Whether you voted yes, now or one of the dozens of confused souls who | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
managed to vote for both, I don't argue do it, we're trying to steer | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
the conversation towards football for the next 70 minutes. In the and | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
plenty from them and our reporters around but first this, starting two | :00:46. | :01:04. | |
other matches, we will talk about them later, Celtic against | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
Motherwell and Dundee against Dundee starting the second half is underway | :01:07. | :02:13. | |
but the only surprise is that it is only two. Ross County root Mark | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
Brown made a great save that was before the Dons broke the deadlock. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
And what will disappoint Ross County's manager is that both of the | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
goals were conceded from simple Rooney, unopposed, unmarked, heading | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
in County's best chance came when Rocco Quinn was one-on-one with it | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
Ross County at the moment that he made a hash of it. Aberdeen had the | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
an altercation before team-mates, both booked? That is like you two | :03:01. | :03:11. | |
before we go actually, it shows quite often, there are players that | :03:12. | :03:24. | |
you on this occasion, it shows I was later say that it was a shambles. It | :03:25. | :03:42. | |
has been 2-0 is a Jim McIntyre has to Aberdeen played well. Hayes | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
particularly. That story is to be continued. We continue our journey | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
around the ground, stopping off at Douglas are at home to Kilmarnock. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
It is 0-0 here at New Douglas Park. Two minutes into Hamilton Accies | :03:58. | :04:08. | |
have been the best two Tony Andreu after a neat pass, but his alerted | :04:09. | :04:27. | |
Samsung managed to take it over Crawford with the, a curling shot | :04:28. | :04:38. | |
after 30 yards. Tipped over they had it felt to Obadeyi, but he could not | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
connect spent the first half criticising his team-mates are | :04:48. | :04:58. | |
looking it sounds as if there is not much to report there. Let's talk | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
instead about Hamilton position. I think it is brilliantly refreshing | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
to look at the Premiership table now and see them at the top. Do not | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
believe that in December or the new year they will be there. At the | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
moment, think it is brilliant after five or six they only have 700 | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
season tickets, so it is amazing. I'd take the point that Alec Neil | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
was making, that, and I'm sorry to mention it, May at Easter Road. For | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
Hamilton to do what they did remarkable. I think the energy and | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
the psychology is feeding off that momentum. Good on them. It is | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
brilliant and let's feed off Paul Mitchell's energy now. He is at the | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
Caledonian Stadium watching a so far, between Inverness and St | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Johnstone. If for energy, you have come to the wrong place. The sun has | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
come up, which is we have had a number of Twitter followers a | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
highlight. Plenty but too slow. St Johnstone, quite happy sitting at | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
the back in terms of action, Graeme Sinn he had a problem coming down. | :06:14. | :06:45. | |
Binny a so far there has been a goal in yes thinking about Dodds up | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
there, great friend the defence is really strange. It is as if the | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
plane three at the back against doing that away from some of them | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
have been posting time and time again. But they have and this time | :07:01. | :07:18. | |
it score is 3-0 but it could easily won lost. I've ever going to Rangers | :07:19. | :07:32. | |
are away to Alloa Athletic. There is a the second half, still Alloa one, | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
the Raiders players are not allowing a couple of early corners. Kris Boyd | :07:42. | :07:53. | |
almost opened the scoring a shot was deflected wide. But that is all but | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
we're they were made to pay for their lack Alawite were headed in | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
front. The worrying thing for Rangers fans, he was in loads the | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
water bottles went flying when showing some of that aggression. | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
They have been second best but a shock is on it looked as if Rangers | :08:17. | :08:31. | |
were coming into their readers had a couple of over the, | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
Rangers'football has been unconvincing. It has been they have | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
been in they have had arguably as good league form as they had under | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
Ally McCoist. So this does surprise me. On a assets, I thought they were | :08:48. | :09:01. | |
getting their assets did you say brutal, top among yourselves. Two | :09:02. | :09:11. | |
Pittodrie, Ross County, an Peter Pawlett summing up her miserably | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
things are going I think we that they have lost it by four goals on a | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
number it to get through this without disarray at the back. | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
Currently three 0 to Aberdeen. They give very much. Back into the | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
Championship, hearts are at home to Cowdenbeath, being watched by great | :09:35. | :09:49. | |
play by Danny Wilson. Combining with Graham Watts and an 1110 sides to | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
set up he then rolled the ball to King and | :09:58. | :10:08. | |
Gallagher slammed home the rebound. A short saved by Robbie Thompson. A | :10:09. | :10:19. | |
few moments ago, hearts back in front, Eckersley down the right-hand | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
side, chipped the ball into the six yard box and Jamie Ward go was there | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
with a glancing header over the top of Thomson owned into the back of | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
the net. Almost 16,000 in Tynecastle. 51 minutes played. | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
16,000 at Tynecastle Park. It is what we were talking about, we were | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
having a look at the top of the leagues before and you get Rangers | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
and hearts in the championship and Hamilton and Inverness, Alloa | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
Athletic have beaten Rangers, Hibs are midway in the league and getting | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
beaten. There is madness around, but you are only as good as what you do | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
on the field. Hearts at the moment... There is a positive there | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
just now which makes a massive difference. Let's indulge more | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
championship madness with Kenny Crawford watching Hibs will -- Hibs | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
away to Queen of the South. Hebburn Ian are still struggling to get to | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
grips with the championship division. -- Hibernian. Gavin Reilly | :11:27. | :11:38. | |
