00:25Putting the Be Me headlines of a weekend of unbelievable football.
00:29Celtic are now odds on with the bookies to win the title
00:32after another late winner this time at Kilmarnock.
00:36Cermitis hit the gold trail yet again in another big game
00:40as Rangers close the gap on Hearts.
00:42Motherwell Breeze passed manager-less Aberdeen.
00:45The Scottish Premiership over the weekend delivered 24 goals.
00:49It was blistering and dramatic to say at the very least.
00:53And we want you to give us your thoughts on it as well.
00:55We'll certainly get our teeth into it.
00:58And as ever on the programme, we always like to throw a wee quiz question into you
01:02just to see if you are up on your football knowledge.
01:06And this quiz is fairly straightforward.
01:09I was looking at a little meme that was fired out about FA Cup since 2000.
01:14How many British managers have won the FA Cup since the year 2000?
01:19Ruff, you want to have a go?
01:20Just at the number?
01:22Or how many?
01:23Yeah, that's where the question stays.
01:25I thought you wanted me to name them.
01:26Yeah, three.
01:30I'll go two.
01:32One.
01:33One.
01:34Okay, there you have it.
01:35So we'll give you the answer at the end.
01:37Thanks to Elite, Joinery and Fire Protection for the quiz sponsorship.
01:41We'll give you the answer at the end of the programme.
01:44So, the results, Dundee 2, Livingston 2, Falkirk 2, Dundee United 3, Hibs 2, St Mirren 0.
01:51And then on the Sunday, it was Comarnock 2, Celtic 3, Motherwell 2, Aberdeen 0.
01:55And the game of the weekend, undoubtedly, Rangers 4, Hearts 2.
02:00And what a game it was.
02:02If you were looking for drama in that one at Ibrox, it had it all.
02:05Yeah, absolutely.
02:07And obviously, Hearts started really brightly.
02:10Got an early present off the Rangers, the way they presented that first goal to them.
02:15And then obviously, Rangers kind of responded pretty sharply.
02:20But, you know, you have to give Hearts credit, you know, to go there and get another goal to outjump
02:26John Suter.
02:27You know, I think you'll be disappointed with that one.
02:29But you have to say, Braggers Head is tremendous to generate, you know, the power to beat Jack Butlan from
02:35there on the way back.
02:37And then obviously, they equalised.
02:39But then in the second half, Rangers went into their own.
02:41And I think they ran out worthy winners in the end.
02:43Yeah, were you impressed by them, Ruffy?
02:45Yeah, I was.
02:46Yeah, I thought it was great value for money, you know, for the neutral.
02:50You could see, you know, both teams going for it, which is great.
02:53You know, you don't want somebody going and sitting in and spoiling the game.
02:56Hearts came out and gave as good as they got.
02:58The goals were good as well.
03:00And I think the whole 90 minutes was just entertaining from start to finish.
03:04Yeah, I think it sends a clear signal when Danny Rule was talking after the match.
03:09You know, he was talking about it's nice that there are three teams in the running for the title.
03:13And they're right in the middle of it.
03:15Yeah, they are.
03:16At last I thought it was a must-win game.
03:17I said it in the show on Friday.
03:18I thought Rangers had to win the game.
03:20Just given the whole club confidence, given the fans confidence.
03:23You know, Ibrox sounded as if it was rocking for the first time in a wee while.
03:26And it was a massive game.
03:27It was a massive game for both clubs.
03:28But in terms of Rangers, they had to win it.
03:30They did win it.
03:32And I thought they deserved to win it.
03:33I thought Hearts probably started to brighter.
03:36I think if Hearts could have hung on to the lead a little bit longer.
03:39I think when you go on the Ibrox, you want to go 10, 15, 20 minutes with the lead.
03:43Fans started turning a wee bit.
03:44Rangers got the goal right away.
03:45Then the second goal, you know, Rangers hit back near enough right away as well.
03:49So they didn't keep the lead long enough for the fans to get frustrated.
03:51But I thought Rangers showed a lot of power in the second half.
03:55And overpowered Hearts at times as well.
03:57So they'll be disappointed.
03:59Hearts with the goal.
04:01I thought the goalkeeper, the one that goes on to the bar.
04:04I thought he could have tipped it over the bar.
04:05I think he missed the ball completely when he hit the bar, Ruffy.
04:07And then it came down and then Steinwinder won't sleep tonight.
04:11Yeah, well, I think...
04:13It's really bad.
04:15I've got to just intervene.
04:18I mean, it's such a thin...
04:21REM link to it.
04:24But Steinwinder sleeps tonight.
04:26I knew you wouldn't get it.
04:27No, I never heard that.
04:27Anything south of the Bachelors, you're gone.
04:29No, no.
04:30But he just thought he'd sneak it in there.
04:32No, I thought whoever the Rangers player was there put him under pressure, you know,
04:36to take a swipe at it.
04:37He's got to do better, Ruffy.
04:38He can't put the one under there.
04:40I mean, I thought the Rangers player put his foot in and sort of made it difficult for him.
04:44But no, you don't want him.
04:45You want to clear the line.
04:47There's a few episodes like that, a player's not clearing the lines.
04:50But certainly, no, I think, as you said there, you know, getting back in it and the fans
04:55are up for it, they could feel.
04:57And even when it was 3-2, you could feel the fans pushing Rangers forward and, you know,
05:03you knew there was another one coming.
05:04But fair do's to the big boy, isn't he?
05:06Well, let's be positive about him because the game itself and the programmes right across
05:12the board, I think from the written press to radio and broadcast, you always seek to
05:19try and offer a balance on it.
05:21So fair play to Cermiti.
05:23He gets three.
05:23In a big game again, he steps up to the plate, Alec.
05:26Yeah, and I think, I've been saying for weeks, and I've been saying it on this show, that
05:30see if you get in between the sticks, clearly you're going to have better opportunities to
05:34score goals.
05:34And I thought the one with the header as well was really bright as well.
05:38He was sharp.
05:39Again, hit the first post, scored well.
05:41And then his third one, you know, he just kind of puts his foot through it.
05:44So I think overall, it's encouraging from him because there was question marks, and I
05:48mean serious question marks on this guy.
05:51And it's interesting because the manager's come out and, you know, it's been harsh.
05:55If you're really trapping up with four goals before yesterday, Peter, at the start of February,
06:00regardless of what you're doing, you know, in your link play and your running channels
06:06and so forth, four goals is nowhere near enough.
06:08Yeah, the stats are the thing that kills you.
06:10Absolutely.
06:10And the thing is, if you want to be at Rangers or Celtic, you've got to be having to run
06:14about
06:14the 20-plus mark from any credibility.
06:18You know, the fact is he scored against Celtic too.
06:21Yesterday was a big match as well.
06:23So he's got the credentials to score in the big game.
06:25But see, the big games are great.
06:27But see, the bog standard, run-of-the-mill, bread-and-butter stuff, still go to score goals
06:32in the A games as well because they're just equally as important.
06:34And that's what gets you the 29 goals that gets, you know, teams into the mix and with
06:40a chance to win titles.
06:41Yeah, I totally agree with Ali.
06:42I think if you're a striker for Celtic or Rangers and you're playing 25-30 games a season,
06:46you've got to be hitting 20 goals because you're dominating a lot of the game.
06:49You're playing the game in the opposition's half most of the time as well.
06:52So I think it's consistency for Chermit.
06:54I watched him during the week against Mulder.
06:56I thought he was terrible.
06:57And then he looked electric yesterday.
06:58So it's just getting the consistency every week.
07:00You know, getting to a level and then keeping that level.
07:02You think Nadiri helped him yesterday?
07:04Yeah, I thought he was good.
07:04He was clever.
07:06He dropped him behind him at times.
07:07And I think it was for his first goal or his second goal where he slipped through.
07:11I think he slipped him in.
07:11He got a wee break of the ball.
07:12But then he takes it well because it's easy just to lash at that one.
07:15But he actually just picks his spot.
07:17Yeah, he picks his spot and beats the keeper at his near post.
07:19So I thought he showed great composure.
07:20Can you keep him as a foul there?
07:22I thought it was a good finish.
07:23I didn't beat, but I mean, I thought it was a good finish.
07:26Oh, he's not having it by the way.
07:30You always say a keeper should never get beat at his near post on this show.
07:33You always say that.
07:33No, if you're a goalkeeper, you don't.
07:36One of the things are you don't get beat at your near post, particularly when you're there.
07:39Right.
07:40So you're thinking he's anticipating going to court.
07:42No, I thought he's got to give the striker credit for having the ability to try and get it in
07:50there.
07:50Yeah.
07:50And he did it.
07:51So no, I wouldn't take it.
07:52I thought he took it really, really well.
07:55The strength of Celtic over the past years has been the bench.
07:58I was looking at Rangers' bench yesterday.
08:00It's impressive.
08:02It's really impressive.
08:03I've never seen a Rangers bench that strong for a long, long time.
08:07Yeah.
08:07So out with Jermiti's hat-trick, who impressed you and what do you think was a significant
08:12factor in them getting that way?
08:13I actually like the boy Romans.
08:14I like the way he goes about his business.
08:16He's very efficient, just because of a bit, you know, kind of marauding forward.
