00:00again someone's going to get space in the middle of the park and as we said with the with the
00:04width of this pitch can they use it yeah and get on the end of that i talked about dundee
00:13united
00:14and dundee goalkeepers i do smile there's been a few along the zwick uh back in 2015 pashima
00:22i couldn't have the best of starts in dundee well they had a couple of problems along the way shake
00:27back in january 15 when they lost 6-2 i don't think the name shank goes down too well
00:33in certain parts of the city you've i've heard of that that expression a who's who that's a who's not
00:40isn't it oh my boy samuels
00:48hamilton he's been a really good pickup from lincoln city experienced player 27 years old now
00:55that's gonna be they've been watching the curling they just let that sweep all the way through the
00:59zone and gone behind i love the first few minutes of derbies you get a sense of who's up for
01:07it
01:07who's ready for it who's trying to be calm that's absolutely true and you know the thing is with
01:12with the modern game this kind of expression about you know leave leave one on him you know that was
01:19that was what managers used to say back in my day you can't get away with that anymore so when
01:23people
01:23say i can't believe it was a derby they hardly made a tackle and all these kind of like throwaway
01:28remarks
01:28but you know players have have got to have concentration levels on from the start but you
01:33can't make a derby like a derby used to be you can't go around kicking people because they don't give
01:39you a free you know straightener as ron atkinson used to say back in the day you know a bad
01:44tackle is
01:44a bad one even if it's 30 seconds into a game but what we see is that that you know
01:49we get to see
01:49you know the good players and the talented players get to stay on the pitch for longer
01:53um and i'm just i'm really interested to see how this game pans out because i thought
01:58dundee schooled dundee united in the last derby and i think jim goodwin if he'll have been reviewing
02:04the video footage he'll have noticed that they gave dundee far too much respect i felt uh at tanner
02:11diet and i don't think he's going to want to see his team do that today
02:24simon murray gathers easily away
02:34last night goes past dander got a yovo inside on to ross graham we've got a ross graham at the
02:43back for dundee united and a luke graham at the back for dundee
02:49great chance to score at tanner dice denied by john mccranken last time out farisia gets his first touch
03:03through joe cottero
03:08simon murray will chase and that's why you see this increase the hungarian knocking that out of
03:15play yeah didn't seem to have an awful lot of confidence in knocking it back to his goalie
03:20i mean simon murray was a good five yards behind but one thing we do know about simon murray he
03:24loves
03:24chasing a lost cause he's chasing a lost cause he'll chase anything
03:32often thought of cyber money was a greyhound he'd catch the river
03:36he tied it out
03:44the crap to john mccranken
03:55it's pretty tight stevenson will climb close down dander
03:59well that is touch tight defending and your guns done well
04:05excellent play from your gap congreve it's been a real start this season
04:10wasn't a bad ball in either and graham gets it away cameron congreve has been terrific for dundee
04:16absolutely brilliant i think he's joint top assists in the league this season
04:21and uh that's what he's all about getting one on one they actually you know i think joggan does
04:26great on the other side and and you know that's why the the wide areas is that's the big threat
04:33you know dundee will be looking to try and feed it into the feet of those two players and
04:36try and isolate them 1v1 against the opposing fullback
04:56moldovan internationalist might go on to ross grim
05:10it's interesting though isn't it when you look at these two teams and you think going right back
05:14to the start of the season you know what was the expectation you know dundee dundee would have would
05:22have maybe had gone into this season with a little bit of fear and trepidation uh having not finished
05:29the season particularly well whereas dundee united had an exceptional first season back in the top
05:36flight finishing fourth under jim goodwin and of course the progress that dundee have made over the
05:42last few months has been significant whereas this kind of inconsistency has has troubled dundee united
05:48pretty much from day one and it and it's it's amazing how quickly things can change in football
05:55it seems to be more of a feel-good factor about dundee than united there's a long throw the back
