00:00team tonight James McFarren and Alistair Laman. Thanks very much Jonathan third meeting in the
00:06space of a week but absolutely no doubt this is the big one 11 goals in the two previous meetings
00:13here this season so are we in for another goal bonanza tonight our both needing a victory
00:19have just one win in seven Dunfermline in the driving seat but only just
00:29good atmosphere building inside Gayfield a good-sized crowd visiting fans have traveled
00:36in their numbers the home fans have turned out as well both expectant both hopeful both optimistic
00:50our bros only change is to bring in the experienced Scott Robinson for Gavin Riley up front just seven
00:58league starts for Robinson this season he'll be hoping this one isn't his last of the campaign
01:06also a solitary change for Dunfermline as John Todd is brought in for Alphonse Ahmad
01:11which means Nuruddin Abdoulaye moves into midfield as he did late in the game on Tuesday
01:20Finlay Marshall came as close as any of both players is scoring in the first leg he's certainly
01:25one Dunfermline will have to keep a close eye on if they are to progress because Kane's goal could
01:31yet prove crucial and Dunfermline have rewarded him with a new one-year deal which he'll aim to be serving
01:37in the Premiership David Dickinson in charge for this one
01:45and just about to get us underway
01:58so Charlie Gilmore starts the second leg much as he did the first leg
02:04gaining a bit of territory I'm still trying to get my head around exactly what what they're achieving
02:09with that James I know you are as well yeah just trying to squeeze the game and when they put
02:14it
02:15in it means it then I brought me to throw it and it allows them to go and squeeze the
02:19game and get the press on but
02:21I'm pretty sure they'd maybe rather that was further down the line
02:30let's see which of these sides can settle first
02:35strong challenge early on from John Todd letting Ryan Dow noise there
02:41PSG were doing it against Bayern the other night as well so they must have been watching him Tuesday night
02:46no doubt
02:56Scott Robinson was at Kilmarnock the year they pipped our growth for the championship title albeit he missed
03:04pretty much all the second half of the season injured
03:08but he's got certainly a lot of playoff experience
03:15you'll be looking to put it to good use tight as Aidan McCarron so hope to be a little bit
03:20less busy
03:21it's a good challenge from Ingrania as McIntyre trying to step away from him
03:27and Andrew Todd trying to get the better there of Watson but Watson just
03:34the forearm into his face there it's not a good clearance
03:39Abdullahi stepping forward from that midfield role Kane
03:43trying to catch Dow but it's a good ball from Dow
03:47test here for Todd
03:51held up for Dow once more chance here and deflected wide real good counter attack that
03:58throw of Abdullahi turning it behind for the corner that's excellent from Scott Robinson
04:05I thought he was going to hit it there but he doesn't get tempted waits for Dow making the run
04:10great first touch and Abdullahi getting back and getting the block in
04:17promising stuff from the home side as Dow prepares to take the corner right onto the head of Ingrania and
04:25on by Gilmour
04:30Todd clears
04:32Robbie Fraser all the way up there trying to close down
04:40well won by Gilmour Morrison I think is on side as he picks up here
04:47Matty Todd joins him
04:51pretty end to end in the opening few minutes
04:55no cageyness of it either side
04:59love it keep it coming
05:07Abdullahi for Gilmour what do you think Abdullahi offers in the
05:10the centre of midfield that Neil Lennon wants to utilize him in there James
05:14probably a bit of physicality he's obviously you know a key player as well for the firm and I know
05:19you can usually operate in the centre back but I think you know that presence in that midfield area
05:25I thought Ahmad performed really well in the first half second half not so good
05:29and maybe just feels that Abdullahi is a more solid option
05:35that's Wilkie forward and Dow on
05:40Gwena returns it
05:47well that's gone in Dunfermline's favour which Scott Robinson is pretty amused about I can
05:53kind of sympathise with him that looks like a good ball for Morrison the flag is up though
05:59look pretty tight but uh it's just that quick with the flag
06:05yeah it did look tight
06:06I think it might be on side
06:13I think that's a great decision not a great angle I have to say
06:16good ball from Fraser as well wasn't it and that's that is on whether it's Morrison, Kane or Todd
06:22that is on maybe a little warning for Arbroath that you can't risk playing the high line but that is
