that the side have made
08:29they're on the front foot
08:30they're being aggressive
08:31they're winning the ball high up
08:32Airdrie aren't really getting the chance
08:34to build their play
08:35and show what they're worth
08:36at this moment in time
08:37sometimes you've just got to ride the storm out
08:39get yourself into the open
08:40in 10-15 minutes of the game
08:41and then try and impose yourself on it
08:43interesting to see Charlie McArthur
09:03that's the one I'm looking forward to seeing Liam
09:05heard a lot of good things about him
09:07but tonight you're up against two experienced centre forwards
09:10this is what you want as a young player
09:11you want exposed to this style of football
09:13this kind of football
09:14where it's physical
09:15and people have to mix it up a little bit
09:17can you go and match it
09:18big chance for him to impress
09:20centre back on loan from Newcastle
09:24from Kilmarnock
09:24it's his first club
09:25here's Henderson
09:28he's having that terrific campaign
09:30he's got some important goals recently
09:35he's another one
09:42he burst onto the scene
09:43Ewan Henderson
09:43got lots of potential
09:45league one last season
09:46but Hamilton didn't really go the way he wanted
09:48but suddenly you're back in the championship
09:49you're finding your feet
09:50you're thriving
09:51you're full of confidence
09:52and of course we always know
09:54he's got lots of pace
09:54so I've been talking about Airdrie's line
09:56so Myrne will have to be careful
09:57you're talking about Henderson bursting onto the scene
10:04that was at Hearts of course
10:06over 50 times for the Hearts first team
10:09amongst all that scored in the Scottish Cup
10:14against Airdrie Onions
10:16took a while to get that goal the other night
10:29Stephen Robinson who will be
10:31I would imagine trying to beat his step record
10:34in the technical area again tonight
10:36I think that picture we see probably sums him up
10:41he never relaxes really and enjoys the game
10:43he's always on the edge of his technical area
10:45he's demanding of his players
10:47I think his biggest fear coming in tonight
10:48is that Myrne suddenly think
10:50they're smashing footballing team
10:51because they've made Hearts at the top of the table
10:52complacency will be their biggest enemy tonight
10:55and that's something he's trying to guard against
10:57Tuesday night was just their fifth league win of the season
11:04and away from home
11:08they've been poor
11:09Airdrie have been poor at home
11:10St Myrne haven't been great on the road
11:14it's something that Stephen Robinson
11:19will be wanting to sort
11:21I know the boys at the top of the programme
11:26spoke about Jacob Devaney
11:27just even his first few touches in this game
11:30for an 18 year old
11:31very mature
11:32very composed
11:33clearly he's technically very good
11:34but sometimes when you get an academy player
11:36from a big club in England
11:37you just worry about their mentality
11:39do they have the heart for a battle and a fight
11:42it certainly does
11:43here's Mandraan
11:45it comes from Freckleton
11:47too much on it though
11:49despite the best efforts of
11:50Jaden Richardson
11:52disappointing cross in the end
11:57isn't it's really well worked by Samarant
11:59you can see Charlie Telford not been able to
12:02make up the yards with
12:03Freckleton
12:03if you can just take a little bit off it
12:05Richardson's out at the back post
12:07but again encouraging signs from the visitors
12:09there you go there's a little bit of bite him
12:21talking about Liam
12:22prepared to get up top of the game
12:23Stavani
12:24wanting to make an attack
12:25a win the ball high up
12:27lovely appetite for the game
12:28and Stavani's last win in 90 minutes
12:35away from home this season
12:37came at Falkirk
12:38in the middle of September
