00:06There's changes for both teams here.
00:12And Malik Dykstiel, who scored the winning penalty in the last round, has come on.
00:21And as you can see there as well, Airdrie looking to their bench.
00:30And Scott Constable, who's part of the cooperation agreement with Dundee United, has come on.
00:40And I don't think Keonetete's come back out for extra time.
00:45Yeah, I think he's been taken off, I have to say.
00:48He was in possession of the ball, turned it over.
00:51Airdrie scored, turned it over again later in the half.
00:55So Steven Robertson clearly wasn't happy with his contribution in the game.
00:58And there's no point in allowing a player to stay on the pitch, or leaving a player on the pitch,
01:01if you don't think he's helping you out.
01:03So he's flicked the coin, he's rolled the dice, and he's decided to bring on Dykstiel.
01:07So Dean McMaster did succumb to the injury picked up towards the end of the 90 minutes.
01:20So he's been replaced by Scott Constable.
01:24And it is the Diamonds, you get the first period of extra time underway.
01:30It's been a frustrating night for the Premiership side, it's the Championship Strugglers.
01:37And Gogich apologising, just about everyone for that.
01:51I would imagine Aaron Taylor-Sinclair will have been encouraging his players,
01:55and patting them in the back and asking for the same again.
01:57Steven Robertson, I'd imagine it's a polar opposite.
01:59Haven't been good enough.
02:00We've got to snap out of whatever kind of zone they're in,
02:02because it's not been anywhere near good enough.
02:04I think if they just change to a back four,
02:07it looks like they may have gone to a back four with Marcus Fraser gone.
02:10There's a right back, and Conor McMenham's been really high on the right-hand side.
02:13We hardly ever cease it better to do that.
02:15No, we don't, but some things needs must.
02:18That's why Jack Steel is more of a natural winger,
02:21a natural wide player compared to a 10th.
02:23So it makes sense.
02:25Outside.
02:28Which will stop the door wound in his tracks.
02:39First thing these two have gone head-to-head since the League Cup groups
02:42in 2022.
02:44It was Erdry who won that one.
02:49Devaney and Dunn scoring the Erdry goals,
02:52when it is Greg Kilby sent off.
03:00And right now it's anyone's cup time.
03:02It would take a brave person to call it from here, wouldn't it?
03:07Certainly, you can see it going the whole way to penalty kicks.
03:10We've cursed it early on when we spoke about how competent these two sides are
03:15when it comes to penalty kicks, so.
03:18Boy, do they attest the nerve or will someone have a bit of quality or an individual error?
03:22It's not often you see memorable extra time periods.
03:32Very rarely.
03:34I just wonder how long extra time periods have got left in the game.
03:38It's from the Challenge Cup the other night, as I said.
03:40Here to go through penalties straight after 90 minutes.
03:44Here is Dyke Steel.
03:46Back to Gogic.
03:50John.
03:54Gogic.
03:55No way through.
04:01Freckleton.
04:03Again, too close to Stone, but he's got everyone unintentionally excited there.
04:13Just a moment of over-conference.
04:15It looks too easy for you.
04:16Concentration levels have to be at their optimum.
04:18No mistakes to give Submarine away into the lead.
04:22No way into the lead.
04:23No way into the lead.
04:34And Erdry Seid got through to the Scottish Cup Final four times.
04:37Winning it in 19-24, beating Hibbs 2-0 at Ibrox.
04:41Submarine three times with their hands on the trophy.
04:52They've got their hands on a corner here.
05:05John trying to keep that alive.
05:06It's another wasted corner kick.
05:10I was speaking to some of the staff from Submarine before,
05:12and they thought that was a real area for joy for them.
05:15It was set plays, corner kicks.
05:18It's been such a letdown.
05:19They've been so far off the pace on that front,
05:21never mind, throughout the game that it would be infuriating for the staff.
05:29They took advantage of one of those the other night, didn't they?
05:33Freckleton heading home that late corner.
05:36It's better from Mandron.