had to tap home from six yards. Hibs have a good chance early on, should | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
have done better after seven minutes. There was a bit of booing I | :11:44. | :11:56. | |
heard but in the second half, 1-0. Kenny nailed it there when he said | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
Hibs are struggling to get to grips with the championship. He sounded | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
like he was broadcasting from a sinking battleship! Listen, Pat has | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
touched on it, the championship is enthralling for all of us wondering | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
what will happen between Rangers, hearts and Hibs. If you didn't know | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
what a hard job he's got, Stubbs knows now, because they have been | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
struggling, it will be a time of adjustment, but we all thought Hibs | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
would be thereof thereabouts. You hope they will be but Alan Stubbs | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
has had a very tough opening month at Easter Road. Do you still think | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
Hibs can be there or thereabouts come the end of the season? I | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
wouldn't be surprised if they get in the top three. You consider | :12:43. | :12:51. | |
Cowdenbeath, if they don't get three points at the start of the season | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
they are near the bottom of the league. A massive job to be done. He | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
has added some players that can score which was a problem last | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
season, no one there to score a goal. We talked about Hamilton, how | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
they were riding high after that play-off when Hibs seemed to be on a | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
continual downward spiral. For a little while you can talk about | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
confidence, then you talk about good enough or not good enough. If you | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
stay that far down for long enough you have to say, no, the group of | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
players have not been good enough for a period of time. Certainly the | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
tactics didn't work well last season. I could be here all day! | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
Scott Allen should be, if he is a young talented midfielder as we | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
sought to three years ago he should be a good signing should he not? I | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
will agree, he should score a load of goals because he is a really good | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
player. Stanton is a fine player, he is young, but getting the best out | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
there. Part of the trouble is their dependency. Sometimes Hibs's best | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
players are kids and you cannot get out of them all the time. There is a | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
number of kids there and it is always a tough division. Where going | :14:13. | :14:21. | |
to head to Tynecastle, hearts-Cowdenbeath. Ryan McLaren has | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
an incident of notes. A penalty to hearts. Jamie Walker to the ground, | :14:31. | :14:39. | |
referee just a few yards away. A coniferous and shot saved in the | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
first half. He is 12 yards out with a chance to make it free for Hearts, | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
left footed, and he scores. The ball was in the corner of the net. We | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
have played 55 minutes, hearts 3-1 Cowdenbeath. Looks like there will | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
only be one winner. In the home games obviously but there are words | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
filtering through from Alloa Athletic. It is very early days, but | :15:11. | :15:23. | |
Hearts have started brilliantly. It has not been so easy for Rangers or | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
Hibs. But as I say they are on a high, that club is on a high. We | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
don't need a panel on this show to tell us the significance of last | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
nights result in the Premiership. Pat and Graham are capable of doing | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
that. Partick Thistle and St Mirren, it was a wee bit of a surprise. He | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
in words and pictures is the story of the match from Rob Maclean. -- | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
here in words and pictures. A challenge into the back of Marwood. | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
No free kick. Higginbotham for Stephen Lawless. | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
And, midway through the first half. And it was very straightforward. | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
Skipping in the clutches, the header was down and away. | :16:14. | :16:27. | |
Ballor D'Or! It is an immediate impact. -- Alan ball. This digit's | :16:28. | :16:41. | |
first St Mirren goal. And it is only a second of the Premiership season | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
for the Paisley team. How they needed this. 1-1 at Firhill. | :16:44. | :16:55. | |
Ball! Having scored the game, he was trying to win it here. A good save. | :16:56. | :17:10. | |
Looking at his watch, the referee, four minutes added. Kenny McRae with | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
a great hit! McAusland keeps it alive. And that is handball, a | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
penalty. Abdul Osman is the player with his arm raised. And it is Kenny | :17:29. | :17:39. | |
MacLean with the chance. To give St Mirren their first Premiership win | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
of the season. So badly needed. I must confess, I am a bad father. My | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
son has been and most of the games this season and it has been really | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
poor. Why was going to take on last night but they did not and a won. It | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
is or was the way. They are always worth seeing because it Maclean is | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
playing, you will get a point. He has not been playing well this | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
season so far. But he is quality player. It is hard when you're | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
playing a team that struggling. Having said that, they have not | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
played badly all season but there was a moment in that, with a total | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
change in the second half. I'm not sure whether that was Tommy Craig | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
saying the right things or what but the free kick, the wiki took that, | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
the method in which Drogba and Ronaldo uses a free kick. Very few | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
people can do that. You had it a certain way. And that is why the | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
keeper hast to carry it out. At the end, McLean is central to them if | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
they are going to get out of problems. The heat, is it off Tommy | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
Craig? That result last night could not have come sooner for him. | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
Standing on five games, not even a point, five straight defeats. I | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
mean,... Did you think he would have been gone before Alex Salmond? By | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
all accounts, the tipping point was coming, and St Mirren deserved it. I | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