12:40and obviously beat Motherwell and Celtic
12:42in 90 minutes at Hampden
12:44neutral ground
12:46in the latter stages of the League Cup
12:48he's not getting on to that
12:51that was just a wonderful success
12:55success for the players
12:57the manager of the football club
12:58the town of Paisley
12:59and how they celebrated
13:01mightly so
13:04if they can win the Scottish Cup this season
13:10they will join a pretty exclusive club
13:13this just goes awry
13:19just that final pass again
13:22from Jake Young
13:23just overheats it
13:25I think he actually should possibly
13:27have released it a little bit earlier
13:28takes his touch
13:29there you go
13:30he's another one
13:30he's another one
13:31he's three touches
13:32he probably should have released it
13:33three touches earlier
13:34Jaden Richardson's on his bike
13:36this is the problem
13:45Airdrie have
13:45unless they're so precise
13:47into the feet
13:47of Ewan Henderson
13:49or Chris Mockery
13:50they're not going to win anything early
13:52St. Mary's line's been very good
13:54they're fully aware
13:55the pace of the two of them
13:56not giving them an awful lot
13:57to work with
13:58still in McDonald's
14:22still in McDonald's
14:22and well there
14:23Mockery on the turn
14:41they got themselves
14:45in a good position there
14:46I just wonder if
14:47Mockery could have been more direct
14:49that's better isn't it
14:51he's getting the ball in the feet
14:52there's no doubt Chris Mockery
14:53he's got that little bit of quality
14:54he can drift past players
14:56he can make things happen
14:57he can get himself in the score sheet
14:58just a little bit sloppy
15:00when he gets the ball
15:00turns really well
15:01you think to yourself
15:02go on
15:02make sure the ball sticks
15:04you haven't had a lot of the ball
15:05in the final third
15:06still a bit loose with possession
15:07St. Mary's strong
15:09physical
15:10reading it really well
15:11John
15:19corner is prevented
15:28it's Charlie Telfer there
15:31you're going to see him
15:31working like a buzz bomb
15:34in that midfield
15:35he covers a lot of ground
15:37former Rangers
15:39Stunned United
15:40Ross County man
15:41he's got a tough shift
15:44I've got to say
15:44he's been on the right hand
15:45side of a diamond
15:46which means he wants to be
15:47in the middle of the pitch
15:48linking up
15:48but he's also going to have to
15:50come out at times
15:51track
15:51Declan John
15:52or Freckleton
15:53coming down
15:53the left hand side
15:54so he's going to have to get
15:56his timing right
15:56his positioning right
15:57otherwise he's going to be
15:58running back towards his own
15:59goal an awful lot
16:00spent the second half
16:03of last season
16:04final stat
16:05Ross County
16:05on loan
16:06at Hamilton
16:07it's a bit lax
16:09new straps
16:11onto it
16:11Borjonas involved as well
16:23over there
16:23Richardson covering
16:24the Neirdrie fans
16:26in the far corner
16:27of the main stand
16:28over on the right
16:29of your picture
16:30we're hoping for a penalty
16:32there
16:32I actually think
16:35Borjonas pulls
16:37Jadon Richardson
16:38and that's what throws
16:39his arm up into the air
16:40that was my initial thought
16:41Richardson was using his body
16:43ushering the ball out of play
16:44I think Borjonas just
16:46give him a little tug
16:47whether Richardson was trying
16:49to
16:49you can just see it there
16:50look he gives him a tug
16:50I think he actually pulls
16:52him back into him
16:53I don't think it's an elbow
16:55I don't think it's a throw
16:56you always talk about it
16:57being a weapon
16:58yeah I think he's putting
17:02his arm out to try and
17:03feel for him
17:03Kevin Clancy's done right
17:05just leave it alone
17:06I don't think there's anything
17:07serious involved in that
17:09Strap took a chance
17:18there's a great ball out there
