00:28Satsang with Mooji
00:33Hello and welcome from Pataudry Stadium for what could well be an intense and dramatic Scottish Cup tie.
00:40This is the one remaining game in this season's fifth round.
00:44The side's going into it knowing that a victory will set up a quarterfinal against the Fernland Athletic at East
00:50End Park.
00:51The game should have taken place 11 days ago, but fell victim to the monsoon conditions which engulfed the North
00:58East at that time.
00:59Now, with the rearranged fixture, the sides are meeting for the second time in just a few days.
01:05Welsh fires it in. Eli Just! Brilliant finish from the Kiwi.
01:12It's Sam Nicholson. But that looks like it's gone in off Tom McIntyre. Mother will clinch all three points.
01:26That victory at the weekend means that Mother will have lost just once of the last 17 matches since the
01:33start of November.
01:35They've kept 12 clean sheets in their last 15.
01:38Aberdeen's form has been poor.
01:41Back-to-back defeats either side of three successive postponements.
01:44And they've now won just twice in their last seven outings.
01:50The Dons make four changes with Jensen, Morrison, Aremu and Olesanya out.
01:57Nicky Devlin and Jack Milner back in defence.
02:01Captain Graham Shinney in midfield.
02:03And Nicholas Milanovic out wide.
02:06There are six alterations for the visitors.
02:10Matty Connolly replaces Callum Warden goal.
02:13O'Donnell and Gordon return at the back.
02:15Paddinger in midfield.
02:18Björgolfson and Charles Cook supplement the attack.
02:21Which will, again, be led by 18-goal top scorer Tawanda Maswanese.
02:27The other one that's in the back.
02:29The other one that's in the back.
02:32The other one that's in the back.
02:37The other one that's in the back.
02:40The other one that's in the back.
02:42The other one that's in the back.
02:43Mother ball trying to play it out from the back.
02:45And Geiger could capitalize from there.
02:47Lyle Cameron goes tumbling down right on the edge of the box.
02:52Referee John Beaton immediately surrounded.
02:55And it is going to be a red card for the challenge.
03:01And that is the worst possible start for the visitors.
03:07Priestman making the challenge on Cameron on the edge of the box.
03:12Referee John Beaton took a few moments to gather his thoughts.
03:16But he's shown the red card.
03:27And can they capitalize on this?
03:30The long free kick and it's into the bottom corner from Kevin Nisbet.
03:36It is a hammer blow for Motherwell.
03:39Down to ten men.
03:41And now behind as Kevin Nisbet finds the bottom corner from 20.
03:50Three yards.
03:51It's Aberdeen one.
03:52Motherwell nail.
03:54An absolute dream start.
03:56Playing against ten men.
03:57Capitalized on it to get the early goal.
03:59Settles the nerves.
04:00And now they're playing against the ten men of Motherwell.
04:02For the majority of the game.
04:03We're not even three or four minutes into it.
04:05It could be an enjoyable night for Aberdeen.
04:12And now McIntyre forward, Aberdeen putting together a nice passing move here.
04:17Milanovic and Keskinen both in behind.
04:19Milanovic goes to the byline.
04:21He's covered eventually.
04:23But it will be an Aberdeen corner.
04:27Yeah, it's another dangerous ball in behind from Aberdeen.
04:30Important that they keep this pressure up.
04:32The ball just being blown off.
04:35It's area there.
04:36And eventually he rolls it low for Geiger.
04:39Back now to Cameron.
04:41Little chip into the box.
04:43And that one cleared only as far as Graham Shinney.
04:46Couldn't get enough on the shot.
04:50And Milanovic does well to wriggle away from a couple of Motherwell players.
05:00Now the chance for McIntyre.
05:03Nisbet again!
05:04That one straight down the throats of Matty Connolly.
05:09Again, good play with Milanovic.
05:11Gets the ball back in the box.
05:12Keeps the pressure on Aberdeen.
05:14And another shot on target.
05:16And another chance to keep that pressure up.
05:20And that's a good ball forward from Devlin.
05:22Milanovic coming in from the right-hand side.
05:25Now Cameron.
05:25He's got support in the shape of Keskinen.
05:30He stands up.
05:31The defender almost got away there.
05:34Good work by Masmanisi.
05:35Still Aberdeen habits.
05:36Cameron, Cameron with the shots.
05:38Oh, what a hat.
05:39And that was inches over the crossbar.
05:42It was a really good move.
05:43It's taken a deflection along the way.