think Thistle will be fine with taken bottom and so doing what | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
they're doing, but St Mirren was under pressure. Tommy Maclean, we | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
know about the and sniping, and critical press comments. From the | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
press? There have been critical comments by St Mirren fans, and a | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
lot of them have not approved of his appointment. He is I know Thistle | :19:30. | :20:03. | |
complained about the free kick but he needed those three points. Have | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
you seen enough of St Mirren to think they can be upwardly mobile? I | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
don't think they will be top half of the table. They need a striker and | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
at the moment they haven't got one, he is injured. A huge loss for them, | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
especially if you are building your whole system around that. Tommy is a | :20:26. | :20:40. | |
good technical coach. If it can be done in a technical way, if he has | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
players that are good enough, he will get it done. At last we have | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
got something excited about which has nothing to do with Twitter | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
numbers. You have a goal, Inverness- St Johnstone. Indeed I do, some | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
things are worth waiting for. Great one run by Marley Watkins but what a | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
cool finish, he kept his nerve, slid it under his body. This could be | :21:09. | :21:22. | |
enough for Inverness. Celtic are still resting after the Europa | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
League adventure in Austria and preparing for tomorrow's Premiership | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
match against Motherwell. We will talk about it later but this is my | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
unbreakable vow, we will get there eventually. Right now we will look | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
ahead to the League Cup match, Celtic against hearts on BBC One | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
Scotland on Wednesday at 7pm. Do not miss that. Hearts have a good record | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
against Celtic in the League Cup at least in the last few years so maybe | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
they can go into this with a wee bit of confidence. I think the fact that | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
they know Celtic can be up and down, it is at Parkhead so it will | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
be tougher for them to go there. As you say, they have history, but | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
things have changed massively for Hearts in the last few years. And by | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
the way things have changed a lot for Celtic as well. A new manager | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
and a whole host of new players. You have to take that on board. I am not | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
sure anything historical makes any difference to this fixture. They | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
will go out and the biggest thing you can say for hearts is that they | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
should go out and enjoy it. I wonder how Michael Stewart is doing | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
nowadays? Will he be voting for a Had to wind you think? I think it is | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
a tantalising game, but also there are important things about both | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
teams. A lot of people have been impressed by Hearts's restructuring | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
in the summer, they have greatly been there, they are politically | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
settled, players like Gomez, good signings, Ronny Deila still bedding | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
in. There is no real body of evidence, I don't think, with which | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
to judge Ronny Deila yet. I think the Europa League will be good for | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
him. I think it is intriguing and an interesting cup tie at Celtic Park. | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
Maybe we could measure the perceived distant -- differences between the | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
Premier League and the Championship. Is it another way to gauge it? | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
Exactly. Funnily enough I had not thing, talking to Celtic, they can | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
rest players for the Premier League. A lot of people believe on focusing | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
on the Europa because they will probably win the Premier League | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
anyway. History shows they are capable of doing that throughout the | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
years. But I suspect he should do that with the League Cup as well, | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
because you want trophies. Nothing will help him more than getting | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
trophies. If you can do that it gets people off his back. I also thing, | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
watching the game during the week there, that was a fantastic | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
performance by Celtic, a draw over there in Austria was brilliant. Yes | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
Craig Gordon had to be absolutely fantastic and he was, but that team | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
coming back looked like it could do something special. Has Scott Brown | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
been missing, some fight at the beginning of the campaign? Natural | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
goal-scorers who can score at a decent level, that has been the | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
problem. Dawson can score goals but can he score at that level? I think | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
you could given the chance but he may not have had the chances. Not in | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
European competitions. I think they can have a good run purely because | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
that was the toughest game they will get in the group, it is a good one | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
for them. And it is a new coach, a foreign coach. I would think Ronny | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
Deila deserves a fighting chance to bedding. There is no time just now | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
to make any judgements. If it is five or six successive defeats it | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
would be different but at the moment I would give them seven out of ten | :25:02. | :25:11. | |
for bowling along. Just like it was for Neil Lennon when he twice failed | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
to get into the Champions League, in his second season the Europa League | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
was interesting for him, the following season he was in the | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
Champions League. This campaign might be a blessing in disguise. | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
They have to face Hearts in midweek. Of course, they have better players, | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
they are playing at home, they should be the favourites, but Hearts | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
have something about them that might make them wary, that is all I am | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
saying. Paul Mitchell will not be able to treat any more this | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
