Good evening. Nearly four months into the season, the difference is | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
only 14 points between top and bottom. Talking of bottom of the | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
league, the Dundee captain joins me in the studio. We will start at the | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
top, and Celtic's attempt to put an end to the recurring theme of the | :00:37. | :00:46. | |
Celtic with the throw. Hoping to get off a good start. They have had | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
get off a good start. They have had their problems after their European | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
:00:58. | :01:02. | ||
opened up well. Wanyama battled hard for it. An easy save in the | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
:01:12. | :01:33. | ||
layback from Hooper. Foran throwing themselves and Tudur-Jones comes | :01:33. | :01:43. | |
forward. Shinnie goes himself. Caley Thistle's top scorer taking | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
:01:53. | :02:06. | ||
trick against St Johnstone in the League Cup. Just went too quick | :02:06. | :02:16. | |
:02:16. | :02:25. | ||
goal. It is Lustig who sends it wide. All credit to the full back | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
for coming up in support. He perhaps should have left that for | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
:02:38. | :02:51. | ||
Motherwell ended a nine-game have the lead at Celtic Park with | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
64 minutes played and Billy MacKay gets on the end of a lovely pass | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
:03:05. | :03:07. | ||
He took both out with that touch. And the touch on for Mackay. He was | :03:08. | :03:17. | |
:03:18. | :03:26. | ||
come off Raven in the end. The cross over was a good one. Samaras, | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
:03:36. | :03:43. | ||
it did hit Raven that is a good is off the post by Warren. That is | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
a vital interception. Gets the break, that it came off the post. | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
:03:58. | :04:29. | ||
to the joy of the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper came. It was knocked | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
away. That is another free kick. Here come I Inverness Caledonian | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
Thistle. The move forward. Billy Mackay is inside him. With a chance | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
for two. Aaron Doran, no! That should have been 2-0. Initially off | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
the bar by Billy McKay. He wanted all day and they should have been | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
two head. Nobody could begrudge two head. Nobody could begrudge | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Terry Butcher his celebration at Celtic Park after words. We all | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
remember the Scottish Cup but this is their first ever league win at | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
Celtic Park. Sometimes when there's an away win at Celtic Park it gets | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
forgotten because Celtic didn't play well, but I think for someone | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
like Terry, seven games into the season may have not won a game. It | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
was difficult for them. Many people thought he might be looking for a | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
new job. It has been a dramatic turnaround. Is from four, Billy | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
McKay, Andrew Shinnie, a lot of talent. They have certainly caused | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
problems. Some people wondered how Inverness would react to being | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
beaten by Motherwell. That is probably one of the best games they | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
could have gone into on the back of that result. Going to Parkhead, | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
there is no pressure on you. It is easy to lift yourself for that game. | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
Taking nothing away from them, they go and beat the champions. I was at | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
the game for Radio Scotland and Celtic were susceptible to counter- | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
attack in the second half. The game became stretched, and Billy Mackay | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
got the goal. That is what happens. When you have your chances you need | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
to take them. When Neil Lennon looks back, he'll realise this is a | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
bad one to lose. Charlie Mulgrew plays him onside. The game opened | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
up. That suits Inverness. They can play counter-attacking football. | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
They could have had a second. That would have been harsh many, but | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
they were well worthy of getting something from the game. Normally | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
when you go to Celtic Park they dominate possession. You need to | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
ride your luck. Things need to go your way. It certainly went their | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