06:01header fatah's going after it goalkeeper's in trouble and that's some terrific defending from joel
06:08cottero he kept his cool and done the united of a corner what about this touch though i mean fatah
06:14just
06:14keeps an eye on his opposition but look at this for a lovely little just lift and i mean your
06:19goalkeeper
06:20is absolutely in no man's land i'm not sure it was a ball that he should have gone for but
06:23fatah was
06:24really composed and if he could have been a little bit more precise with his final pass that would have
06:29been one nil swedish former under 21 international player amer fatah on corner kick duty
06:38they're queuing up and he get it away back to fatah simon murray nibbles away at him fatah does well
06:47hooks it up oh it should have been one nil what a chance that was well you just can't miss
06:55from there
06:55paul you you just can't wait you watch how fast murray close him down but he's going too fast you
07:01actually
07:01need to put the brakes on and he's so intent on getting a challenge in but look at that ball
07:06in
07:06by amma fatah i mean that is on a plate just a little dink to the far stick does everything
07:11right
07:12you can't miss from there four yards out unchallenged as a center back you just cannot miss from there that
07:20is as easy a chance as you will ever ever have and to miss the target is unforgivable
07:29well that is the kind of chance you dream of early doors you know you over
07:34my location out of moldova has scored once you really should have had another one and it's such
07:41a such a waste for for some really good forward play by amma fatah not just the fact that he
07:47was able
07:47to skip around murray but the delivery from the wide area was perfect
07:55right
07:56free kick
07:59well and he will be delighted they've escaped that scare
08:03the referee this afternoon duncan nicholson assisted by david room and chris ray
08:08Andrew Dallas and Gavin Duncan
08:11are on VAR duty
08:22you mentioned the change earlier
08:24you don't get that first tackle
08:26that first hit, it's interesting
08:28I was looking back across the Derbys
08:30the Edinburgh Derby, the Glasgow Derby
08:32and the Dundee Derby and if you look at the
08:34early 90s, 2000s compared to
08:36now, I mean you could barely go two
08:38or three games without a red card or two
08:40there's been one in the last 16
08:43between these two for
08:45Scott Bain was set off in May 2016
08:47and then you had
08:48Adeboyega set off in March
08:50of 25, you know what I mean, that's a decade
08:52between cards. Of course and it
08:54you know, it supports what I'm saying about
08:56the fact that the game has changed
08:59I'd see some pundits who
09:00shall remain nameless but they're very quick to say
09:02it's a Derby, you've got to get wired in
09:05you just, you can't get away with that these days
09:09and you know
09:11I mean really what that should lead to is a
09:13better game, more controlled game of football
09:15but it's ironic, the thing fans always
09:18have loved about Derbys is the helter-skelter nature of
09:21and the bad tackles and the blood guts and thunder
09:25but I think those days are largely gone
09:30Sport across so many sports has developed
09:34into a bit more protection
09:38as Dundee give it away
09:41if you are yearning for the days of the tackle
09:44when you get a chance to do it
09:46go and watch the Maradona documentary
09:48and see how he got kicked up and down
09:51unbelievably playing for Napoli
09:56and when we hear the youth of today talking about
10:00Messi or Ronaldo, Ronaldo or Messi
10:02I'm always the same as you
10:03go and watch Maradona and see how this guy
10:06was able to hold his own in an era where
10:08everyone was out to get him
10:09I mean he was a phenomenal player
10:11but a hardy, hardy individual as well
10:14which is something that you need
10:19lovely touch
10:22side on to Samuels
10:24can be done by Dundee United
10:28and then Hamilton on Frugia
10:30that's not a free kick
10:36Ashley
10:37tries to pick out Corngreave
10:39and the XS has to go to ground
10:44got to talk about that pass by the centre-back
10:46with a little bit of fade
10:48in behind the centre-back
10:50for Cameron Congreave
10:53who likes to stretch his legs
10:54and get onto it
10:54but that pass was phenomenal
10:57that was, look at that
10:58with a bit of fade
10:59I mean that's like Virgil van Dijk
11:01beautiful
11:02but I love the commitment
11:04he just thought
11:04I'm not going to let this winger
11:06have a chance to get ahead of steamer
11:07it's ball man and everything
11:15Dundee had beaten in the last four
11:19eight points
11:20taken
11:21that's probably their best run
11:22since a nice three out of three
11:23victories in December
11:27no threat there
11:31Fatah