06:29a risky take
06:36well there's been a lot of chat about Arbroath's home record how much they enjoy playing here and certainly
06:43they've only been beaten once in the last 15 here and that was by the the champions in Johnston
06:49that's uh going back to the 5-0 defeat here by tonight's opponents uh back in September
06:58but uh the issue is that of those 14 games unbeaten only seven of them are wins and it's wins
07:05or a win that they need tonight
07:11so they're certainly solid and hard to beat on home turf but they don't always get the victories
07:21but those two defeats to St Johnson and Dunfermour the only two in the league here
07:27this season so it's no wonder they're confident taken to the field here as Dow picks up that's lovely play
07:35and John Todd's going to go into the book early on and uh Ryan Dow already looks really up for
07:42this
07:43looking sharp and uh it's not how John Todd wanted to start this game no it's like something from
07:49Dow looks like he's going to come back inside and his right foot just shifts it up the line
07:54clear shot pull easy yellow car for david dickinson to give

08:31up to Morrison, Keynes there as well, returned by Wilkie, now doing well against, Marshall
08:47picking up, still Marshall with a crucial intervention, well you mentioned him a minute
08:56set the tempo early, quick throw-ins, aggressive to go and get forward, former Dunfermline man,
09:0781 appearances for the club in three seasons between 2019-2022, looking to get one over on
09:17them. He's certainly got a bag of experience, he's showing that he's got the energy and
09:29the appetite to go on, didn't really make his mark in this game, well for the few very enjoyable
09:43nights here at Gayfield over the years in the championship and this feels like it could be
09:47another one, certainly atmosphere-wise it's right up there.
09:55That season that Jonathan mentioned four years ago when they pushed Kilmarnock all the way,
10:00what a story it was, just failing at the last.
10:10Now this season's been almost as impressive, again it's kind of maybe because of the recent
10:17memory of uh of them going for the title it's not got the the praise it perhaps deserves but
10:23as a part-time outfit to do what they've done it's quite exceptional under youthful management as well
10:35I think that's another big point, oh it is hugely impressive, given two young managers
10:40at a club they know inside out but it's okay knowing the club but they're showing that they're more than
10:45capable
10:50This good play for McIntyre, this one feels pretty feisty, so much at stake of course and the players know
10:57it
11:04that they want to survive too, they want to survive too, the players know it's been the best
11:11so much at stake of course and the players know it's been the best
11:20so much at stake of course and the players know it's been the best
11:22So much at stake of course, they'll be the best
11:27to take over the last game, Poka Cain looking to put a bit of pressure there on Stewart
11:39Watson just a little bit unsure of his bearings there and McAdams
11:44helps him out under pressure from Morrison.
11:52Rolled out to Cochrane, now Stewart.
11:57I think as you said earlier, James, the pitch does look a little bit
12:01bobbly, understand about this time of the season when it's just hardening up
12:06after all the wear and tear it's taken over the course of the season.
12:10Yeah, I mean, it's been a tough year for the old football pitches, Al,
12:15with the weather and you're right, it is just drying out.
12:18And as much as people make a broth, I said this before the game,
12:23and using the conditions, of course, they know how to deal with it
12:26because they're used to it, but they've got players that want the ball to feet,
12:28they want to play along the ground, so it's not helping them either.
12:32That was a tricky one for McAdams to deal with from O'Brien,
12:36and just has to settle for lashing it out of play,
12:39he didn't get a great deal of distance on it.
12:49Gwena comes and takes it from Fraser.
12:55McIntyre with a block.
13:11Partick Thistle lying in wheat for the victors of this tie.
13:25Partick Thistle lying in wheat for the victors of this tie.
13:26Gwena comes and takes it over the match.
13:30But here's the ball there.
13:31So what shall I call Mullin tods there, and McIntyre has steps in.
13:39H Oxford gets good distance in the kick.
13:50Matty Todd misjudging that one
13:58Such an impressive performer
13:59over the course of this season
14:29Good-bye.
14:41One by Abdoulaye, Kane can't find a teammate and Wilkie just
14:48stabs that one forward but all the way through to Oxford.
14:56Goes Kane again.
