It has been around since the end of the 19th century and an annual | :00:27. | :00:36. | |
figure -- fixture at since the 90s. Scotland against Ireland. For the | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
last couple of years it has been the men in green who dominated. | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
:00:52. | :00:52. | ||
Last weekend it was the same old story as Ireland started best. | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
Scotland fought back and they have a real chance of taking the series | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
if they win today. Welcome to bought part in Inverness. Scotland | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
:01:14. | :01:18. | ||
need to win to stand a chance of claiming the trophy. Thank you for | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
joining us for what should be a fantastic occasion. We are joined | :01:24. | :01:34. | |
:01:34. | :01:37. | ||
by Fraser Ingle's -- Fraser Inglis. The Irish usually catch and kicked | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
the ball and they cannot do this today. There are 14 players each | :01:42. | :01:52. | |
side, shinty is usually two more. As far as the points in the game go, | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
it is 1.4 over the bar in normal play and two points from over the | :01:59. | :02:09. | |
:02:09. | :02:09. | ||
bar in three play. If you get a goal it is three points. Goals are | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
quite valuable. This is the second leg, the first leg was last week in | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
Ireland. Owen Kelly for the Irish racked up quite a lot of points. He | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
is missing today. He made a big difference last week. He will be a | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
:02:38. | :02:41. | ||
big loss for Ireland. They are more than capable. Owen Nolan also got | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
on the scoresheet, scoring for Ireland. He took that ball first | :02:47. | :02:57. | |
time. He did not allow the Scotland defence to close him down. Scotland | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
fought back. They had one player who put four points into the | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
Scotland cause. You can see here he was composed and a great shot hits | :03:12. | :03:21. | |
the root of the -- the roof of the net. Gary Innes scored a second for | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
the Scots here? That right. It makes it competitive. These late | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
goals made up a bit of the difference. There is only five | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
points of a difference now. That leaves Scotland in fine fettle and | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
I talked to their captain today. You have got a few young guys in | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
the team, how do you assess their performance so far? It was a | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
learning curve for them. Those conditions did not quite suit us. | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
Long grass and a lot of sand in it and the wind played quite a factor | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
as well. Today conditions are much better for us and hopefully we can | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
stick to the Sinn take skills we usually do and start to put more | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
points over the bar this week. I think the difference last week was | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
we were unable to take our chances of when we had a chance. How big a | :04:21. | :04:31. | |
player will Owen Kelly be today? is a loss. We are not too worried | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
though we will just focus on who we have got rather than who we have | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
lost. What is the game plan today? The plan is to go out and win this | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
match. We are not too worried about last week. We know it will be more | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
important what we do today. what changes have you made? We have | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
made a few tweaks to the team having looked at the whole squad. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
Hopefully we will go out there and when this today. The pitch could | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
not be better for us so why am really confident we can go out and | :05:10. | :05:18. | |
do this today. It is a good atmosphere at the Park today. | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
Fraser Inglis is still with me. What do the Scottish team have to | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
do to succeed here today? It was mentioned in the last interview, | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
they have to take advantage of their two. Opportunities. | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
Conditions were difficult for them last week to be fair. Conditions | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
are fine for them today. They have to make up the difference. If they | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
could get a goal -- if Ireland get a goal at the start to the | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
difference would then be eight points. Scotland have do make a | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
difference early on. Scotland have a good chance. Owen Kelly is a big | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
loss for Ireland. But hopefully we will see a Scottish victory. | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
should be a fantastic occasion. I will hand you over now to our | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
commentary team, Fraser Mackenzie the former Scotland coach and hour | :06:24. | :06:34. | |
:06:34. | :06:36. | ||
match commentator, Hugh Dan It is always a pleasure to welcome | :06:36. | :06:46. | |
:06:46. | :06:54. | ||
our Celtic cousins from Ireland to Bught Park. Allan Sutherland from | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
Marine Harvest being introduced to the Ireland team by their captain. | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
There is a stiff breeze from left to right as we watch the game. Left | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
to right as we look across the setting of Inverness. The town is | :07:17. | :07:27. | |
:07:27. | :07:30. | ||
to our right. I am joined by a man with plenty of experience of this | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
kind of thing, Fraser Mackenzie, he has a big track record as a manager | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
and assistant manager on these occasions. Scotland have to come | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
back this week. Their mental State and focus must be right for the | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
game today. They have got one chance to make things right. The | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
Irish will be the same. They will want to go back with a win. It is | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
the second Test of course, I went to Ireland in the first Test last | :08:06. | :08:16. | |
:08:16. | :08:30. | ||
week. -- when it to Ireland. -- a win to Ireland last week. First, we | :08:31. | :08:40. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds | :08:41. | :09:43. | |
IRISH NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS. A great reception as ever for the | :09:43. | :09:53. | |
:09:53. | :10:23. | ||
Irish will stop now, Flower of The old flower of Scotland, when | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
will we see, your like again? Who fought and died for your wee bit | :10:31. | :10:41. | |
:10:41. | :10:47. | ||
hill and glen. We stood against them, Edwards army, and sent them | :10:47. | :10:57. | |
:10:57. | :10:59. | ||
homeward to think again. Those days are past now. And in the past, they | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
:11:09. | :11:15. | ||
must remain. We can still rise now and be at nation again. That stood | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
:11:25. | :11:31. | ||
against him, it would's army, and sent them homeward, to think again. | :11:31. | :11:41. | |
:11:41. | :11:49. | ||