17:24by Stone
17:26Harry Stone
17:32in goal for Airdrie
17:34tonight
17:35was in goal
17:36for
17:37Aire United
17:38at this stage
17:39last season
17:40when they were beaten
17:40late on by Hibbs
17:41late
17:43Rocky Bashiri
17:44goal
17:45got past him
17:47look it was heading
17:49to extra time
17:49got a few good goalkeepers
17:54in the books
17:55at his parent club
17:56to be fair
17:56don't they
17:57yeah they certainly have
17:58I mean it's tough enough
17:59trying to pick out
18:01which one's the best
18:02but Derek McInnes
18:03spoilt for choice
18:03at Hearts
18:04no doubt about it
18:04which is the same
18:05probably in a lot of
18:05positions at Hearts
18:06at this moment in time
18:07they've got plenty
18:07competition for places
18:09I think now we're almost
18:11what 60 minutes into the
18:12game
18:13I think Airdrie will be
18:14pleased with how they've
18:14started the game
18:15Aaron Taylor Sinclair
18:16will have emphasised to the
18:18players
18:18let's not give anything
18:19away early
18:20so we're not a tough team
18:21to chase down
18:21so
18:22be tight
18:23be compact
18:24be hard to play against
18:25and I think that's what
18:25they've been so far
18:26had a brief spell
18:29as a player under
18:29Steven Robinson
18:30at Motherwell
18:31the Airdrie caretaker boss
18:36Rhys McCraib
18:39was
18:40removed from
18:43the position
18:44removed himself
18:45from the position
18:46earlier in the season
18:47Danny Lennon came in
18:48after a brief
18:49interim stint
18:50for Taylor Sinclair
18:50who's making the job
18:52his own now
18:52had those two
18:57caretaker stints
18:59he has impressed
19:02hence why he's got the
19:04job full time now
19:05I've got to say
19:08I was at Motherwell
19:09when Aaron Taylor
19:10Sinclair was there
19:11and I have to say
19:11he was the most unlikely
19:12person I thought would
19:13have ever been involved
19:14in football management
19:14so credit to him
19:16he's done a great job
19:16got a response from the
19:17players I think what
19:17five defeats in 18 games
19:19he's been in charge
19:19certainly this belt
19:21so
19:21real improvement
19:23in this team
19:24but he's so many
19:24good young players
19:25he got used to
19:41seeing the diamonds
19:42in the latter stages
19:44of this tournament
19:45in the early to mid
19:4690s
19:47those two
19:50final defeats
19:5192 and 95
19:53to Rangers and Celtic
19:54respectively
19:55big Andy Smith
19:57pulling one back
19:57against Rangers
19:58in that 92 final
19:59gave them hope
20:01they haven't been
20:08beyond this stage
20:09since 1996
20:1120 on the line
20:16for them tonight
20:17certainly been a few
20:19turbulent years
20:19here at Airdrie
20:20it's not always been
20:22playing sailing
20:23since those kind of
20:24times
20:24they've had to fight
20:25their way back
20:25they've had to battle
20:26their way back
20:26so it's nice to see
20:27them first of all
20:27in the championship
20:28but you said it
20:29competing in the
20:30Scottish Cup
20:30and I have to say
20:32that midfield
20:33diamond they have
20:34they're all four good
20:34footballers
20:35you think if they're
20:36going to get through
20:37in this round tonight
20:38they're going to have
20:38to be good in the ball
20:39dominate the ball
20:40they've started to do
20:40that the last five
20:42or six minutes
20:42which have given
20:43plenty of heart
20:43brilliant names
20:47of the past
20:47kid Lawrence
20:48Coyle
20:49Stewart
20:49Smith
20:50Sanderson
20:50Black
20:52Cooper
20:52McIntyre
20:53played in
20:55some of them
20:57played
20:58at least a
20:59part of
21:01those two finals
21:02in Alec
21:03McDonald
21:03Mandron
21:12and
21:13Devane
21:14and that is
21:15a special goal
21:16which breaks
21:19the deadlock
21:19pure
21:22class
21:22from Jacob
21:23Devane
21:24first same
21:25inning goal

21:26Man United
21:27kid