afternoon, he has another goal to talk about. It has come from | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
Christie, his second of the season, he scored against Hamilton | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
Academical in August. He scored a lovely goal here, worked down the | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
left-hand side, industrious, almost played it across the box. | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
Christie's shot right across the goalkeeper, he got a touch but | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
couldn't stop it creeping in at the post. Inverness Caley Thistle | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
looking good. As promised we can now turn our attention to tomorrow's | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
other Premiership match. Let's get into that one with the help of some | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
visual aids, namely a look at both clubs in their most recently | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
matches, first up, Celtic at Aberdeen. It was a good start but | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
they faded near the end. Aberdeen were looking as if they could maybe | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
get a comeback. Celtic had things on their mind before this game. I think | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
this was a great result for Celtic, because look at what Aberdeen are | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
doing today, look at the quality of players they have got, this was | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
arguably the toughest home game they will have this season. In the | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
league. If they managed to get there, to say they sneaked it would | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
be harsh but in the end it was very tight. As we know Aberdeen have | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
caused damage at Parkhead before so they will be delighted that they got | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
parts over Celtic. I just think there is a bit of growth, I can see | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
it, almost feel it, and Celtic are getting into a groove just now. It | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
is a good time for them to get Motherwell because as we know | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
Motherwell have had a tough time. They got a win last week, two wins, | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
one on the opening day and one last week against Ross County. Some of | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
their big players on the scoresheet. Yes, but I think Stuart McCall has | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
it all to do. A great goal. Absolutely, but Stuart McCall is on | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
a hiding to nothing. You could argue in relative terms, in context and | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
circumstance, he has been the best manager in Scotland in the last few | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
years. You say that every show! But to see what he has done at | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
Motherwell, this summer overhaul of players. He has lost at least one | :28:01. | :28:09. | |
impressive defender. So I have a certain amount of sympathy for | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
McCall because short of keeping Motherwell in the top three every | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
season I don't nor does he have to do to keep his credentials. | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
Expectations low as Motherwell fan because Partick have a record | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
against Celtic. Particularly at the start of the season. This is not | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
where we expect them to get their points. But I agree with you. You | :28:30. | :28:37. | |
have sympathy, I have bucketfuls for McCall because purely and simply, | :28:38. | :28:41. | |
every season I feel the same, this is the season it will fall. Each | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
season he has kept it going. Now you think, maybe this is it. Oddly | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
enough I don't think it will be, I think you will get back up there. | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
Will he get something tomorrow? I would be shocked. What will he take | :28:55. | :29:01. | |
to Celtic Park? There is a bit of nothing to lose but you don't want | :29:02. | :29:05. | |
to get battered. That is another living, if confidence is low... | :29:06. | :29:12. | |
Exactly, you know that can happen, Celtic on a high, feeling good about | :29:13. | :29:17. | |
Europe just now. So absolutely, go out there and make sure you are | :29:18. | :29:24. | |
sensible. Stuart McCall should be bombproof, he should be sacked and | :29:25. | :29:30. | |
given what he has achieved. But that is not what happens in football. If | :29:31. | :29:34. | |
Motherwell sink and are in danger of relegation he will become part of | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
the debating issue. Do you think they look as if they could be in | :29:40. | :29:42. | |
danger of relegation? They have had a really bad start to the season. I | :29:43. | :29:49. | |
don't think they will be relegated but the point is, if they do sink, | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
it will become a topic of conversation, is it time, has Stuart | :29:54. | :29:58. | |
Cole had his shelf life at Motherwell, whereas in fact the | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
overwhelming evidence he is -- is he is a good manager. He has proved | :30:03. | :30:07. | |
loyal as well. He could have gone. It does happen. Just go back to | :30:08. | :30:14. | |
Derek Adams, what he did for that club over a period of time was | :30:15. | :30:17. | |
phenomenal. He is not there any more, that can happen in this game. | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
It is an unwritten rule of football. I use a prized by Derek Adams being | :30:24. | :30:28. | |
shown the door? Definitely disappointed. Maybe not surprised | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
because if you hear the odd little hint, a breakdown in the | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
relationship, of some sort. It was never said out loud but there seem | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
to be suggestions but I do no more than that. If there is a breakdown, | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
I don't think it's the relationship was as solid as it had been for many | :30:47. | :30:51. | |
years, with Mr MacGregor, that would have happened. Because he has | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
brought that club to places they couldn't have dreamt of before. You | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
need to applaud him for that. For Ross County for me, something has | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
gone really badly wrong there. I always think of this club as the | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
local, community club, taking indigenous kids, bringing them on, | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
that kind of local mentality. What do we have now? Ross County shipping | :31:17. | :31:21. | |
in second grade, third-grade foreigners, flotsam and jets of | :31:22. | :31:26. | |
football, hardly any of us can name these players, what happens here? | :31:27. | :31:31. | |
Why was there a sea change? May be the argument might be, in the North | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
of Scotland, Inverness are looking for the same kids, Aberdeen to some | :31:36. | :31:42. | |
degree. They could ship the men in quantity. But you have a fairly | :31:43. | :31:46. | |
small number of players. You can get as many throws you like but let's be | :31:47. | :31:51. | |
honest, in that corner of Scotland, I know Aberdeen and Inverness are a | :31:52. | :31:56. | |
long way away as is Ross County, but there are only a certain amount of | :31:57. | :31:59. | |
players you can bring through and if you want to play top-flight you have | :32:00. | :32:05. | |
to look further and wider and you cannot afford down south any more. | :32:06. | :32:10. | |
They are in Aberdeen this afternoon trailing heavily. Let's get an | :32:11. | :32:16. | |