08:20But it was interesting because Rangers kind of played a little bit narrower with their
08:24two wider guys, which freed up the flanks.
08:26And I think they got a lot of joy, particularly in the first half, Sterling was getting down
08:29that side.
08:30Romans give and go.
08:31So I was impressed with the actual set-up, the way Rangers went, because it's interesting
08:35because you're always saying, well, how are they going to approach this?
08:38And they almost went like a 4-4-2 with Nadiri just coming off of Jermiti.
08:44I also thought Chigwani in the middle of the park was quite impressive as well.
08:48He looks as if he's a big driving force.
08:51Again, these guys are young players, so I think there's development to be had in them.
08:55Yeah.
08:55Overall, Hearts, I mean, some people are saying the new Hearts were going to bottle it and
09:01Derek McInnes, you know, wasn't going to get the result there.
09:05Hearts don't have the squad.
09:06Just a few of the things that everybody has to say on this.
09:11Hearts are still top of the league.
09:14What did they not do that you thought they should have done?
09:17I thought they didn't defend as well as they could.
09:20I thought in terms of the Rangers' goals, if you look at them, the first goals, I could
09:23play from Rommels.
09:24You know, he gets down the side and then puts a ball to the back post.
09:26You know, but then it's a scramble.
09:29I think the goalkeeper should do better.
09:30The first one, I think, should tip it over the bar.
09:32And then the second one, you could argue near post.
09:34But I just think Hearts defensively looked a wee bit all over the place.
09:37And Rangers opened them up, carved them open, particularly in the second half as
09:40well.
09:40I think the full-back going off so early was a bit of a...
09:44Yeah, I thought that ruined their flow.
09:46They had to change the system a wee bit as well.
09:47And he's been excellent for them.
09:48You can play full-back on in the middle of the part.
09:50So they obviously had a wee bit of a reshuffle.
09:53But I just thought that they had to hold on to the league longer, I think, as well, to
09:58get the Rangers supporters frustrated.
10:00But yeah, listen, they'll tick it off.
10:02It's a game they've lost.
10:03As Derek said, they've lost the battle.
10:06They've not lost the war.
10:06There's still plenty of games left.
10:07And Hearts have got a really, really good run of games coming.
10:10I think three of the next four are at Tynecastle.
10:12And then two away games are against the bottom three.
10:14So they're still banging it, yeah.
10:15You don't think they're out of it?
10:17No, I don't think they're out of it at all, Peter.
10:18But I think if you're looking at momentum, I think you're looking at Celtic and Rangers
10:21now.
10:22Yeah, I think Hearts are going to...
10:23I mean, some...
10:24They could potentially finish third.
10:26I'm speaking to a few jambos who actually think, you know, I mean, the bookies have got
10:29them now as third favourites because of the Rangers and Celtic closing in on them.
10:34But, you know, going up to the split, you mentioned the games here.
10:38They've got winnable games that suddenly they could still have their noses out in front.
10:42It's not a crisis at the minute, Peter, but if they don't beat Falkirk at the weekend
10:45at home, you think bubbles burst.
10:47If they go and beat Falkirk, then they're back in it, Peter.
10:49You know, and they get that confidence back.
10:50If they don't beat Falkirk, you're thinking, this could be the start of them crumbling.
10:53But, there's still a long way to go.
10:56And listen, I wouldn't think we've got to speak about Motherwell's will.
10:58Rule Motherwell out there.
10:59If they win their game on hand, they're seven points behind Hearts as well.
11:02So, it's really, really exciting stuff and you can't really rule anyone out.
11:05Even Hibs are back in at 15 points behind.
11:07I know, I know.
11:08I'm not going to dismiss them because I've been absolutely singing their praises all
11:13season long because that's the way I like to see football played.
11:17They're not going to win it though, but if they did win it, it would just be absolutely
11:20mental, wouldn't it?
11:21You'd need three teams to have an absolute crash.
11:23Yeah, absolutely.
11:25But, the one thing they're doing is they're staying the pace.
11:29You know, they're not dropping away.
11:30They don't look as if their form's dipping.
11:33If anything, they're getting stronger.
11:34You know, as a group, they look as if they're as strong as they can possibly be.
11:37I like the sheet as well.
11:38They're defensively, they're rock solid.
11:40So, they've got good attributes with no shipping, too many goals.
11:44And then, obviously, at the top end, they've got goals across the board, really.
11:47Can you imagine they won it?
11:48Oh, man, it'd be the...
11:49Listen, we'd just build a statue of this game.
11:52We could all just retire.
11:54Yeah, exactly.
11:54It would be incredible.
11:55But see the fact that he's still maintaining.
11:57You know, and I wouldn't say that he's egging it up, I feel like.
12:02But he's just saying, listen, don't rule us out yet.
12:05You know, he's just kind of...
12:06I like the guy's confidence.
12:07I think it's breathing right through the team.
12:11And they're clearly kind of picking up results, Peter.
12:14You're not having it, Raffi, are you?
12:16No, I'm just trying to think off the top of my head.
12:19Have they went to Rangers and Celtic away from home and won games?
12:24The way Hearts have?
12:25They drew with Rangers, did they not?
12:27They drew three each with Hearts right at the beginning.
12:29Yeah.
12:29They lost the last minute to go to Celtic, I think.
12:32Three-two, was it, no?
12:33They beat Celtic 2-0 at home and played them off the park.
12:35Yeah, but they've not done what Hearts have done.
12:37And the Hearts have went to Rangers.
12:39What does that matter?
12:40Well, I think more and more now, I think it looks as if home games now are a given.
12:48It's Rangers, Celtic and Hearts, you've got to win your home games.
12:50We've saw now that away from home, the three of them are vulnerable.
12:54The three of them are vulnerable to drop points.
12:56So I think, I mean, I keep saying it when it comes to the split.
13:00But as soon as that, three home games and two away games are out there,
13:05there's going to be mayhem, unless it's done properly.
13:08You know, I know that you've got to play somebody so many times at home,
13:12so many times away.
13:13But if either, if Rangers or Celtic or Hearts get three games at home
13:17and the other two get two games away,
13:19I think that swings a great advantage to the teams.
13:22Because they're winning other home games.
13:24Motherwell's joint top in terms of points.
13:2631 points at home, Pierre.
13:27Yeah, well, they're away to Aberdeen.
13:30Yeah, so that's a guaranteed three points.
13:35St Mirnaway, Motherwell have got Dundee right at home,
13:38then they're away to Celtic,
13:39then they've got Hibs, Falkirk and then away to Hearts.
13:43It's a few tough ones in there, isn't it?
13:44Yeah, absolutely.
13:45See, the thing is, what are you going to?
13:48They would fancy their chances against the lottery.
13:50Anybody.
13:50Yeah.
13:50I think they'd fancy it against anybody.
13:52So, are you more confident that Rangers can now go on,
13:56on the evidence of what you're seeing now?
13:59Listen, see if you take the points since Danny Rowe came in.
14:02Yeah.
14:02I think he's accumulated more points than any manager through that period.
14:06And again, it's really who can hold their bottle going into this final for long, really.
14:11Because you've still got all these kind of, I think it's so evenly poised.
14:16I've said this for weeks, I feel as if teams can drop points and they're still not out it, you
14:21know.
14:22And then you've obviously got the split where you're going toe-to-toe with someone
14:24and then obviously they'll all be playing against each other but points will be dropped.
14:28So you can't see, I mean, in previous years, just out of curiosity, in the helicopter year,
14:34was there a run that you went on that just was win-win-win-win-win-win?
14:38Can you remember?
14:39No, I think it was towards the 10 games to go, we really kind of focused in.
14:45We got a psychologist in that year as well and we were just going game for game
14:50and then just trying to maintain in and then obviously the split happened
14:54and we were two points behind and we were playing Celtic at Parkhead
14:56and you're thinking to yourself, right, OK, if we won it psychologically, you can turn it round.
15:01But obviously that didn't happen but so it just shows you because each other are all going to do it.
15:06I think it's tighter now than it was in that season that we were playing, Peter.
15:12Yeah.
15:12Because I didn't even look at Motherwell.
15:14There wasn't somebody else in the mix that could do it.
15:16Yeah, and I don't think even if the fourth team, which will be Motherwell this year
15:20as it currently stands at the moment, I think the fourth place could beat the top three
15:24in any given day whereas I think back then I don't think that was possible.
15:28Can I ask you this and just picking up on your point there, what did the psychologist say
15:33and what was the reaction like among the players when the psychologist...
15:36Well, the thing is he did like group work and then he also did individual stuff
15:41and all that and how you saw yourself and role so it was a...
15:43Did you embrace it?
15:44No, when I was 29 I started doing psychology and I thought it was a really big part of the
15:48game, yeah.
15:49If you'd have got me before 29 I'd have told you it was a pile of old tosh.
15:54I'd have been sitting like, oh, psychology!
15:59So, and then I started embracing sports science and all that as well.
16:02Yeah.
16:02So the thing is if you can buy all that stuff and you buy in it, we've got a wee
16:05group
16:05at our place as well who are kind of buying into a lot of that stuff as well.
16:10So it can take you a long way and all you're looking for is just an added advantage.
16:14Just those margins?
16:15That's it, just an added advantage.
16:16And now in contrast, should I move on to the next game or then get Ruffy's thoughts on
16:21a psychologist?