way. Going into the midweek matches, Inverness could go joint top of the | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
league. It is very impressive for a team like that to be in that | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
position. More impressive is they have scored probably the most | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
amount of goals in the league, but they have conceded a lot as well. | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
To be in the position they have been for conceding so many goals is | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
testament to the players. They are obviously scoring goals. That is | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
seven games out of 14 in the league this season in which they have | :07:21. | :07:31. | |
:07:31. | :07:31. | ||
The home matches that have meant lost points, strayed on the back of | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
Champions League games.And will be looking for a reason why. The | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
Champions League takes a lot out of players, it's not an excuse, it's a | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
fact. It is the manner they are giving goals away. That will | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
frustrate him. As much as that is a great finish, it is from a set- | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
piece. Celtic have lots of big players, you can win those balls. | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
Celtic giving away possession cheaply. They give the opposition a | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
left. If you do that, you struggle. The last thing Celtic want to do | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
his chase the game. That does not suit them. Here is another | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
individual mistake. Celtic have usually been defensive. The only | :08:17. | :08:27. | |
:08:27. | :08:28. | ||
conceded 21 goals last season. Already they conceded 13. When you | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
going to Parkhead as the opposition. When you go there, you need to keep | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
it tight, the fans can quickly turn if you get the first goal. I would | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
imagine it's hard enough playing in front of 5,000 fans turning against | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
you, when you have 44,000 turning against that must be difficult. | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
These players should be able to handle it. A couple fans did turn | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
against Neil Lennon. Are they not happy with beating Barcelona? | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
know, it's amazing how one result changes things. Expectations are a | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
lot higher. I think Neil Lennon is just asking for a bit of patients. | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
They are still in all the cups, last 16 of the Champions League, | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
top of the SPL and did not hit top form. He's looking for a bit of | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
patience. Enjoy the football. You cannot win every game. Steven was | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
not quite ready for his comeback yesterday. Could Dundee continued | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
their recent revival? Ahead of kick-off, the Brummie a point | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
behind St Mirren and the gloves were off. -- Dundee were a point | :09:40. | :09:50. | |
:09:50. | :10:08. | ||
behind. It is brilliant. Motherwell are on the ropes. We will stay in | :10:08. | :10:18. | |
:10:18. | :10:19. | ||
this division this year. It's a fight for survival. Second round. | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
St Mirren and Dundee squaring up to each other. John McGinn to take the | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
each other. John McGinn to take the corner kick. Steven Thompson met | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
that at the near post and struck it off the upright. St Mirren almost | :10:29. | :10:37. | |
taking an early lead. Riley will latch onto the end of that pass. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
It's a good cross, Stevie Milne with the chance, and St Mirren | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
managed to hack it clear. Really good opportunity here for Milne. | :10:48. | :10:58. | |
:10:58. | :11:03. | ||
bad challenge by Colin Nish! Willie Collum, that's a straight red for | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
Colin Nish. It did look like a nasty challenge. Dundee's task is | :11:10. | :11:20. | |
:11:20. | :11:30. | ||
round the goalkeeper. There's Steven Thompson coming in, St | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
Mirren in front in the basement battle! Terrific passing from St | :11:33. | :11:43. | |
:11:43. | :11:56. | ||
makes himself a little bit of room. That's a fine shot and a really | :11:57. | :12:05. | |
good save by Rab Douglas. He keeps the score at 1-0. Lovely skill by | :12:05. | :12:15. | |
:12:15. | :12:17. | ||
young John McGinn. So nearly found advantage. It falls for Kenny | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
McLean. Douglas doing just enough to turn around the post. Kenny | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