05:45And Lyle Cameron so close to giving Aberdeen a two-goal advantage.
05:50Yeah, some great play from Aberdeen.
05:51Moving the ball from the right-hand side out to the left.
05:53Back across.
05:54And Cameron's been dangerous tonight.
05:55He's been involved with everything for Aberdeen.
05:57And he gets his shot away, as you say, deflected.
05:59But the keeper gets a great hand to it, putting it over the bar.
06:05Masmanisi.
06:07He loses out.
06:08And now Cameron.
06:09Lyle Cameron, 20 yards.
06:11But that one is fairly tame.
06:13It's straight at the goalkeeper.
06:14And it's a comfortable save for Connolly.
06:17Comfortable save.
06:18And he picks it up there again in that danger area.
06:19He's got three Aberdeen players running in behind.
06:21He's got options, but looks to the shot.
06:23And I don't think MD will blame him that far out.
06:37Oh, Faddinger is caught there by Dennis Geiger.
06:40And that will be another yellow card.
06:46For Aberdeen, the German.
06:49Just catching the midfielder as the ball bounced up there.
06:54Very competitive.
06:57The two players.
06:58But I think unquestionably Faddinger was caught.
07:03And that could have been pretty painful, Mark.
07:05Yeah, it looks as though, and it's very high up.
07:13And there will be an on-field review.
07:16John Beaton, it has been recommended go across to look at the screen, which he's doing right now.
07:23Yeah, it's very high and very late.
07:26And it's a very quick review.
07:28Well, normally, when it's as quick as that, you know there is only going to be one outcome.
07:33He has rescinded the yellow, and he's pulled out the red, and in his home debut for Aberdeen, the German,
07:40Dennis Geiger has also been red carded.
07:45Two sendings off in the opening 24 minutes.
07:49We're down to ten men apiece.
07:52And the more you see it, the more you can understand the decision by VAR and the referee.
07:58Yeah, it's very high, very late.
07:59And I think when you see it at match pace, it's reckless.
08:05Stephen O'Donnell now switching play to Sparrow, first time.
08:09Potentially, there was space there, he's cut in field.
08:13Regan Charles Cook to Just.
08:16Eli Just gets away from the charge, gets the shot.
08:19And although that has deflected well wide, it is a first effort of the game for the Visters.
08:25I think that just sums Motherwell up.
08:27They've went back to the goalkeeper, they've moved it about, they've played a few passes that you would maybe not
08:31be comfortable playing,
08:32but they get the shot away and it's deflected wide, but certainly there's a certain change in this game and
08:36the tempo in the face of the game.
08:38Maswanisi going now, he's delayed it just a little, and he's forced back there, and that was a wasted opportunity.
08:46There's a tangle of bodies there, and limbs, and a bit of afters as well, as Motherwell continue to attack
08:54Charles Cook.
08:56That cross has taken a deflection, it will be a corner for Motherwell.
09:01Oh, the far side of back, the goal kick has been given, which seems incredible, but there was.
09:07Well, there are still afters there, and there are still discussions going on.
09:11A real tangle of bodies as two Motherwell players and Toby Keskin and all went down.
09:18And then Shinney joined the party later as well.
09:21Well, you saw him there just about to give a wee shove to Stephen O'Donnell, but it's all just died
09:27down.
09:34It's Cameron who has profited there, out to Keskin, and the ball bounces up off his face, he goes to
09:39Bayerling, cuts it in.
09:41Nisbet with a turn, Nisbet with a shot, wonderful save by Matty Connolly, who was alert and threw out his
09:48left leg.
09:48And that has kept Motherwell in the tie on the stroke of half-time.
09:55Yeah, Motherwell just feeling the benefit of the force of Lyle Cameron again, who's been Aberdeen's most dangerous man at
10:02the heart of everything.
10:04Picks up, gets the ball wide, they fire it across, they get the benefit of the deflection, great feet from
10:08Nisbet and he gets his shot away.
10:09And it's a great foot from Connolly and goal from Motherwell to keep them very much in this tie.
10:23It's a miskick by McIntyre.
10:26Cameron can't get his head to it all, a little bit scrappy right now, but Graeme Shinney takes control of
10:31that.
10:31It's an excellent ball in, Nisbet's at the end of it, he can't quite get his shot away, the flag
10:37though, I think will now go up the assistant down this south stand side,
10:44just waiting to see the play finish, the flag went up, and it would not have counted, even if Kevin
10:50Nisbet had got that one on target.