16:22Is there any point?
16:23No, obviously if you've never done it before, there's a can of commenting on it.
16:26Yeah.
16:26You know, I've never ever been anywhere near...
16:29On a downer.
16:29...at a club, you know.
16:31I don't know.
16:33I don't know.
16:34On a downer.
16:35Oh, up is the boy.
16:37Ah, hey, Ruffy.
16:38Oh, I think...
16:38You ever felt low?
16:40Everybody's...
16:40Oh, I think every footballer has felt low.
16:42Yeah, you've never needed us.
16:43Fortunately, I've been able to get out of it myself.
16:47But no, I've never done it before, so it'd be very difficult for me to say no.
16:51Do you know when you talk about psychologists?
16:53When I was a Dundee manager, I had to meet a guy called John Bennett.
16:56And I said, who's John Bennett?
16:57And John Bennett was the Dundee United director.
17:00Oh, yes, that's right.
17:01And I had to go and meet him in a hotel, and he was kind of interviewing me.
17:05And I'm looking at this guy going, what's the relevance here?
17:08And I was chasing down the title on my second season for Hamilton.
17:11And then he says to me, what's your find me?
17:12And he says, yeah, we've got Dr. Cox from Stirling University.
17:17He went, what? Psychologist?
17:19Surely you're the psychologist?
17:20And I went, no, well, if it's good enough for Sir Alex, it's good enough for me.
17:24You know what I mean?
17:25Yeah.
17:25And he blows it.
17:26But, you know, I was like, trying to sell someone a psychologist that didn't think it was a thing.
17:32You know, it was like...
17:32We had a way back in the year dot, Jackie Husband, who was a previous Thistle player.
17:38And Jackie used to do a wee bit of physio stuff.
17:41And before the game, he was into, like, massaging you, you know, to relax.
17:46To relax, you see.
17:47You go into the physio room.
17:48And you're sitting and there's going to be massaging players, heads and all that.
17:52But next thing, you bet they would twinkle, hey, what's happened?
17:57What's happened?
18:00We've had his time.
18:02Well, I'll tell you one thing.
18:03I don't know.
18:04I don't think they need a psychologist at Celtic Park.
18:08They've got the master who somehow manages...
18:11Benointed, Marlon Hill.
18:12I mean, it's just, it's getting to the absolutely bonkers situation.
18:17Now, we will talk about Neil McCann's comments in a minute.
18:21Now, obviously, big game was Rangers Hearts, undoubtedly.
18:27But at Rugby Park, the game itself, I looked up at the clock.
18:33And I'm not in any way any kind of visionary or anything.
18:36I looked up at the clock and it was 82 minutes time.
18:40And I thought to myself, two players down who have been injured for a wee while.
18:45There's been a wee bit of time wasted.
18:47A wee bit of time wasted.
18:48There was a lot of subs.
18:49And I just looked at it and I thought to myself,
18:51OK, there's going to be seven minutes additional time here.
18:54So there's 15 minutes to go.
18:55And I can remember, I walked past an agent and I walked past Kenny Brannigan at half-time.
19:022-0.
19:02Celtic were rotten.
19:04And Neil McCann was 100% correct.
19:08Kelly played really good football.
19:10Got their just rewards.
19:11And I said, you know, if Celtic score early, they'll win this.
19:16Because that's the nature of where they're going at the moment.
19:19And Tam, and so it proved, I mean, Neil McCann was raging with the seven additional minutes.
19:26Did he have any cause?
19:27I don't think so, Peter, because, you know, I watched the game myself.
19:29There was two fairly serious face knocks.
19:32I mean, balls blasted at point-blank range off of two Kamalic players' faces.
19:35They were down for at least two minutes, I thought.
19:38Maybe two and a half minutes.
19:39And then I think there was four or five subs the second half as well.
19:42So, and another thing is, the other teams are allowed to score in the seven minutes as well.
19:45It's not just Celtic.
19:46You know, Kamalic had opportunities on the counter-attack to score as well.
19:50Yeah, and it was a game of basketball.
19:52Celtic were going for the winner.
19:54Kamalic were breaking up the pitch.
19:55So, listen, they just had to see it out.
19:57Kamalic defended the third goal particularly poorly.
19:59We were speaking about it earlier.
20:00He's got to, you know, he can't from a throw-in turn go to the byline and flash it across
20:05the goal.
20:05There's got to be some sort of block.
20:06There's got to be somebody in front of him to stop that.
20:09And Kamalic got what they deserved in the end for that poor defending and the throw-in.
20:13Just a throw-in, a long throw-in in the box, they can't defend that as well.
20:16So they defended those two goals really poorly, Kamalic.
20:18So for all, they were good going forward.
20:20I thought defensively, in those two situations, they were really, really poor.
20:25And Celtic just go to the end, Peter.
20:26We've seen it in the last three games.
20:27You never write Celtic off.
20:29You just think, there's still a minute left, they could score here.
20:31And that's how it proved.
20:32The funny thing was, Ruffy, when I was at the start of the game, when everybody's coming in,
20:38and I'm sitting there in the press box, you know, up-to-walked Pat Bonner.
20:45And I said to him, what do you make of Martin's return?
20:49You know, we're chatting away.
20:50And I said, you know, it's so strange, this side, Pat, because it reminds me of your centenary side.
20:56You know, the Celtic fans are going for a pie at 93 minutes, thinking, I'll come back in for the
21:00late winner.
21:03And that's the way it panned out.
21:07But I mean, at 2-0, the other thing which a lot of people are forgetting is, at 2-0,
21:14Comanek had the chance to go 3-0 in front.
21:16I mean, it was a straight header underneath the bar.
21:18If he heads it down, it's a goal.
21:19Yeah, I mean, that's what I've been saying all along.
21:22It's great to score goals late on like that.
21:24But for me, it might happen one, two, three, four times.
21:27It's not going to happen all the time.
21:29And the evidence is, over 90 minutes, they're not good enough to beat the two teams at the bottom of
21:34the league.
21:35You know, for me, that's what I'm looking at.
21:36I'm looking at, for 90 minutes, cannae beat Livingston, and they cannae beat Comanek.
21:40So there's something drastically along somewhere.
21:43Yeah.
21:44Martin O'Neill, to his credit, came into the press room and said,
21:48listen, we can't keep doing that.
21:50You cannot keep losing goals and then hoping that there's going to be...
21:55And as one of the Daily Record, I think it was the Daily Record Sunday Mail, Swanee,
22:00came up to me and he said, you know, Celtic are just a team of moments.
22:04And I thought it was an interesting point, Alec,
22:06because it's a moment that somebody has to produce something outrageous to get them back in the game.
22:14You know, rather than a team collective where you say, for example,
22:17you know, Brendan Rodgers' team would continually batter you, batter you, batter you, batter you,
22:21pass, pass, pass, pass.
22:22These are moments where Taneke has to come up with a 20-yard curler.
22:27No, but listen, the one thing about it is,
22:29Ruffy was talking about the bench for Rangers.
22:33Taneke, the goal he scored was absolutely tremendous,
22:35and they scored it early enough,
22:36so they were absolutely right because you could see the momentum shift.
22:39And it was a very untraditional Celtic goal with the long throw.
22:44Yeah.
22:44But once they get that, I just felt as if, you know,
22:47the way Celtic play, they continue to probe,
22:49they continue to do the runs in behind.
22:52And Chuan Chara,
22:54the actual skill that he produced for the goal was excellent.
22:58But on the flip side to that,
23:00if you're Neil McCann, you're doing your nutting.
23:02Because...
23:03What should they have done?
23:04Well, you have the midfielder in front,
23:06and then you have the centre-half directly behind him,
23:10and just smother him so that he doesn't have the time to get to the byline,
23:14doesn't have time to kind of receive it into his feet.
23:16But what happens is the centre-half backs off,
23:18and then he just pushes the midfielder out of the road,
23:22kind of rolls out to the byline and flashes up.
23:24But, and at that moment, you think to yourself,
23:26if you just do the basics, the basics,
23:29then they see it out, and then everybody goes,
23:31that's a great point for Kamarnock.
23:33So, regardless of the seven minutes,
23:35I think that would be a source of frustration for Neil.
23:38Because, again, if you recognise that and stop it at the source,
23:41Celtic don't get that opportunity.
23:43And even the long throw,
23:44and it was, I mean, there must have been about five Kamarnock defenders.
23:48No, there's five Kamarnock defenders in there.
23:50When the ball eventually drops,
23:51Nigel is two yards out, roughly.
23:53Yeah, he was fortunate to get a break-off
23:55from one of the Kamarnock defenders.
23:56You know, that you're just looking for somebody
23:59to put their foot through it,
24:00but none of the Kamarnock defenders could do that.
24:02And you have to say it was a very fortunate goal.
24:04You know, he didn't have to do much with it.
24:06It bounced, didn't he?
24:06I thought he'd changed his feet quite well.
24:08I thought he was going to hit it with his right,
24:09but he hit it with his left.
24:11So, no, I mean, that's what it is.
24:13I mean, as the guys are saying,
24:15when you're playing Celtic,
24:16and all of a sudden it's two each,
24:18the reason they're getting these goals
24:19are because the teams they're playing against are saying,
24:21well, two each will do is let's try and see this out.