update from Scott Davies. It is still 3-0. Ross County with a half | :32:17. | :32:21. | |
chance, missing a sitter early in the game. But it has been pretty | :32:22. | :32:28. | |
much one way traffic towards the other end, Mark Brown making several | :32:29. | :32:33. | |
saves and an incredible let off as well, David Goodwillie through, | :32:34. | :32:38. | |
rolled the ball into the net and not to do against the post. Somebody is | :32:39. | :32:43. | |
pitying Ross County at the moment and helping them keep the scoreline | :32:44. | :32:48. | |
down. In addition to Mark Brown it remains 3-0. Let's rejoin John | :32:49. | :32:55. | |
Barnes now. He is watching Hamilton -Kilmarnock. 76 minutes play, still | :32:56. | :33:01. | |
goalless. Hamilton had the better of the first half. Kilmarnock have been | :33:02. | :33:06. | |
superior in the second period. Some good chances well, Josh McGuinness | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
with a couple. Got away from Ziggy Gordon but couldn't find the target. | :33:11. | :33:17. | |
Then a header wide of the target. Chandler blasted one high and wide | :33:18. | :33:23. | |
before a 28 yard free kick brilliantly saved by Michael | :33:24. | :33:28. | |
McGovern. In the last few minutes, Kilmarnock, who have now introduced | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
Chris Johnson and interplay along with alexia Erin Manco, Obadiah went | :33:33. | :33:40. | |
off, Erin Manco running pastorally McKenzie, striking the ball well but | :33:41. | :33:45. | |
Michael McGovern off his line quickly, doing well to block. Alex | :33:46. | :33:51. | |
Neill started this game, the player-manager for Accies, only his | :33:52. | :33:55. | |
third start of the season, but he substituted himself with Darren lion | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
taking his place. Back to Inverness, Cali against St | :34:01. | :34:05. | |
Johnstone, Paul Mitchell can provide us with an update. Inverness had the | :34:06. | :34:11. | |
best possession in the first half, couldn't get a breakthrough. More | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
even in the second half but Cali Thistle on the scoresheet twice. The | :34:16. | :34:19. | |
first one, Watkins after a lovely ball from Doran returned to | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
Campbell, taking it in his stride. Five minutes later shinny setup | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
Christie, a lovely low Chris bangle drive across the goalkeeper to make | :34:29. | :34:35. | |
it 2-0. Cali Thistle have won the last two fixtures here without even | :34:36. | :34:42. | |
trying. Alloa Athletic against Rangers. It is still 1-0. End to end | :34:43. | :34:53. | |
action. Lots of good play. End to end action in the second half, Kris | :34:54. | :34:57. | |
Boyd landing a header just over, very close to doubling the | :34:58. | :35:06. | |
advantage. A header cleared off the line, and another chance, another | :35:07. | :35:12. | |
conifer Rangers, they could have put the game safe. Alloa Athletic | :35:13. | :35:23. | |
hanging on. Pats, are you greatly surprised that Rangers have clawed | :35:24. | :35:28. | |
their way back into that? First of all I don't want to offend Inverness | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
fans. We would talk talking about them a moment ago. What John Hughes | :35:34. | :35:41. | |
has done is fantastic they needed bounce back. They had a wobble. If | :35:42. | :35:51. | |
you lose two in a row, but the positivity was fantastic, it is what | :35:52. | :35:55. | |
you want to hear as a player. He wasn't planning or getting angry, | :35:56. | :35:58. | |
this happened during the season, don't lose it. It seems to have had | :35:59. | :36:05. | |
the right reaction is. Are you surprised how well Inverness have | :36:06. | :36:08. | |
done under John Hughes? It was the board's choice. Certainly early | :36:09. | :36:15. | |
days. He can certainly get the best out of guys because of his | :36:16. | :36:19. | |
infectious positivity, we know that, but apart from anything else I like | :36:20. | :36:26. | |
the way he wants his team to play. The fact that he gets them to play | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
on the ground and keep on playing and believing whether they win or | :36:31. | :36:35. | |
lose, we need to look at the national team and say when the | :36:36. | :36:38. | |
manager believes in you, you get better. Secondly they play better | :36:39. | :36:44. | |
football as well when the manager believes in them, that's what he | :36:45. | :36:48. | |
does. I was one of the many doubters when John Hughes got the job. I have | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
called that wrong wrong of the many things I have called wrong in | :36:54. | :36:58. | |
football and I am glad. The thing that has really impressed me is, | :36:59. | :37:02. | |
manager use the get out of wholesale new players. He stayed roughly with | :37:03. | :37:06. | |
the squad, Broughton may a couple of new faces in the summer, and I think | :37:07. | :37:11. | |
great credit to John Hughes. There has been another goal so you might | :37:12. | :37:16. | |
have cursed him. Let's find out from Paul. The curse is definitely | :37:17. | :37:23. | |
there! The goal has come for Brian Graham. St Johnstone have a chance. | :37:24. | :37:32. | |
Inverness have four connect -- consecutive home clean sheets. They | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
have to start but all over again and worry about not putting St Johnstone | :37:38. | :37:40. | |
further back in this. 12 minutes to place. Scores for St Johnstone, | :37:41. | :37:54. | |
Brian Graham. I thought he was a good signing. When he signed for | :37:55. | :37:58. | |
Dundee he looked the part. Sometimes a striker has that bearing about | :37:59. | :38:03. | |
him. But he didn't settle into Dundee last season. And he scored a | :38:04. | :38:09. | |
couple of goals. This is his big chance. Of course, he could be a big | :38:10. | :38:15. | |
player this season. It is Kenny Crawford's big chance, he is a | :38:16. | :38:18. | |
reporter at Palmerston watching Queen of the South against Hibs -- | :38:19. | :38:21. | |
the reporter. Hibs have not done much in the | :38:22. | :38:32. | |
second half to make it look like they will score. Good news for James | :38:33. | :38:38. | |
Fowler, the caretaker manager of Queen of the South, in charge last | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
week of the draw at Falkirk and now it looks as if they are going for | :38:44. | :38:51. | |
three points here. Fowler is in serious contention for the permanent | :38:52. | :38:59. | |
manager 's job. Like sending messages by Morse code! The sinking | :39:00. | :39:07. | |
ship is Hibs, but he referred to Kenny talking about James Fowler, | :39:08. | :39:10. | |
big chance for him to take his first step into management and do well. | :39:11. | :39:16. | |
Exactly, if you make a guy player coach for a while, just leave it for | :39:17. | :39:21. | |
a wee while, why panic? You can make a decision on a month or two, let | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
him bedding for while and you will find out. I would wish the best for | :39:27. | :39:33. | |
him. Let's head to Tynecastle, an update from Brian McLaughlin and | :39:34. | :39:41. | |
hearts against Cowdenbeath. Hearts are continuing their progress at the | :39:42. | :39:46. | |
top of the table. Goal number four coming from substitute Dale Carrick. | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
He swivelled and turned and a right footed shot low to the right-hand | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
corner of Robbie Thomson's goal. He started it all fairly far on. | :39:58. | :40:03. | |
Gallagher equalised for Cowdenbeath but into the second-half Jamie Ward | :40:04. | :40:09. | |
go with a glancing header. Then the terrific sty from -- strike from | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
Dale Carrick. Hearts cruising to victory. My fancy talking about | :40:15. | :40:24. | |
Dundee, the City of discovery, the City of two derbies in the space of | :40:25. | :40:29. | |
a few days. The Tangerines play in the League Cup at midweek but they | :40:30. | :40:33. | |
meet in the Premiership tomorrow. The dark Blues are the only unbeaten | :40:34. | :40:36. | |
team in the Premiership. Let's look at some of the action of late. Pat, | :40:37. | :40:44. | |
Hamilton are going well, and Dundee, maybe not quite as well. But | :40:45. | :40:48. | |
unbeaten. Do you know, the thing that jumps out at me, how few goals. | :40:49. | :40:54. | |