10:55Steven O'Donnell picks up, and rolls it to Liam Gordon.
11:00The former St Johnstone man, getting caught out by Olusanya, then he pulls Olusanya down.
11:07I think there was enough cover there, it will be just a yellow car, but it's an ill-disciplined start
11:15at the second half for Motherwell as well.
11:19Well, it's not quite as potentially damaging as it was at the start of the first half, but Motherwell, they
11:25do invite danger at times,
11:29and that challenge has been rewarded with a yellow card.
11:34Chris Graham it is,
11:36who's on VAR Tutees,
11:38and he's going to have a look at the screen,
11:40so it's another on-field review
11:41that has been recommended,
11:45and John Beaton makes the walk across Liam Gordon now,
11:50just wondering what his fate holds.
11:54This is what he'll be looking at, Mark.
11:58Yeah, there's a lot of space there, I think when you see the covering defenders,
12:02the question is, are they quick enough to get back in,
12:04but Olusanya is quick and he is away.
12:08It's a tough one.
12:12Well, John Beaton still ponders the replays that they're showing.
12:17That one maybe doesn't look quite so clear cut,
12:20but the one looking down the pitch,
12:23it shows you just how much clear space there was for Olusanya.
12:28I think the issue you've got is Olusanya's in his stride
12:31as he starts to take off,
12:32and he just manages to catch his foot,
12:34which slows him down enough that the covering defenders
12:37maybe look like they're going to get across
12:39and stop the obvious goal-scoring opportunity.
12:42It feels almost as if John Beaton has asked
12:43for this particular replay to be shown to him again.
12:47Now, he is wandering across,
12:50he's making the screen sign,
12:52and this could spell really bad news for Liam Gordon.
12:58The red card is about to be brandished
13:01to the Motherwell defender.
13:04John Beaton took a long time,
13:06Liam Gordon races from the pitch.
13:09Motherwell are down to nine main.
13:13Motherwell coming down the left-hand side,
13:14long ball over the top for Björgolfsson to go for,
13:17Armerdeen had been appealing for offside,
13:20the flag stayed down,
13:22and the don'ts have to build once more from deep,
13:24that's slack,
13:25Pala versus Courdide,
13:27now the opportunity,
13:28good sliding challenge by Jack Milne,
13:31he has peered to get the ball,
13:33there's no great complaint from Eli Just,
13:37but Aberdeen very much
13:38almost the master of their own downfall.
13:45Motherwell take the corner out to Charles Cook,
13:48will it fall for the Motherwell man?
13:50and it does,
13:51but he curls that one high over the crossbar,
13:54he did score the winner here in the League Cup tie
13:57in the quarterfinals earlier in the season,
13:59but he was miles off target with that one.
14:02He does well to eventually get his touch out of his feet
14:05and gets a shot,
14:05but as you say,
14:06never troubling the goalie.
14:10McIntyre,
14:10Cameron to frame,
14:17that's a nice touch,
14:18comes infield,
14:19tees it up now for Shinny,
14:21Shinny on the left foot,
14:22and the captain smashes the ball low into the corner of the net,
14:28that might be enough for the home side,
14:32Shinny,
14:32unerring accuracy,
14:34finds the bottom corner,
14:36and it's happening to Motherwell nil.
14:40It's a great run from the left back,
14:41and Shinny just shifts it,
14:42opens the whole goal up,
14:43and fires a great shot
14:44across the keeper that he just can't get his hand to.
14:47A great finish from the captain.
14:55Now to Elliot Watt,
14:57looks up,
14:58he's got Langello
14:59coming on the left-hand side,
15:02lower shot there to the near post,
15:04and that had to be
15:05scrambled behind by Bratwight,
15:08a good positive introduction
15:10from the substitution there, Mark.
15:12Absolutely getting his shot away
15:13and forcing the keeper into a save down low
15:15to the right-hand side.
15:22Jack Milne goes for the long ball,
15:25looking for Nisbet,
15:26headed down by Watt.
15:28Pala Versa.
15:30Now frame.
15:33Pala Versa making space
15:34down the left-hand touchline,
15:35cuts in field,
15:36shows good footwork,
15:37tees it up now for Nisbet,
15:38the ball won't sit,
15:40Cameron guides it towards goal.
15:42It was a delightful idea,
15:44but he just couldn't quite get the power on it
15:46that would have troubled the keeper.
15:47No, absolutely not.
15:48It's a great play from Pala Versa
15:49down the left-hand side.