15:00Wilkie looking for Dow, he'll watch on to this one.
15:08Sainz-Ain looking for Marshall, who knocks it down, oh, what an incredible goal line block that is from the
15:16captain, Chilicoa Mullan.
15:18Absolutely vital he was there to deny Scott Robinson.
15:23His top draw from Chilicoa Mullan, excellent again from Ryan Dow down the left-hand side.
15:28Marshall making that long run, late run to the back post, he's going for a goal but he's fortunate to
15:33land at Robinson.
15:34He thinks he's scored, he's beaten Oxbrook.
15:38Chilicoa Mullan, great defending on the line.
15:43Great awareness from the young central defender.
15:47And this time it's Nguena.
15:50He gets on the end of that one.
16:02We're used to Chilicoa Mullan playing on the right-hand side of the back three but interestingly it's John Todd
16:07that's taken up that position, James with Chilicoa Mullan in the sweeping role if you like.
16:13Yeah, surprised, I think, normally we see John Todd playing on the left.
16:17Handside, he's going over to the right, he's on a booking, Ryan Dow looks sharp and bright.
16:22I wonder if it's something that Nguena's been thinking about, just having that little tweak.
16:26Yeah, and there's Ryan Flynn straight at the goalkeeper, looking for a flag which didn't come.
16:33Ryan Flynn, not a likely goal scorer, it has to be said.
16:38Good play again, down the left-hand side, once again, Ryan Dow, love a little reverse pass, it's comfortable for
16:45Oxbrook.
16:46He's looking for a flag there but he's miles onside.
16:51Promising signs for Arbroath when they get forward.
17:00And Bryan came round the side of Morrison and managed to take enough of the ball.
17:05to satisfy the referee, and here they come again, the home side, it's into Flynn, now it's Marshall.
17:12Wilkie offers the support but Todd offers the cover.
17:15It's a good play from Matty Todd.
17:20Yeah, it's good recovery, because Wilkie got away from him.
17:24He gets back, he reads it, snuffs out the danger, having a lot of joy down the left-hand side,
17:30Arbroath.
17:31I know that doesn't come to him, Jack Wilkie, but certainly enjoying a good spell down the left-hand side.
17:39I think Chilicor Mullen and Todd might just have swapped, or maybe it could only be temporary, but certainly Chilicor
17:46Mullen's going out to the right just now.
17:48It makes sense, it's more comfortable for him. Todd can then go and Marshall, I know he's young.
17:54Go and be that central one, read the game, mop up, and allow Chilicor Mullen to go out and go
17:591v1, round out.
18:05Confirming fans, what a free kick and they're going to get it.
18:08The assistant flagging there as Cain goes down in a bit of pain.
18:13Wilkie yellow-carded for that, he looks aghast.
18:18Yeah, my initial thought is I'm not disputing whether it's a foul or not, I just think that Wilkie's
18:24maybe unaware that Cain's coming in, he's totally committed to getting a clearance in, and he may catch him.
18:31I think that's harsh on him, first thoughts.
18:36I think Marshall gets the ball.
18:42I don't think that's a yellow-card, I think that's very harsh on him.
18:46Can you imagine it's the assistant who's advised the referee of that as well?
18:51The assistant who's flagged for the free kick.
18:53And given the direction the ball goes, as you say, it does look like he gets plenty of it, but...
18:59Dunfermunt have got a free kick.
19:01Both will hope this does not prove costly, could be controversial.
19:09Dunfermunt looking to double their advantage in the tie here.
19:13As Matty Todd will swing it in low, it's flicked on by Cain.
19:16Comes to Chillicore Mullin, a bit of ball juggling.
19:20And just taken away from him at the last minute by McIntyre as he was poised to try and find
19:25the back of the net.
19:28He's such a good all-round player, Chillicore Mullin.
19:31He looks so comfortable taking the ball out of the air there.
19:34Yeah, I just couldn't get the half-yard he's looking for.
19:38I thought he was going to hit it with his left.
19:39Love a little fake and onto his right, but just too far ahead of him.
19:43Would you suggest that one way or the other he's going to end up...
19:46next season he'll be playing at a higher level in the Championship?
19:50Yeah, I think so. I think he's shown this season.