And sent them homeward, to think again. Go Scotland! Hang on to your | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
Celts, it is about to take-off, it is going to be 80 minutes of | :11:55. | :12:05. | |
:12:05. | :12:21. | ||
organised mayhem as this Scotland Roddy Macdonald, the newly crowned | :12:21. | :12:31. | |
:12:31. | :12:51. | ||
But there are plenty players are here to come on. It is open | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
substitutions. All of these players will come on because the coaches | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
will have to use all the substitutes as the match goes on. | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
It is going to be a very demanding 80 minutes. Anna Methody is David | :13:09. | :13:19. | |
:13:19. | :13:19. | ||
Mitchell from muscle but. Norman Campbell has won the toss. -- hour | :13:19. | :13:29. | |
:13:29. | :13:38. | ||
referee is David Mitchell from when it comes to the three's, that | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
should make a big difference. slightly different arrangement at | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
the start, Afro in rather than a throw up, and we are off. This will | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
be fast and furious in the opening stages as Scotland try and take | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
this game to the Irish in the early stages. The tactic surely has to be | :14:04. | :14:14. | |
:14:14. | :14:28. | ||
teams. Absolutely. There is a chance to put the ball through the | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
posts here. He could get two points if this goes over the bar and | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
Between the two posts. That was not a bad effort for Bartlett. He was a | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
bit of a revelation in last week's match. I think it did go over and | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
they got two points. It looks like there is some doubt. It has | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
actually been confirmed that Bartlett had struck with at two | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
pointer. The referee has given that. It did not look to me as though it | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
had gone over. The Disney be just an indication that the wind is | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
going to play -- there is maybe just an indication that the wind is | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
:15:29. | :15:30. | ||
going to play a big part in this game. The Scottish defence is out | :15:30. | :15:40. | |
:15:40. | :15:40. | ||
en masse here. It is important that they hold the advantage. The early | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
:15:50. | :16:08. | ||
advantage they have taken with three hit from the ground. -- At | :16:08. | :16:18. | |
:16:18. | :16:25. | ||
free hit from the ground. The man in the yellow boots comes out | :16:25. | :16:35. | |
:16:35. | :16:36. | ||
second best. What wonderful skill. That is a worried. Great skill from | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
:16:46. | :16:46. | ||
Michael Price. Scotland did the great thing. If they can try to | :16:46. | :16:56. | |
:16:56. | :17:07. | ||
push the Halles into wide area as that should help. -- the hurlers. | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
The Fort William man has taken an 0 to the chin. There will be plenty | :17:14. | :17:23. | |
of wood flying about. This is the sort of thing we are going to see. | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
Just at loose stick the year. The players do take time adjusting. The | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
Irish have not done it for a while. It must be difficult to walk into | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
this sort of pressure. It is much higher tempo than an ordinary | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
shinty game. It is very hard to keep composure and discipline right | :17:45. | :17:54. | |
from the start. There we go. The go-faster stripes. It is not David | :17:54. | :18:04. | |
:18:04. | :18:07. | ||
Coulthard, it is our friend Mr Innes. He has stolen, borrowed and | :18:07. | :18:17. | |
baked for an new helmet. He had an orange one last week. You will | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
notice him get the opportunities with his new stick as well. I think | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
MacDonald is having to leave the field, whether he will leave as a | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
blood injury and come back, I have my doubts. Corrigan is a pacy | :18:38. | :18:46. | |
player. The difference between him and McDonald is experience. There | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
is a good chance now directly in front of goal. There are two points | :18:54. | :19:03. | |
up for grabs if he can get this over. The secret of this is that | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
you must take your chances. We saw last week that Scotland had plenty | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
of opportunities to take points and did not quite take them. It was so | :19:14. | :19:24. | |
:19:24. | :19:44. | ||
wet and windy with the long grass Two's. There was not too much in | :19:44. | :19:54. | |
:19:54. | :19:58. | ||
that. Here is Corydon again. Michael Rice, the Irish captain is | :19:58. | :20:08. | |
:20:08. | :20:08. | ||
having to go back. No prisoners taken in the Under 21 match as we | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
saw earlier. This was a great chance. John Stuart maybe should | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
have jumped India and tried to clatter into D Gourlay at the same | :20:19. | :20:29. | |
:20:29. | :20:54. | ||
time. -- jumped in the year. -- problem. The Scottish boys felt it | :20:54. | :21:03. | |
was not right. That is right. Hopefully the referee will keep an | :21:03. | :21:13. | |
:21:13. | :21:17. | ||
eye on it this week. Towards goal! From midfield! Goodness me! From | :21:17. | :21:27. | |
absolutely dead centre of the field, this is at tremendous bloke. -- | :21:27. | :21:37. | |
:21:37. | :21:48. | ||
for Findlay MacRae. That is a bonus. Scotland could not have expected | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
and goalkeeper of that experience to make such a hash of that. Maybe | :21:53. | :22:03. | |
:22:03. | :22:27. | ||
for the calculators at the end of this match to work out the scores. | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
Scotland have to be very careful when there are defending but | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
they're not just drawn towards the ball. They need to be organised at | :22:36. | :22:45. | |
the back. Campbell is playing like a spare player in the midfield. | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
There is a chance for Ireland here again. Again, this tactic of | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
Scotland using two defenders when an Irishman gets the ball. The | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
Irish players are having difficulty adjusting to the fact that they can | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
put their arms round the Scottish players. It is part of their game. | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
Scotland get another opportunity here. Just to physical, all over | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
him. It gives them another opportunity here from a wide area. | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
They need to keep the scoreboard ticking over. This time it is | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
:23:33. | :23:35. | ||
Corrigan who is going to have a go. Surrey, it is Kevin Bartlett - - | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
sorry, that was Kevin Bartlett. That is another two points from the | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
dead ball. This is exactly what Fraser Inglis was talking about, | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
you have got to keep the scoreboard ticking over. Kevin Bartlett is a | :23:52. | :24:02. | |
:24:02. | :24:21. | ||
corner. The referee says it was a push in the back this time. That is | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
a tough one to call. You have got to go into tackles like that, but | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
they think that was the right decision in the end. That was a | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