15:50Nisbet sets it up
15:51with just an awkward height for Cameron
15:53and he tries his side foot,
15:54bit of control,
15:55but just can't get the power in it.
15:56Still Aberdeen battling,
15:58but they can't find a way through,
15:59and that is a long ball
16:01for Maswanese
16:01to get on to,
16:03gets in behind McIntyre.
16:04He's run milled
16:05and he hits the post!
16:08And now the flag goes up
16:10to signal that Maswanese was offside.
16:19He's called offside.
16:22That's tight.
16:22Very tight.
16:24Very tight.
16:24He does everything right.
16:26I mean, he looks onside,
16:27he does well,
16:27he gets his body in front,
16:28he cuts across the defender
16:29and does everything apart
16:30put it in the back of the net
16:31and manages to find the post.
16:33Well, of course,
16:34that's why the flag stays down
16:35until the play finishes
16:36and had that ball landed up
16:38in the net,
16:39VR would have been a look
16:40and it would have been
16:41an interesting call.
16:43Slattery,
16:44why to Longolo?
16:47O'Donnell,
16:47tees it up now for Slattery.
16:50Back out to Longolo.
16:53And now,
16:54edge of the box,
16:54Slattery calls the shot
16:56and that was just
16:57inches wide
16:58from the Motherwell midfielder.
17:00It was good
17:01possession play
17:02and build-up play
17:03from the visitors
17:04and a very good effort
17:06indeed from Callum Slattery.
17:21Nicholson now for Motherwell
17:24and it is going to fall
17:25for Motherwell
17:27and Aberdeen looking up,
17:29there's a deflection
17:29there on the short
17:31and that was so
17:33unlucky
17:34for Sam Nicholson.
17:36His shot
17:37looked to be
17:38very much on target,
17:39he bundled through
17:40the middle there
17:41but it was a good effort,
17:43it was a very good
17:44piece of defending
17:44by Nicky Devlin
17:46who slid in
17:47to make the block
17:48and the ball
17:49bounced up
17:49into the hands
17:50into the hands of
17:50Bradfield.
17:57Nicky Devlin rampaging
17:59forward for Aberdeen,
18:01Devlin through the heart
18:01of the pitch,
18:02he's got support,
18:03feeds it to
18:04Olesanya,
18:05takes it wide
18:05and the shot is saved
18:07by Matty Connolly.
18:09That would have
18:10absolutely killed
18:12Motherwell off.
18:13Can they find
18:14something in the
18:14dying embers of
18:15this one?
18:18Stephen O'Donnell
18:19a way to pick up
18:21for Motherwell
18:21coming across
18:22halfway,
18:23he's got Nicholson
18:24outside him,
18:25looks infield,
18:27now to Nicholson
18:29but that is it,
18:31referee John Beaton
18:32signals the end
18:35of what has been
18:36an incredible
18:39encounter
18:39between these
18:41two sides,
18:42Motherwell
18:42went into it
18:43as favourites
18:44but that
18:46took a hit
18:47in the very
18:48early exchanges
18:50when Oscar
18:51Priestman slipped
18:52was unlucky
18:53but was sent off
18:55for a foul
18:56on Lyle Cameron,
18:57Kevin Nisbet
18:58smashed home
18:59the free kick,
19:00Graeme Shinney
19:01was the man
19:02who rounded off
19:03the victory
19:04with an excellent
19:05left foot shot
19:06into the bottom
19:07corner.
19:08It brings an end
19:09to what has been
19:10a wonderful spell,
19:11a wonderful run
19:12for Motherwell
19:13and they are out
19:14for Aberdeen,
19:16it was a much needed
19:18shot in the arm,
19:19a big win
19:20against a team
19:21that has been flying
19:22for much of the season
19:23and Aberdeen
19:24can look forward
19:25to a date
19:26in the quarterfinals
19:27against Unfermland Athletic
19:29the full-time
19:30at Petaudry Stadium
19:32Aberdeen
19:33two,
19:34Motherwell nil.
19:35Delighted to get through
19:37but we need to be better
19:38I thought we
19:40looked nervous
19:41at times
19:41maybe that's where
19:42we are at the season
19:42right now
19:44but looking back
19:45on Sunday
19:46I thought we did
19:46really well
19:47away to Motherwell
19:49had a lot more
19:50possession
19:50lots of chances
19:51and got nothing
19:52at the game
19:54and then tonight
19:55we weren't our best
19:56but we got through
19:56so that's football.