19:52For a young man, the attributes it has, his temperament looks good as well.
19:57He's got to do a bit of defending here to get back at Marshall.
20:01Too much in the cross.
20:08He'll be dreaming it, playing the Premiership potentially with the family.
20:11Yeah, absolutely. And lifting the cup as the captain.
20:24Cochrane just lifts that forward, McIntyre is offside.
20:29Cochrane just lifts that forward, McIntyre is offside.
20:44Colin Hamilton and David Gold.
20:50Quite like the start their side has made,
20:52albeit they haven't got the early goal that Dunfermline got in the first leg.
21:16caught there by Gilmer,
21:17not allowing the free kick to be taken quickly.
21:21Gilmer is down clutching his head.
21:24Spike being the one who is penalised.
21:29I just don't think he catches an arm in the face from Flint, but...
21:34He delays his jump to make sure he's jumping into Flint.
21:38There is frustration right now, he wants to take it early, but...
21:41Gilmer is down with a head knock, game has to stop.
21:58One by Chilicon Mullen, one by Todd, Kane will give chase here.
22:04O'Brien, here ahead of him.
22:07Abdullahi wins that above Cochrane, who stayed down.
22:12Both will continue though, Robinson just giving Todd a little nudge there.
22:25It's better for John Todd because he knows he's got help either side.
22:28He can face the play, he can be that central one.
22:32He's got his teammates either side of him.
22:34Marlon has to go out in that unfamiliar right-back slot at times.
22:38I know they're playing a back three,
22:39but Marty Todd's more attacking once they play higher up the pitch.
22:46Nice turn by Marty Todd.
22:51O'Brien is there first and guides it back to his goalkeeper.
22:58They're having too much of a rush at times, not for them to go behind.
23:01I know that's a great outlet for them.
23:04Kane, Morrison and Todd, but...
23:07I almost win it. Even when it's not on, almost every time they get it...
23:11that one extra pass where they draw the space.
23:17The power there from Abdullai, right.
23:23To keep that one in.
23:39Here's Andrew Todd up against Scott Stewart.
23:46Well, he did the first part well, Andrew Todd,
23:52but the execution of it wasn't quite up to scratch.
23:56He's got the option to roll this into the feet of Chris Kane.
23:58When he cuts back inside, maybe go and play that one too.
24:01You see him there.
24:03There's normally the target Kane.
24:05He's coming to link up the plate.
24:09This is outstanding from Andrew Todd.
24:26The referee took a moment and then awards a free kick to Don Furman.
24:33I think he could have let that go.
24:35Yeah, he could have watched him just a little too aggressive.
24:39Chris Kane in this challenge here.
24:43And then O'Brien over Morrison.
24:45Afterwards, but I suspect it's for that one.
24:51And Gwena.
24:55It's Wilkie who gets his head to it.
24:57Abdullai climbs well again.
25:01Wilkie thumps it over the halfway line.
25:04The one by Toller, but it'll be picked up by Marshall.
25:08Takes it well in his stride.
25:13The form he's been on.
25:15Probably entitled to go for goal, but well over the top.
25:18Yeah, he's more than capable.
25:20And as much as Todd wins it,
25:22Robinson just doing enough to make sure that he doesn't get the clearance.
25:26Marshall up on the seconds and certainly capable,
25:30but maybe just rushed it slightly knowing that he was running out of space behind him.
25:35He's more than complicado, but neither he was running out of space behind him.
25:42And now he's running out of space behind him.
25:51.
25:51Go Morrison!
25:59Fraser. Watson did well there to get in front of Morrison.
26:05Luke favourite, Flynn clips it for Marshall, who helps it on.
26:10John Todd gets it to his brother Andrew.
26:18Fraser is going to have to be careful here, he was under severe pressure from Robinson.
26:31Coffed in as well.
26:41Robinson already showed his worth and why he's in the team.
26:47Now it's McIntyre, Stewart making strides forward.
26:51Back to Cochrane, now Dow.
26:55And Guena.
26:58Important intervention.
27:00But just looking at this set-up again, I feel like it's almost a four at the back now.
27:07Yeah, it looks like it.
27:09I mean, the problem they have is the midfield.
27:12Marshall keeps picking up the ball in behind.