McLean, we've seen him score from distance already this season. Riley | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
running at the St Mirren defence. Craig Samson has beaten that one | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
away. He didn't fancy trying to hold on to it. Safety-first from | :12:42. | :12:52. | |
:12:52. | :12:55. | ||
Steven Thompson, good save by Rab Douglas! He really has kept his | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
side in the match, the big keeper. Headed on by Gallagher, Stevie | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
Milne. Claims for handball. It looked like Willie Collum was going | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
to signal for the corner but he's given a penalty kick. He shows why, | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Jim Goodwin had his hands in the air. Stevie Milne whacked it off | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
them. A chance for Dundee to equalise through Ryan Conroy. He's | :13:21. | :13:31. | |
:13:31. | :13:32. | ||
done it! Dundee right back in this have drawn level. It is all to play | :13:32. | :13:42. | |
:13:42. | :13:45. | ||
manager. St Mirren have dominated the game. They find themselves | :13:45. | :13:55. | |
:13:55. | :14:03. | ||
Mirren. Gary Teale will be the man to deliver. Curled towards the | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
front post, it's Steven Thompson once more! A double for Thompson, | :14:06. | :14:16. | |
:14:16. | :14:19. | ||
Thompson. He just managed to angle the ball forwards. Danny Lennon's | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
side have the advantage once more. Gary Teale's corner almost found | :14:24. | :14:34. | |
:14:34. | :14:41. | ||
Gary Teale, but it was missed by chase. Imrie looking to make the | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
points safe, and he has! Three minutes to go and a third goal for | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
the home side. It's the substitute, Dougie Imrie, always looking to | :14:53. | :15:02. | |
turn back onto his favoured left the slightest deflection off Conroy | :15:02. | :15:12. | |
:15:12. | :15:13. | ||
second goal himself. Plays it across goal, and Gallagher doing | :15:13. | :15:23. | |
:15:23. | :15:28. | ||
well to put that somehow over his since you played. What is the | :15:28. | :15:38. | |
:15:38. | :15:39. | ||
It's been a three month problem. It is not an viry. It is more a | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
medical condition that caused inflammation to go through my body. | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
It was a difficult one to diagnose. But I'm on medication for it now | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
and I'm on top of it and hopefully I will be back soon. You have had a | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
groin problem too. But you're training and hoping to be back soon. | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
I hope to be in training this week and see thousand rest of my body is | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
-- how the, the rest of my body is fine. I have a groin problem. I | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
will see if can I get back N it has been a frustrating three months. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
How painful was yesterday to watch, having got to close to St Mirren in | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
seven out of nine game and losing that one. Yes, it was a big chance | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
to go there and come off the bottom of the table. It is a hard one to | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
take. Now we go from being one point behind to four. But we have | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
got to take the positives. We went for so long with ten men and | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
managed to compete well. And obviously, now we are four points | :16:43. | :16:50. | |
we have proved that coming from eight points, that we can take | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
confidence even yesterday. ending off of McNish was a big | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
moment. This a case for the defence? Obviously I'm biased and | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
defence? Obviously I'm biased and try to defend them. Having spoken | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
to him, I know he is not malicious, I don't think he has went to thurt | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
boy. But can I understand why the refees sent him off. I don't think | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
that is most difficult red card I have seen. You can defend him, but | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
the evidence is there. Colin's lost the ball and he has went and tried | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
to get it back. If he play the ball he can get away with it. Because | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
the foot goes over the top. Its not the spwepbts. But the rules are if | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
you go in and raise your studs and it is dangerous, then you're off | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
that. Changes the dynamics of game. You were in the game. We didn't | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
start great, but that was just as we were coming into the game. So we | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
had to then readjust and I think we lost the first goal after that. | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