05:41Throw Wu out to John.
05:44Dykesteel ahead of him.
05:45Cut out by Devine.
05:53Challenge by Freckleton.
05:54Oh, Mandron took an eternity there.
06:04Sometimes he doesn't do things quickly enough.
06:07We saw that, remember the other night, against Hearts.
06:10Killian Phillips with the free kicks, follow him with the save.
06:13Mandron trying to take a touch on the six yard line when the goal was right in front of him.
06:17It's like sometimes he's in slow motion.
06:20It's just so much indecision though.
06:23A centre forward who's feeling good about his game.
06:25He spoke about Ewan Henderson, touch finish for his goal.
06:28The minute Mandron opens his body up and he gets a trance to shoot,
06:32he makes a wrong choice.
06:33He wants to pass the ball on and instinctive striker has to get a shot away.
06:36Henderson from Mockery, run back by Gogic.
06:42Now Dykesteel.
06:47So most of the ball since extra time started.
06:49He started, St. Merrin.
07:04Phillips.
07:05I think even that pass from Killian Phillips, it's a big floated pass.
07:15It's easy to defend.
07:16You've got to fire the ball in, get it across the ground or get it through the air.
07:20A little bit quicker.
07:22It shows the intent from St. Merrin as well, doesn't it?
07:33They have two fingers on the pitch now.
07:34Dykesteel, Conor McMenamin.
07:37Changes shape, changes style, doesn't matter, you've just got to find a way to win.
07:42Gonna get another corner here.
07:45Smash that straight into Lewis' strap.
07:47His body's taken a bit of a pound into it.
07:53He hit the block from Richard King in the first half.
07:56He hit the ball off the chest.
07:58And that occasion, there's been a couple other incidents where he hit the ball smashed at him.
08:02People bombing into him.
08:08I'm not sure he's an ex-Martin Plurial.
08:09A lot of sympathy from the fans at first.
08:11That's for sure.
08:12Yeah.
08:13That's true.
08:17We've set a piece of opportunity for Saints.
08:21Mandrons there.
08:23It's never threatening Stone's goal.
08:30It just gets too much on it.
08:31I think in that situation, it's going to be an incredible header to score from there.
08:34So all these probably looking to do is just glance it on.
08:37Just change the direction of the ball.
08:39Keep it alive in the six-yard box.
08:41You have players behind you who may be able to pounce on it.
08:43It's another wrong choice in what's been a challenging night for St-Marin.
08:48It's already gone beyond last season's goal tally.
09:01It's another one Io Mandron, 11 this season, and 8 last.
09:04Loose from Detlin John this day.
09:18With Morkery.
09:21maybe a chance here and marcus fraser had to nick it away from mcgratin
09:29as much as samirna pushing forward and they sense the opportunity to go and win the game
09:38they have to stay switched on defensively they've got to stay tuned on almost 3v1 there against
09:43marcus fraser that's a concentration thing a communication issue makes you're structurally
09:49you're set behind the ball
10:19is it lively since coming on
10:28gogich loses out
10:33well mckinnon couldn't quite free henderson again the quality of play from samirin is
10:43producing all kinds of groans and moans from the visiting fans
10:48mcmerriman kept pretty quiet that's no foul though says kevin clancy
11:03mckinnon might have had a case there
11:10it's henderson
11:12he's great clear again
11:14and he's gone down and that's going to be your lord as a free kick
11:17i think what the confusion bit is there the frustration from the samirin flans and bench
11:24he's allowed to have the shot
11:26the shot is blocked and then you say well
11:29they've had that advantage
11:30yeah you don't get two bites at it
11:32that's a free kick yes get the free kick
11:34but you can't allow the player to have the shot and then say well actually we're going to bring it back for the free kick
11:38it's been a little bit inconsistent tonight kevin clancy
11:42i think it's added to the anxiety of the players as well because
11:47there's parts of the game he could manage a little bit better
11:51this was up the other end
11:58i think i think he's done
12:04yeah he's done
12:06i think it's dykstein
12:12he tried to cross the ball with his left foot
12:14to be fair he made it look really awkward trying to kick the ball with his left foot
12:18and he's done himself some harm
12:19we can make another change sitman
12:28that's i just mentioned that dykesdale have been looking quite lively since coming on
12:33and it's going to be jomaro calvin
12:36he's going to replace him
12:40he seemed to
12:46singly wanted off
12:49quite early there
12:51and
12:51one will come on
12:55another jamaican in the submitting squads