:24:40. | :24:40. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds | :24:40. | :26:32. | |
Again it falls to Stuart who is now an old hand. What a save. What a | :26:32. | :26:39. | |
save from that man from killdeer. We will take a look at that again. | :26:39. | :26:49. | |
:26:49. | :26:54. | ||
That was goalkeeping from the highest order. -- Kildare. Another | :26:54. | :27:04. | |
:27:04. | :27:27. | ||
opportunity for Kevin Bartlett. save by the Irish keeper. The Scots | :27:27. | :27:36. | |
are still pushing forward. At flying save by the keeper, who is | :27:36. | :27:46. | |
:27:46. | :27:46. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds | :27:46. | :28:26. | |
their chances while they have the in the game at the moment. You yes, | :28:26. | :28:36. | |
:28:36. | :28:37. | ||
another great opportunity. That is a great save. Meanwhile, at the | :28:38. | :28:44. | |
other end, the Irish move it up. Again, this extra man, Ian | :28:44. | :28:50. | |
MacDonald from cute, driving forward. He cleverly held on to | :28:50. | :28:56. | |
double their, he knew the Irishman was coming in from behind. He did | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
well to draw the foul of there. He just shielded the ball and got the | :29:01. | :29:11. | |
:29:11. | :29:36. | ||
He is a fantastic hitter of the ball. It was only six or seven | :29:36. | :29:46. | |
weeks ago that he was here picking up the man-of-the-match awards. | :29:46. | :29:56. | |
:29:56. | :30:04. | ||
That was when they won the Cup. The Irish are having a few problems | :30:04. | :30:14. | |
:30:14. | :30:25. | ||
with their footwear. They keep Irishman. This is good skilled bill. | :30:25. | :30:35. | |
:30:35. | :30:42. | ||
That was high and wide. You will notice Ireland's that's Brendan | :30:42. | :30:48. | |
Maher is in there as the extra man. Me be just a hint that Ireland are | :30:49. | :30:58. | |
:30:59. | :31:14. | ||
missing the man who got all the time to clear it. Again, great | :31:14. | :31:20. | |
cover in midfield. The Scottish midfielder working their socks off | :31:20. | :31:30. | |
:31:30. | :32:00. | ||
front, but it seems as if the Irish are getting to grips with the game | :32:00. | :32:09. | |
now. Everything is just bogged down in the middle at the moment. Became | :32:09. | :32:15. | |
just needs to open up. There is an example of what he would have done, | :32:16. | :32:19. | |
it would be natural for the Irish player to reach out his foot and | :32:19. | :32:26. | |
kick it away. Yes, but he has plenty of experience in his game, | :32:26. | :32:31. | |
so we should not be doing that and has given the Scottish another | :32:31. | :32:39. | |
opportunity to keep the scoreboard ticking over. So this is part klutz. | :32:39. | :32:43. | |
To get the ball over the bar between the posts would give him | :32:43. | :32:53. | |
:32:53. | :32:58. | ||
two more points. Off the post! But was unlucky. That was curving away. | :32:58. | :33:03. | |
We were in perfect position there to see that when drift away. That | :33:03. | :33:12. | |
is a chance gone. That is a wild slash by Daniel Cameron. He could | :33:12. | :33:22. | |
be in trouble for that. Brendan Maher was running through their NT | :33:22. | :33:29. | |
just to come out to stop him going any further. He is a player there | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
really impressed me in the game last week. He has got a lot of | :33:33. | :33:43. | |
:33:43. | :33:45. | ||
speed. That was a good effort from Kevin Bartlett. Now Ireland have | :33:45. | :33:54. | |
the chance. As soon as he picks up bad ball, the Scottish player wants | :33:54. | :34:03. | |
to charge him down to try and put him off. Again, wide. The Irish | :34:03. | :34:13. | |
:34:13. | :34:29. | ||
will be very disappointed not to Remember, 40 minutes each way. | :34:29. | :34:38. | |
Scotland live - - Scotland lead by seven points to zero. That was a | :34:39. | :34:48. | |
poor effort. He is looking for a second attempt, but he is not going | :34:48. | :34:58. | |
:34:58. | :34:59. | ||
to get one, is he? David Mitchell has reversed that one. I don't | :34:59. | :35:09. | |
:35:09. | :35:25. | ||
think the Irish were too happy play. That was a wasted opportunity. | :35:25. | :35:31. | |
Am not sure if you miss hit the ball, but you want to be going for | :35:31. | :35:41. | |
:35:41. | :36:03. | ||
Yes, it is a daft foul from John. You would never expect that from a | :36:03. | :36:10. | |
shinty player. It has given them an opportunity. This has to be charged | :36:10. | :36:20. | |
:36:20. | :36:26. | ||
down. It is Willie Hyland again from County leash. But his wild and | :36:26. | :36:30. | |
wide again! That is the second golden opportunity for the Irish to | :36:30. | :36:40. | |
:36:40. | :36:43. | ||
get back into the game. There will not be happy with that. - - that | :36:43. | :36:53. | |
:36:53. | :37:06. | ||
men in the middle, and it is a goal! I think there was a kick here. | :37:06. | :37:16. | |
:37:16. | :37:22. | ||
Ruddy Macdonalds has been pulled back. No score. Roddy Macdonald | :37:22. | :37:32. | |
:37:32. | :37:55. | ||
kicked the ball. So, quite rightly You yes, there was. It was a great | :37:55. | :38:00. | |
opportunity but it just got his foot in the way in. The Scottish | :38:00. | :38:06. | |
coaching staff will be happy about the way things have gone so far. I | :38:06. | :38:10. | |
would like to see more White Bull's however, to keep it away from the | :38:10. | :38:20. | |
:38:20. | :38:46. | ||
controlling the game. Look at that, three Scottish shirt around the | :38:46. | :38:56. | |
:38:56. | :39:04. | ||
Irish attacker. There is MacDonald again and another rash challenge. I | :39:04. | :39:10. | |
would not say that was a foul! he only had one hand on the stick | :39:10. | :39:20. | |
:39:20. | :39:28. | ||
it would have been a file. - - a foul. Here is Mr Campbell again. He | :39:28. | :39:38. | |
:39:38. | :39:43. | ||
will fancy a go at this. Plenty of height, but not enough distance. | :39:43. | :39:52. | |
The keeper is allowed to pick it up to get it away. An Irish that was | :39:52. | :39:58. | |
being used there. The goalkeeper at the moment is my pick of the Irish | :39:58. | :40:05. | |
players. He is standing firm. Norman Campbell has moved 15 yards | :40:05. | :40:15. | |
:40:15. | :40:17. | ||
forward. They are certainly putting the goalkeeper under pressure. | :40:17. | :40:22. | |
Getting towards the Inverness town end. Again, he has got too much | :40:22. | :40:32. | |
:40:32. | :40:45. | ||
height. It gives the Scottish wonder a bit promising field | :40:45. | :40:55. | |
:40:55. | :40:57. | ||
position. You don't want to give away fouls in that area. I didn't | :40:57. | :41:06. | |
think there was a great deal in that, to be honest. Again, the | :41:06. | :41:10. | |
Scottish Standing Firm into midfield. Cameron has been | :41:10. | :41:19. | |
impressive. The Irish coach is looking to make a change you. They | :41:19. | :41:24. | |
are not going to leave it too long. Interesting they are going to | :41:24. | :41:28. | |
change before half-time. This is a chance. Nice got no need to be | :41:28. | :41:38. | |
:41:38. | :42:05. | ||
He just swung across him there. That was a silly foul to give away. | :42:05. | :42:15. | |
:42:15. | :42:15. | ||
Just a little bit of argy-bargy here. It just seems to be part of | :42:15. | :42:20. | |
their game, a bit of pushing and shoving. You don't need to read too | :42:20. | :42:28. | |
much into that. The Scottish players are allowed to charge, but | :42:28. | :42:38. | |
:42:38. | :42:53. | ||
goalkeeper. And that is what you want your goalkeeper to do. He has | :42:53. | :42:59. | |
got a lot of experience. He has got something like five under 21 caps | :42:59. | :43:09. | |
:43:09. | :43:16. | ||
as well, so very used it to the rules. Gary Innes coming off,. Just | :43:16. | :43:24. | |
did change their to freshen the legs in midfield. That is all part | :43:24. | :43:34. | |
:43:34. | :44:02. | ||
of this game, using your full squad. Corrigan to Stewart, could not | :44:02. | :44:12. | |
:44:12. | :44:13. | ||
quite turn it. Scotland have got to add to this. With the wind in the | :44:13. | :44:18. | |
second half Ireland have come right back into this game. The have got | :44:18. | :44:28. | |
:44:28. | :44:33. | ||
changes. Drew McNeil obviously not happy with the conversion of | :44:33. | :44:43. | |
:44:43. | :44:45. | ||
possession into points. Bartlett, Divilly has got a handle on him for | :44:45. | :44:53. | |
the time being. Takes it for a wander. It breaks back. John Stuart | :44:53. | :45:03. | |
outnumbered this time. We create. Too ambitious in the middle of the | :45:03. | :45:10. | |