Which probably is why. This was Thompson getting the opening goal. | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
Obviously, at this point it is difficult to get back. Yes it is. | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
It is hard enough away from home, with eleven men, you go down to ten | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
it is difficult. But loads of positive. In the highlights it | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
looks as if St Mirren have battered us, but I felt we were comfortable. | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
And we actually get back in the game and probably if we hold on for | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
another five minute we may get a point. We shouldn't ignore the two | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
sides of the coin. Your old team, St Mirren, it is a massive result. | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
Yes, going into the game on the back of six defeats. If they had | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
lost yesterday it could have had ramifications for the manager and | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
players. They now look above themselves and they have a four | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
point gap and they go to Dingwall and if they can win that, they are | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
closing on to the top six. But it was important the players showed | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
what they were about. That Isola the younger players and the fans | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
needed. You have a veteran goalkeeper, he will love me for | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
referring to him that as' - as that. But he has been great. Yes you | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
don't play at the level he has played at without being a very good | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
keeper. It is not, in this game he has pulled off two good saves at | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
times when we needed them. But he has done that all season. Are the | :19:28. | :19:38. | |
:19:38. | :19:41. | ||
players in good spirits about comeling -- spirits about coming | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
back? Yes I feel they have found their feet. And yesterday, six or | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
seven games ago if we had gone down to ten men we may have gone down. | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
But now it is a lot beer the. the Derby soon, how good a fixture | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
this a to play in? As long as I play it is good. You played in this | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
one. It was a great occasion. You have seen it us with a full house | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
at Tannadice. The result wasn't great for us, but a great fixture | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
to be involved in. There is Mr Nasty. It is just a wee stretch | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
more than anything. I think that was worse, Ritchie Ryan there. | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
looked miserable at the time. It was understandable being shown a | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
red card. But it was wiped from your record. Yes. No Mr Nasty. | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
Celtic losing, Hix had the chance to reclaim top spot if they could | :20:42. | :20:52. | |
:20:52. | :21:03. | ||
He was looking for the back post. Aberdeen's top goal scorer. The | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
Dons looking to bounce back from defeat at Celtic last week. Hibs of | :21:06. | :21:16. | |
:21:16. | :21:26. | ||
Doyle beat Jamie Langfield from a similar kind of area at Pittodrie | :21:26. | :21:36. | |
:21:36. | :21:47. | ||
in the match earlier in the season knew little about it. Came off the | :21:47. | :21:57. | |
:21:57. | :22:13. | ||
Jamie Langfield another question. It was Doyle earlier, Griffiths | :22:13. | :22:22. | |
this time, the SPL's top goal scorer. That is good skill. Didn't | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
quite get behind that one as he would have liked. He's scored 13 | :22:26. | :22:36. | |
:22:36. | :22:54. | ||
times so far, Lee Griffiths. Hibs between the two at the start of | :22:54. | :23:04. | |
:23:04. | :23:04. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds | :23:04. | :23:49. | |
second half. Spectacular effort It's not happening for him - the | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
now Scotland international. He did get Hibs' consolation against | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
:24:01. | :24:02. | ||
Dundee last week to keep his own fine form going. Oh Fallon! He | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
scored a stunner against Hibs in the Scottish Cup semi-final between | :24:05. | :24:15. | |
:24:15. | :24:29. | ||
the teams last season, the half are in front. Very much against the | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
run of play. But the Dons fans - who are here in their numbers again | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
- don't care about that. They care that their team are 1-0 up and | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
heading towards second in the league. Niall McGinn's eighth goal | :24:40. | :24:50. | |
:24:50. | :25:12. | ||
but it was always rising from the not given. Caldwell's shot blocked | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