21:27well you said
21:33it's a special
21:33goal
21:33I think it's
21:34because he's
21:35a special
21:35talent
21:36to really
21:36mean that
21:37from the bottom
21:38of my heart
21:38because watching

21:39night
21:39watching him

21:40he's got
21:41everything
21:41in the game
21:42he's got
21:42that bite
21:42he's got
21:42the hunger
21:43he's got
21:43the willingness
21:43to get
21:44forward
21:44but let's
21:45look at
21:45the part
21:46played
21:46by
21:46Michael
21:47Mandron
21:47he's got
21:48a lovely
21:48little flick

22:06they turn
22:07the ball
22:07over
22:07and Erdy's
22:08half
22:08and then
22:09you look
22:09for the
22:09little bit
22:10of quality
22:10the little
22:11bit of
22:11class
22:11first of

27:47in
27:47front
27:47of
27:47them
27:47that's
27:49not
27:49a
27:50bad
27:50ball
27:50turned
27:54back
27:54by
27:55McMaster
27:55there's
27:56Mochrie
27:56he almost
27:58managed to
27:59work it
28:00back to
28:00Mochrie
28:01did
28:01Henderson
28:02it's
28:05the right
28:05idea
28:05it's
28:05better
28:05play
28:06it's
28:10because
28:10they don't
28:10have that
28:11secondary
28:12option
28:12where they
28:13can throw
28:13it
28:13forward
28:13and
28:14they
28:14can
28:14get
28:14someone
28:15to
28:15take
28:15it
28:15in
28:15there's
28:15there's
28:15no
28:15focal
28:16point
28:16no
28:16there's
28:16not
28:17they need
28:18like a
28:18Mikel
28:18Mandron
28:19stick his chest
28:20on it
28:20try and draw
28:21players to
28:21have midfield
28:22support
28:22every pass
28:23to play
28:24forward is
28:24either going to
28:24be long
28:25and behind
28:26or it's going to be
28:26the perfect pass
28:27in defeat
28:27but Samirn's shape is good
28:29the discipline of the players is good
28:31they're not allowing the balls in defeat
28:32and the covering of Richard King and Freckleton and Fraser is very good
28:35so anything over the top
28:37they're just happy to mop it up
28:38there's Telfer
28:43the strap
28:48who we're accustomed to watching during his time at Morton in particular
28:51Jonas
28:56flag there
29:05can't be waiting in the middle
29:08of course does eventually come
29:11and tried to
29:13his leg up as high as he could there
29:16not sure he could have thrown his head at it
29:18it was excellently defended by Saints
29:22I think it was Devane again actually
29:25wasn't it
29:25just gets his body
29:26in beside Chris Mockery
29:28reads it really well
29:29realises
29:31Mockery's not going to get it
29:32so what you do is just
29:33plug your body
29:34between him
29:35and the ball
29:36and just
29:36just
29:37harmlessly through
29:38space here for Declan John
29:52Freckleton
29:57just pinched away by Telfer
30:03the problem is they win the ball Airdrie
30:09the centre half's look up
30:11and the centre forwards are ten yards ahead of them
30:13so they've no real out ball at this moment in time
30:15Airdrie's last outing here at home
30:25in Frost County
30:26they've beaten 1-0
30:28Keenan Phillips goal a couple of weekends back
30:31the one frustration that once been a relatively positive run for Aaron Taylor-Sinclair
30:42was the fact that the two defeats they've had
30:45recently have been against their relegation rivals
30:47beaten 3-0 by Queen's Park as well
30:50yeah that's a disappointing thing isn't it
30:52no doubt about it
30:53there's another example
30:54just of Dylan McDonnell going down the outside
30:56trying to
30:56use the pace to get past Freckleton
30:59but too strong
31:00too powerful
31:01reading of the game
31:01very good
31:02right loads more to come
31:09off the ball in Sports Sound tomorrow
31:11from midday
31:12the cup continues on Sports Sound
31:14from two open all mics
31:16and a game fewer than we were hoping to bring you
31:19with that Aberdeen Motherwell game off
31:21similar story for the highlights programme tomorrow at 10.25 on BBC One