12:58tomorrow calvin it's a warm welcome
13:01scored 14 goals last season in his homeland as he comes on another winger
13:09it's a light for light change essentially left-sided player
13:13it's two submitted subs that have come on and have both gone back off again
13:19and now that the dust has settled on that
13:28ewan henderson is eyeing up another free kick opportunity here
13:35a little bit further out than his last one
13:43but it's more
13:48incapable
13:49not on this occasion
13:55the divide
14:00will be flashing into life
14:02but there is a flag
14:03my first thought when ewan henderson was stepping up
14:08it's got to be
14:09inch perfect
14:11it's an ambitious effort
14:12from that kind of distance

15:06on sunday evening
15:07that's a 7.30 kickoff
15:08at local view
15:09heading towards the end of the first period of extra time here
15:20headed away by divine
15:29there's gogich
15:30it's good ball
15:31promising for sitting there in
15:33good defender again isn't it
15:35lewis strap
15:36i thought he was caught a little bit short
15:37with McMenamin in behind him but once again makes a sliding tackle
15:48he just can't call this right now I mean it looks you know looking at this from a from our
15:53perspective it looks like penalties it actually looks like a weary game now doesn't it both sides
16:00have exerted a lot of energy a lot of the players now in the pits probably will have played during
16:04the week it's now mind over body it's making sure the mind's right concentration levels make sure
16:13you're in the zone don't be lazy and sloppy and have a wrong passive choice individual error moment
16:20slackness don't encourage the opposition two minutes have been added on at the end of the
16:26first period killin phillips booked
16:34he was hoping it wasn't going to be a night like this this is the middle manager
16:53again it breaks down
17:01now these league cup heroes aren't getting much shrift from the Samaritan supporters right now
17:08no they're not but that's it's an emotional game and an emotional time that's you forget what's
17:14happened in the past because you're in the moment that's what you're thinking about
17:17there's been so many misplaced passes tonight from Samaritan I can't remember
17:20a game where it's been like this
17:27if you're one of the
17:30clubs outside the the big glasgow too generally hearts are pushing for the top flight title as well
17:35no mother well out of it either by the way yeah but generally for other clubs if you offered them
17:4110th place in the premiership before the season started but you'd win a trophy either of them you'd take it
17:50another pass declan john he'd want to be two or three minutes ago he under hit now he's over hit this
17:56one that can't be anything other than anxiety and a little bit of nerves a little bit of fear
18:02you're trying to force things that's because of the game they're in they know their favorites
18:06against an underdog and they can't get any rhythm or flow to their game
18:22well yet another period of extra time is passing by with absolutely nothing notable happening in it
18:28which as i mentioned earlier is generally the case in the weeks and months to come you'll probably
18:35remember nothing of those 17 minutes that have just elapsed here as we hurtle towards a penalty shootout
18:44at a pace still 15 minutes of football to be played though but it remains one apiece after
18:52a goal in each half of normal time that fabulous goal from divani giving samir in the lead and put them
19:00in the best possible position to get through to the quarterfinals the first time in a few seasons
19:08excellent goal from ewan henderson
19:13leveling the tie after really good work by barjonas and mckinnon in the build-up
19:18and steven robinson's got his work cut out here still being held by the championship side and
19:28i mean you wouldn't know if you just tuned in here and you didn't take any interest in scottish
19:32football you haven't watched these teams before you wouldn't know they were in different divisions
19:36and that's a major concern for steven robinson right now and it's a major plus for aaron taylor
19:41sinclair that's exactly what it is you're right though about the first period of extra time
19:46there hasn't really been an awful lot in the game but when you look at airdrie they're taking off
19:50charlie telfer jimmy barjonas dean mcmaster probably three players who've been regulars for them you're
19:55now dropping down to your substitutes your fringe players can they replace the quality that's been
20:00taken off they probably haven't at this moment in time and in samir in the same they've had to go to
20:04their bench two or three times some enforced some by choice for the manager