by Reynolds. It came down off Stevenson, Hanlon's flick doesn't | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
:25:26. | :25:27. | ||
Hibs are feeling sore about how much they had of the game only to | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
lose. But it is a bonus for Aberdeen when you have soak up so | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
much pressure and McGinn gets the goal. Yes Aberdeen can go from | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
defence to midfield. They have pace and energy. They're more dynamic | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
and they have a final product. Yes, then done OK in certain areas and | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
defend well. Now with McGinn on form, they look a threat. They a | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
team that could go top of the league in midweek, do you like what | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
you see in Aberdeen? Yes to be honest, the fact they have went to | :26:04. | :26:12. | |
Hibs and won without big players for them like Rae and Hughes, and | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
Fraser. That is testament to them to go to Hibs, a hard place to go, | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
and win with three key players. When we look at how busy Jamie | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
Langfield was in game tells us Langfield was in game tells us | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
about the pressure Hibs had. I read in the paper about Russell Anderson | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
saying how pleasing it was to not play well and get a result. So | :26:37. | :26:44. | |
they're hung Troy get clean sheets. One thing for Hibs, if you watch | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
the highlights, it is all about Griffiths and if he is not scoring, | :26:48. | :26:56. | |
Hibs look soft up front. Vy -- every good bit of play it all about | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
Griffiths and teams realise if you can stop his threat, you can beat | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
them. Craig Brown spoke about it and said they had a big job f they | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
could stop Griffiths, they could win. He was with you at Dundee. How | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
much has Lee Griffiths improved? lot and he has matured a lot. He | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
used to get involved in things off the ball and interacting with fans. | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
You don't see that from him now. And everything he touches now turns | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
either a goal or a chance and he is a good player to have in your team. | :27:29. | :27:36. | |
The Hibs fans were getting excited about a penalty claim against | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
Anderson. I think even they will realise it is his chest. I think | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
the word desperation comes to mind. Because they had done so well, it | :27:44. | :27:50. | |
is their last attack. You can see the ball changes direction and puts | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
Russell off and he moves his hands back. It is more desperation in | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
trying to get something. Because of the bad performance at Dundee, they | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
were looking to bounce back and get a result. I think they got a good | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
performance, but the result was not good. There was just a point | :28:09. | :28:18. | |
:28:19. | :28:39. | ||
between St Johnstone and Kilmarnock they were down to ten men. Pascali | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
was sent off. It loobd like he got the ball, but the referee produced | :28:45. | :28:52. | |
a red card. The Kilmarnock manager was less than impressed with that | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
decision and after contesting another, he was sent from the dug | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
out. Although as permitted, he stood close to where he started the | :29:00. | :29:08. | |
match. This game didn't lack talking points at first chance. | :29:08. | :29:14. | |
Tesselaar hees challenge on McLean looked a bad one. The referee was | :29:14. | :29:22. | |
well placed, no yellow, and another look indicates that was a good call. | :29:22. | :29:28. | |
And so on to other matters, such as goals and St Johnstone took | :29:28. | :29:38. | |
:29:38. | :29:38. | ||
advantage of having an extra man. Davidson was set up. Tay day may | :29:38. | :29:46. | |
have scuffed the shot, but Davidson grabbed his fifth of the season. In | :29:46. | :29:53. | |
the second half, Killie's peserverance paid off. Dayton with | :29:53. | :30:00. | |
the ball into the area and Nelson rose well for the equaliser. A | :30:00. | :30:03. | |
point apiece may have been a fair result. Kilmarnock played most of | :30:03. | :30:10. | |
the game with ten men and fought back. But in the last minute, Vine | :30:10. | :30:16. | |
grabbed the winner. It was cruel for Kilmarnock, St Johnstone's late | :30:16. | :30:26. | |
:30:26. | :30:31. | ||
winner saw them stretch their allowed to say things about St | :30:31. | :30:36. | |
Johnstone that a nice, but it's a good season for them. Yes, good | :30:36. | :30:46. | |
:30:46. | :30:47. | ||
character in the team to come back from a bad start to the season. | :30:47. | :30:50. | |