field near. Norman Campbell stepping end but MaCrae does his | :45:10. | :45:20. | |
:45:20. | :45:24. | ||
best to tidy up and are does the job. -- Barr does the job. | :45:24. | :45:34. | |
Unfortunately for Scotland, it is an Irish all. That was a great ball | :45:34. | :45:44. | |
:45:44. | :45:49. | ||
by Barr right down into the corner. That is what you want. Number 13 | :45:49. | :45:59. | |
:45:59. | :45:59. | ||
comes off. The Irish are not quite showing their hand in terms of the | :45:59. | :46:05. | |
substitutions yet. The Scottish hitting with the wind has been a | :46:05. | :46:15. | |
:46:15. | :46:15. | ||
huge Bassett this afternoon. -- a huge asset this afternoon. It is | :46:16. | :46:25. | |
:46:26. | :46:32. | ||
Bartlett again. As we look from behind Bartlett, from the main | :46:32. | :46:41. | |
stand at Bught Park. Will it drift in? That has gone in. That is | :46:41. | :46:47. | |
another two points to Kevin Bartlett. He is doing exactly what | :46:47. | :46:57. | |
:46:57. | :47:00. | ||
he has been told. He is on very skilful and very accurate form. | :47:00. | :47:07. | |
ball going exactly where he wanted it after 33 minutes. Scotland in | :47:07. | :47:17. | |
:47:17. | :47:41. | ||
through ball. A great touch. An opportunity that had to be taken. | :47:41. | :47:46. | |
John Stuart had a blast, you cannot blame him for that, you cannot | :47:46. | :47:54. | |
blame him for having a go. It would have made a completely different | :47:54. | :48:04. | |
:48:04. | :48:06. | ||
complexion on the score if he had managed to get that. You will be | :48:06. | :48:16. | |
:48:16. | :48:21. | ||
happy to see Mark spiral coming on. -- Mark Sproul. This game will | :48:21. | :48:31. | |
:48:31. | :48:33. | ||
probably suit him better than shinty! Again Mickey who is having | :48:33. | :48:43. | |
:48:43. | :48:48. | ||
a Stormer in midfield. -- Macrae. That was a rash challenge again in | :48:48. | :48:55. | |
a dangerous area. Yes, he was turning their when he just came in | :48:55. | :49:02. | |
and pick the shoulder into him. They have not done very well with | :49:02. | :49:12. | |
:49:12. | :49:12. | ||
their free-kicks so far. Norman Campbell is on the line with the | :49:12. | :49:19. | |
keeper just in case it does not make the distance. It is long, high, | :49:19. | :49:27. | |
straight and did. At long last Ireland get on the score sheet. The | :49:27. | :49:33. | |
first points for Ireland. A good conversion. Ireland needed to get | :49:33. | :49:43. | |
:49:43. | :49:44. | ||
some points on the scoresheet here. That is a single point to Ireland | :49:45. | :49:52. | |
because he did double touched it. He rolled it. Again, the referee is | :49:52. | :50:02. | |
:50:02. | :50:05. | ||
struggling with this the rule of the charge. That is a great tackle. | :50:05. | :50:15. | |
:50:15. | :50:16. | ||
Great timing. Up the middle. Here come the Irish again. Trying to | :50:16. | :50:26. | |
:50:26. | :50:26. | ||
create an opening. And look at that, another three dark blue shirts. It | :50:26. | :50:36. | |
:50:36. | :50:38. | ||
is a curious combination, but it works. At the heart of the Scottish | :50:38. | :50:44. | |
defence Barr is having a better game than he did last week. He has | :50:44. | :50:54. | |
:50:54. | :51:04. | ||
stuck to the task. This is another chance for Ireland. Here we go | :51:04. | :51:14. | |
:51:14. | :51:15. | ||
again, the running with the ball. This is Mr Barr in the middle of | :51:16. | :51:25. | |
:51:26. | :51:27. | ||
the field. Socks around the ankles. He does not like shin pads. Here we | :51:27. | :51:37. | |
:51:37. | :51:41. | ||
go again then. The man from Tipperary lobs it in. A good, good | :51:41. | :51:51. | |
:51:51. | :51:52. | ||
Scottish defence. Yes. I did hit in from the wide area. Scotland just | :51:52. | :51:57. | |
crowded it out. That is exactly what they needed to do. Norman | :51:57. | :52:07. | |
:52:07. | :52:08. | ||
Campbell came in the year. Scotland leading by nine points to one. This | :52:08. | :52:17. | |
is a good ball. A dangerous ball. The Irish keeper deals with it well. | :52:17. | :52:27. | |
:52:27. | :52:32. | ||
He has had a quiet spell. The Irish get it away. MacLeod of Kyles got | :52:32. | :52:38. | |
his stick to it. That is Norman Campbell, he has got all the gear | :52:38. | :52:48. | |
:52:48. | :52:49. | ||
as the spare man. Look at the two Scots. This is great play by | :52:49. | :52:59. | |
:52:59. | :53:00. | ||
Divilly, taking it all the way up and delivering it to his forwards. | :53:00. | :53:09. | |
McIntosh and Barr, the two Bergin men get it out. A mistake by | :53:09. | :53:19. | |
:53:19. | :53:19. | ||
Macleod here. I good tackle again by Scotland. Roddy Macdonald could | :53:19. | :53:28. | |
have done better with that. It is wide, but is it too long? They have | :53:28. | :53:34. | |
kept it in play, and they have turned it into a goal! That is at | :53:34. | :53:41. | |
fantastic strike from absolutely nothing. Kieran Divilly did well. | :53:41. | :53:47. | |
That is exactly what Scotland did not want to happen. It is the worst | :53:47. | :53:52. | |
time for it to happen. Scotland really have to pick themselves up | :53:52. | :54:01. | |
now. Look at the clock. You would not bet against the Irish getting | :54:01. | :54:07. | |
another strike before have time because they have pulled themselves | :54:07. | :54:14. | |
back to 9-4. That is exactly what they have done! More points for the | :54:14. | :54:24. | |
:54:24. | :54:26. | ||
Irish from open play. The Scotland manager is not a happy man. The | :54:26. | :54:35. | |
clock is ticking. David Mitchell has told the Irish we are in | :54:35. | :54:45. | |
:54:45. | :55:04. | ||
injury-time. We have played one points for Scotland. That is | :55:04. | :55:12. | |
Bartlett again. This is Bartlett from the touchline, this time. I | :55:12. | :55:17. | |
think the goalkeeper got his stick to it. It might have hit the bar | :55:17. | :55:27. | |
:55:27. | :55:45. | ||
Scotland we make it. We will just checked these scores but this is | :55:45. | :55:55. | |
:55:55. | :56:06. | ||
the latest. -- 11-5 to Scotland. That was off side. The player was | :56:06. | :56:13. | |
in before the ball. Yes, that was an offside decision, a correct | :56:13. | :56:23. | |
:56:23. | :56:27. | ||
decision. And David Mitchell brings the first half to an end. It has | :56:27. | :56:34. | |
been scrappy in parts. There has been some very, very tough tackling | :56:34. | :56:40. | |
and some great skill from both sides with some great goalkeeping | :56:41. | :56:48. | |
he in particular. At half-time we have Scotland with one goal and | :56:48. | :56:58. | |
:56:58. | :57:04. | ||
eight points, that is 11 points to Ireland's 5. From Scotland's point | :57:04. | :57:14. | |
:57:14. | :57:14. | ||
of view it has been highly successful. We have to take | :57:14. | :57:19. | |
advantage of the opportunities. The striking of the ball has been | :57:19. | :57:26. | |
fantastic. Look at this first, very early on. Again from that side, | :57:26. | :57:32. | |
that is fantastic striking. Here is the Scotland goal, and huge hit | :57:32. | :57:41. | |
again. There is Finley MaCrae hitting it. The goalkeeper thinks | :57:41. | :57:46. | |
it is going over the bar but at the last minute it drops and goes in | :57:46. | :57:53. | |
behind him. It really is a fantastic goal. Do you see that | :57:53. | :57:59. | |
kind of goal very often in shinty? I think he was trying to put it | :57:59. | :58:04. | |
over the bar. It just dropped short at the last minute which surprised | :58:04. | :58:11. | |
the goalkeeper. Some great saves in the first half. Absolutely. Stuart | :58:11. | :58:16. | |
hits the ball through. He knocks it onto the bar and completes the | :58:16. | :58:23. | |
clearance. The goalkeeper just gets his step up here and it hits the | :58:23. | :58:31. | |
bar. That was at fantastic save. This one again. It is saved first | :58:31. | :58:39. | |
time. A diving save this time from the goalkeeper who knocks it wide. | :58:39. | :58:48. | |
There is the first stage. It seems like the Irish took quite a while | :58:48. | :58:55. | |
to warm up. They were guilty of missing a few chances as well. | :58:55. | :59:03. | |
were and they struck wide. All the points they tried to get where a | :59:03. | :59:07. | |
real points. Scotland were doing well to close them down at that | :59:07. | :59:17. | |
:59:17. | :59:20. | ||
stage. Here is another one white. Here is at three coming in. -- a | :59:20. | :59:30. | |
:59:30. | :59:35. | ||
free coming in. There are so many set-pieces it is vital you take at | :59:35. | :59:44. | |
least 50% of them. Joe Bergin on the gold sheet. Absolutely. | :59:44. | :59:52. | |
Unfortunately for Scotland it is right on the byline here. Joe | :59:52. | :59:58. | |