24:24So they're getting deeper and deeper and deeper
24:26and Celtic are getting forward
24:27and getting more chances, more chances.
24:29That's why they're scoring so late on,
24:31because other teams are trying to save what they've got.
24:34I've seen a stat doing the rounds today.
24:3811 times Celtic have scored in the last five minutes
24:40in all competitions.
24:43And that's not doing,
24:43maybe we go, oh, you kind of keep doing that.
24:45But that's a trend.
24:46That's not just something that happens.
24:47Sometimes if you're scoring 11 out of 30-odd,
24:50whatever games it is.
24:51Yeah.
24:52So you look at that and you think to yourself,
24:54you know, that's some going.
24:55And especially when you're playing against,
24:57say you're playing Hibs or you're playing Hearts,
24:59they'll know that as well.
25:00The opposition will know that.
25:00They'll look at the clock and go,
25:01we've won the luck, we've had five minutes to go.
25:03This game's not done yet.
25:04And Celtic players will believe
25:06we'll get an equalised, we'll get a winner.
25:07Yeah.
25:07And I just think it's that momentum.
25:09You're saying they can't keep doing it.
25:10Well, they can.
25:12They can.
25:13Well, fundamentally,
25:16where is the San Andreas fault here?
25:20Where is the weak link
25:21that they keep making mistakes
25:22to keep going right?
25:23I think Celtic defensively
25:24have been really poor the last few games.
25:25I think the first half,
25:27the two centre-backs got bullied with Jules.
25:30Every cross that came out of the box,
25:31I thought, come on, let me score here.
25:33He scores a great goal, Jules.
25:35You know, cuts inside and puts it in the corner.
25:36But they were all in the place.
25:37Goalkeeper for me as well.
25:39Well, it's interesting because
25:40over the last couple of weeks,
25:42we've gone, he's pulled off
25:42a few really good point-blank saves.
25:45Yeah, I think I'm for the second.
25:46The second one is looped.
25:48And you can't, once you've dived,
25:50you can't move yourself.
25:51You're up in the air.
25:52You know, and it's going to,
25:54momentum isn't going to get you to the ball.
25:56It's not as if you're flinging off your feet.
25:58You're hanging up there.
25:59And it's, it was one of the ones,
26:03once you've turned, you're turned
26:04and you're not going to get it.
26:05Positives on both sides.
26:06He's, again, Tyrese John Jules.
26:10I'm worried for him.
26:11The way he pulled up.
26:12I looked as if he'd pulled his thigh.
26:15A hip flexor or something.
26:15Yeah, something.
26:16And I just hope for Commandant's sake,
26:18because he's been absolutely tremendous.
26:20Yeah.
26:20Eight goals in 18 or 19 games.
26:22Yeah.
26:23That's some gone.
26:23Yeah, absolutely.
26:24And it's not just that.
26:25I thought he led the line well.
26:27Excellent.
26:27I thought overall he was a real handful.
26:29The problem for him is,
26:31he's been injury prone.
26:33And when he started,
26:34I actually think he may have been in tears coming off.
26:38Because he put his top up to his eyes.
26:40He was really...
26:41Peter, as soon as I seen that,
26:43the way that he flicked his mid-drift forward,
26:45I thought he just,
26:46I thought he's the top end of it.
26:48He's either tore his thigh
26:50or something may have come off the tendon.
26:52I just hope it's not too long for him.
26:54Yeah.
26:55The one thing I would say about Commandant
26:57is that,
26:57and Neil McCann was right to point it out,
27:00there are moments in a game for long periods
27:02where they look a right good side.
27:04I mean,
27:04they played for the first maybe 20,
27:0625 minutes at Firth Park against Motherwell
27:08and they played some good football.
27:11He just needs that consistency.
27:13I don't think they'll be...
27:14I can't see them getting...
27:17I can see them getting away from it.
27:18I think he's given them a lift.
27:19I think that's what they needed.
27:20They needed a different voice.
27:22I don't know.
27:22But they look a better team now
27:24under Neil McCann and Dodgy.
27:25They definitely do, Peter.
27:26If they're in the play-off,
27:28Tam...
27:28And at 2-0,
27:30you'd have been...
27:31Stephen Robinson,
27:32Big Elvis,
27:32not to have been sitting going,
27:33let's get on here.
27:35If they're in the play-off,
27:36I'd bet them to stay.
27:37I think if...
27:39I would fancy the second-bottom team
27:42to beat the play-off team
27:42in the Championship
27:43just because
27:44I think it's stacked against the team.
27:46It's stacked against the team
27:47in the Championship
27:48unless you potentially...
27:49Come on, you.
27:50You're the old director there.
27:51Come on.
27:52I'm just giving him an opinion.
27:54Yeah.
27:55I mean,
27:55the great thing about it...
27:58Well, this is the joy of the game,
27:59by the way,
27:59because he's saying that.
28:01Your man here's...
28:01Your man here's sitting
28:03with his manager.
28:03The two of them
28:04have absolutely produced
28:06heroics
28:06for Partick Thistle.
28:08I think St. Johnston
28:09would probably be
28:09the best one in the play-off
28:10after Thistle win the league.
28:12Yeah, what do you make of that,
28:13Robbie?
28:14He dragged himself...
28:14That's a big little crotch.
28:16He dragged himself out there.
28:18Whee!
28:19Whee!
28:20Do you want an invite?
28:21We'll get you a couple of briefs.
28:24A meal as well.
28:25Oh, obviously.
28:27Well, you know,
28:28because you and Mark
28:29are undoubtedly sitting there
28:30saying to yourself,
28:31have you exceeded expectations?
28:33And with that,
28:35can you flip it on again
28:37after that by,
28:38once you answer that question,
28:39say to me,
28:39how difficult do you feel
28:41it is down there?
28:43If you have to play
28:44six games to get to...
28:45Well, I have to be honest
28:46with you,
28:47I haven't really experienced it,
28:48but listen to Mark last year,
28:49it's like,
28:50it's so...
28:51It's so kind of
28:53quick flip around
28:54and then you're asking
28:55players to go again.
28:56So, it is all geared
28:57towards
28:58the Premier League team.
28:59You know,
29:00they have to do
29:00all of the two games.
29:02They tell me that
29:03second place is obviously
29:04a Borussia as well
29:05because you don't have to play
29:06another round of games.
29:07So,
29:08I don't know.
29:08But it's interesting
29:09because the thing is,
29:10it's like,
29:11as I said,
29:12our game was cancelled
29:13the weekend
29:13and I was, what,
29:14flipping back and forth
29:15to the games
29:17St Mirren
29:18and just trying to keep
29:18my eye on
29:19as much football
29:20because you just never know
29:21where it's going to take you.
29:21Kenny says,
29:22this all can beat
29:23St Mirren.
29:24You know,
29:25lots of people
29:26on the feet.
29:27I mean,
29:27a good marker
29:28in the Scottish Cup,
29:28obviously,
29:29you're playing them
29:29just to see
29:30maybe meet them again
29:31in the playoffs.
29:33Yeah,
29:33yeah,
29:33absolutely.
29:34It's so tough,
29:35Ruffy,
29:35to pick somebody
29:36in the bottom end of it.
29:38Yeah,
29:38well,
29:38of the playoffs,
29:40it's only happened
29:40once,
29:41isn't it?
29:41Was it Hamilton
29:42beat Ibs?
29:43Ibs.
29:44I don't think
29:44coming for the fourth place,
29:46you know,
29:46but second place
29:47would be a lot more easier,
29:48you would think,
29:49you know,
29:49obviously,
29:49with the demand
29:50in the games
29:50and Alex Wright,
29:51they come fast and furious,
29:53it's two games in a week,
29:54two games in a week,
29:55so you've got to,
29:57depending on the pool
29:57of players that you've got
29:58and injuries,
29:59suspensions,
29:59all that comes into it.
30:01But I thought
30:02St Johnson sneaked
30:03a wee win
30:04the weekend there,
30:05gave them a wee bit
30:06of breathing space,
30:06but they've got
30:07a hard one,
30:09I think they're all
30:09hard games,
30:10but they've got
30:11a harder game
30:12this week
30:12than I think
30:13what yous have got,
30:14yous are at home
30:15against their day,
30:16I'm just looking
30:16at the fixture list.
30:17Yeah.
30:18So,
30:19I don't think
30:20that first place
30:21has done a dusset.
30:22Yeah.
30:23Listen,
30:23if we were talking
30:23about positives,
30:24I also like the boy
30:25Thompson
30:25left back for Kelly.
30:28Did you not think
30:28for the second one
30:31and he's trying
30:31to usher it out
30:32but it's not going out?
30:33And it's not going out,
30:33I know,
30:34I know,
30:34that was the one moment,
30:36Alex,
30:36I have to say,
30:37it was the one moment
30:37where I looked
30:38and I thought,
30:41he plays so well,
30:42he gets forward,
30:43he can get good balls
30:44into the box,
30:44that was the one moment
30:45where I thought to myself,
30:47the ball was never going out,
30:47I know,
30:48I know,
30:49I know,
30:50can you tell his face,
30:52he knew himself,
30:53he's like,
30:55I hear that,
30:55I like him as a player,
30:57listening to my ball
30:58like a boo-boo
30:59at one point or another
31:01and he knew it himself
31:02because he'd have,
31:03you know,
31:03that thousand yard stare
31:04as if to say,
31:05somebody's going to
31:05clobber me for not doing
31:07the right thing there.