19:57The red cards I guess
19:59were the story
20:00of the game
20:00let me start
20:01with the Aberdeen one
20:02your views on it?
20:04I can't remember it back
20:06but I just remember
20:07turning to Doc
20:08and saying
20:08listen we need to
20:09punish him here
20:09on the free kick
20:10and Nizzi did
20:12I think all
20:13Asanya was through
20:14I don't think
20:15anybody's catching him
20:16and Nizzi is a little
20:18bit high
20:18watching it
20:19live
20:20but again
20:21that comes from
20:21us being sloppy
20:22not controlling the game
20:24taking that man advantage
20:26making that second
20:27ball game at times
20:28and not working hard
20:29enough to get on the ball.
20:30It was a curious game
20:31wasn't it
20:32because for the periods
20:33where it looked like
20:34everything was going
20:35your way
20:36it was Motherwell
20:37that really stepped
20:39into the game.
20:40Yeah I think
20:41as I said
20:41is that where we are
20:42right now
20:43in confidence
20:44obviously
20:44it's been an up and down
20:46season
20:47to go a 2-0 lead
20:48and then kind of
20:49sit off
20:50and not
20:52control the game
20:53control the ball
20:54it was a wee bit
20:54disappointed in that
20:55but at the end of the day
20:56it's a cup football
20:57when we're in the next round.
20:58We did a chat
20:59before the game
21:00and we want to get
21:01to the final again
21:01we want to win the trophy
21:03and I thought
21:04Shinny
21:04was growing tonight
21:05he really drove us on.
21:07I think the players
21:08gave everything out there
21:10with some difficult
21:11circumstances
21:12first of all
21:13the first red card
21:14then we have to
21:15readjust and reorganize
21:17a little bit
21:17I think we did that well
21:20then obviously
21:21they get a man sent off
21:22and then momentum
21:24changes even
21:25even more
21:26and we made a few
21:27adjustments at half time
21:28and we were ready
21:29to really punish them
21:31a little bit harder
21:31than we were able to
21:33the last 10 minutes
21:34of first half
21:35and then obviously
21:36we get
21:37we get Gordo
21:38sent off
21:38in a decision
21:40that is
21:41a mystery to me
21:43and will remain
21:43a mystery to me
21:44because there's two players
21:45covering
21:46behind him
21:47who will without a shadow
21:48of a doubt
21:49get in his way
21:50or at least
21:51make sure that it's
21:52never a clear and obvious
21:54goal chance
21:54that he's getting
21:58but it happened
21:59and then we have to
22:01deal with it
22:01and I'm extremely
22:02proud with
22:04how the players
22:05they kept
22:06sticking to what we do
22:07press them high
22:09try to play
22:11and get people
22:12up on the final third
22:13but obviously
22:14lacked a player
22:15or two in the box
22:16at times
22:17or a little bit
22:18of energy
22:20to push the ball
22:21over the line
22:23so Aberdeen
22:24threw after
22:24quite a night
22:25here at Betaudry Stadium
22:27the penultimate tie
22:28in the round
22:29was at Tanadice
22:3024 hours earlier
22:31where Dundee United
22:32took on
22:33League 2 side
22:34the Spartans
22:35commentary
22:36from Kyrdi Nidsan
22:43In the numbers game
22:44at Tanadice
22:45Spartans are
22:46three divisions
22:47below their hosts
22:48and perhaps
22:48fancied their chances
22:49of a giant
22:50killing a little more
22:51when United
22:52evened things up
22:53by going down
22:53to 10 men
22:54for most of the match
22:57Moldovan defender
22:58Yuri Yovu
22:59seemed surprised
23:00to see red
23:01for the foul
23:01on Kami Russell
23:02but much as he
23:04protested
23:04referee Grant Irvin
23:05wasn't for changing
23:06his mind
23:08perhaps a little more
23:09force in the body
23:10check than
23:11absolutely necessary
23:13a man down
23:14but soon to be
23:15a goal up
23:16simplicity itself
23:17from a corner kick
23:18Ross Graham
23:19with the header
23:20Dundee United
23:21with the lead
23:23relief
23:24around Tanadice
23:28three goals
23:29in as many games
23:30for the big defender