31:255th round weekend matches will be completed on Sunday including Stennis Muir Falkirk in the derby there
31:41BBC Scotland on Sunday evening
31:44quarter final draw live after that
31:48everyone loves a cup draw if you're still in it
31:53myself and Stephen were meant to be at Pataudry tomorrow night
31:59enough to keep our powder dry for that one
32:01it's going to be a busy spell for both Aberdeen and Motherwell in the coming weeks isn't it
32:09a couple of games called off
32:11got to fit them in
32:13that one rearranged for the 18th of this month
32:19Stephen Robinson and Brian Kerr
32:27will be delighted half an hour into the match to have that all-important lead
32:37well they've been relatively untroubled haven't they
32:40you know they've managed the game well
32:41I think that's the key point when you're the
32:43the premiership side
32:44you get yourself in front manage the game
32:46don't give anything away
32:47don't give Airdrie any hope
32:48don't give him any encouragement
32:49make sure you nullify them at every point possible
32:52that's what they've done so far
32:53there's no doubt they carry a threat
32:55set plays with big corner kicks
32:56free kicks long throws
32:57so Murray can get themselves forward
32:59just make sure you don't take any risks
33:01it's been quite fabulous
33:11a few years for Sydney
33:13and all culminating in that
33:15silver lining in December
33:18but consecutive top six finishes
33:20three seasons on the bounce
33:23European football returned to the club
33:25for the first time since 87
33:27and they are charging forward
33:29looking for a second here to Richardson
33:31he couldn't quite find Mandron
33:32and it's a really really important cut time
33:37by Craig Ross
33:37because Mandron's got to tap in otherwise
33:40I have to say
33:41Killian Phillips is the architect
33:42isn't he
33:42lovely turn in midfield
33:43way to pass
33:44Jadon Richardson always a willing runner
33:46just a final ball sometimes
33:48with Jadon Richardson
33:49but you're right
33:50Craig Ross reads the game well
33:51he has to get between
33:52the attacker
33:54and his goalkeeper
33:55and he does really well
33:56time is perfect
33:57you're right
33:57Mandron would have made it 2-0
33:59good block by Craig Ross
34:10former Stradar player
34:12he's well liked there
34:13having scored in both legs
34:14against East Kilbride
34:15in the Pyramid playoff final
34:17a couple of years ago
34:18and if there was a corner of the season
34:24award
34:25Jacob Devaney's not winning it
34:28with that one
34:29but I think he'll probably be forgiven
34:32but when you think of what St Mirren
34:35they've been good at
34:36in the last number of years
34:37and where they've had their success
34:38playing their football
34:40in the final third
34:41getting crosses into the box
34:42strong from set plays
34:43it's the one thing
34:44that's eluded them tonight
34:45whether it's from the corner kicks
34:47whether it's from open play
34:48they just haven't managed
34:49to get the weight of cross right
34:51or the choice of cross right
34:52or the execution
34:53Stephen Robinson
34:55prides himself
34:56and that being one of their strengths
34:57so he'll be disappointed in that aspect
34:59that was the one disappointment
35:05for the Samaritan fans
35:06when they went to Europe
35:06is that they went to Iceland
35:08and Norway
35:09two of the most expensive countries
35:11in the continent
35:13it's Henderson coming back
35:23from an offside position
35:24I think the Samaritan defenders
35:25thought that that was the case
35:27promising move this for Airdre
35:34they try and find an equaliser
35:36Kevin Clancy
35:37as a look at it
35:38no penalty
35:39no penalty
35:44and they are fuming
35:46it's a really good run by Bartionis
35:50first and foremost
35:51well it's not the football
35:53I've got to say
35:54that looks like a penalty kick