31:09Celtic manager makes
31:11three changes at half-time
31:12that were so significant
31:14in the game,
31:15I mean,
31:15you can see the class actor
31:16is Alex Oxlade,
31:18Chamberlain,
31:19Chavanchara
31:19and Teneke
31:21and they make the difference,
31:23the problem I have
31:24with that change
31:25is the three players
31:26that come off
31:27and Hatati just looks
31:29a spent force.
31:30I don't know what's going on
31:30with him and Maida,
31:32they just don't let interest
31:33at Celtic anymore,
31:34particularly Hatati,
31:35I've watched him
31:36the last couple of games
31:36and he looks as if
31:38he'd rather be anywhere else
31:39bar Celtic,
31:39so that's a problem,
31:40especially when Engel's injured,
31:42you know,
31:42so you won't need to
31:43How long is he out for that?
31:44March, I think.
31:45March, end of March.
31:46I think he's going to be out
31:46for 46 weeks,
31:48so yeah,
31:49it's a problem
31:50because you're quite light
31:51in there now
31:51and you need a Hatati firing,
31:53Hatati's one of the best players
31:54in the league if he's firing
31:55but he hasn't been all season
31:56so it might be an opportunity
31:57for Oxlade-Chamberlain
31:58to come in and start
31:59starting games now.
31:59And last point,
32:02if you score a last-minute goal,
32:03are you jumping into
32:05the Celtic end?
32:07I think they're jumping in
32:08anywhere,
32:08particularly the last kick
32:09of the ball.
32:09I thought it was a great finish
32:10as well on his weaker foot
32:11and on that asfoturf,
32:12it's a great cutback
32:13but if you get that wrong
32:14at all, you sky that.
32:15I thought he finished
32:16it really well
32:17and then I think
32:18the emotion of that
32:19you're getting into the crowd
32:19and I've seen somebody
32:20try to take a selfie
32:21and all that and all that.
32:24Have you ever done that?
32:25You get a phone away.
32:25You get a phone away.
32:27Do you know the thing is
32:28I've managed to get
32:28a few goals in my career
32:30and I always used to,
32:31the one that used to
32:31always bug me
32:32and I mean really bug me.
32:33See people around
32:33and we can go
32:35kissing the jersey
32:35and obviously taking
32:37the top off
32:37and getting one aim
32:38I used to go,
32:38see if I ever did that,
32:40somebody just came up
32:40and punched me
32:41right in the dish
32:42and there was one time
32:42I scored a three.
32:46Three-nil down
32:46we were at half-time
32:47against Portsmouth.
32:49I was a relegation dogfight.
32:50For you for Wolves?
32:51For Wolves.
32:52Come back out
32:52in half the stadium
32:53would be a line
32:54for the boozers, right?
32:55And I scored
32:56one of the ones
32:57you get back across to them
32:58a bit like Braggers yesterday,
33:00boom,
33:00back at a big dolly
33:01behind the goalkeeper
33:03and I've just went like,
33:03that would a tap off.
33:08It was the first time
33:09I know the goal.
33:09You just punch yourself.
33:10Oh, what?
33:13See when I,
33:14honestly I go,
33:15what are you doing, man?
33:16And then I found myself
33:16getting it one of them.
33:17I know,
33:18I'm not having
33:18kissing the badge stuff.
33:19Oh no, no, no,
33:19I just,
33:20I use a load of crap
33:21then five minutes
33:21you're away at another club.
33:22I don't get it now.
33:23Yeah, absolutely.
33:25Anyway,
33:26from there,
33:27one other game
33:29that was on
33:29on the Sunday
33:30and it was three
33:31magic games
33:32and then of course
33:33fantastic goals
33:34scored again
33:35on the Saturday
33:36but Muddle
33:37to Aberdeen nil.
33:38Aberdeen managerless.
33:39I am highly critical
33:41of this whole charade
33:42that's going on
33:43at the moment.
33:44I just think
33:46Aberdeen
33:46should have ambitions
33:47to try and get
33:48in that top six.
33:49I think Muddle
33:49killed them off
33:50and again,
33:52Eli just...
33:53it looks as if
33:54they're just
33:54kind of writing
33:54off the season
33:55they're just thinking
33:55we'll look ahead
33:56to next season
33:57there's somebody
33:57obviously out there
33:58who's going to
33:58come in in the summer
33:59and they're just
34:00thinking we'll wait
34:00for him.
34:01I thought Aberdeen
34:02played well
34:02judging by the highlights
34:03I thought Nisbet
34:04looked lively
34:05but unlucky
34:06we won off the post.
34:07Aberdeen had opportunities
34:08in the game
34:08I thought they played
34:09pretty well
34:09but Motherwell
34:09just churned
34:11their out wins
34:11I don't think
34:12they were at their best
34:13but Eli just
34:14great finish
34:14great first touch
34:15actually a great ball
34:16through
34:17just battered into him
34:18right through the lines
34:19fired into him
34:20takes a touch
34:20and finishes it
34:21and then they get
34:21the one at the end
34:22when Aberdeen
34:22are pushing forward
34:23but just another
34:25routine win for Motherwell
34:26and as I said
34:27they're not a million miles
34:28off the top three
34:29or four now
34:29and they'll be looking
34:30to try and catch them
34:31but for Aberdeen
34:34they've got to play
34:35for the Scottish Cup
34:35now because I don't
34:36see them getting
34:36to the top six.
34:37Do you know the thing
34:38that they do really well
34:39Alec
34:40is they have
34:41breaking midfielders
34:43who actually
34:44time the run
34:45to run beyond
34:46a back line
34:47that's tight
34:47to get those
34:48little spaces
34:49and just has done that
34:50to great effect.
34:52One of the things
34:52is a little combination
34:53to Peter
34:54run about the balls
34:54you know the little
34:55give and goes
34:55I watched that
34:56again last week
34:57against Rangers
34:58the little give and go
34:58at the edge of the box
35:00and when you've got
35:00players that are
35:01cute enough to do that
35:03they cause opposition
35:04so much problems
35:05and it's midfielders
35:07who want to get goals
35:08as well
35:08which I like
35:09because the thing is
35:10it's another
35:10string to your bow
35:13I'm looking at
35:14Aberdeen at the
35:15moment
35:15and it's again
35:16and I don't know
35:18the circumstances
35:18but from the outside
35:20I'm looking at it
35:20and I'm thinking to
35:21myself
35:21see if I was an
35:22Aberdeen supporter
35:23I would feel as if
35:24I was being sold
35:25a little bit short
35:26partly because
35:28they've waited
35:29what was it
35:30the beginning of
35:30January
35:31he left
35:32wasn't it
35:33so you've
35:34pretty much
35:34it's about
35:3544-45 days
35:37and that's what
35:37I'm saying
35:37so the turn
35:38of the year
35:40but by the way
35:41it doesn't have
35:41to put pressure
35:41on a new guy
35:42coming in
35:42to hit the ground
35:44because they've
35:44waited this long
35:45for this guy
35:45to be appointed
35:46and they've got
35:47a big squad
35:48and I get that
35:49I look at some
35:49of the players
35:50and I've obviously
35:51brought Tommy Dock
35:52in to assist
35:53with Peter
35:54but it looks to me
35:55as if they're just
35:56seeing their way
35:58and stuttering
35:59towards the summer
35:59really
36:00and if they get
36:01knocked out of the
36:02cup
36:02and they come in
36:03Wednesday night
36:04I think
36:04is that what it is
36:05Aberdeen
36:06against Motherwolf
36:07if you get out of that
36:08then your season's done
36:09because the top six
36:10is not attainable
36:11for me
36:12no exactly
36:12another thing about it
36:13Ruffey is
36:14some fans are looking
36:14and saying
36:15I'm not going to
36:16bother going there
36:17that's the problem
36:18with it
36:18yeah and I think
36:20in all fairness
36:20of the other teams
36:21I think the Aberdeen
36:22away support
36:22has been very very good
36:23if that stops
36:24that's money
36:25you know
36:26other teams losing money
36:27their support
36:28no coming to away games
36:29and that'll happen
36:30if you're in Aberdeen
36:31you're going to go
36:31well nothing to play
36:33for why am I travelling
36:33away down to Glasgow
36:34where am I going there
36:36so it is a difficult one
36:37you know
36:38but I mean
36:38within light of
36:40the managers
36:41that I've had
36:41and it's no worth
36:42maybe this is the case
36:44we're going to wait
36:45because we think
36:45we've got the right man
36:46but as Alex says
36:47he's got to be the right man
36:48when he comes in
36:49Willie says
36:50when Motherwell are favourites
36:51the Bataudry
36:52it must be worrying
36:53as a Dons fan
36:54and I fancy
36:55Motherwell to knock them out
36:57yeah
36:57no other than a good thing
36:58see the thing is
36:59at the weekend
37:00they did create chances
37:00so you think to yourself
37:02listen
37:03get a decent crowd
37:03behind us
37:05and then just try
37:06and have a go
37:06and try and get through
37:07because
37:07what you're a couple of games
37:08away for a final
37:10yeah
37:10so you know
37:11it's no
37:12that's the way
37:13I'd be trying to say
37:13let's see if I was
37:14Tony and Peter up there
37:15I'd be trying to say
37:16listen
37:17let's double down
37:17on the Old Cup
37:19you know
37:19just put everything
37:20into that
37:20and then hopefully
37:21you can get through
37:22but
37:22if they'd go out
37:24it's the other side
37:24of the coin
37:25it's like
37:25you're just going
37:26through the motions
37:26to the final day
37:28the winners of this tie
37:28played in Ferman
37:29is that right?