27:15Gilmour and Abdoulaye.
27:17It does look like they're back four.
27:20Chilico Mullen to the right-back.
27:22Robbie Fraser, left-back.
27:24Maybe just to try and get a hold of Ryan Dow, who started the game so well.
27:28That was hard.
27:29You know where it's going.
27:30You know, it's just a half break.
27:32You know, I really don't know why he's in that game.
27:35Just a half break.
27:42It's really hard.
27:43It's just a half break.
27:43It wasn't a whole.
27:43All right.
27:45It's like, I'm sorry.
27:46No, you know, I was just like, no, I'm sorry.
27:47I was just like, no, I'm sorry.
27:47I'm sorry.
27:48It was like, oh, yeah, of course.
27:50I don't think that's crazy.
27:50It's like, oh, yeah, of course.
27:58You know, we're starting to play this game.
28:02A lot of sent in to Abdullai, he's quickly closed down.
28:10Gwena hooks it clear.
28:14Stewart with enough pressure there on Todd.
28:53Scott Robinson was asking how many seconds he's going to hold it for, and I think he's actually been penalized
28:58for standing in the middle of the game.
28:58He was standing in a position that was making it awkward, let's say, for Oxborough to clear.
29:11That law since it was brought in, I've very, very rarely seen it actually used.
29:15They gave up after a couple of weeks, didn't they?
29:17Seem to be, yeah.
29:52I think, for example, he's still playing with a lot of rotation.
29:57But if the referee said that Scott Robinson was obstructing him, then it doesn't matter, but keep an eye on
30:09it, certainly.
30:17Andy Todd popping up on the right-hand side now, up against Wilkie here.
30:25Chilicoa-Mullenwell advanced, tried a little bit of skill but it didn't quite come off, and then he pulled back
30:32Corkton, who has a bit of a kick at him, which was needless.
30:44Yeah, he goes for a little bit of skill here, Chilicoa-Mullen, then a little sharp pull.
30:51He just tries to trip him up now, so he stands on his foot.
30:55Here's Chilicoa-Mullen going for the Desiree Dewey.
31:03Didn't quite come off this end, not quite.
31:07So that's Bergkamp and Dewey in two games.
31:18Here's Fraser looking to attack Stewart here.
31:30To Todd.
31:32Flikes that one in, but...
31:35Thomas O'Brien is like a magnet in that penalty area when it comes in.
31:42Be challenged by John Todd.
31:53How satisfied do you think Neil Lennon will be with his sides opening half hour?
31:57Yeah, well I think he'd be happy they're not behind, I don't think they played particularly well,
32:02I thought a bro started the better, clearly change of shape means he's unhappy about something,
32:08but he knows there's more to come from his team.
32:13More of an attacking threat, a bit more control in the game.
32:32Weekend action, well it's already begun really, but off the ball tomorrow from midday,
32:37and in sports sound with all the action.
32:43BBC Radio Scotland and sports scene premiership highlights on a little bit later,
32:49as a result of the Motherwell Hearts game kicking off later on.
32:53BBC One Scotland from 10.25, should be some good action on that.
33:11Here's Todd picking up in a decent area, but again, this final ball is marked to his usual standard.
33:19Yeah, I need to see it again, but I'm trying to figure out whether he actually goes for the shot
33:23here.
33:24Andrew Todd makes that decision as he turns.
33:30It's an over-hit cross.
33:33He's seen point of the ball, but you're right, maybe just that final decision.
33:39And the last one across his left foot just kind of made it into the near post.
33:43I think that's right, Andrew Todd just to clip that into an area, give them something to go and attack.
33:48Maybe Matty Todd can get in off the right-hand side and go and attack it.
33:53A mix-up there between Abdullahi and John Todd, but they got away with it.
33:58Andrew Todd doing well that time, and then Cochran catches Gilmour,
34:03referee looks to pulle the advantage, and now he's stopped it,
34:07and now he's popped Harry Cochran into the boot for the challenge on Gilmour.
34:13Yeah, he swatted it early, David Dickinson, he's late, Harry Cochran.
34:20Yeah, probably looked worse than what it is.
34:23It is a sore one, absolutely no doubt.