35:56and I know Bartionis is waiting
35:58for the defender to come
35:59and he's allowed to wait
36:01because the defender can't go through
36:02the attacker to get to the ball
36:04and he just hangs his body in there
36:06he's clumsily into the back of him
36:10I think of VIRs here
36:12there's a check on that
36:14oh now up the other end
36:15it's Mandron
36:16but he's screwed it wide
36:18well that would have been controversial
36:20it's him
36:20and gone straight up the pitch
36:22and scored a second
36:23after that penalty controversy
36:26as you can see
36:27and that is as you can see
36:31the change being made here
36:34unfortunately for Jake Young
36:40he's going to have to be replaced by Roland Adobu
36:43he'll just come back into the starting 11
36:47after his red card last week
36:48these starts for the club aren't going according to plan
36:52as he's subbed off
36:54just over 10 minutes to go until half time
36:57but
36:59it's not for me to say Stephen
37:02but some of these cup ties do at VAR
37:04and I know that
37:06you know
37:07there are matches
37:07if they're on the telly
37:08it's offered
37:09depending on whether the stadium's equipped to do so
37:14but as far as the rules are concerned
37:17and that's obviously for premiership clubs
37:20but obviously some are
37:22effectively officiated differently
37:24to others in the same competition
37:26I couldn't agree more
37:27it's either
37:28everybody has VAR
37:30or nobody has it
37:31yeah 100%
37:33because
37:33there's always going to be controversy
37:35there's always going to be what if moments
37:37this is every's best passage to play
37:39Jimmy Borjonas takes the ball back across Richard King
37:42he reaches his right leg out
37:43he may pull his upper body back
37:45but his right leg goes out
37:46and catches Borjonas
37:47that is a penalty kick
37:49in anybody's book
37:50Kevin Clancy
37:51he's going to come under
37:53a little bit of scrutiny
37:55shall we say
37:55the Airdrie fans
37:56are not going to forgive him
37:57but that
37:57should be the penalty kick
37:59for the home side
37:59yeah I mean it's a
38:05fact that if that challenge is made
38:08at Celtic Park
38:11tomorrow evening for example
38:12VAR looks at it
38:15gives a penalty
38:15what I would say
38:18is the referee's in a good position
38:19Liam it's not like he's
38:2015 yards behind play
38:22I think it's right in his eye line
38:24that he's put himself in a good position
38:27the referees are coached
38:28to get into better position
38:29to make
38:30the big calls
38:31I think he's missed that one
38:32well relief
38:34for St. Mirren
38:35a bit of a let off
38:39here's Gogic
38:42just about managed to get away
38:46from it
38:47Masters Challenge
38:47he just came through
38:50for a dough week
38:50well if St. Mirren
38:52needed a warning
38:52that was it Liam
38:53well you've got to be
38:54a bit sharper
38:54on certain things
38:55just because you're 1-0
38:57up don't coast through
38:58the game
38:58you've got to make sure
38:59you're efficient
38:59in every aspect
39:00there was a foul
39:03off the ball
39:04there after it had gone
39:05but I guess Airdrie
39:08have got to use that
39:09as motivation
39:10and also
39:10take confidence
39:12from the fact that
39:12as you say
39:13it was probably
39:14their best
39:15passing move of the match
39:16and has resulted
39:17in an opportunity
39:18and on goal
39:18I think first and foremost
39:20as an Airdrie play
39:21you've got to clear your head
39:22and stop thinking about it
39:22and go into the referee
39:23but you're right
39:24take encouragement from it
39:25how well they pass the ball
39:27how they cut through
39:27St. Mirren
39:28that's when they're at their best
39:29when the ball's on the ground
39:30and the players around the ball
39:31so they can link up
39:32don't isolate your centre forwards