37:30mhm
37:30away
37:30so
37:32not an opportunity
37:33for a Motherwell
37:33or Aberdeen
37:34to get
37:35disrespect to Ferman
37:36or Lenny
37:36but
37:36being a championship team
37:38to get a chance
37:38to go to a semi-final
37:39yeah
37:40ok
37:42give us your thoughts
37:43on it
37:43Aberdeen fans
37:44can you get the win
37:45on Wednesday
37:46is the season
37:47maybe a damp squib
37:48for you now
37:49do you think
37:50the Dons fans
37:50will start to drop off
37:52when it comes to
37:54the tail end of the season
37:55because
37:55we have been talking
37:57roughly continually
37:58about how top
37:59middle and bottom
38:00is alive
38:00I don't think
38:02middle is alive
38:04no no
38:04I think Falk
38:05have spoiled
38:06everybody else's chance
38:07with the form
38:08that they've had this year
38:09you know
38:10and a fair amount
38:12of points in the bag
38:13you know
38:13they'd have to
38:13go in a
38:14a very very bad run
38:15but their incentive
38:17is to get in that top six
38:18you want to be
38:19trying against
38:20Rangers Celtic Hearts
38:22and it'll be the same
38:22with the Motherwell players
38:23as well
38:24you get in the top six
38:25you're playing in big games
38:26big crowds
38:27you know
38:28that goes with it
38:29and that's what
38:30they'll be hoping for
38:30for an end of the season
38:31was it a wee surprise for you
38:32Ruffey Falk
38:33losing to Dundee United
38:35no
38:37now we've brought that
38:39subject up
38:39you know
38:41it's not fair
38:42this is fair
38:43that the two of you
38:43are pretty happy
38:47anybody who listened to the show
38:49on Friday
38:49there was people on there
38:51telling me to punch him
38:52and him
38:53you know
38:54because of the disdain
38:55of my predictions
38:56yeah
38:57scandalous
38:58yeah you're not
38:58but you got it right
38:59I have to be
39:01perfectly honest
39:02I think the sending off
39:03helped me a wee bit
39:04I thought Falk had decided
39:05to take something out the game
39:06but we'll probably talk about that
39:08well that's what we're on to now
39:10I'm just about to say to you
39:11the sending off for me
39:12I thought the pace
39:13the boy was at Waters
39:14wasn't it
39:14it was going through
39:15I think
39:16I don't think
39:17either of the two Falker boys
39:18on either side
39:19would have been
39:20got to him
39:21before he got the 18-yard
39:22before he got shot away anyway
39:23my god
39:24I thought it was harsh
39:26it's a long way
39:27I bet if he gets away from him
39:28and he's beelining
39:31I'm not sure he catches him
39:33VAR
39:33you got it right
39:34yeah
39:35I would suggest he did
39:37it's interesting
39:37because obviously
39:38the on-field referee
39:39gave a yellow on the day
39:41and then
39:41that's the idea of VAR
39:43and
39:44again
39:44you get a good
39:46look at it
39:47because
39:47if VAR's not there
39:50the old days
39:50you go
39:51oh he's got a long way to go
39:52but the pace of these guys
39:54are moving it as well
39:55down in England
39:56with the FA Cup
39:57with no VAR
39:57they're now
39:58very seriously
39:59saying to themselves
40:00listen
40:02should we be limiting
40:04there in the English Premier League
40:05and usually when you get
40:06the big leagues
40:07when you get the big five
40:08coming together
40:09they're saying
40:10there needs to be
40:11a full review
40:12in the summer
40:13maybe
40:14after the World Cup
40:15or whatever
40:16to review
40:17what we're using
40:19VAR for
40:20is that something
40:21you'd embrace?
40:23yeah
40:23listen
40:24the thing is
40:24there's times
40:25there's an example
40:26last week
40:27VAR intervened
40:28with the Man City
40:29everybody in the place
40:30would have been happy
40:31City got the goal
40:31but then they end up
40:33sending Sloboslai off
40:35come on
40:36do you know what I mean?
40:37yeah
40:37it's like
40:38I think common sense
40:40goes out the window
40:40in these situations
40:42listen
40:43I don't mind VAR
40:45I really don't
40:47and again
40:47sometimes VAR
40:48will get it wrong
40:49because again
40:50it's a subjective
40:51opinion
40:51from the VR official
40:53yeah
40:53and then so
40:54but
40:55I actually like the fact
40:57that it kind of gets
40:57quite a lot
40:58it gets the offsides
41:00goal line technology
41:01would help as well
41:02because we don't really
41:03have that up here Peter
41:04I'd like it to limit
41:05I'd like it to be
41:06limited in its use
41:08rather than
41:09a situation
41:10where I feel as if
41:10sometimes the referee
41:11is relying on
41:12somebody else
41:13to referee the game
41:13is that a fair comment?
41:15I think if there's no VAR
41:16it's a lot
41:17it's the referee's
41:18common sense
41:19but I think when it's VAR
41:20I think it's rule book stuff
41:22it's going to let the law
41:23right
41:23I don't really want to
41:24chop this goal off
41:25but
41:26it's going to let the law
41:27it's in that book there
41:28that I've got to chop it off
41:29yeah but
41:30managers are saying
41:30you're re-refereeing the game
41:32every minute of it
41:33it's constant
41:34it's like
41:34a referee wants to make it
41:35just leave it
41:37because he'll get it
41:37he'll pick it up
41:38do you know the bit
41:39that gets me Peter
41:39I don't think
41:40I think referees
41:42are waiting for it
41:42to get picked up
41:43actually than making
41:44the big calls
41:44yeah
41:45do you know
41:45because
41:46how many times you go
41:47oh there's a penalty
41:48I'm blown for a penalty
41:49and then
41:49and we're still not hearing
41:50what the VAR official
41:51is saying to the referee
41:52and by the way
41:54at that point
41:55he's saying
41:55I'm going to show you this
41:5732 times
41:58at different angles
41:59constantly
41:59I'm going to be in your ear
42:00telling you something
42:01and when he's saying
42:02it's very difficult to change it
42:03absolutely
42:04how many referees
42:05have got the back
42:06I've actually
42:07I've actually seen
42:08maybe a couple of referees
42:09in big games
42:10roughly I've turned around
42:11and said
42:11no no
42:11I'm standing by my decision
42:13not many of them
42:14it would be a lot easier
42:14for us to make that decision
42:16if we knew what the dialogue was
42:17that's what I'd like to hear
42:19they obviously know
42:20what they're saying to each other
42:21but it would be interesting
42:22for us to make our mind up
42:23there was a boy
42:25in English Premiership
42:26that was making his first appearance
42:27as a referee
42:29asked to go to the morning
42:30and stood by his guns
42:31yeah
42:31and fair play to him
42:32just out of curiosity
42:33Ruffey
42:34is the goalkeeper at fault
42:36Falkirk's goalkeeper
42:37Bain
42:38well obviously
42:39you have to be there
42:40the dialogue there
42:41you know
42:41if he shouted
42:42you know
42:43I'm coming for this
42:43then I would expect
42:44my second half
42:45to go out the road
42:46you know
42:46you don't expect
42:47your second half
42:48to try and head it
42:49out of your hands
42:49because
42:51when Bain came out
42:52it was an easy catch
42:53for him
42:53because he came out like that
42:54he never tried to catch it high
42:55so he knew
42:56he had shouted
42:57for the boy
42:58to go out the road
42:58so
42:59no I wouldn't blame him
43:00for that
43:00blame the centre half
43:01yeah
43:02yeah absolutely
43:02well I knew you that
43:03but the unusual thing
43:05to get you
43:05and again
43:06this is
43:06it opens up
43:07a can of worms
43:08it's very rare
43:09that I would ask you
43:10a question like that
43:10because you've got
43:11absolutely no knowledge
43:13of
43:13ever saying to a centre half
43:15I'm coming for this
43:16it's mine
43:17Ruffies
43:17would you shout Ruffies
43:18no
43:18no no no
43:19he never came for a corner
43:20never came for anything
43:22that wasn't a corner
43:23that was just up in the air
43:24nah but you would know
43:25you've never gone for anything
43:26that potentially could have
43:27got you hurt
43:28so Gordon McQueen
43:29would have headed
43:30yeah absolutely
43:31Gordon McQueen
43:32Gordon McQueen
43:33it was Gordon
43:33that said to me
43:34Dixie Dean scores
43:35six goals against you
43:36and Dixie Dean's
43:37what 5-9
43:39and scored from a corner
43:44so I don't know
43:45why I even
43:46no no
43:47no no