11:34down the side nicely by Astley
11:38Congreave twist turns
11:39gets away from Ferry
11:40still going
11:42Bungie into the middle
11:43Simon Murray with a swipe
11:44here's Yandanda
11:48Fatah with a challenge
11:49from behind
11:52that's a free kick
11:54Ross Graham
11:56was disappointed
11:58that Cottrell went down
12:00lovely feet again by Congreave
12:02and it puts in
12:03it's actually a brilliant chance
12:04for Simon Murray
12:05and he totally snatches on it
12:06but there's a physicality
12:08about Dundee United's play
12:10I mean
12:10this tackle
12:11does not need to be made
12:13and there's just
12:14he's now giving away
12:15a free kick
12:1620 something yards
12:17from goal
12:18middle of the goal
12:19and
12:20Dundee have got a number of players
12:22whose eyes light up
12:23when they get a set piece
12:24you're thinking
12:24that Yandanda
12:25will be all over this
12:26I mean
12:26he'll be looking at this
12:27thinking
12:27if I can lift this up
12:28and over the wall
12:30I've got a great chance
12:31but again
12:32going back to some lovely
12:34wing play there
12:35by Cameron Congreave
12:36he's been a breath of fresh air
12:38for Dundee this season
12:46one thing I'll say
12:46that is a very tall wall
12:48for Dundee United
12:49so if you're going to get it up
12:50and over
12:52you're going to be doing well
12:53particularly if they jump
12:54a lot of work
12:55to do
12:55Cottrell one way
12:56Dundee the other
12:57but it could be
12:57the more direct
12:59it was almost like
12:59a toe poke
13:04and it was
13:06Ryan Asler
13:09your gap
13:17it's really disappointing
13:18I have to say
13:20I watched last night's game
13:21I covered
13:23hearts against
13:23Kilmarnock
13:24on what is just
13:25a horrible pitch
13:26that plastic pitch
13:27with players
13:28slipping into stumbling
13:29it's just so good
13:30to see
13:30the green green grass
13:31of the ends
13:33and these players
13:34having the ability
13:35to show off their tricks
13:36Cherec
13:37into the middle
13:38it goes
13:38there's the chance
13:39Ruger
13:39almost in
13:40Max Waters
13:46Dundee survive
13:52I think it's been a perfectly acceptable opening 15 minutes
13:55I mean there's a good pace to the game
13:58the thing that I'm pleased to see is that Dundee United are not here to make up the numbers
14:03or sitting and hit on the counter
14:04they're very much got a press on
14:07Dundee have a composure about the way they play
14:09so they're going to take the challenge that's thrown down to them by Dundee United
14:12they're going to try and play through the lines
14:14I think
14:14I thought we'd get a good game of football today
14:16and it's turning out to be that way
14:20Ross Gremm
14:2190s goalkeeper
14:22but you know Simon Murray will chase
14:30little ferry
14:33just going back to that free kick
14:36I'm really really surprised
14:37that you would end up
14:38when you've got a dead ball
14:39and you've got two dead ball specialists
14:41in Congreve and Danda
14:43and they get bullied by the centre-back
14:45Ryan Astor
14:46he says let me hit this at 70 miles an hour
14:48it's like well
14:48you know
14:49you're going to have to miss the wall
14:51and the goalie should be covering that side
14:53so
14:53to me
14:55that's the opportunity where finesse is going to work more than power
14:58I'd be saying to the centre-back
14:59get yourself back to the halfway line mate
15:01this is not for you
15:02yeah
15:03thanks for playing
15:04off you go
15:11here's Jan Danda
15:13didn't quite sparkle at hearts
15:15but
15:15I don't think hearts used them particularly well either
15:18I don't think hearts used them particularly well either
15:45the ball out you know out of the danger area but I would have expected him to be providing more
15:50cover for his mate because if they keep leaving Yogan against Yovu throughout this game they're going to have some
15:56trouble
15:59look at it
16:00bodies go flying but it's well defended
16:08Danda sets up three right
16:11too many right backs
16:12we're seven these days
16:13but he does
16:15Danda into middle again
16:16bodies go flying
16:17seven but he stands on the ball
16:23yes I mean it's a very interesting point you make about Yan Danda who caught everyone's eye when he played
16:29at Ross County
16:30was a terrific signing for them and a very creative player plenty of goals plenty of assists and I couldn't
16:36agree more when you mention about you know the role that he played at heart he got moved around a
16:41lot he was almost the piece of the jigsaw that was like we'll stick him in when we've got no
16:44one else to play there and he's one of those guys that you need to see a lot of the
16:48ball because he's very creative he's got good ability on the ball and I think that you know Steven Presley