34:25I thought he'd maybe caught him higher, he catches him on the way down,
34:28Harry Cochran.
34:30Top of the foot, sore one, nonetheless.
34:33He's accepting of the yellow card.
34:36Yeah, there's absolutely no complaints from him.
34:38I thought he'd maybe caught him a bit higher and it could have been a lot worse,
34:44but I don't think that's the right decision for the referee for trying to play on as well.
34:56Let the golf fans among you work that one out.
34:59Come on, Al.
35:01Is it a happy Gilmour reference? Well done.
35:13You know how much I love my golf.
35:17Gilmour.
35:18Gilmour.
35:19He and Abdelai almost taking off each other's toes.
35:22This is Flynn.
35:25Robinson thinks he's gone offside and he's not gone for it,
35:27and that looked like an opening for our bros.
35:31Yeah, I think he's asking there, he's asking the assistant if he was offside.
35:37He's delighted, I think, with the response from the assistant in the near side.
35:41But you're right, it was an opportunity, Flint needs to play that forward quicker.
35:58There's Chris Keane going to pick up on that one.
36:01Looks into the middle, O'Brien's able to adjust his footing and get that one clear.
36:07Could have been awkward.
36:12Keane gets it back to Abdelai.
36:20Todd's kept that in, and he's got a good crossing.
36:24McAdams takes it off the head of Chris Keane.
36:27No, he digs that out really well, Matty Todd, number one before it.
36:30Chris Keane, go with your left foot.
36:33Put forward looking for McIntyre, well read by Nguenna.
36:38Good pace, not only to cloud the danger, but then to keep it in.
36:42But now it's been given away.
36:45And Abdelai gets it back.
36:50Pulling from Todd and Stewart there, the referee content to allow things to progress.
37:00McIntyre gets the break of the ball and it's just too high for Marshall.
37:04And out comes Oxborough.
37:06The second time of asking.
37:08And he's got the Dunfermline counter.
37:16It goes without saying how important the first goal could be tonight at Gayfield.
37:32Out to Fraser with a bit of space.
37:34McIntyre comes to try and close him, but Fraser's turned away from him.
37:40Keane just stands in the ball.
37:46Another breakdown in communication there in the Adroth ranks.
37:51As Gilmore gets it in to Keane.
38:12Todd back to Fraser.
38:15McIntyre slid in to deny on the time to get the ball in.
38:23There's lots of endeavour out there, that's for sure.
38:26He's got it.
38:41July 30 was fouled by Flynn there, but the referee didn't agree.
38:54Robinson gives chase for John Torr a yard or so ahead of him.
38:59.

39:44.
39:45Robinson was looking for a handball there, I think.
39:49Still felt like Rakintyre could have got on to it.
40:04Ratty Todd looking for options, just rolls it forward for Abdoulaye.
40:08He touches it on for Morrison, and into the path here.
40:13We have Todd once more, he might have just left a little bit on.
40:20Ryan Flynn, I think it is, is down.
40:25No, it's McIntyre, isn't it?
40:27Referee stop plate.
40:29I think it happens just behind David Dickinson, I don't know if he's turned it to watch the ball.
40:35It was a strong challenge from Ryan Todd, overrun the ball inside.
40:43I don't know if that's a forward goal.
40:46I don't know if that's a forward goal.
40:48Come on, get down here!
41:10Doe's been quieter since we mentioned him a lot in the opening ten minutes, I wonder if that's because of
41:15the adjustment that Fernand made.
41:17I was just thinking that when he started so bright, so much joy.
41:23Fairman right hand side, Chillicott Mulligan over there, playing right against them.
41:27Stopped them from having the same kind of influence.
41:36It's Flint for Stewart.
41:45We were from the full back.
42:05I'm starting to get the feeling I shouldn't have posed the question about whether we're going to get a goal
42:09bonanza tonight, Fadi.
42:12Well, it's better to be hopeful and positive than negative to say, yeah, we're probably going to get any goals.
42:19Certainly, it's not through lack of trying, lack of effort, energy.
42:23It's just that lacking in quality apart from Robinson's strike, which is expertly blocked by Chillicott Mulligan on the line.
42:31And that changes the game.
42:49Someone that's been here before.