Bergin did fantastically well. This ball should have been turned and | :59:58. | :00:06. | |
shuttled over the byline but it was not. Neil did not know where it was. | :00:06. | :00:12. | |
That was a huge boost to Ireland because at that stage Scotland were | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
starting to move away from them. thought Scotland would win the game | :00:19. | :00:28. | |
and the CDs, but have they done enough? -- the CDs. I would say it | :00:28. | :00:38. | |
:00:38. | :00:42. | ||
is anybody's guess. -- the series. Ireland were in ascendancy at the | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
end of the first half. They could step in and make up the difference. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
Let us take leave of this international action just for the | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
moment. Last month was the Camanachd Cup final which turned | :00:58. | :01:05. | |
out to be an epic encounter between Newtonmore and Ross County. Let us | :01:05. | :01:15. | |
:01:15. | :01:26. | ||
look at some of the action. -- Newtonmore inverses Kingussie. Per | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
Danny Macrae were the first chance. Great! And a goal! My goodness, a | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
:01:44. | :01:59. | ||
across. Persistent play. A chance for Newtonmore again. Oh, yes, a | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
second goal! It is Stephen McConnell with a second for | :02:04. | :02:14. | |
:02:14. | :02:16. | ||
Newtonmore. My goodness! Here is a chance for Kingussie. Fraser man | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
wrote with that magnificent strike for Kingussie to get Kingussie back | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
:02:31. | :02:41. | ||
in the Camanachd Cup final. -- at the other end. Here he comes | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
again. Danny Macrae! Danny Macrae has had a quiet spell and he has | :02:49. | :02:59. | |
:02:59. | :03:14. | ||
tired Newtonmore further ahead. is looking for a quick 12. -- | :03:14. | :03:24. | |
:03:24. | :03:25. | ||
acquit 1-2. Goal! It is Martin Dallas! He has scored Kingussie yet | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
:03:35. | :03:42. | ||
another lifeline. It is the-2. Ross! Ross has done it again. -- 3- | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
:03:52. | :03:57. | ||
2. What a goal! It is now 3-3. They are fighting for every ball. Here | :03:57. | :04:07. | |
:04:07. | :04:09. | ||
is a chance! It is Danny Macrae! It is a Danny Macrae hat trick! | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
Newtonmore have won the Camanachd Cup for the first time in 25 years. | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
A great game that was. A bit of chat about the goal there from | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
Danny Macrae, a very, very fast goal, but was it the fastest of all | :04:27. | :04:35. | |
time? The referee of the Scottish Cup final had the fastest goal ever. | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
Here is that goal. The ball runs through, he just catches up with it | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
on time and that turned out to be the winning goal for Fort William | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
that day. Here we have a split screen to see who had the fastest | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
goal. We will find out very shortly. A huge coincidence that Derek went | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
on to referee the match. Derek Cameron wins it with 10.2 seconds. | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
There will be a lot of discussion in shinty circles about that. | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
think because Derek Cameron was refereeing that they he had to take | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
the time and put that down but he still holds the title for the | :05:26. | :05:36. | |
:05:36. | :05:41. | ||
fastest goal in as Scottish Cup wind in the second half? Hopefully | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
the rain will not get any heavier. Though more wet the bald guts to | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
heavier it gets and the less it turns in the air. Ireland will be | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
hoping the wind keeps up to give them the chance to shoot from | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
longer range. At this stage it is anyone's game. It is down to who | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
takes their chances and he shows composure. It will be hugely | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
exciting. Will Scotland hang on? They can hang on, but I think | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
Ireland are probably favourites now. Let's get back to our commentary | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
:06:30. | :06:38. | ||
series over the two Tests. We understand Scotland are going to | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
replace their goalkeeper, with Gavin Stobbart coming on. To my | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
mind Stewart MacKintosh was playing well. I don't think Stewart | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
MacKintosh did anything wrong. Maybe he picked up an injury, or to | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
give Gavin Stobbart a run out. He is a big presence in the back there. | :07:01. | :07:11. | |
:07:11. | :07:32. | ||
Very noisy! We have wins and just a into the face of a stiff breeze. | :07:33. | :07:42. | |
:07:43. | :07:43. | ||
Scotland lead by 11 points to five. I think Ireland will have the upper | :07:43. | :07:53. | |
:07:53. | :08:21. | ||
Stewart. The flag is raised. He cleverly saw he was. No, it is a | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
corner. It will come back out for a free. The flag was raised, but that | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
seems to be an indication of where. Let's look at it again. Just a | :08:34. | :08:43. | |
:08:44. | :09:12. | ||
That was easy for the Irish. That is just giving the ball way. Sean | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
Nicholson, no need for that. player was just told them on to his | :09:17. | :09:27. | |
stick. Again, not a great deal in it. The Irish will launch every | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
possible attempt now it because of the wind. Am sure they have been | :09:32. | :09:42. | |
:09:42. | :10:20. | ||
drift. Keith MacRae is probably the best player in the game at | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
defending from the front. He has got a grip engine on him and he | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
will defend very well from the front. He has one man of the match | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
at under 21 and I'm glad to see him back on the park again. Norman | :10:36. | :10:46. | |
:10:46. | :11:05. | ||
Campbell. He keeps it flat so the every loose ball and firing it back | :11:05. | :11:15. | |
:11:15. | :11:32. | ||
pick that up. I'm sure the Irish coach was going to be making a lot | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
of noise to make sure that the referee sold that the shirt was | :11:37. | :11:47. | |
:11:47. | :12:16. | ||
now, moving in packs. The goalkeeper has had to play the ball | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
and put it out for a corner. He did not have much option there. | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
Scotland's man of the match so far has to be Kevin Bartlett. He is a | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
real live wire up there and is doing really well for Scotland. | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
has got for free hits so far, Kevin Bartlett, but this time it is | :12:40. | :12:50. | |
:12:50. | :12:56. | ||
Findlay MacRae. That is a huge hit. The wind held it up, though. The | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
goalkeeper gets down and back quickly. What a chance for | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
Scotland! It has gone wide. It is Bartlett. What was I saying about | :13:12. | :13:22. | |
:13:22. | :13:25. | ||
him?! Famous last words. It felt perfectly to compare and he will be | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
:13:35. | :13:50. | ||
dangerous area at this stage of the match is not good. Scott will not | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