16:57has recognised that plays him in a central area
17:01so there's a potential check here in fact there is a check for potential handball
17:06and for a penalty
17:07now there was bodies flying and bouncing all over the place but VAR are currently having a look at this
17:14now it was the arm out by Vicko Chavez
17:20there's no question it hits his arm absolutely no question in my mind it hits his arm but it's is
17:26he unsighted and is it again we talk about that
17:28I don't even know what natural position means anymore but that that goes over the head of the centre-back
17:34and I
17:36for my life I cannot see that that should be given as a penalty kick
17:41worth the check but thankfully and thankfully from the holistic point of view because that's not a penalty that's not
17:47favouring either side
17:48no that that's not a penalty kick in any way shape or form we've still got fans all over the
17:53world saying but it hit his arm
17:55that's not what handball is supposed to be it's supposed to be a deliberate act or putting you know your
18:01arm in an unnatural position to make yourself bigger
18:03and neither of those things occurred there
18:08that's one of the things about the laws of the game and you know everything changes and you know
18:13the game evolves but I think they've just dug a massive hole regarding handball and rather than simplify it they
18:20just keep going down and down and down
18:33adjust the way they play I mean I laugh now when I see defenders tuck their arms in behind their
18:39backsides
18:40you know to say right well if it hits my arm you can't give anything again that's not a natural
18:44way to defend
18:45that's not how you run but but they can't trust the officials so
18:49they take it out of their hands by defending in a way they look like a weeble
18:55Jim Goodwin
18:58former St Budden manager went to Aberdeen
19:02didn't work out for him Stephen Robinson's just made that trip
19:06there's the Longthrope dealt with
19:09Dundee United over again
19:12he's going to be dispossessed and Yandanda might spring Dundee here
19:17and there's the chase for Simon Murray
19:20Dundee
19:21and I think that's just doing enough
19:24Simon Murray birthday boy
19:28turns 34
19:30looks good on it as well
19:34and well the assistant referee failed to acknowledge it was his birthday and gave him offside
19:40I'm going to throw something to you here because
19:43anyone who's watching this game will be confused when he's been given offside
19:47so watch where he receives the ball okay
19:53five yards onside is where he receives the ball and I would do away with this rule
20:00to me this is a stoppage that's unnecessary there's no advantage to Dundee whatsoever with him picking the ball up
20:05there
20:05if he picks it up he's offside and he picks it up in an advantageous position
20:10offside but when he comes back six yards to get it
20:13play on
20:15facing away from goal as well
20:16no advantage whatsoever and it's a problem that we have with the offside rule
20:34there's a contrast between the way the back three for Dundee United play they don't tend to stand on ceremony
20:40that they that they'll empty the ball you know that it's safety first whereas the back four for Dundee are
20:47prepared to take more chances even if they're being pressed they're never looking for a ball
20:51pass that misses out the midfield they're always looking to thread it into their midfielders or into the wide players
20:56and giving them the opportunity to play out so there's more of a trust
20:59so there's more of a trust
21:01decent ball and well defended
21:10and they're looking to build again Trey right on the inside
21:13Bottle was calling for it
21:15and it did well
21:17Joghan's going to chase Jouwer's across
21:21he manages to play it away
21:26the referee will bring things to halt momentarily
21:40and Preston has just felt
21:42he was caught
21:46he possibly had his standing foot trodden on there but everyone's eyes are drawn to the ball aren't they
21:54there's a suspicion of handball as well
21:58not easy for referees
22:00so we get underway
22:05mention it's Simon Murray's birthday
22:07his manager once got sent off on his birthday playing for Scotland against Ukraine
22:12so
22:13it does not always turn out good on your birthday when you're a player
22:16no
22:17it's not always a fairy tale is it
22:18you've got to go and earn it
22:24Hamilton almost through
22:47that's a poor ball
22:48Joghan tries to gather
22:52good tracking back by Stevenson
22:57yeah Stevenson's bailed his mate out of a hole but it was a horrible switch of play wasn't it
23:00that pass was like a side wind
23:04certainly wasn't up to Ryan Astley standard
23:08Fata up against Dre Wright