43:47I don't know
43:48if you've noticed
43:49now but
43:51modern day
43:52goalkeepers
43:53do not
43:54come and catch the ball
43:55they flap
43:56they flap
43:57yeah
43:57like the Hibs boy
43:58and him in particular
44:00I'm not having a go
44:01at foreign goalkeepers
44:02again but the majority
44:03of them
44:03just want to flap
44:05just want to punch
44:05they don't want to
44:07come out into a crowd
44:08I can't remember
44:09the last time
44:10a ball comes over
44:11and I've seen a goalkeeper
44:12coming out and going
44:13bump
44:13in amongst
44:14in amongst
44:15bodies
44:17doesnae happen
44:17so I was away
44:18ahead of my time
44:19yeah
44:22you mentioned it
44:23at the top though
44:24John McGlynn
44:25wasn't critical
44:26of his side
44:28but Dundee
44:29did need the win
44:31yeah they did
44:31because
44:32the commandant
44:33starting to pick up
44:34points Dundee
44:34on a run
44:35you know
44:35and
44:36there was a few teams
44:37just starting to
44:38drag them into it
44:38I think they were
44:39only four or five
44:40points off the
44:40second bottom
44:41so it was a big
44:41result for them
44:42just pushes them
44:43gives them a wee
44:44bit more breathing
44:44space
44:45and gets them
44:46up into seventh
44:46I don't think
44:47they'll get in the
44:47top six
44:47I think Dundee
44:48will probably
44:49just finish
44:50seventh or eighth
44:51out with that
44:52see how earlier
44:52on we were talking
44:53about Comarnock
44:54look good
44:54and they're on a wee
44:56look positive
44:57who's going to get
44:58drawn in then
45:00is he going to
45:00jump ahead
45:01well it's Dundee
45:02and St Mirren
45:02there's only three
45:03and four points
45:03Dundee and St Mirren
45:04yeah
45:04you know
45:04so they're
45:07they're there
45:07Livingston are gone
45:09yeah
45:09I just don't
45:10if Comarnock won one
45:12it's between three
45:13now
45:13yeah
45:13yeah
45:14absolutely
45:14four points
45:15separate Dundee
45:16after three
45:17and with that in mind
45:19Ruffey
45:19despite the fact
45:20that great credit
45:21to Livingston
45:24for battling back
45:26Dundee to Livingston
45:28to
45:28it's one of those
45:29ones where I think
45:30Stephen Presley
45:31you go 2-0 up
45:32you think to yourself
45:33great this is another
45:34this is a banker
45:34this is a home banker
45:35here
45:35I think we have
45:36four minutes
45:37and seven minutes
45:38you know
45:38in the first
45:40ten minutes of a game
45:41you go 2-0 up
45:42you're obviously saying
45:42well this is going to be
45:43one of the days
45:44we're going to stroll
45:44through this
45:45but no credit
45:46to Livingston
45:47okay the goalkeeper
45:48helped him with that one
45:49you know
45:50to get them back
45:51into the game
45:51but I thought
45:52Stephen Presley
45:53handled himself
45:54quite well
45:54after the game
45:55the goalkeeper
45:56said the howler
45:56Ruffey
45:57what's it all about
45:57passing the ball
45:58out from the back
45:59but that's what
46:00you're teaching
46:01the goalkeepers
46:01to do
46:02you're teaching
46:02them to take
46:03a wee touch
46:04and look up
46:04and find somebody
46:05and if there's movement
46:06they're going to get caught
46:07because they're not
46:08outfield players
46:09unless they're very
46:10very good at it
46:11I mean we saw
46:12Jack Buckland
46:12getting caught
46:13you're going to get caught
46:14if somebody puts you
46:15under pressure
46:16if you have it
46:17in your mindset
46:17my manager
46:18wants me to get the ball
46:19look up
46:19and find somebody
46:2025 yards away
46:21did you see the defenders
46:23you know that look
46:24as if to say
46:26yeah that's exactly
46:27what it is
46:27by the way
46:28I've had it off you
46:28I've had it off you
46:29that many times
46:31but it's
46:32it's one of those
46:33you know track runners
46:34no
46:34oh
46:35we've turned in
46:36his own box
46:37pocket picked
46:38bang
46:41he's picked many
46:42a pocket better
46:43than me by the way
46:43but on that point
46:45they just looked away
46:46and it's as if to say
46:47oh god you've sold
46:48the jerseys
46:48but we can't
46:49shout at you
46:49because if you don't
46:50know what you've
46:51done wrong
46:51the one thing
46:52I was thinking about
46:54and here's
46:55you'll be able to
46:56maybe give me
46:57your thoughts
46:57on this
46:58Tenetke come on
46:59made a difference
47:00for Celtic
47:01the boy
47:02it was almost
47:03a one man show
47:04from the boy
47:04Congreve
47:05I mean his left
47:06peg
47:06he was beating
47:08players for fun
47:09sometimes I think
47:10his final ball
47:11is suspect
47:12but boy
47:13he's got great skill
47:14yeah
47:15listen
47:15he's very assured
47:17and I think
47:18Dundee have recruited
47:19well and I think
47:19he comes under
47:20that bracket
47:21and I think
47:22he's got a goal
47:22in him as well
47:24and
47:25it's just
47:25I think
47:26they'd be a source
47:27of frustration
47:27Dundee looked as if
47:28they clawed away
47:29for this at one point
47:30didn't they
47:30yeah I thought so
47:31slowly slowly
47:31dragged back in
47:32so
47:33yeah but
47:35he's a decent enough
47:35player
47:36and I think
47:36when you've got
47:37the type of players
47:37I think they're
47:38match winners
47:38that can make
47:39the difference
47:39I was looking at
47:41the Livy centre forward
47:42the big robust boy
47:43Murehead
47:44so
47:45I think he's on
47:46seven goals now
47:47which he's
47:48I don't know about
47:48you know you're talking
47:48about a return
47:49at one point
47:50it looked as if
47:50he may well be
47:51going out on loan
47:52and then obviously
47:53he's the main man
47:54up front now
47:55for them
47:55he can hit a free kick
47:58he's very very good
47:59good
48:01technique
48:01in the team
48:03you know
48:03and he generally
48:04nine times out of
48:0520 hits the target
48:06yeah I was thinking
48:06of the players
48:07who are good to watch
48:09obviously that Eli
48:10just
48:10Congreve
48:11certainly catches my eye
48:13free of
48:15injury
48:15Nicky
48:16Cadden
48:18left peg
48:18he was brilliant
48:19Saturday Peter
48:19I watched the game
48:20he was
48:21probably one of the
48:22best games I've
48:23seen him for a while
48:23I think they've
48:24missed him
48:24he's been out injured
48:25I don't think
48:26there's a better
48:26crosser to the ball
48:27in Scotland
48:27I think he's the
48:28best crosser to the
48:29ball
48:29and he doesn't
48:30need to beat a man
48:31he just shifts it
48:32bang
48:32into the box
48:33great areas
48:34set up the second
48:35goal
48:37I thought Hibs were
48:38comfortable
48:38I really really worry
48:39if I'm a St Murm fan
48:40looking at that team
48:40at the minute
48:41I mean they're
48:41devoid of
48:42any sort of
48:43creativity in the
48:43final third
48:44I think they could
48:45have played all day
48:45in those squad
48:46Hibs were comfortable
48:47made a good save
48:48the keeper
48:48yeah he made a good
48:49save
48:51but Hibs
48:52strolled that game
48:52Peter
48:54I think if you're a
48:55St Murm supporter
48:57you're worrying
48:57where your next
48:58win's when he come
48:58from
48:58what about Hibs
49:00Owen Elding
49:00great little
49:01great finish
49:03great wee run
49:04great run
49:04and
49:06might be a wee bit
49:07of a change in the
49:07guard at Hibs
49:08you know
49:08you'd him and
49:10the boy from
49:11Tottenham Scarlett
49:12and Lone
49:13you'd Boyle on the
49:14bench
49:14Johan on the bench
49:14I don't think they'll
49:15be there next season
49:16at Hibs
49:16I think they'll
49:16both move on
49:17so I think the
49:18Hibs are now looking
49:18to go right
49:19ok we've got a
49:19couple of younger
49:20players in
49:20given that's his
49:21first start
49:22the boy Elding
49:22he scores
49:22he'll keep his
49:24plays for the
49:24next game
49:24Antti Sutton
49:25come on
49:26just looks like
49:27a big bat on
49:27him
49:27he's a cult
49:28hero already
49:28scored two
49:29goals in his
49:29two appearances
49:30at Easter Road
49:30so yeah I can
49:32just think you're
49:33starting to see
49:33maybe guys like
49:35Boyle and Johan
49:35maybe on their
49:36way out
49:36he's there the
49:37big guy
49:37ain't he
49:38big Croatian
49:39he's a big
49:41he's a
49:41Gogich
49:42there
49:44moments away from
49:45a yellow card
49:45and it's