players and the manager were under a bit of pressure, so to go on the | :30:50. | :30:55. | |
run they have gone his credit to them. They have Caldwell of | :30:55. | :31:00. | |
absentees. Sometimes I meet him at games, the manager, and he always | :31:00. | :31:07. | |
says he wants another player. If you look at the front four, every | :31:07. | :31:13. | |
manager in the SPL would like them. Craig Beattie has not played yet. | :31:13. | :31:21. | |
Yes. He has built a good squad. Murray Davidson is starting to get | :31:21. | :31:27. | |
more goals. He was always threatening that but the site as a | :31:27. | :31:30. | |
really good balance. Sometimes when you play against a side that goes | :31:30. | :31:35. | |
down to ten men it becomes difficult. The players go back a | :31:35. | :31:41. | |
bed and try and slow the game down. Ten men try a bit harder. So to | :31:41. | :31:46. | |
concede a goal and then get the winner, a great character. What did | :31:46. | :31:51. | |
you make of the sending off of Manuel Pascali? Similar to last, an | :31:51. | :31:55. | |
easy decision. I find it hard as a player to say it's a sending off | :31:55. | :32:00. | |
because he catches the ball clearly and he doesn't work the player. By | :32:00. | :32:04. | |
the loss of the game, the referee is well within his right to send | :32:04. | :32:10. | |
him off. -- by the rules. Kenny Shiels was saying the other manager | :32:10. | :32:16. | |
was in the year off the referee. He was explaining his view. Between | :32:16. | :32:22. | |
them, they went for the red card. He was not happy about it. Was that | :32:22. | :32:27. | |
the right decision? If the 4th official is involved, that's fine. | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
But the officials need to help the referee make decisions. The fact | :32:31. | :32:36. | |
that Kenny did the press conference right after the game, losing it in | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
the last minute coupled with the sending off, he's very animated, | :32:39. | :32:44. | |
passionate. He loves football, lots speaking about it. When he sees | :32:44. | :32:51. | |
that back and sits down, if you go with two feet, inevitably it is a | :32:51. | :32:56. | |
sending off. Manuel Pascali have to understand you cannot go in a bad | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
ball city and make that kind of tackle. Kenny Shiels explained he | :32:59. | :33:03. | |
could not sit down in the stands because of his piles. That was | :33:03. | :33:08. | |
probably too much detail. Dundee United seem to have a habit of | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
going a goal down before the kick into gear. Yesterday they played | :33:11. | :33:21. | |
:33:21. | :33:25. | ||
league matches at home, but Dundee United threatened early on. An | :33:26. | :33:33. | |
understanding between Jon Daly and John Russell. Peter Houston wanted | :33:33. | :33:43. | |
:33:43. | :33:47. | ||
Radoslav she is the act did well to tip it over. -- Radoslaw Cierzniak | :33:47. | :33:52. | |
early in the second half, he was beaten. The punch fell to Richie | :33:52. | :33:56. | |
Britain. Really good work by the captain and Iain Vigurs scored a | :33:56. | :34:05. | |
header to beat the keeper. A good ball in, and Iain Vigurs's glancing | :34:05. | :34:11. | |
header caught out there Polish keeper. 1-0 up, but their manager | :34:11. | :34:15. | |
looked relaxed. His mood may have changed, as that fire Dundee United | :34:15. | :34:21. | |
up. Stuart Armstrong chased the long ball. Great work for men to | :34:21. | :34:26. | |
set up Jon Daly. The finish was disappointing. Dundee United have | :34:26. | :34:30. | |
shown they are capable of fighting back. They did it against | :34:30. | :34:36. | |
Kilmarnock last weekend and Celtic this month. Erratic again. Michael | :34:36. | :34:39. | |
Fraser tried to be Johnny Russell to the ball but Johnny Russell won | :34:39. | :34:47. | |
the race. It was John Rankin with the long punt. It goal of the | :34:47. | :34:57. | |
:34:57. | :35:03. | ||
better. The ball to Jon Daly, who set up Stuart Armstrong for a | :35:03. | :35:13. | |
:35:13. | :35:17. | ||
Daly to have a shot at goal. The downward header to Armstrong was | :35:17. | :35:22. | |
clever. That was his first goal of the season. He almost grab the | :35:22. | :35:29. | |
second. The ball was cleared but straight to him. Fraser got to that | :35:29. | :35:37. | |
one and Dundee United took all You started your career with Dundee | :35:37. | :35:41. | |
United. They seem to like a challenge. Three times this month | :35:41. | :35:46. | |
they have gone a goal behind before the start playing. It very | :35:46. | :35:53. | |
difficult especially in the Premier League, when you call a goal down. | :35:53. | :35:57. | |
I think they're getting away with that because of players like Johnny | :35:57. | :36:03. | |
Russell. Gary Mackay Stephen, players that break at real pace. It | :36:03. | :36:08. | |
is difficult to play against them. With daily up front they have | :36:09. | :36:15. | |
Goals. It's not a habit Peter Houston well what his team to get | :36:15. | :36:19. | |
into. He will be glad that when the team got behind they can get back | :36:19. | :36:26. | |
into the game, but somewhere you become unstuck. You become stifled. | :36:26. | :36:34. | |
They get caught on the counter- attack, but maybe it suits their | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
type of player. Somewhere along the line they will come up against a | :36:38. | :36:42. | |
defence that are difficult to break down. They are mid-table, will we | :36:42. | :36:48. | |
be higher? I would have, and I expect them to be higher at the end | :36:48. | :36:53. | |