23:14Fata was very confident the throw was going his side's way
23:20still awaiting the breakthrough
23:23and the United can get to maximum of 45 points
23:27Falkirk currently of 43 so the top six
23:31well it's fairly remote I think is fair to say
23:35and I'm sure the players just want to find a way through here that's a long throw
23:40McCracken comes and plucks it out the air
23:44confident goalkeeper
23:47yeah if you watch him just watch he keeps an eye on the flight of the ball
23:51and that's the advantage that a goalie has that with his arms and the reach
23:54he doesn't actually try and punch or anything
23:56and that's a very confident take by McCracken
23:59Feney beat right laid back to Fata
24:02Parisian in the middle of the field
24:04that's Stevenson in the shade
24:11Chavez
24:23not doing well there
24:25Simon Murray
24:26wanted Congreve
24:28and Kereshtez used his body well
24:30not once but twice
24:31and Congreve says
24:32down you go
24:34I mean it
24:35I think that we'll see on the replay that he actually
24:38Kereshtez blocks
24:39you watch this
24:40you watch the give and go
24:41Congreve
24:42just watch
24:44Kereshtez actually just gives him a stiff arm doesn't he
24:47so of course Congreve thinks
24:48well you can have some back
24:49and let me tell you there's absolutely nothing in that
24:53this kind of reaction of players
24:56play-acting it really I find it hard to watch you know look at this big bruising centre-half and
25:00he goes down like he's been poleaxed
25:03yeah you wouldn't want to brush up against him in the supermarket you'd end up in the freezer
25:09here's Stevenson
25:12Stevenson lovely clip ball in
25:14no tangerine taker
25:17Jan Dander
25:20and yet
25:22fifth start forward on the United
25:24lovely pass on the inside
25:26Ferrucci opens up
25:27that's straight to the goalkeeper
25:29eight goals
25:30Neil Ferrucci
25:32appeal is number seven
25:33former Barnsley player
25:35you've mentioned it though this
25:36that little layoff there first time was absolutely fantastic
25:39and that's the first
25:40kind of clear sight of goal that United have had
25:44because they shifted the ball quicker
25:45I think that that's
25:46that would be the
25:47maybe the criticism that
25:48Jim Goodwin would have of his players
25:51they actually had a fair amount of the ball
25:52but sideways and backwards
25:54sideways and backwards
25:54we saw Stevenson just
25:56inject a little bit of pace a few moments ago
25:58dropped a shoulder
25:59clipped a ball into the box
26:00they've just
26:01they need to be a little bit braver
26:03you know when they're going forward
26:04Dundee United
26:06here come Dundee
26:07trying to open things up
26:09Congrave
26:10brilliantly done
26:11chipped up
26:11there's the deflection
26:12off the crossbar
26:14and Chavez gets it away
26:16and then Steven has helped it on
26:18Stevenson
26:19cleared well
26:23well Dundee United
26:24under severe pressure here
26:26there's another great little
26:28ball in
26:28and actually
26:29comes and gathers
26:31and takes
26:32but Dundee
26:32we're nearly ahead
26:34well Congrave is
26:35is calling
26:36causing mayhem out in that area
26:37it takes a deflection
26:38and the goalkeeper
26:39does fantastically well
26:40at full stretch
26:41under pressure
26:42but every time he gets it
26:43you think something's going to happen
26:44he's got lovely feet
26:45he's a lefty
26:46but he's actually got a good
26:47final ball with his right foot
26:49and Dundee United
26:50will scramble it
26:50clear
26:51but we already know
26:52what the blueprint is for Dundee
26:54to get it wide
26:54to their two wingers
26:55because they fancy their chances
26:57Fattah's through
26:58brilliantly
26:59McCracken with a save at the post
27:03chances at both ends
27:04this game is starting to blossom
27:06well we haven't seen him
27:08on the ball
27:09enough
27:09but he's got some quality
27:11hasn't he
27:11Amafata
27:11just again
27:12great feet
27:13going into the box
27:14and a shimmy
27:15and
27:16McCracken does well
27:18Ferry
27:21tries to deliver
27:22and earns the corner kick
27:23for the visitors
27:26probably the best thing
27:27about this game
27:27this is Amafata
27:28just drops
27:29just look at the feet
27:30they're absolutely brilliant
27:32it's hard pressed to score
27:33from a tight angle
27:35but gets some good power in it
27:36but McCracken's always favourite
27:38from that tight angle
27:42there's no fear in this game
27:44because neither team's
27:45going to go up
27:46neither team's going to go down
27:47so they can just go and play
27:48with a freedom
27:49we're getting a cracking game
27:50of football
27:54the only year
27:55that early chance
27:57for Dundee United
27:57will they get a second chance
27:59well not with that
28:01delivery