Obviously, we will watch the goals, and well done, but is it three in | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
the league so far? If you can build from that defensive position, you | :41:01. | :41:06. | |
are going to be OK. And Paul Hartley, adding he has impressed | :41:07. | :41:13. | |
everyone. Since he walked in the management, he has impressed. Great | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
belief about himself. He does not come across as arrogant. There is no | :41:18. | :41:24. | |
arrogance they are. The belief, with no arrogance. And you have to be | :41:25. | :41:30. | |
like that is to get the best out of your players sometimes. He has done | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
a great job. A big one tomorrow. If he can get a result, the fans on his | :41:35. | :41:44. | |
side but he can relax. I'd agree. I think all the great managers in | :41:45. | :41:54. | |
football are not surely, not ostentatious, they just have good | :41:55. | :41:59. | |
judgement. Sureness about a player, a player that he thinks has got a | :42:00. | :42:02. | |
bit of game. An ability to read the game and be proactive, to try to | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
influence the game. To go about their business quietly. And Paul | :42:08. | :42:15. | |
Hartley has all of that. The Cardiff City thing, and think that would | :42:16. | :42:20. | |
have been too soon. It does not surprise me. Three successive | :42:21. | :42:25. | |
promotions and he has a sure touch. I'm glad he turned it down, because | :42:26. | :42:29. | |
it is too early and Cardiff City is a political basket case. And | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
thirdly, because if he has time to prove himself at Dundee, that is the | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
place. Build the next stage of your career. Obviously attracting | :42:39. | :42:43. | |
attention from down south. They have always looked up here for our | :42:44. | :42:48. | |
coaches. I thought the age of the Scottish manager had ended. We are | :42:49. | :42:55. | |
widely admired. If you look at the number two down there, they are | :42:56. | :42:57. | |
important. They continually look up here. Success is success and they | :42:58. | :43:05. | |
love it. There's been a goal at recreation park, the stadium | :43:06. | :43:13. | |
formerly known as Recreation Park. It is one that piece here. It was a | :43:14. | :43:21. | |
great save from the Alloa keeper but the ball rebounded. He smashed it in | :43:22. | :43:26. | |
front of the goal, and you can probably hear the Rangers fans have | :43:27. | :43:29. | |
finally got their voice. Can they get three points? Can Alloa hang on? | :43:30. | :43:37. | |
More on that later on but let's talk about Dundee United because they | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
have made a decent start in the league. They have done well on their | :43:42. | :43:44. | |
travels this season. They have. Jackie McNamara has, in the main, | :43:45. | :43:50. | |
done a really good job since he went to Tayside. The Scottish Cup final | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
last season was obviously a real disappointment for him but Jackie | :43:55. | :44:00. | |
has also shown great imagination in the transfer market. They have made | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
a fine start this season. And think everything tomorrow points to a | :44:05. | :44:11. | |
really good game. United will be without Nadir Chifte de, who was | :44:12. | :44:20. | |
sent off for being a bit cheeky. He was sent off in such a stupid way, | :44:21. | :44:24. | |
which is silly because he is such a good player. They are the favourites | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
for this game, I would say. They have enough quality, if they play to | :44:29. | :44:33. | |
their capabilities, they should be favourites. But only slight | :44:34. | :44:39. | |
favourites and no more than that. But I am delighted to see derbies. | :44:40. | :44:42. | |
We do not see enough of. It is the only one. In the Premiership. | :44:43. | :44:52. | |
Partick Thistle and Celtic. Of the old classic derbies. I think you are | :44:53. | :44:58. | |
right. I know what you were talking about and you are right. Partick | :44:59. | :45:04. | |
Thistle and Maryhill maybe. Lots of League Cup action to relish in the | :45:05. | :45:07. | |
week ahead but before that, Graham Spiers has his own show. The Graham | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
Norton of goal has been given free rein by the BBC to preview of the | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
Ryder Cup in the sport 14. Here is ace Nick preview. -- a sneak | :45:17. | :45:25. | |
preview. It is one of the greatest sporting events in the world and | :45:26. | :45:28. | |
this is not about money. The players do not get paid. It is a partisan | :45:29. | :45:36. | |
events. It is a wonderful events. It has been my lifetime goal. Having it | :45:37. | :45:41. | |
in Scotland has made it even more special. It is not all about him, it | :45:42. | :45:48. | |
is about the goal. And it is at 7:30pm tomorrow night on BBC One | :45:49. | :45:52. | |
Scotland. Tell me why I should watch this? And hope they keep the footage | :45:53. | :45:58. | |
of a brilliant drive on a team that whiny old at the PGA centenary. I | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
think if you are a goal fan in Scotland, this is an amazing week | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
coming up. It is going to be fantastic. A quarter of a million | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
people going through the gates between Tuesday and Sunday. Amazing. | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
That includes practice days but there will be... The course itself | :46:16. | :46:21. | |
is not to everyone's liking but it is a natural amphitheatre for | :46:22. | :46:24. | |
supporters. It should be a great Ryder Cup. Adding off to another | :46:25. | :46:31. | |
amphitheatre, with a tremendous pedigree, Tynecastle. Hearts at home | :46:32. | :46:37. | |
to Cowdenbeath. I think you can hear, it is another goal for hearts. | :46:38. | :46:45. | |
And what a strike it was. Dale Gallagher, his second of the | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
afternoon. -- Dale Carrick. Just seconds later, he curled an effort | :46:51. | :46:55. | |
around the wall, under the crossbar. The rivet play by Dale | :46:56. | :47:01. | |
Carrick. They are going to be top of the table this evening. | :47:02. | :47:09. | |
Do you want to talk about the goal, Hearts, or QPR against Stoke? The | :47:10. | :47:17. | |
lunch time match, QPR against Stoke City. Marcuse came back to one of | :47:18. | :47:23. | |
his former clubs eager to make a point. And he went home with one of | :47:24. | :47:27. | |
both he will be unhappy that Stoke could not hang on to claim all three | :47:28. | :47:36. | |
points. Twice they led, first from Diouf, and then from Crouch, who | :47:37. | :47:42. | |
played for Rangers at the start of the century. Stoke City wasted | :47:43. | :47:51. | |
chances to increase their lead in the second half and after Begovic | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
kept out a fear header, Niko Krancjar curled in a magnificent | :47:56. | :47:58. | |
free kick two minutes from time. Stoke, still unbeaten from home but | :47:59. | :48:06. | |
it could have been a lot more. QPR showing sufficient spirits to | :48:07. | :48:11. | |
deserve something. Two really big personalities managing the sides | :48:12. | :48:14. | |
there. Marcuse with a point to prove against the team that sacked him not | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
so long ago? He probably feels that slightly but he has been at a few | :48:20. | :48:26. | |
clubs so he has to get over that. Playing against QPR, it was rugby | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
again. Every corner was coming in and they were grabbing it. It looked | :48:31. | :48:36. | |
ridiculous. I do not a fan of that style? You should play by the rules, | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
if you possibly can. What injustice in the end, because that call from a | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
free kick, which was brilliant, came from another free kick from the | :48:46. | :48:50. | |
Stoke defenders. When they play forward, they are great but do not | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
like how they resort to rough tactics in the back. Everybody loves | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