of the season. If they cut out losing a goal, they have the | :36:53. | :36:58. | |
players on their team that can make goals. They should be challenging | :36:58. | :37:05. | |
at the top. You had a loan at Ross County, how much did you enjoy | :37:05. | :37:13. | |
that? Really enjoyed it, everyone speaks about it in high regard. | :37:13. | :37:20. | |
They probably came into the lead and adapted quicker than Dundee. | :37:20. | :37:25. | |
They will be disappointed with the position they are in. A lot of the | :37:25. | :37:29. | |
games, they have been in winning positions, again yesterday, they | :37:29. | :37:33. | |
were a goal up. They have turned into draws from winning positions. | :37:33. | :37:39. | |
They will be a bit disappointed. Motherwell went back into the top | :37:39. | :37:49. | |
:37:49. | :37:55. | ||
six with a win in Inverness. This with a victory at Fir Park, after a | :37:55. | :37:59. | |
convincing win in Inverness. But it's Hearts on the attack through | :37:59. | :38:04. | |
Jamie Walker. Through a trio of Motherwell players, then brought | :38:04. | :38:08. | |
crashing to the ground. Shaun Hutchinson amongst the guilty | :38:08. | :38:17. | |
parties there. A real chance for Hearts from the free kick. Grainger | :38:18. | :38:20. | |
and Stevenson over it. It is Stevenson who goes for goal. Good | :38:21. | :38:30. | |
:38:31. | :38:46. | ||
save Darren Randolph. Well struck for Darren Barr. A deflection there, | :38:46. | :38:50. | |
and Randolph collects and catches Paterson in the process. It looked | :38:50. | :38:56. | |
a nasty one. Randolph does seem to flick out the leg on the follow- | :38:56. | :39:06. | |
:39:06. | :39:16. | ||
through. That looks a sore one for appears. Humphrey gets it back to | :39:16. | :39:26. | |
:39:26. | :39:30. | ||
Hateley. Henrik Ojamaa against Marius Zaliukas. Trying to find | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
Hateley again. Breaks back for Humphrey. That's a good looking | :39:34. | :39:36. | |
ball, Higdon rises.. MacDonald taking no chances, pushing it | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
behind for the corner. Again, Higdon getting the better of the | :39:40. | :39:50. | |
:39:50. | :39:56. | ||
Hearts defenders in the air. Jamie ball. That's a lovely shuffle of | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
the feet. Decent enough try, but Darren Randolph got everything | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
behind it. Motherwell try to mount a quick counter-attack. Jamie | :40:03. | :40:09. | |
Murphy moving apace. He tries to pick out Higton. Maybe a touch | :40:09. | :40:12. | |
heavy with the pass. Higdon back for Murphy once more, deflected | :40:12. | :40:20. | |
wide. Chances at both ends. Murphy leading the charge. Michael Higdon | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
almost managing to get round the keeper. Jamie MacDonald doing well | :40:23. | :40:33. | |
:40:33. | :40:38. | ||
Chris Humphrey tries to do something about that. Again, given | :40:38. | :40:41. | |
the chance to run at McGowan. Good try from Humphrey, MacDonald equal | :40:41. | :40:51. | |
:40:51. | :40:56. | ||
Higdon was there at the near post. He couldn't fashion a shot. Would | :40:56. | :41:05. | |
have been trouble for Jamie feel he should have hit the target | :41:05. | :41:08. | |
there. That was a really good there. That was a really good | :41:08. | :41:18. | |
:41:18. | :41:19. | ||
I thought year-old team would have won that one off the back a 5-1 in | :41:19. | :41:25. | |
Inverness. It's been a frustrating time for them at home. Taking | :41:25. | :41:30. | |
yesterday's game, they have not won at home for a while. All that was | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
good last week, the from four, Chris Humphrey, Michael Higdon, | :41:34. | :41:40. | |
Jamie Murphy, they were the catalyst. That meant Motherwell got | :41:40. | :41:45. | |
a good victory. Yesterday, they were a bit flat. They did not | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
breach the defence. They did not carry a threat. Ultimately the end | :41:48. | :41:56. | |
up with a point. This is your first appearance. The latest case is the | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
one against Darren Randolph, who did not get any card for this. Lots | :41:59. | :42:04. | |
of Hearts fans are raging about this. When I see it, he can go by | :42:04. | :42:09. | |
the player without touching him. Steven will probably disagree, but | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
he kicks out and I don't like to say that players have led to | :42:12. | :42:15. | |
deliberately hurt someone, and I don't think he really hurts him | :42:15. | :42:21. | |
badly, but he could bowl -- he could go by him without kicking out. | :42:21. | :42:26. | |
You will stick up for your path. was expecting it Patterson to catch | :42:26. | :42:32. | |
him. I think he put his leg out for protection. The pictures bowl the | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
Great, let's be honest. There was no intent to hurt her more kick him | :42:37. | :42:44. | |
in the face. When he realises he's made contact, he pulls his leg in. | :42:44. | :42:49. | |
Fortunately he did not get hurt. If he had done it, he would have | :42:49. | :42:59. | |
:42:59. | :43:02. | ||
kicked his head off. Dundee usually beat Hearts. Yes, we have been | :43:02. | :43:08. | |
lucky. Hearts have one of the best defensive records in the league, a | :43:08. | :43:15. | |
very experienced back four. They are very hard to break down. It is | :43:15. | :43:18. | |
not at the defensive deficiencies that there at the bottom of the | :43:18. | :43:25. | |
table. They are not scoring enough goals. It could not be tighter at | :43:25. | :43:35. | |