will be disappointed at conceding that freed there. It is Willie | :13:55. | :14:05. | |
:14:05. | :14:24. | ||
point for Ireland. Keeping the scoreboard ticking. With the wind, | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
it is ominous for Scotland. They need to get the ball in the met at | :14:28. | :14:38. | |
:14:38. | :14:38. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds | :14:38. | :15:30. | |
their going to have any chance of still with the ball. Again, at big | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
challenge and half an Irish stake there. Good challenge from Neil | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
MacDonald here. Just trying to put him under pressure there. He was | :15:41. | :15:51. | |
:15:51. | :15:52. | ||
pulling him back as well. This is Willie Hyland with another | :15:52. | :16:02. | |
:16:02. | :16:03. | ||
chance. How often have we seen this, Ireland picking up the score. The | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
Scots have packed the goalmouth and Kizi goes for a goal, but he has | :16:07. | :16:17. | |
chipped it over. The two points entire island. 11 points to eat. It | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
is starting to look quite ominous for Scotland. I was quite surprised | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
that he went for that there. I thought he would have just flicked | :16:26. | :16:36. | |
:16:36. | :17:05. | ||
moment. - - are just off the pace. There are three Irishmen that her | :17:05. | :17:12. | |
running the show at the moment. That has gone wide. In the midfield, | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
the Irish are running the show. should be hitting it out wide. | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
Stewart MacKintosh has come back on. I am not sure why they made that | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
decision, but they have got two very good goalkeepers. Scotland | :17:29. | :17:39. | |
:17:39. | :18:01. | ||
foul there. Kevin Bartlett is against the wind for this freak, | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
but hopefully he can get another couple of points. Scotland could do | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
with getting the ball in the net. There are 30 minutes left in this | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
:18:21. | :18:23. | ||
match, the second Test. That is another huge hits and another great | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
blow. Another two points to a Bartlett. That is his 5th | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
conversion of. Kevin Bartlett is doing this single-handedly. You | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
would maybe expect Gary Innes to be doing this, but Kevin Bartlett has | :18:41. | :18:51. | |
:18:51. | :18:52. | ||
been fantastic. You just can't relax again the Irish attack. | :18:52. | :19:02. | |
:19:02. | :19:02. | ||
Temple of the game is really high. - - but the tempo of the game is | :19:02. | :19:12. | |
:19:12. | :19:26. | ||
each school would take three points of that lead. Willie Highland | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
flings it over the bar from open play. Another. Thailand. That is | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
another ball straight down the centre of the park. He had all the | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
time in the world to hit that over. That is just too easy for Willie | :19:43. | :19:53. | |
:19:53. | :19:54. | ||
Hyland. Willie Hyland is becoming a bit of a thorn in the side of | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
:20:04. | :20:29. | ||
Michael Rice, the captain makes it 13 points to 10. Ikea - - a great | :20:29. | :20:39. | |
:20:39. | :21:08. | ||
the field there, it is a natural instinct for them to be all over | :21:08. | :21:18. | |
:21:18. | :21:55. | ||
the Scottish player. That was packs. Gary Innes lets fly. That is | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
from open play. Gary Innes has added to his remarkable tally of | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
points for Scotland. That will do him the world of good putting that | :22:05. | :22:15. | |
over from there. It just shows you what at trendy Helmut will do! He | :22:15. | :22:25. | |
:22:25. | :22:43. | ||
has not been in the game as much as deep. The rain has come, from left | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
to right so they have it in their face. They had the wind in their | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
:22:58. | :23:24. | ||
faces and an increasingly strong there that probably didn't help. | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
was surprised there that the linesman asked him to do that. But | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
is just part of the game. Maybe the linesman did Scotland a favour | :23:39. | :23:49. | |
:23:49. | :24:05. | ||
the pressure building. This is all about momentum for Ireland. | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
Scotland are not helping themselves because they keep dropping the ball | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
into the middle of the park and the Irish half-backs just keeps picking | :24:16. | :24:26. | |
:24:26. | :24:53. | ||
it up. The need to get into the of a challenge here against the | :24:53. | :25:03. | |
:25:03. | :25:10. | ||
wind. He might struggle to find the distance here. That would have had | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
the legs, if it was straight enough. He did find the distance, but just | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
:25:26. | :25:27. | ||
slightly off. Big game is on. The Irish don't hang about. Their | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
natural inclination is to build up the pace of the game as we head | :25:32. | :25:42. | |
:25:42. | :25:47. | ||
towards the final quarter. Just a little kick there. Sharp refereeing. | :25:47. | :25:57. | |
:25:57. | :26:13. | ||
just a little bit too far. He is the player that we need to be | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
getting involved in the game as much as we can because he has been | :26:16. | :26:26. | |
:26:26. | :26:27. | ||
very influential. We have a substitution about to take place | :26:27. | :26:37. | |
:26:37. | :26:47. | ||
is the substitution for Scotland, Andrew Corrigan coming on for Gary | :26:47. | :26:54. | |
Innes. That is a bit of speed coming on there. Andrew is a very | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
quick player and he has got a Harkness to his game and this last | :26:59. | :27:09. | |
:27:09. | :27:23. | ||
year or two where his tackling has standing appealing, because if the | :27:23. | :27:33. | |
:27:33. | :27:48. | ||
referee does not blow his whistle, He is a very skilful player. He is | :27:48. | :27:55. | |
very creative from the centre of the park. He is doing very well. He | :27:55. | :28:03. | |
has got quite a few points. I think it is Brendan Maher who has picked | :28:03. | :28:11. | |
up an injury cure, and he has been very influential. When we get balls | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
into the wide areas for the likes of Kevin Bartlett, we to look | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
dangerous. Keith MacRae did make a little bit mistake thereby not | :28:18. | :28:28. | |
:28:28. | :28:54. | ||
going after the ball when he Year award. -- Hurler of the Year. | :28:54. | :29:04. | |
:29:04. | :29:07. | ||
He is certainly deserving of his place in the team. Now here is a | :29:07. | :29:13. | |
huge hit from the Irish. That is another point from open play to | :29:13. | :29:23. | |
:29:23. | :29:23. | ||
Ireland, from the middle of the field, 14-11. Le CAT that launched | :29:24. | :29:30. | |
from the middle of the field. -- Look at that launched from the | :29:30. | :29:39. | |
middle of the field. That was the captain, Michael Rice. There is | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
appealing that the game could be slipping away from Scotland unless | :29:44. | :29:52. | |
they get another score. That is what the Scottish captain needs to | :29:52. | :30:01. | |
be doing in midfield. The Irish have lined up three players. | :30:01. | :30:07. | |
Mackintosh has to be very careful here. Again it is the same player | :30:07. | :30:14. | |
stepping forward and firing it from distance. I would not be surprised | :30:14. | :30:21. | |
if Scotland made a tactical change soon. They have really got to go | :30:21. | :30:31. | |
:30:31. | :30:32. | ||
for it now. The ball goes out. That is at loose ball from Norman | :30:32. | :30:40. | |