Harry Redknapp apart from the taxman. If they are going to stay | :48:58. | :49:03. | |
up, they are going to have to start winning at home. Yes. And Harry | :49:04. | :49:10. | |
Redknapp as the comet it was saying, he seems to have been around | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
many blocks, quite often having to put out a fire. I have been | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
intrigued by his relationship with Niko Krancjar, a player he has loved | :49:20. | :49:23. | |
and courted all the time. Remember when he came on the scene, Celtic | :49:24. | :49:28. | |
were reputed to be looking at him but he headed to top them and he | :49:29. | :49:31. | |
could not get a game. He left Tottenham and Redknapp went to QPR. | :49:32. | :49:36. | |
Niko Krancjar finally arrived at QPR and he is a really good player but I | :49:37. | :49:39. | |
do not know how many fires Redknapp has had to put out. This is another | :49:40. | :49:46. | |
one that he's going to be at. And what is your prognosis for QPR? They | :49:47. | :49:51. | |
will do incredibly well to stay up. Everything I have seen this season, | :49:52. | :49:56. | |
particularly against Manchester United, it was almost a joke. The | :49:57. | :50:04. | |
defenders never left their half. It sounds harsh to say it but real is a | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
long way from the player he used to be, Rio Ferdinand. -- riyal. Next | :50:10. | :50:17. | |
week, they have just coming up. The full times are trickling in, the | :50:18. | :50:20. | |
first from John Barnes at New Douglas Park. It finished 0-0. And | :50:21. | :50:27. | |
when you know that three of the last six matches between these sides have | :50:28. | :50:30. | |
been drawn, you should have known that it will now be four out of | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
seven. Hamilton had the better of the first 45 minutes with Kilmarnock | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
the better of the second period. In the first half, Tony Andreu had a | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
terrific shot wide of the target. He then had another effort from his | :50:44. | :50:47. | |
left foot, the tipped over the bar by Craig Samson. Turning away | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
another to refit long range strike not long after, five minutes before | :50:53. | :50:59. | |
the interval. Killie rung the changes before the second half. The | :51:00. | :51:08. | |
best move of the match was from Kilmarnock's perspective a lovely | :51:09. | :51:11. | |
through pass setting up Rory McArdle seek, but Michael McGovern had plans | :51:12. | :51:19. | |
to save. Near the end, Crawford had a free kick towards the back post | :51:20. | :51:22. | |
and Samson did the same but it finished goalless. Accies are seven | :51:23. | :51:27. | |
games unbeaten. Kilmarnock have never won at New Douglas Park in | :51:28. | :51:33. | |
eight visits. Three goals and Pittodrie for | :51:34. | :51:36. | |
Aberdeen against Ross County. Let's get the report from Scott Davie. | :51:37. | :51:43. | |
Goals from Adam Rooney, David Goodwillie and Peter Pawlett gave | :51:44. | :51:48. | |
Aberdeen their biggest win since Partick Thistle in November. The | :51:49. | :51:51. | |
only disappointment will be that they did not equal or double the | :51:52. | :51:56. | |
tally against Ross County who have now lost their first seven league | :51:57. | :52:00. | |
matches. If it had not been for the goalkeeper, the defeat would have | :52:01. | :52:05. | |
been at least doubled as the team was as inept as Aberdeen were | :52:06. | :52:08. | |
periodically impressive. What will disappoint the manager is that | :52:09. | :52:13. | |
having weathered a number of attacks, the Aberdeen goals came | :52:14. | :52:16. | |
from set pieces. A free kick was provided. David Goodwillie was | :52:17. | :52:21. | |
unmarked in the box to head home at 19 and 25 minutes respectively. | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
Peter Pawlett scored with the aid of a deflection after the break. | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
Goodwillie hit the post after having a goal as a goalkeeper. And Aberdeen | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
kept making great saves. Most uncomfortable moment of the | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
afternoon was when Brian Flood and Jack were booked for an altercation | :52:41. | :52:46. | |
between themselves. Heading to Tynecastle. Six goals, five for | :52:47. | :52:57. | |
hearts. Wait for it! It is finished and it is Hearts five, Cowdenbeath | :52:58. | :53:05. | |
with one. They tried to get back to the Scottish Premiership next | :53:06. | :53:08. | |
season. Billy Kings started the ball rolling early on in the game with a | :53:09. | :53:13. | |
tremendous left footed shot. But Declan Gallagher equalised for | :53:14. | :53:19. | |
Cowdenbeath, and it was one all at the break. Jamie Walker with a | :53:20. | :53:26. | |
glancing header made it to the one. Osman with a penalty, gave them | :53:27. | :53:32. | |
number three. The fourth and fifth came from Dale Carrick, just on as a | :53:33. | :53:38. | |
subject. Right foot shot into the right-hand corner of goal. And then | :53:39. | :53:42. | |
a stunning 25 yarder into the roof of the net. It is all about hearts | :53:43. | :53:46. | |
this afternoon in the sunshine. There was no way that Cowdenbeath | :53:47. | :53:54. | |
were going to get close. The next 30 seconds will be all about Kenny | :53:55. | :54:00. | |
McIntyre and Alloa. It is just finished, 1-1. All players have gone | :54:01. | :54:05. | |
off to a fantastic reception. Fantastic in the first half and they | :54:06. | :54:12. | |
were relieved when Tiffany gave them a header in the first half. Rangers, | :54:13. | :54:19. | |
not at all happy with the players. The water bottles flying when Alloa | :54:20. | :54:22. | |
went ahead. He did not improve in the second half. They had good | :54:23. | :54:25. | |
chances to put pressure on. And eventually they made the break. The | :54:26. | :54:30. | |
ball broke in favour of Templeton. Slammed home. They then piled | :54:31. | :54:37. | |
forward, looking for a winner. Massive support behind that goal. | :54:38. | :54:40. | |
Jon Daly thought he had a couple minutes from time. But the flag went | :54:41. | :54:46. | |
up for offside. It was a close call and then at the end, a glancing | :54:47. | :54:50. | |
header from a free kick inches wide of the post. But it would have been | :54:51. | :54:53. | |
tough on the home side if Rangers had got the winner. The home side | :54:54. | :54:57. | |
were really good today and Rangers took too long to get going. | :54:58. | :55:04. | |
After the Falkirk Stadium, against Dumbarton. | :55:05. | :55:10. | |
-- off to the Falkirk Stadium. Falkirk dominated the first 45 | :55:11. | :55:13. | |
minutes and should have added to their only goal which came after | :55:14. | :55:19. | |
only four minutes on the clock. That was headed in from close range. The | :55:20. | :55:23. | |
home side continued to dominate the proceedings in the second half, with | :55:24. | :55:29. | |
Jones and Smith going close, but the side refused to go down without a | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
fight, creating two great chances in the last five minutes. Chris Cain | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
brought out a brilliant save from goal and then Dishfire past the | :55:38. | :55:44. | |
post. Nearly getting the equaliser. With time added on, Dumbarton got an | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
unlikely equaliser, their best player of the day, Chris Cain, | :55:50. | :55:52. | |
bundling the ball home from close range to give Dumbarton the share of | :55:53. | :55:53. | |
the points. It finished 1-1. I wonder if Kenny Crawford can match | :55:54. | :56:06. | |
that for excitement? Queen of the South versus Saints. Not much | :56:07. | :56:10. | |
excitement here but a great day for Queen of the South, a victory over | :56:11. | :56:14. | |
Hibs, their first league victory over Hibs since 1964, so that in | :56:15. | :56:19. | |
itself is something for the fans to go home happy about. Ian McShane's | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
first goal of the season separate the sides, on the half-hour mark. T. | :56:25. | :56:30. | |
Brilliantly by Gavin Reilly. All he had to do was get it past the | :56:31. | :56:36. | |
goalkeeper. Apart from that a poor game to be honest, very few chances, | :56:37. | :56:41. | |
Hibs only chance after seven minutes when Matthew Kennedy stuffed a shot | :56:42. | :56:44. | |