20:08it's not been good enough from samir they know that but do airdrie have the energy do they have
20:17the drive and the quality to get themselves a huge third goal in this game
20:22the samir probably just lacked a little bit of imagination a little bit of invention in the final
20:30third has been quite predictable at times which is a huge frustration for the manager
20:34well of the 16 teams that remain 12 of them have previously won the tournament
20:43the spartans kelti elgin and stennis muir haven't got their hands on it
20:47only really one surprise outcome in the fifth round last season when the rangers were beaten by queens park
21:00the result that all but ended philip clement's turn in charge and those two will meet again on sunday
21:07the second period of extra time here at the excelsior new broom field
21:21and st marina here to get it done before penalties and it comes as a chance it's wide
21:28oh it's a fabulous opportunity for calvin as well
21:32well it looked like it was just creeping in there well that's the ability once again of
21:38rolling the door chopping inside out with adam divine and you're wanting mandron in the box you're
21:45wanting calvin in the box he just gets as light as the touches he doesn't make a clean enough
21:49contact probably just helps the ball on its way but unfortunately just drifts past the post massive
21:55let off for airdrie is that going to be a sign of things to come has stephen robinson been harsh and
22:01stern with his players to try and spark them in the action he's actually playing with a front four
22:06there with calvin mandrony mcmenemann
22:15sometimes if things aren't going well on the pitch rather than waiting for the players
22:18to produce something you have to change it you have to put the energy and the positivity we're going
22:23with the front four that then suddenly sends a message to the players we're here to win we need
22:27to get this game done we need to be better get the ball forward
22:33the thing is in many ways the penalty shootout can be a toss of the coin i know that beaten managers
22:39after losing a shootout say penalties at a lottery but if they win the penalty shootout it's it's about
22:45having that nous from the penalty spot and there is no lottery if you win a penalty shootout but you're
22:51taking a chance there aren't you so if one of these teams can exert authority in the actual football
22:58that's left then there's every chance they can avoid that
23:05it's a bit holding your nerve it's about having the composure and the mindset
23:09and the focus for penalty kicks that's a skill in itself there's lots of skills in there
23:13meneman
23:20got to get you out to fraser
23:27doing enough defensively tonight airdrie
23:33we've got a free kick here as well which will stymie that same man in attack
23:37it's been untidy hasn't it at times throughout the game which has made it a good cup tie
23:47yeah he does it it's a right foot from declan john certainly very high
23:52cole mckinnon
23:54well actually chris mockery was stopped in the middle of the pitch
23:57it tells you when times are hard when alex gogich and marcus fraser are playing at one two
24:05in the right wing it tells you it's a desperate need for summer
24:11yeah that's quite the combo
24:16gogich forming back three it's the last season
24:20two people then calvin gets something on to it
24:43again it breaks down
24:49it's been better from samara though they're the team in the ascendancy
24:53certainly at the start of the second period of extra time they're the one trying to force the issue
24:57they don't want penalty kicks they don't want it to go to a little bit of luck a lottery a save a big
25:03moment they're going to try and win it outright and they're certainly moving in the right direction
25:13it's never a good time to lose a cup tie but this is one of these cup ties you just do not want to
25:19be on the receiving end and it's been a battle many since it's been a lot of attrition
25:28Liam donnelly is going to come on for killian phillips who
25:47succumbed a bit of cramp i think there
25:54last sub
25:58that's now more than half the team
26:01but clearly players have been coming on back off at six subs more than half the starting eleven effectively
26:18strap covering mcmenaman
26:29it's a better team in this second period of extra time
26:34just the ball in the first as well
26:39really peppering harry stone's goal
26:41you're going to have to do a lot of defending here
26:49freckleton
26:55fraser
26:58back across and a little bit too high for the door
27:01move
27:01it's not only his ball he's just on
27:06i just wondered did a door will get a little nudge at the back post as adam divine