28:02Amafata
28:06oh Jim Goodwin
28:07little shake of the head
28:08on that occasion
28:10well it's been a fascinating
28:11opening 29 minutes
28:15Dundee United's win
28:16at Dens back in January 25
28:17the first away win
28:18in the league fixture
28:19since September 2014
28:20and it's the home team
28:22who've had the more possession
28:23and the United
28:25with the only effort
28:26on target
28:26arguably should have scored
28:32but the game has felt like
28:34there's more threat
28:34from Dundee
28:35because
28:36you know
28:37their wingers are very clear
28:39in their intent
28:42Barry Samuels
28:43from Hammersmith in London
28:45picks up
28:46goes after it
28:47Yogan
28:47it's taken out
28:48that's the first question
28:50reasonable one
28:52and the referee might give the benefit
28:54of the doubt here
28:57and I'll tell you what
28:58that'll be his last one
28:59well
29:00I think he's incredibly fortunate
29:02here
29:02Yovu
29:02because
29:03if this is not a promising
29:04attacking move
29:05I don't know what is
29:06this is inside Dundee United's half
29:08touched
29:09and gets away from him
29:10and he's breaking into an air
29:12he's going to get into the final third
29:131v1
29:14and that to me
29:15is absolutely blatant
29:16and that you do not
29:17you should not get a freebie
29:18for that
29:19that is a caution
29:20all day long
29:23well another one to shy away from
29:25a yellow card
29:26as Duncan Nicholson
29:27showed 10
29:28in the game between
29:29Killy and Aberdeen
29:30this season
29:30he's got another game
29:31with 9 as well
29:34deciding
29:35it's just a free kick
29:37Yandanda on the angle
29:39headed back across
29:40Greer
29:41and Caresnes
29:45I mean
29:46great delivery
29:47great knockback
29:48why is he not hitting it
29:49on the volley
29:49I mean look at
29:50look at that cushion
29:51I mean
29:52you've just got to
29:53point your toe
29:53and volley
29:54I think there's a handball
29:55coming
29:56little check here
29:57just the arm goes up
29:58the flailing arm
29:59which again
30:00I would argue
30:01is
30:01if you're not even
30:02looking at the ball
30:03then
30:04there's no
30:05you're not making yourself
30:06bigger
30:07it's not a deliberate
30:08use of the arm
30:09to prevent it
30:10going anywhere
30:12obviously we'll need to
30:13we'll need to get
30:14another look
30:14but I don't even think
30:16that the Dundee United
30:17defender
30:18I don't think he's even
30:19looking at the ball
30:23it's not that one
30:25I think it's
30:25I thought it was the one
30:26before that
30:27yeah so did I
30:28there was the arm
30:29up above the head
30:30it might have brushed
30:31but it looked like
30:31it brushed him
30:32but again
30:33it shouldn't be a penalty
30:39but I would
30:40I would be worried
30:41how much joy
30:42if I was Jim Goodman
30:43I'd be worried
30:43how much joy
30:44their wingers
30:44you know
30:45Congreve gets the ball
30:46and he's giving them
30:47all sorts of trouble
30:48on the right hand side
30:49Joghan gets the ball
30:50on the left
30:51they actually need to
30:52provide a little bit
30:53more cover
30:53because neither of their
30:54wide defenders
30:56are capable of
30:57handling one-on-one
30:58against those guys
31:01a long throw
31:02bouncing around
31:03and goes behind
31:05it is quite amazing
31:07how the long throw
31:08it's like fashion
31:09it's come back
31:10well I believe
31:11next season
31:12IFAB have discussed
31:13bringing in a rule
31:15where you've only got
31:15six seconds to take
31:17a throw in
31:18and you know what
31:18that's going to do
31:19it's going to stop
31:20the guy who's got
31:20the long throw
31:21from getting on it
31:22because they're going
31:22to say well
31:22if you haven't taken
31:23it in six seconds
31:25the throwing goes
31:26the other way
31:27am I against that
31:28not really
31:31in this corner
31:32Graham wins the header
31:34Joghurt
31:36Ashley gets up there
31:37Murray tried to get there
31:38and Waters away
31:42Max Waters
31:43who's normally
31:43supposed to be playing
31:44send a forward
31:45for Dundee United
31:46has actually had more
31:47work to do
31:47back in the other
31:4918 yard ball
31:50he really has
31:52but you know
31:53I think we missed
31:54a great opportunity
31:55we were focusing
31:56more on the penalty
31:57that never was
31:58I actually think
31:58that that chance
31:59I'm sure it was
31:59Luke Graham
32:00the ball in from
32:01Danda
32:02the knockback
32:02where we thought
32:03there was a potential
32:03penalty
32:04but you know
32:06as a centre half
32:07when you're 8 yards
32:08out on the angle
32:08he tries to
32:09almost cushion it
32:10onto someone else
32:11point your toe
32:12and pull the trigger
32:13I would like to see
32:15that chance again
32:16because it looked