39:34comes right through to
39:50Jamal George
39:52who's
39:52next to nothing to do
40:01which he's seen quite a lot
40:02of Jamie Barjonis
40:03over on that left side
40:04trying to make things happen
40:07yeah he's a lovely footballer
40:13Jamie Barjonis isn't he
40:15when you consider
40:16he played at Rangers
40:17they tipped him for big things
40:19for one reason or another
40:20didn't seem to
40:21pan out the way he wanted
40:23or they wanted
40:23he's dropped down
40:25to Kelty Hart
40:26he's played for Hamilton
40:27he still has that ability
40:28that vision
40:29and that awareness
40:30that you want
40:30as a good footballer
40:32that's a lovely
40:35little turn that
40:37as Stone makes his way
40:39out to Galler
40:40but
40:42Roland Adol
40:43he's given
40:43some of that outlet
40:44recently
40:45in recent weeks
40:46he's not guaranteed
40:47a start necessarily
40:48but he comes on
40:49to the
40:49top end of the pitch
40:51and
40:51does give them
40:52that bit of energy
40:53he's strapped
40:55and Mockrey
40:56the whistle wasn't
41:00coming there
41:01for the
41:02challenging
41:03Lewis Strap
41:04Airdeal play on here
41:05he's still down
41:10you can hear
41:10what the home plans
41:11are making of this
41:12right now
41:12I think it may have been
41:18Richard King
41:19Lewis Strap
41:20he moves the ball
41:21he's just too quick
41:22for Richard King
41:23I think King ends up
41:24just standing his ground
41:25yeah
41:28it's a clear obvious
41:32obstruction
41:32and free kick
41:33and possibly a yellow card
41:34but
41:34Kevin Clancy
41:35had a loud play
41:36to go on
41:37because Chris Mockrey
41:37had the ball
41:38he was thinking
41:39something might happen
41:40they may get an attempt
41:41and goal
41:41they may have a positive
41:42attack
41:43King's got his eyes
41:45in strapped the whole time
41:46he's just blocking his run
41:48that's all he's doing
41:48it's experienced play
41:52referees
41:53some of them
41:53would give the free kick
41:54immediately
41:55pull out the yellow card
41:56and deal with the situation
41:57it's been a good addition
42:01Richard King
42:01for Saints
42:03played at the Copa America
42:05with Jamaica
42:12with Jamaica
42:12played all three
42:14at the Gold Cup
42:15last summer as well
42:16before making the move
42:18to Paisley
42:19I've got to say
42:24there's a bit more urgency
42:25about Erdre
42:25in the last five or ten minutes
42:27sometimes
42:28when a decision
42:29a big decision
42:30goes against you
42:31you're right
42:32you're using it
42:32as motivation
42:33just to try and pick yourself up
42:34and push yourself on
42:36but if you think
42:36you get a goal before half time
42:37it'll do the world of good
42:39so they're in lead
42:46thanks to a cracking strike
42:47from Jacob Devaney
42:49it's making all the difference
42:55right now
42:56King
43:03close to Stone
43:07yeah it's a bit ambitious
43:09I think from Richard King
43:10it's far too deep
43:12for a cross
43:13it's going to cause
43:14any real threat
43:15to the Erdre back line
43:15maybe move the ball
43:16another pass
43:17even a secondary pass
43:18after that
43:19work the angle
43:19a little bit better
43:20it's a bit aimless
43:22just into the hands
43:22of Harry Stone
43:23it's just again
43:44a little bit of
43:45sloppiness
43:45Erdre
43:45in their own half
43:46that gives
43:48some iron
43:48that a little bit
43:49more encouragement
43:50they want to set traps
43:51they want to pounce
43:52on your own
43:53your own box
43:53so you've got to be
43:55bang on the money
43:55with every pass
43:56and every touch
43:57Freckleton
44:06John to Mandron
44:13worst ball in either
44:16Devaney
44:21Devaney
44:26Devaney
44:27back for
44:28Mikhail
44:28Mandron
44:29submitting
44:29the strike again
44:30before the
44:31half-time
44:31whistle
44:32Phillips
44:33lead by
44:35McDonald
44:36Mohri