27:11do you know what he does he just gives him a slight little nudge as he's about to take off
27:15and when he's in there just push it look there you go just pushes him slightly forward gets caught onto the ball
27:20so it's clever defending by adam divine you've got to be careful though when you put your hands
27:27on a second player in the box i think he just does enough to put him off and
27:30it's a missed opportunity for some men
27:43he's just come on was amongst the penalties against livingston in round four
28:00he's in a strong game tonight louis strap gotta say every tackle mandron
28:30i know you've said a couple of times that you know it's a hard one to call from just after
28:42half time in the extra time we're still in that moment there's nothing clear or nothing really
28:46shining through somewhere in a bit slightly better but i haven't really
28:52done enough in this to try and get that goal scoring opportunity
28:56goal scoring's been a problem for them all season
29:04just don't score enough goals i think that's been a factor when you look at all the sanya leaving
29:08last summer or just before the summer killing boyd months yeah peace taker marco harrow injured
29:14missing goals packets can get himself in the box so there's reasons for that but you're right they've
29:18been short the lowest scorers in the premiership 18 goals in their 24
29:24league matches this season that's why they won't be a top 16 this time around as i mentioned you'd probably
29:32swap top six for a cut give them that cup final day in the two days after that 100 supporters players
29:41volunteers the board and you know the board the committee
29:45days that will live with them for the rest of their lives
29:48you might enjoy finishing in the top six but you're not doing an open top bus parade for that
29:58fellow and donnelly this day
30:05all right we're now 150 minutes just over five minutes to go
30:10does someone have something a little bit different does either side deserve to win this game or does it
30:15deserve to go to penalty kicks and you tell me yeah i think it does i think both sides deserve an
30:20opportunity to go to penalty kicks i think it'd be really harsh on one of the sides to lose the game
30:25everybody's been good in spells they haven't been the best team throughout the game they've been the
30:28better team in various spells i've had some learn so it's certainly been a 50 50 game
30:33well that's a ball for the double who scores
30:42the goal that might just take samirin through to the quarters and they will not care
30:48a jaunt how they got there
30:50well he's the one that's probably came the closest for samirin all night long he's in a couple of shots
31:01he's in a couple of little coils at the edge of the box he's drawn saves from harry stone
31:07and just as you're edging towards 120 minutes and imagine the relief
31:13will be in the mind of steven robinson he knows there's still a few minutes to go but what a classy finish
31:18from rolling the door they don't deal with a long ball he just allows the ball to come down he doesn't
31:23snatch at him he doesn't try and force the issue he just bides his time adam divide just gets himself
31:29caught wrong side and once it goes beyond him it's all about technique it's all about catching the ball
31:34flush and that's exactly what he does right through the laces into the bottom corner it could be
31:40heartbreak for airdrie it could be ecstasy for samirin
31:47well they've been the team that looked like they wanted to win it in extra time
31:52maybe the two of them it's not done yet those declan john mops up with mockery and close attendance
31:58since they're so close to getting their name in the hat
32:11draw remember sunday night after steny folker
32:14live here on the bbc scotland channel
32:23loose strapped looking to conjure something up here
32:26they're gonna get a corner
32:37suddenly time the enemy as well as similar in for the audionians straps corners flicked away by freckleton
32:44what have they got left the diamonds
33:00here comes shemal jorge to hold on
33:05i mean they've at least they might not it might not have been pretty for super mirin but they've at
33:09least in extra time had that intent that perhaps either airdrie haven't got or they've just just
33:16run out of energy energy's gone yeah airdrie run out of energy but i said to you the positive subs of
33:22the manager changing their back four playing four up front really forcing the issue sending the message
33:28out we're going to be positive we're going to get after you airdrie brought on fresh players i think
33:32the manager deserves a lot of credit as well and the one thing you can't question about this summer