32:16really clear cut
32:18to me
32:29right to Samuels
32:30you'll move a bit early
32:33Samuels almost got it
32:34through to Cottrell
32:35Cottrell might get it back
32:36I think he milked that
32:38play on says the referee
32:40two players down
32:42Congreve into the middle
32:44Kereshtes away
32:45knocked back in by Dundee
32:49Joghan
32:50tries to find
32:51Samuels good stretch
32:53by Lucas Stevenson
32:56loan from Liverpool
32:58that loans with Barrow
32:59as well as Dundee United
33:01I wasn't convinced
33:03by that
33:03and I remain
33:04unconvinced
33:06agreed
33:22Danda
33:22another little jab
33:24forward
33:24Motti
33:27Leon says the referee
33:28the ball back
33:29with Joghan
33:33he's got two trying
33:34to block him
33:34plays it back
33:35to Danda
33:36Danda
33:36with a little curl
33:40oh Ferry
33:40was unhappy
33:42but he did his job
33:44in the end
33:44Jan Danda
33:45is not the man
33:46that Dundee United
33:47want to be allowing
33:48to ping the ball
33:48into the area
33:49no he can deliver
33:50a great ball in
33:51I think that
33:52Joghan actually
33:53when he was 1v1
33:54he shaped to go back
33:55on his right foot
33:56and he dragged it
33:57and I thought
33:57that he's got a real
33:59turn of foot
34:00I thought he should
34:00have just gone to
34:01the byline
34:01and tried to deliver
34:02a ball in
34:03if I'm Steven Presley
34:05I'm saying to my
34:05wingers
34:06you guys are going
34:06to win us the game
34:07do not pass the ball
34:09back when you get it
34:09in the final third
34:11go and commit
34:11the defenders
34:13that is a free kick
34:17on the Dundee skipper
34:18on the Dundee skipper
34:21I mean Murray
34:21loves the kind of
34:23physical contact
34:24doesn't he
34:24he has no problem
34:26whatsoever with
34:27centre backs
34:27trying to come
34:28through the back
34:28of him
34:29you know
34:30he's happy to
34:30put his body
34:31on the line
34:32and take one
34:32for the team
34:44Dre Wright
34:4735th appearance
34:48former St.
34:49John's
34:49Ebb's player
34:52that's very
34:53floaty
34:54Farisia
34:55got it away
34:56Fata
34:56flips it on
34:57looking for
34:58Ferry
35:07good one
35:09you've got to
35:09love it
35:10the referee
35:10makes a slightly
35:11dodgy decision
35:12the media
35:12looks the fourth
35:13official that gets
35:13it in the net
35:19nine to half
35:20time
35:22Samuels
35:24Fata
35:26has won it
35:27well
35:27now Farisia
35:28looks up
35:29to see
35:29what he's
35:30got in the
35:30middle
35:32he didn't
35:33have as many
35:34players as he
35:34wanted
35:35but the delivery
35:35has to be
35:36better
35:36oh absolutely
35:38and I mean
35:38Yovu does a
35:39really good job
35:40because he's
35:40able to defend
35:4215 yards
35:43into Dundee's
35:43half so of
35:44course
35:44he uses his
35:45physicality to
35:46brush Jogan
35:47out the way
35:48and give the
35:48ball into
35:50Farisia
35:50who hasn't
35:51really had much
35:52involvement in the
35:52game
35:53and if that's
35:54what you're
35:54going to give
35:55when you're
35:55delivering balls
35:56from wide
35:56areas
35:56you're not
35:56going to
35:57last much
35:57longer

36:42I hear
36:43one
36:43header
36:43Fata
36:46and he
36:46goes in
36:47again
36:49I thought that
36:49was going to be
36:50a free kick
36:51it's not the
36:51referee decided
36:52against it
36:53Danda
36:53taken out
36:54Joga
36:56Joga
36:57steps on the
36:57inside
36:58trying to find
36:58the shooting
36:59chance
36:59that was on
37:00target
37:00and Kereshtes
37:02gets it away
37:03I think
37:03Graham could be
37:04in trouble here
37:05with the
37:05referee
37:06yeah Danda
37:07actually drew
37:08him in
37:09and just
37:09slipped the
37:10ball out
37:10to Joga
37:10and then
37:11if you
37:11watch
37:11carefully
37:13I think
37:13it's
37:13Ross
37:14Graham
37:14he just
37:14holds his
37:15ground
37:16and kind
37:16of
37:17body
37:17checks
37:19it's not
37:20as bad
37:20as I
37:21thought
37:21first
37:21but
37:22they
37:23allow him
37:23to cut
37:23inside
37:24onto a
37:24stronger
37:24right foot
37:25it's
37:25actually

37:26very
37:26good
37:27headed
37:27clearance
37:27by
37:28Kereshtes
37:28puts his
37:29body
37:29on the
37:30line
37:30I
37:30think
37:30that
37:30might
37:30be
37:30heading
37:31for
37:31the
37:31top
37:31corner
37:31so
37:32it's
37:32a
37:32good
37:32clearance
37:33by the
37:34Dundee
37:34United
37:34centre
37:35half
37:39but
37:39Dundee
37:40are having

42:06that

42:09actually
42:10judge

42:10flight
42:10of
42:10the
42:10ball
42:14inside
42:15sharing
42:15the same
42:15division
42:16for just
42:17the
42:1711th
42:17time
42:17since
42:182000
42:20that's
42:20floated
42:21in
42:21an
42:22effective
42:22lick
42:53He felt it was fouled, but he was not getting any attention from the referee.