Campbell. He knows he should have kept that in play. Scotland should | :30:40. | :30:50. | |
:30:50. | :30:51. | ||
have kept the ball in play. At furrowed brow ooh. -- a furrowed | :30:51. | :31:01. | |
:31:01. | :31:04. | ||
brow. Mayor will not be quite as used to the short grass of Bught | :31:04. | :31:14. | |
:31:14. | :31:25. | ||
Park. -- Maher. Scotland will be making more changes. As a wild | :31:26. | :31:31. | |
swing by Bartlett, just a bit of experience showing here as the | :31:32. | :31:37. | |
Irish charge again. It is this thing of picking up the ball in | :31:37. | :31:44. | |
midfield. The only way to stop it is head on. You have to get tight, | :31:44. | :31:49. | |
tried to drive them into wider areas to try and cut the angles | :31:49. | :31:59. | |
:31:59. | :32:00. | ||
down. Robbie Macleod of Kyles is coming off. The Irishmen are in | :32:00. | :32:08. | |
full flow. It is a wonderful sight, a fantastic display of athleticism. | :32:08. | :32:18. | |
:32:18. | :32:18. | ||
The scene to go -- grow stronger. - - they seemed to grow stronger. It | :32:19. | :32:25. | |
is just impossible to get the ball off them when they start. This is | :32:26. | :32:32. | |
exhibition stuff from Ireland. man is having a very influential | :32:32. | :32:42. | |
:32:42. | :32:44. | ||
game. He has just changed direction and knocked it in. It is just wide. | :32:44. | :32:51. | |
It is not all about power, it is about balance and peace and all the | :32:52. | :33:01. | |
:33:02. | :33:05. | ||
rest of it. -- pace. There is Bartlett sticking with it and Roddy | :33:05. | :33:13. | |
Macdonald comes back. It does not quite reach John Stewart. Norman | :33:13. | :33:20. | |
Campbell driving out that mistake. A mistake by Joe Bergin who has had | :33:20. | :33:27. | |
his moments but it has not quite come off for a burden. He got that | :33:27. | :33:37. | |
:33:37. | :33:44. | ||
goal in the first half but he was unlucky the year. -- unlucky there, | :33:44. | :33:54. | |
Joe Bergin. It has been an expensive weekend for the Irish in | :33:54. | :34:04. | |
:34:04. | :34:06. | ||
terms of a broken timber. This time there are plenty more to choose | :34:06. | :34:16. | |
:34:16. | :34:18. | ||
from. Each one is better than the last. Finley MaCrae, will his | :34:18. | :34:28. | |
:34:28. | :34:28. | ||
effort be better than the last? Off it goes to the post. John Stewart | :34:28. | :34:35. | |
and again the Irish put it out. Will Bartlett go? Nobody is going | :34:35. | :34:41. | |
to take the ball off him. He has only one thing in mind, give me the | :34:41. | :34:47. | |
ball. He has done fantastically well for a young player. He has got | :34:47. | :34:57. | |
:34:57. | :35:00. | ||
his confidence up and he is exactly who should be taking this three. -- | :35:00. | :35:10. | |
:35:10. | :35:10. | ||
free. Let's see where this one ends up. He has just shaved too much of | :35:10. | :35:19. | |
it. It is difficult against the wind brought. That's right. This | :35:19. | :35:24. | |
went is difficult. The interpretation of the referee also | :35:24. | :35:34. | |
:35:34. | :35:43. | ||
plays a big part. -- this when it is difficult. -- wind. It has gone | :35:43. | :35:50. | |
out for a corner. That man thought he was playing shinty. He will be | :35:50. | :35:56. | |
disappointed. The corner is taken from midfield, just like a Rugby, | :35:56. | :36:06. | |
in line with where it crossed the line. Ireland have a chance. Over | :36:06. | :36:16. | |
:36:16. | :36:24. | ||
it goes, home and Drew. That is another point to Ireland. Scotland | :36:24. | :36:34. | |
:36:34. | :36:42. | ||
need to step up the pace. There are ticking away. There is Norman | :36:42. | :36:50. | |
Campbell. It is not his best afternoon. He had a very good first | :36:50. | :36:59. | |
half but it has been difficult in the second half. The Irish are | :36:59. | :37:04. | |
crowding the Scots in the same way as Scotland crowded the Irish in | :37:04. | :37:13. | |
the first half. There is a little bit of tiredness creeping in. | :37:13. | :37:23. | |
:37:23. | :37:25. | ||
Finley MaCrae swinging through. The game is starting to slip away from | :37:25. | :37:35. | |
:37:35. | :37:45. | ||
Scotland. Scotland to can charge best from 20 yards. A free-kick. 10 | :37:45. | :37:54. | |
critical minutes for this series to be decided. Highland swings it a | :37:54. | :38:04. | |
:38:04. | :38:14. | ||
long, since it wide, a lucky break for Scotland. Scotland charged that | :38:14. | :38:24. | |
:38:24. | :38:29. | ||
down, they sent two men which put him off. Scotland are just not | :38:29. | :38:39. | |
:38:39. | :38:39. | ||
getting it past midfield at the moment. They need to get a | :38:39. | :38:44. | |
goalscoring opportunity by taking advantage of the differences | :38:44. | :38:54. | |
:38:54. | :39:00. | ||
between shinty and Harling. -- hurling. John Stewart does not want | :39:00. | :39:10. | |
:39:10. | :39:16. | ||
to give a file away. -- foul. He does not get it far enough. Here is | :39:16. | :39:26. | |
:39:26. | :39:27. | ||
Norman Campbell. He hit his own man with that one though. In midfield | :39:27. | :39:33. | |
Scotland have at platform to attack. I would not be surprised if Norman | :39:33. | :39:38. | |
Campbell stepped forward, he has. He is unlikely to have a shot at | :39:39. | :39:46. | |
goal. That would be outrageous tea even think of it. What do you | :39:46. | :39:53. | |
think? He might try to get it close and give someone else an | :39:53. | :40:03. | |
opportunity to hit at it. He could just drop it in in front of the | :40:03. | :40:08. | |
goal and try to get a goalscoring opportunity. As things stand, | :40:08. | :40:14. | |
Scotland could still win this series. It is a great ball from | :40:14. | :40:20. | |
Norman Campbell but again, Scotland going into the box before the ball, | :40:20. | :40:27. | |
they just cannot afford to give this away at this stage of the game. | :40:27. | :40:33. | |
An opportunity gone! They really need to focus towards the end of | :40:33. | :40:40. | |
the game. It was quite clearly offside. Now the ball is at the | :40:40. | :40:46. | |
other end. Norman Campbell quite clearly doing the business of. Here | :40:46. | :40:56. | |
:40:56. | :40:59. | ||
comes Roddy Macdonald. Maybe that is what they need to do. Here is | :40:59. | :41:09. | |
:41:09. | :41:09. | ||
MaCrae. Well closed. That is the difference for me in the second | :41:09. | :41:19. | |
:41:19. | :41:20. | ||
half, the way the Irish have closed down on the Scottish players. He | :41:20. | :41:29. | |
still gets away with it. Two goes at it eventually. They are living | :41:29. | :41:37. | |
on borrowed time here. It is really a struggle now for them but you | :41:37. | :41:44. | |
never know which way this game is going to swing, not long now. | :41:44. | :41:54. | |
:41:54. | :42:09. | ||
are six minutes to goal in the gathering gloom at. -- to go. | :42:09. | :42:16. | |
Bartlett fires it forward. He will want to keep it in play to create | :42:16. | :42:26. | |
:42:26. | :42:29. | ||
more chances. There are two points in it. Meanwhile, the Irish have | :42:29. | :42:37. | |
not given up on this match, never mind the series. It is not over | :42:37. | :42:47. | |
:42:47. | :42:47. | ||
until it is finished. There are five minutes to go. It is still | :42:47. | :42:55. | |
Scotland's sees if the score line remains as it is. It is that Tibet | :42:55. | :43:02. | |
there is no margin for error however. Mackintosh weights. He has | :43:02. | :43:11. | |
dropped it. It has gone over his head. I think, that is in the net. | :43:11. | :43:19. | |
There is uncertainty here. This is crucial. This is at really big | :43:19. | :43:25. | |
decision. If this is at goal the Irish have am bonus point. Let's | :43:25. | :43:32. | |
watch it. The ball drops. Mackintosh gets his hand. That for | :43:32. | :43:39. | |
me is at all. I think the player is offside. But the referee has given | :43:39. | :43:49. | |
:43:49. | :43:55. | ||
the goal? No, he has taken the ball back to the medal. He has given de | :43:55. | :44:02. | |
Gaulle because he is restarting the game. -- she has given the goal. It | :44:02. | :44:09. | |
is complicated. In the blink of an eye Ireland have taken the lead. It | :44:09. | :44:17. | |
is now at 14 points to 15. We will have to take a look back at it just | :44:17. | :44:22. | |
to make sure who it was that launched that ball but it was down | :44:22. | :44:32. | |
:44:32. | :44:40. | ||
has disallowed it but the referee has overruled that. It is a goal, | :44:40. | :44:49. | |
the score sheet shows it is at goal. It has turned the match and the CDs | :44:49. | :44:59. | |
:44:59. | :45:03. | ||
in the favour of Ireland. -- the series. There are three minutes | :45:03. | :45:13. | |