49:46only in the
49:47tunnel
49:49you're doing
49:49particularly well
49:50to beat Simon
49:51Murray
49:51that's frightening
49:52when he scores
49:53I mean I don't
49:54know where he is
49:55or where he goes
49:55you like to see
49:56that when you
49:56score a goal
49:57it's the best
49:57thing in the
49:57world
49:57yeah absolutely
49:58I love that
49:59other than a
49:59Marco Negri
50:00he's never done
50:00anything
50:02and by the way
50:03Michael Taylor's
50:04just said that
50:04he says Simon
50:05Murray at the
50:05double he loves
50:06a goal celebration
50:07he does but
50:08I think he's a
50:10Dundee fan
50:11as a boy anyway
50:12I think he was a
50:13dark blue fan
50:14so it's even
50:15more special
50:16especially when
50:17you're getting
50:17goals at the
50:18tail end of
50:20the table
50:20and I'm looking
50:21right now and I
50:22can't call it
50:22I just think
50:23St Mirren
50:24you're right
50:24he's Simon
50:25Murray because
50:25he was up at
50:26Ross County
50:26and doing well
50:27for a couple
50:27of years
50:27and that was
50:28a really good
50:28signing
50:29because I
50:29think last
50:29year they
50:30got a
50:30barrel load
50:30as well
50:3016 he
50:31saved Dunja
50:31last season
50:32what happened
50:32to him at
50:32Hibs
50:34he was just
50:34rank rotten
50:35no I don't
50:36know right at
50:36Hibs
50:36what
50:36did so
50:37I don't
50:38know
50:38Hibs had
50:39better quality
50:40probably
50:42I didn't
50:43remember him
50:44doing it
50:44I didn't
50:45think he
50:45set the
50:46heather and
50:46fire at
50:46all
50:47it's not
50:48the great
50:48Derby
50:48I remember
50:48that one
50:49other than
50:51that
50:52so Falkert
50:53slight slip
50:54up
50:54Dundee
50:55Livingston
50:56gone
50:56Hibs
50:57against
50:57St Mirren
50:58got a
50:58good 2-0
50:59win
50:59and you're
51:00suddenly
51:01looking there
51:01and you're
51:01saying to
51:02yourself
51:02the bottom
51:03end
51:03is where
51:04it's
51:05getting
51:05if it's
51:06tight at
51:06the top
51:07it's
51:07certainly
51:07tight at
51:08the bottom
51:08as well
51:09because
51:09Livingston
51:09with 12
51:10Kilmarnock
51:11on 20
51:12St Mirren
51:12on 23
51:13and Dundee
51:14on 24
51:14and then
51:15you've got
51:15that 4-point
51:16gap where
51:17Dundee
51:17United
51:17and Aberdeen
51:18will probably
51:18think
51:19they might
51:20be safer
51:20as I say
51:21that magical
51:22number
51:22Alec
51:23is usually
51:2337 to
51:2440
51:25yeah
51:25I still
51:26think
51:26Dundee
51:27United
51:27and Aberdeen
51:28I don't
51:28see them
51:29getting dragged
51:29in
51:29Peter
51:29I think
51:30they've
51:30got enough
51:31all you're
51:31looking for
51:32is a couple
51:32of wins
51:32was it
51:336 wins
51:34would we say
51:34that Dundee
51:35United
51:35has got
51:3628 points
51:39yeah
51:39so what I'm
51:40saying is
51:40they draw
51:40quite a lot
51:41but they're
51:42still picking
51:42up points
51:43along the
51:43way
51:43so I
51:43don't see
51:44any of
51:44the two
51:44getting dragged
51:45into it
51:45Peter
51:45I think
51:468 points
51:47is a really
51:47nice cushion
51:49you know
51:50I think
51:50there would
51:50be a massive
51:51fall off
51:52lapse
51:52if that
51:53was the
51:54case
51:54and of
51:55the four
51:56that are
51:56down there
51:57we've
51:57already
51:58dispatched
51:58Livingstone
51:59so Dundee
51:59St Myrna
52:00and Kelly
52:00are you
52:01changing
52:02your mind
52:02are you
52:02twisting
52:03it
52:03here
52:03I think
52:04we'd all
52:04agree
52:05St Myrna
52:05is the
52:05one
52:05on free
52:06fall
52:06they need
52:07a spark
52:07somewhere
52:09Dundee
52:10although
52:10it would be
52:11disappointing
52:11the weekend
52:12they lost
52:12their two
52:13goals
52:13but it's
52:13another
52:14point
52:14you keep
52:15picking up
52:15points
52:16it takes
52:16a wee bit
52:17of pressure
52:18off you
52:18but
52:19certainly
52:20let's just
52:20hope St Myrna
52:21continue in that
52:22vein
52:23right up
52:23until the
52:24Cup game
52:25yeah
52:26yeah
52:27and I
52:28look at
52:28them
52:30and the
52:31performances
52:32you sometimes
52:33see them
52:33a couple of
52:33weeks ago
52:34against Celtic
52:35the Cup
52:36final
52:36and I look
52:37at the
52:37personnel
52:38they have
52:38and I
52:38think to
52:39myself
52:39I don't
52:40see a
52:40team
52:40that's
52:41kind of
52:41getting
52:41but they're
52:42clearly
52:42getting dragged
52:43into that
52:43kind of
52:44tricky
52:45place
52:46I've
52:47been
52:47around
52:47the
52:48grounds
52:49seeing
52:49the
52:50teams
52:50in the
52:51flesh
52:51from the
52:52press box
52:53and I
52:53look
52:53and I'm
52:53saying to
52:54myself
52:54I'm now
52:55getting worried
52:56for St Myrna
52:56because I
52:57see the
52:58spark that
52:59Neil McCann's
53:00talking about
53:00with Kelly
53:01I can see
53:01what Dundee
53:03have there
53:04and I
53:05think Dundee
53:06and I hope
53:07Tyrese John
53:08Jules doesn't
53:08have a long
53:09term injury
53:09but I see
53:11quality
53:12in both
53:13their sides
53:13and I'm
53:14wondering what's
53:16happening with
53:16St Myrna that
53:17they can get
53:17away from there
53:18yeah and you're
53:19right I just
53:19think I don't
53:20think Dundee
53:20have been any
53:21problem I'm
53:21really impressed
53:22with Dundee
53:22this season
53:23I don't
53:23think there'll
53:23be any
53:24issue and
53:24I think
53:25I'm not
53:25getting a
53:26lift for
53:26Dodsey
53:26and Neil
53:27McCann
53:27so St Myrna
53:28is the
53:28vulnerable
53:28for me
53:29for saying
53:29all that
53:30time there's
53:30only one
53:31point of
53:31difference
53:31you're
53:32saying
53:32Dundee
53:33did this
53:33but there's
53:34all a
53:34point
53:34there's
53:35not much
53:36in it

53:36going to be
53:36tight

57:33Aberdeen-Mullowell
57:34of course
57:34in the Scottish
57:36Cup
57:36the game that
57:37was postponed
57:38and then on to
57:39the weekend again
57:40if the bookies are
57:41saying that it's
57:42now Celtic
57:43favourites
57:43Rangers tucked in
57:44behind them in
57:45hearts
57:45going to finish
57:46third
57:46are you changing
57:47your mind
57:48after watching
57:48the weekend
57:49I wouldn't agree
57:50with the odds
57:50basis on
57:52as I said
57:53earlier on the
57:53show
57:54we can't beat
57:54these teams
57:55over 90 minutes
57:56so
57:58if you analyse
57:59that you know
58:00there's something
58:01going wrong
58:02who's winning
58:02at the moment
58:03I think Rangers
58:04momentum was
58:05with Rangers
58:05yeah
58:05Alec
58:06I couldn't
58:08call it Peter
58:08no no
58:09I just think
58:10Rangers have
58:11some tough ties
58:12as well
58:12over the next
58:13couple of weeks
58:13so they have
58:14to negotiate
58:16an old firm
58:17fixture as well
58:18and
58:18Jenk it's a
58:19helicopter moment
58:20I genuinely
58:21think this is
58:21going down to
58:22the wireless
58:22I really do
58:23last day
58:24but I'd like
58:25to see it again
58:26that would be
58:26just incredible
58:27for everyone
58:27involved
58:28still get your
58:28medal
58:28I don't know
58:29what it is
58:30but it'll be
58:30tucked away
58:31somewhere in the
58:31west wing
58:32yeah
58:32absolutely
58:33fantastic
58:34some caravan
58:35that by
58:35anyway
58:38Tammy
58:38are you changing
58:39your mind
58:40I've been pretty
58:41consistent for a
58:42wee while
58:42I just think
58:42Celtic will
58:43nick it
58:43I just think
58:44their experience
58:44and their
58:44running will
58:46win them
58:46if it goes
58:47down to the
58:47Europe thing
58:48this couple of
58:49weeks is going
58:50to be huge
58:50for them
58:51I don't think
58:51they'll be in
58:51Europe too
58:52long
58:54funnily enough
58:54somebody asked
58:55him that yesterday
58:55and he said
58:57realistically we
58:58should be going
58:58for a holiday
58:59but I'm selfish
59:00you might get a wee
59:02sniff at it
59:03but he says
59:03they're a Bundesliga
59:04side
59:04which was basically
59:05Martin saying
59:06we're coming out
59:06of that tournament
59:07and going for
59:08the last day
59:09as Alex says
59:10for a 98th
59:11minute winner
59:14I'm surprised
59:15can you imagine
59:18anyway
59:18give us
59:20only two subs
59:21that day
59:21probably about
59:21eight minutes
59:24and I'm leaving
59:25the last word
59:26belongs to
59:27Alec Ray

59:28enjoyed it