44:38former
44:40Dundee
44:40United
44:40young star
44:41straight to
44:42Devaney
44:42they've got
44:47ball down
44:48again
44:48when they win
44:49the ball
44:50turns over
44:51too quickly
44:51they can't get
44:52their passes
44:52together
44:52because they're
44:54now around
44:54the ball
44:54it suits them
44:55this is a really
44:56important phase
44:57in the game
44:57for Erdre
44:58as well
44:58isn't it
44:58the world
45:00the difference
45:00between being
45:011-0 down
45:01at half-time
45:03and being a couple
45:04behind
45:05it's a double
45:07whammy for
45:07Miguel
45:08Freckleton
45:08he gives the
45:09ball away
45:09then
45:10because of
45:11his frustration
45:12he just bundles
45:13into the back
45:13Chris Mockery
45:14and relieves
45:14any kind of
45:15pressure
45:15but right
45:15it's a big
45:16two or three
45:16minutes for
45:17Erdre
45:17do not concede
45:18a second goal
45:18don't allow
45:19the game
45:19to get away
45:20from you
45:20worst case
45:21scenario
45:21you arrive
45:22at half-time
45:221-0 down
45:23you can
45:23reshape
45:24a couple
45:24of things
45:25and
45:25come out
45:26in the
45:26second half
45:26ready to go
45:27it's
45:32Perjonas
45:33he's done
45:35brilliantly
45:35there
45:36shot from
45:38distance
45:38which is
45:39blocked
45:40by
45:40King
45:40Cole
45:42McKinnon
45:43that one
46:05is a
46:05free
46:05kick
46:06the
46:10protests
46:11of
46:12Jaden
46:12Richardson
46:13who's
46:14looking for
46:15answers
46:15from
46:16Hugh
46:17Anderson
46:18the fourth
46:18official
46:19I think
46:20I think
46:20Aaron
46:21Taylor
46:21Sinclair
46:21actually
46:21tried
46:22to
46:22snatch
46:23the
46:23boy
46:23of
46:23his
46:23hands
46:24there
46:24was
46:24a reaction
46:24from
46:24Aaron
46:25Taylor
46:25I have never
46:26witnessed that before in my life so
46:27clearly there's an inner frustration
46:29from the Airdrie manager
46:31but he feels a little bit unjust
46:33a little bit hard done by
46:34quite a laid back character
46:36he is yeah genuinely I can't really ever remember hearing him speak until I heard him that interview with yourself
46:42probably worked with him for 18 months
46:44he's just a quiet unassuming guy and he's probably the same in management
46:48it's only because he had to speak to me
46:51fellow Aberdonian you see
47:01might have something to say
47:05to Kevin Clancy
47:06when the players leave the pitch
47:09the break
47:11I feel his team should have had a penalty
47:15as we go into
47:21the only minute
47:23of stoppage time at the end of the first half
47:26of the first
47:27of the fifth round ties
47:29he's just tidy isn't he
47:37Devaney you know just when you
47:38good to watch
47:39yeah he is
47:40and you know what you know about a good player
47:41the tempo he passes the ball with
47:43he doesn't just trickle it along the ground
47:45he fizzes it into people
47:47he gets it
47:48over the ground
47:49see that with Billy Gilmore
47:50if you watch Billy Gilmore play
47:52it's that kind of
47:53effervescent performance
47:55in the middle of the pitch
47:56the ball kind of sticks to him
47:59bring others into play
48:00Devaney's clearly got something
48:03like that about him
48:04Steven Robinson as animated as ever
48:09I don't know how he manages to do post-match
48:15interviews
48:15no
48:16I think he's wanting his players to get the ball forward a little bit quicker
48:18they're taking too many touches
48:20they're playing square balls
48:21and encouraging Erdry to come and press
48:22and they're giving the ball away needlessly
48:23that's what's frustrating
48:24half time
48:26a wonderful goal
48:28Jacob Devaney separates the teams
48:33he announced himself
48:35on the Scottish stage
48:37the other night against Hearts
48:39as Verjonis complains
48:41to Kevin Clancy
48:42that's long gone now
48:44his penalty appeal
48:45which fell on deaf ears