:45:13. | :45:14. | ||
left for Scotland to be retrieved best. After they hit to Scotland. - | :45:14. | :45:24. | |
:45:24. | :45:28. | ||
- after they hit to Scotland. -- a free hit to Scotland. We have got | :45:28. | :45:36. | |
the calculator out. Scotland have to win by six points. Another goal | :45:36. | :45:41. | |
will win this for Scotland. Bartlett needs to get this on goal. | :45:41. | :45:50. | |
He has to go for gold here. He has fired it along the ground. It is | :45:50. | :46:00. | |
worried. Two minutes left. I think he dropped a bit of apps Manor | :46:00. | :46:10. | |
:46:10. | :46:13. | ||
there. -- a clanger. He will be very disappointed with that. It has | :46:13. | :46:23. | |
:46:23. | :46:25. | ||
worked out in Ireland's favour. Scotland desperately need a goal. A | :46:25. | :46:32. | |
goal is all it would take. They need the ball up the other end. | :46:32. | :46:37. | |
Ireland have got a bonus point because of their second goal which, | :46:37. | :46:47. | |
:46:47. | :46:49. | ||
in addition to last week... Down to the left. We understand there will | :46:49. | :46:56. | |
be one minute of added time. In it comes from Scotland. Can they get | :46:56. | :47:05. | |
it on the goal? One goal would clinch it for them. Still a chance. | :47:05. | :47:11. | |
Bartlett to Gary Innes. A corner to Scotland. It was more than half a | :47:11. | :47:21. | |
chance. What an opportunity. That fill it to him to hit the target | :47:21. | :47:30. | |
and it just hit the player. What a defence. There are 30 seconds left | :47:30. | :47:39. | |
in regular time. I am not quite sure if that takes in the minute | :47:39. | :47:46. | |
extra. We have one minute of injury time. Up it goes from Scotland. | :47:46. | :47:56. | |
:47:56. | :47:56. | ||
They need de Gaulle do get the bonus point. -- the gold -- the | :47:56. | :48:06. | |
:48:06. | :48:06. | ||
goal. Ireland know they can still hold on here. They will throw | :48:06. | :48:13. | |
everything at it. It is another corner. Surely the last chance for | :48:13. | :48:21. | |
Scotland. They should bunched it here. If they can get a bit of | :48:22. | :48:29. | |
width when the ball is hit rather than just a static start. Now it is | :48:29. | :48:35. | |
a case of who is going to go for glory here? The Irish can pack as | :48:35. | :48:43. | |
many men as they want on the line. It is too far, it is worried. That | :48:43. | :48:53. | |
:48:53. | :48:55. | ||
to me could be Scotland's last chance. -- it is wide. All eyes are | :48:55. | :49:05. | |
:49:05. | :49:08. | ||
on the referee. It is too late for Scotland. The Irish have done the | :49:08. | :49:18. | |
:49:18. | :49:19. | ||
business. In the very last closing period of what has been another | :49:19. | :49:28. | |
titanic struggle of Scotland and Ireland. It has been a very, very | :49:28. | :49:38. | |
:49:38. | :49:47. | ||
brave effort. Scotland, it has to central in the game. There was a | :49:47. | :49:51. | |
slight mistake at the end there with the offside because Coleman | :49:51. | :50:00. | |
dearly. There was only one point in its, but it was enough because the | :50:00. | :50:04. | |
two gold the Irish have got today and the nine points to give them 15, | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
in addition to what they had last week against Scotland's one goal | :50:08. | :50:14. | |
and 11 points has given Ireland's did two Test series against | :50:14. | :50:24. | |
:50:24. | :50:27. | ||
Such a disappointment for Scotland. And narrow victory for Ireland and | :50:27. | :50:32. | |
they take the series. Heartache for Scott and there at the death. | :50:32. | :50:39. | |
Absolutely. They got a fantastic start, and really in the second | :50:39. | :50:44. | |
half Ireland dominated and the ran out worthy winners. We are drawing | :50:44. | :50:50. | |
by the Scotland coach. How hard was that its it right at the end. | :50:50. | :50:56. | |
thought we had one of the series at the end there. All we had to do was | :50:56. | :51:00. | |
scored that goal at the ends, but it didn't happen. Let us show you | :51:00. | :51:06. | |
the goal of that won it for the Irish. Suspicions of offside. | :51:06. | :51:12. | |
own, it was just a mistake but the goalkeeper, unfortunately. It is | :51:12. | :51:19. | |
not offside. The referee made a good decision. A fantastic it as | :51:19. | :51:24. | |
well from Brendan may hand, but you must have been so gutted. No oh, | :51:24. | :51:29. | |
because if we had got another goal at the end we would have got the | :51:30. | :51:35. | |
bonus points and we would have won. We would have won the series. | :51:35. | :51:43. | |
are quite upbeat. The guys have left everything on the park. You | :51:43. | :51:50. | |
can't ask any more. A bid you assess their overall performance? | :51:50. | :51:54. | |
Disappointed in the second have. We not - - we did not manage to get | :51:54. | :51:59. | |
the ball down and show that we could play a bit of shinty. Well, | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
thank you very much and commiserations. Let's go to the | :52:03. | :52:10. | |
presentation. Well, it is the Irish who are going | :52:10. | :52:18. | |
to go up first of all to take the honours. Michael Rice is the | :52:18. | :52:24. | |
Ireland captain who will eventually take the honours, but some | :52:24. | :52:33. | |
confusion at the moment about he will lead them up. He has passed up | :52:33. | :52:37. | |
the chance to take the trophy because the captain is someone else. | :52:37. | :52:47. | |
We're waiting for the Irish captain. Michael Rice will eventually join | :52:47. | :52:53. | |
Alan Sutherland to pick up the cup. Don't worry about the Scottish | :52:53. | :53:03. | |
:53:03. | :53:04. | ||
shirts, it is just that the Jersey's have been swapped. A bit | :53:04. | :53:10. | |
of Scottish chaos! It is all being dealt with in the best possible | :53:10. | :53:17. | |
nature. The Irish are delighted with their winner. Eventually we | :53:17. | :53:27. | |
:53:27. | :53:27. | ||
had the winning captain, Michael Rice of Kilkenny will excepts the | :53:27. | :53:37. | |
:53:37. | :53:37. | ||
cat on behalf of the Irish hurdlers who have taken the Test series. - - | :53:37. | :53:46. | |
hurlers. A big reception for the Irish who probably deserved it. An | :53:46. | :53:51. | |
disappointed Scottish team, obviously. They gave it their best | :53:51. | :53:58. | |
shot, but it wasn't quite enough. There is Michael Rice with the | :53:58. | :54:08. | |
:54:08. | :54:10. | ||
silverware. The disappointment written all over the Scottish | :54:10. | :54:16. | |
team's faces. They know they had the chances. The inquest will | :54:16. | :54:26. | |
:54:26. | :54:33. | ||
starts. Norman Campbell, the manager. The Irish are now coming | :54:33. | :54:36. | |
back for their medals, it seemed that they did not take them on | :54:36. | :54:46. | |
:54:46. | :54:46. | ||
their first effort. The inquest on whether it was a goal or not will | :54:46. | :54:52. | |
go on long into the night no doubt. The other match officials now going | :54:52. | :55:00. | |
through taking their awards. Let's go down and rejoin Jonathan, who is | :55:00. | :55:08. | |
with the Irish captain, Michael Rice. | :55:08. | :55:14. | |
Michael, right at the debt you won it. You must be delighted. I am | :55:14. | :55:17. | |
delighted. We don't often get the chance to play for our country and | :55:18. | :55:22. | |
we really wanted to win. In fairness, Scotland started so tough | :55:22. | :55:28. | |
and they were really flying. We knew it was going to be very tough. | :55:29. | :55:33. | |
Agree it had from Brendan May and at the end. Yes, we needed a bit of | :55:33. | :55:39. | |
inspiration. What sort of opponents would the Scots? We have got the | :55:39. | :55:46. | |
goal here. Tammy how you were seeing it. I was just hoping it | :55:46. | :55:52. | |
would not go wide. We knew it was more difficult for the Scots to see | :55:52. | :55:59. | |
if at all like that than it would be for us because of our sticks. We | :55:59. | :56:06. | |
knew that had a chance. Fantastic stuff. You must be so proud to have | :56:06. | :56:11. | |
come over here and won it right at the death. This game is difficult, | :56:11. | :56:18. | |
the hybrid rules, is depressed much yes, it is. Use us all kicking the | :56:18. | :56:23. | |
ball, which is just second nature to us. Michael, well done today and | :56:23. | :56:29. | |
thank you very much. A final thought from me is that arrogant | :56:29. | :56:33. | |
deserted over the two matches. Scotland can take a lot of credit | :56:33. | :56:37. | |
because of their great start, but Ireland prepare with the stronger | :56:37. | :56:44. |