42:50Someone that's been here before.
42:52Come on, show for it!
42:58Come on, show for it!
43:00Come on, show for it!
43:00Give it to me!
43:03Come on, show for it!
43:16Come on, show for it!
43:19.
43:19Flicked on by Todd and then by Keane.
43:22And Stewart able to get it away before Morrison can get on to it.
43:28Gilmour does well to get that to Fraser.
43:33Andrew Todd can't dig it out of his feet, but he might get another go at it here.
43:37He's giving that straight to Marshall.
43:41John Todd just had to be careful there, because Robinson was away.
43:58There's another example of Chillicothe Mullen on Ryan Dow,
44:03and he's brought his side forward to the referee,
44:06had a wee look at that and decided there was no foul.
44:09Likewise there, just Kane's got it back.
44:14Marty Todd up against Wilkie, gets a nick on it,
44:18and then O'Brien sends it behind for a Dunfermline corner.
44:24Oh, we can't believe he's not got a foul here, Andrew Todd.
44:26It's brilliant from Chillicothe Mullen driving forward.
44:31It's a little nudge.
44:34What you would expect from a centre-back and Craig Watson gonna cross him.
44:38They're not expecting it, I don't know if the referee sees it.
44:45Marty Todd then with the corner, drives it back post towards Andrew Todd.
44:53Abdulai back into the injured area, this John Todd takes a swing at it.
44:57And then over the top, via deflection, it was Gilmore who got the shot away in the end.
45:04Decent pressure at the end of the half from Dunfermline.
45:08Yeah, he finds himself in a great position here.
45:11John Todd just hooked back into the area.
45:16There's not much more he can do, the chest is down the way, it's in the one movement,
45:20the chest hit, it's a great block.
45:23And then another one followed up, Charlie Gilmore.
45:26And here come Ron Ferland once more.
45:28Andrew Todd may have taken a touch there.
45:31He's caught Robinson, but Abroath on the counter, it's McIntyre.
45:36But Fraser, brilliant covering.
45:39Not sure the pass was a perfect one, but nonetheless Robbie Fraser does everything required of him.
45:47And Andrew Todd goes into the notebook for the late challenger on Scott Robinson.
45:54Yeah, he's a bit of frustration, desperation from Andrew Todd.
45:59There's not a great deal of contact in it.
46:02He can't be sliding in like that.
46:15Final win at the opening 45.
46:18It's been as tight and closely fought as we expected.
46:36McIntyre onto Stewart.
46:54Here's Marshall.
46:58McIntyre, Stewart wants it.
47:01Still McIntyre.
47:05Gilmore gets his head to it.
47:07He's going to try and see this out of play.
47:09Oh, there she is!
47:11Well, in the end they managed to do so.
47:14Became the meat and the sandwich there.
47:21Wow.
47:23I mean, what a heavy challenge this is for Scott Stewart.
47:26Gilmore doesn't see him.
47:28Full-blooded Thunley Marshall in the back.
47:32Scott Stewart in the front.
47:33Gilmore's got no idea that Stewart's coming.
47:35It's full-blooded that.
47:42And a minute of added on time at the end of this first half.
47:47Charlie Gilmore recovers.
47:50He's got no idea.
47:53He's got no idea.
48:02He's got no idea.
48:05He's got no idea.
48:07He's got no idea.
48:07He's got no idea.
48:07He's got no idea.
48:07He's got no idea.
48:07He's got no idea.
48:08He's got no idea.
48:08He's got no idea.
48:09He's got no idea.
48:10He's got no idea.
48:11He's got no idea.
48:12He's got no idea.
48:18He's got no idea.
48:22There's a half-time whistle, a goalless first half at Gayfield.
48:27Scott Robinson coming closest for the home side.
48:31He saw his early effort cleared off the line by Jeremiah Chilicoa-Mullen.
48:36John Todd had a sighted goal at the other end, took a swipe at it,
48:40and then Charlie Gilmore on the rebound had a shot deflected over.
48:46But neither side has been able to find a goal
48:50that might change the complexion of this playoff quarterfinal
48:55as Neil Lennon begins to make his way down the tunnel.
49:00It is half-time here, and it's Abwroth-0, Dunfermline-0.