42:57And the United counter came from a really poor pass from Jan Dander who overhit it.
43:02And again, tried to be clever here on the edge of the box.
43:07The goalie always had it covered at that stage.
43:10But it was the first ball in, a brilliant ball in by Will Ferry.
43:13But this is the thing, you're going to get composure from Dander.
43:16But he's effectively given Duny United two bites of the cherry
43:20just by being very sloppy in his own final third.
43:33He's been busy as John McCracken.
43:37Yeah, he's the one that's had to make good saves from Fata.
43:44Whereas it feels like Dundee have more of a threat
43:48when they get their wingers isolated, 1v1, the final third.
43:51But they haven't managed to create the clear-cut chance.
43:54As I said, I thought probably the best chance they've had
43:56was the one that fell to Luke Graham.
44:23Stephenson, that's a great ball, and McCracken with a save from Fata.
44:27Ferry will pull it back, there's the chance.
44:30And Xavi had the opportunity.
44:33Novu now comes forward, Dundee United ending the half strongly.
44:40Here's the chance.
44:41Xavi steps inside.
44:44Brusek for the goalkeeper.
44:46He absolutely melted it and expected to celebrate.
44:50Well, United are finishing the half very strongly.
44:53Two great opportunities, this was a brilliant feat by Sevilla,
44:56and it's a full length.
44:59What a ball in, first of all, and Amafata does really well,
45:02but again, McCracken gets his angles just right,
45:06and I thought it was great composure by Ferry to cut it back,
45:08but they've had kind of three decent opportunities done United.
45:16Well, they're rattling in with the opportunities.
45:20Can they go in with the lead?
45:22This should be the last action of the first half.
45:26Out to the edge of the area.
45:28Sevilla.
45:29Sevilla.
45:30The other corner.
45:32I would love to know how you can hit a corner like that
45:36and have an unchallenged header for Sevilla.
45:40I mean, Amafata telegraphs where he's going to hit it
45:43and just floats it to the edge of the box,
45:44and he stood there all by himself with a free header
45:46to cushion it down.
45:48Incredible.
45:52Sevilla.
45:55Sevilla.
45:57Vatak, lovely move.
45:59And it's tipped over by John McCracken
46:03and Dundee United
46:05have really given their all in the last five minutes of this half.
46:11Jim Goodwin's team talk might be changing slightly.
46:15Vatak, low, tried to flick it.
46:17The referee decided before it goes anywhere
46:20that he wants to get them in.
46:23Well, John McCracken had a lot of work to do
46:25in the last five minutes, Stuart Lovell.
46:28He really did, and I think that Dundee United came on to a game
46:31and it's been a really good 45 minutes of football chances
46:35at both ends.
46:36All the players that we want to see on the ball
46:37have had an influence.
46:39It might be level at the break,
46:41but I think we've got another good 45 minutes
46:43to look forward to.
46:45Well, Dundee started brightly
46:46and caused a few problems.
46:48Actually, Maynard Brewer had to sweep one
46:50from underneath his crossbar,
46:52but in the last five minutes,
46:54it was John McCracken,
46:56the man all in yellow,
46:57who was required to keep out Dundee United.
47:02It's always great when these two get together
47:04in the city of Dundee.
47:07All heart, all action.
47:09The only thing we've been missing
47:10has been a goal.
47:12that they're still there.
47:13Let's get it.
47:13You don't say that first,
47:14let me know.
47:14Go.
47:15Go.