33:36inside if they want to win this game is the spirit the spirit and the character and the
33:41resilience have shown over the last three or four years together yes you can question their quality
33:45at times and their distribution the finer arts of the game but the spirit and heart lane they've got
33:50an abundance challenged by calvin suddenly the civilian supporters of their tails up little wonder
33:57he's shown good intentions coming on as well calvin he replaced dyke steel in this extra time period
34:06as you saw jake hasty coming on for airdrie for the very closing stages
34:14and as much as steven robson if they do go on and win the games you don't want to go too soon
34:17we're watching johnston against party visit last week you just never know but they've got the ball
34:23in the right part of the pitch no free kick coming for mandron
34:28who's your man of the match then steven yeah well i think when you go this deep into a game
34:33you're looking for someone to step up a little bit of quality a piece of magic
34:37and i think it's a wonderful strike to potentially win this game i'll go with
34:40my man of the match tonight will be roland adewu
34:48third goal of the season for adewu and it could be priceless
34:54similar and chase a cup double
34:59do you know what see after the high of tuesday night the big performance beating the league leaders
35:04getting pats in the back getting your nines out of ten in the paper this was always going to be a
35:08different and a challenging follow-up lane to try and go and replicate the intensity and every aspect
35:14about it so tonight was simply come get the job done get through to the next round in the cup
35:19that's it forget about nails it goes along with it
35:24you're not getting into a position where they can threaten another equalizer
35:34a chance to punt this up the pitch
35:38and it's going to be two minutes added on at the end here so airdrie i've got two minutes
35:43to try and salvage this so we're in two minutes away from the quarterfinals
35:53league cup winners be the first team through
35:58to the last eight
35:59just one round away from hampden again
36:08they swatted motherwell and selphic aside in the league cup
36:13airdrie still have life about them though and from strap away by mandron
36:18there's a dog who's divine with the challenge still he goes still alive at airdrie
36:27it just gets away from them
36:32who's submitting can absolutely finish it here here's roland adobu to seal their place in the quarters but
36:40stone keeps him out he keeps airdrie's hearts beating
36:46and only just he's got to lift it he travels the distance you can see his legs he's tying up
36:53he's desperate for the goal to come closer to him i think what he does there he's got to lift the ball
36:57just chipping over the goalkeeper he lays himself down expecting the ball to go low it's a brilliant
37:02he didn't see it by harry stone that could have been game set match
37:16well it's now or never for the urge audience freckleton does enough he's divine
37:22there's an offside there it's their time for airdrie to launch one long ball forward
37:38one last assault on the submitted box it's just laziness from calvinies offside ball comes forward
37:44you come from an offside position you're just encouraging the pressure and the ball into your box
37:48and he can't be playing in fatigue he's only come on 10 minutes ago
37:54i said now or never 30 seconds ago it is now or never for airdrie stone with it
38:02as they try and find their way to a penalty shootout it's not going to happen for them though
38:08because saint mirin are through
38:10my goodness they've had to work for it tonight against championship airdrie audience
38:20who for large spells gave as good as they got from their top flight opposition
38:27and it's roland adobu he's shaking his head but he's the hero he's the man of the match and he is the man
38:35he's taking simran into the last state of the scottish cup and after jacob divani and hewan henderson
38:44traded goals either side of half time in normal time it went to the extra half hour the most many extra
38:52time periods don't produce anything memorable it has done tonight in the end and in particular
39:00for roland adobu who is uh taking simran beyond round five it's a stage they've struggled in in the last few years
39:14but the league cup holders hopes of joining that exclusive cup double winning club
39:22are very much alive and their name will be in sunday evening's draw for the quarterfinals
39:34and that was a tough old night for them finished here at the excelsior airdrie onions one
39:42seven seven see better in tune