23:31and United
23:32in control
23:32of the cup tie
23:361-0 of course
23:37a precarious lead
23:38in football
23:39United wanted
23:40some insurance
23:41and they thought
23:42they might have
23:42got some
23:43from Craig Sibbold
23:45he normally
23:46keeps him down
23:46from there
23:48and he knows it
23:53the question
23:54for Spartans
23:55could they make
23:56the United
23:57keeper
23:57Ashley Maynard
23:58Brewer
23:58get involved
23:59in the game
24:02Jordan Tapping
24:03thought he might
24:04couldn't quite
24:05get things right
24:09after the break
24:10Spartans
24:11confidence grew
24:12Ayrton Sonker
24:13perhaps feeling
24:14he should have
24:15brought them
24:15right back
24:16into contention
24:21still the visitors
24:22pressed
24:23with United
24:25looking a little
24:26nervy
24:27until
24:29Dolceic
24:30with a moment
24:31of quality
24:31sprang
24:32the Spartans
24:33defence
24:36Amar Fata's
24:37finish
24:38his first goal
24:39of 2026
24:41and United
24:42finally in a
24:43comfort zone
24:44in the cup
24:45tie
24:49you have to
24:50admire the pass
24:50from Dolceic
24:51the finish
24:53just as neat
24:54Spartans
24:55surely undone
24:56at this point
24:59still repressed
25:01causing United
25:02some problems
25:04and finally
25:05bringing Maynard
25:06Brewer
25:06into the match
25:08there was still
25:09some work
25:10for the home
25:10boss
25:11Jim Goodwin
25:11to do
25:12and of course
25:13for his players
25:18new signing
25:19Neil Ferruja
25:20was looking
25:21to impress
25:23Panuch
25:24Camara
25:24was looking
25:25to score
25:25in back
25:26to back
25:26rounds
25:26of the cup
25:27but just
25:28couldn't
25:28quite
25:28get his
25:29angles
25:29right
25:29United
25:30knew
25:30a third
25:31would
25:32finally
25:32kill off
25:33Spartans
25:33resistance
25:36and resist
25:37they did
25:38right until
25:39the end
25:43the
25:44league
25:44two
25:44side
25:44finally
25:45getting
25:45the
25:45reward
25:46with a
25:46big
25:46deflection
25:47for
25:47Mark
25:47Stowe
25:48a goal
25:48to celebrate
25:49in the
25:49Scottish
25:50Cup
25:50could
25:51they
25:51clawed
25:52under
25:52United
25:52back
25:58he won't
25:59mind
25:59how it
26:00went in
26:00the goalkeeper
26:01no chance
26:02with the
26:02deflection
26:03could
26:04Spartans
26:04find an
26:05equaliser
26:06they wondered
26:07whether they
26:08might have
26:08a penalty
26:10Stowe
26:10went down
26:11under the
26:12challenge
26:12from Cleo
26:13Harding
26:13nothing
26:14doing
26:14according
26:14to the
26:15referee
26:17while Spartans
26:18tried to
26:19take the
26:19game all
26:20the way
26:20United
26:21were on
26:22the hunt
26:22for a
26:23killer
26:23third
26:26Camara's
26:27late cameo
26:27was impressive
26:28Owen Sturton's
26:30finish
26:30not quite
26:31so much
26:35still
26:36Spartans
26:37pressed
26:41and
26:41United
26:41had to
26:42defend
26:42for their
26:43lives
26:43near the
26:43end
26:44but the
26:45goal
26:45just
26:45wouldn't
26:46come
26:46for the
26:46league
26:47two
26:47side
26:51still
26:51United
26:55pressed
26:56in the
26:57final
26:57minutes
26:57there was
26:59a further
26:59chance
26:59for
26:59Zach
27:00Sapsford
27:01but the
27:01scoring for
27:02the night
27:02had already
27:03been done
27:07the boys
27:08have given
27:08absolutely
27:09everything
27:09on the
27:10night
27:10and more
27:11importantly
27:11I think
27:12they showed
27:12their personality
27:13we tried to
27:14play a bit
27:14of football
27:14when we
27:15could
27:15we certainly
27:16dug in
27:16and we had
27:16to suffer
27:17at times
27:17as well
27:18but everybody
27:19gave everything
27:20they could
27:21for the
27:21club
27:21and I'm
27:22just super
27:22proud of
27:22them
27:22it wasn't
27:23a pretty
27:24game of
27:24football
27:25it was
27:25really
27:25difficult
27:26on the
27:26pitch
27:26the way
27:27it is
27:27I don't
27:28think it
27:28suited either
27:29team
27:29really
27:29but
27:30the reality
27:31is my
27:32players need
27:32to get
27:33used to
27:33it

27:34not going