he should have done better with, and right at the end, as sign of | :56:45. | :56:49. | |
desperation, the Hibs goalkeeper tried to steer home a goal from a | :56:50. | :56:53. | |
corner. He already has one goal this season but was unable to do it | :56:54. | :56:58. | |
again. The Queen of the South manager James Fowler still unbeaten | :56:59. | :57:01. | |
after two games, could be in the running for the job, we will find | :57:02. | :57:08. | |
out in the coming days, but a great victory for the home side. Iain | :57:09. | :57:11. | |
McGregor with a winner and not one single Lovejoy reference! Kenny is | :57:12. | :57:15. | |
too young to remember. Paul has other things on his mind, Inverness- | :57:16. | :57:21. | |
St Johnstone, it is all over. It is, this game may have taken an hour to | :57:22. | :57:24. | |
bloom but when did the home side showed their ability to create, | :57:25. | :57:29. | |
scoring twice in five minutes to finally turned their advantage in | :57:30. | :57:33. | |
tour win. The opening goal after 60 minutes, Watkins and Doran | :57:34. | :57:44. | |
combining, Watkins's first goal since February. Five minutes later | :57:45. | :57:48. | |
the second, shinny inside the box nearly drove to cross but Christie | :57:49. | :57:54. | |
calling for it, great first touch, second good as well as he knocked it | :57:55. | :58:00. | |
low into the corner for 2-0. Inverness finally conceded a home | :58:01. | :58:04. | |
goal. They didn't make their record five clean sheets. 13 minutes to | :58:05. | :58:09. | |
play, St Johnstone had hoped. Morgan shot wide with two minutes to play | :58:10. | :58:15. | |
from 20 yards, Saints best chance of an equaliser but Inverness Caley | :58:16. | :58:23. | |
Thistle, back on top of the table. Back to the Championship. Details of | :58:24. | :58:28. | |
Livingston's match at home to Raith Rovers. It finished Livingston | :58:29. | :58:34. | |
0-Raith Rovers one and a valuable three points for Raith Rovers. The | :58:35. | :58:43. | |
lay-off from Ryan Conroy got toe poked past Alan Jamieson in the | :58:44. | :58:47. | |
Livingston goal. They continue to press the defence but efforts from | :58:48. | :58:50. | |
Jacobs and McKenna were not enough and in the second half Craig said | :58:51. | :58:57. | |
this was deemed too broad Christian Nardi down in the box but the | :58:58. | :59:02. | |
penalty was tipped over the bar. Closer the home side a few minutes | :59:03. | :59:09. | |
later but the effort went wide. That takes us nicely round to our | :59:10. | :59:11. | |
classified round-up. Partick Thistle versus St Mirren was | :59:12. | :59:26. | |
played last night. St Mirren got their first win of the | :59:27. | :03:06. | |
season last night away to Partick Thistle. Looking good for Hearts. | :03:07. | :03:21. | |
Raith Rovers hanging in well. Cowdenbeath the only team without a | :03:22. | :03:22. | |
win. I was in Arbroath the other night | :03:23. | :03:38. | |
for the referendum. Something for you to cheer on, Pat, | :03:39. | :04:02. | |
Chelsea have gone top of the table without kicking a ball this weekend. | :04:03. | :04:28. | |
Newcastle United are still without a win this season. | :04:29. | :04:51. | |
I hope we have piqued your interest in matters English this afternoon. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
More details now on some of the matches in the top division down | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
their starting with Aston Villa at home to Arsenal, over to Ivan | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Gaskell. This game just over 90 minutes but frankly it was over in | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
three devastating first of minutes, Mesut Ozil, Danny Welbeck and | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
Sissoko with an unfortunate own goal turning it past Brad Goos and. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Devastated and Aston Villa side depleted by illness before the game | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
and even during it, but who started so well with an energetic this play. | :05:27. | :05:42. | |
They might have taken the lead when Ciaran Clarke's header was well | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
saved by Szczesny from point-blank range but those three goals rip the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
heart out of the game and Aston Villa, who now haven't beaten | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Arsenal here in 16 attempts, but in the end Arsenal cruised home | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
winners. We are off to Saint James 's Park, Newcastle United at home to | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
Hull City this afternoon, Eilidh Barbour watching this. What an | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
exciting end to this match. Could this be a get out of jail card for | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Alan Pardew? That was a performance Newcastle haven't seen this season. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
They found themselves two goals down, Nikica Jelavic with a | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
spectacular volley but the build-up play, a flick from Diame wonderful | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
as well, Ben Diame himself with a great shot from the edge of the | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
box. Newcastle fought back, almost as if they had a fear of going | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
behind. They went bye-bye do it -- went behind and found away of coming | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
back. Cisse with both goals. Coloccini with a great effort at the | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
end, also screaming for a penalty at two each which was not given, but in | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
the end of fantastic match. Off now to the Liberty Stadium, Swansea at | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
home to Southampton, he is Marc Webber. Swansea City zero -1 | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
Southampton, the man at the centre of the story will not appear on your | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
pictures, he is having an early bath, Wilfried Bony's two yellow | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
cards turn the tide, his second card arguably a red card offence alone. | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
It took Southampton a while to break them down despite being a man up. | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
Victor Wanyama kept on his feet. With ten minutes to go he gave | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
Southampton a victory. An enthralling game. Roy Hodgson would | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
have got value for money but the Swans will be aggrieved at Wilfried | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
Bony's early departure. Our final report from Will Perry watching | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
Burnley against Sunderland. Goalless, 31 shots between them but | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
no goals. The positives for Burnley, three consecutive clean sheets, | :07:42. | :07:51. | |
unbeaten in three. 47 goal partnership strikers Danny Ings and | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Sam Vokes injured today. Jones until Dell should have done better with | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
home side chances in the first. Scott Armfield had a second | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
second-half shot turned around the post. Patrick van and had struck the | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
right post from 30 plus yards for Sunderland and it rebranded onto the | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
Burnley keeper and out of danger. Trips to West Brom to come. | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
Sunderland 's fourth draw at five, all square at Moor. I'm afraid | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
ladies and gentlemen I was going to ask Pat to talk about Man City | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
-Chelsea but we have run out of time. If you like -- out enjoy the | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
highlights tomorrow with Jonathan. We are back the same time next week | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
-- if you liked our show. That is us all washed up, banks to patent | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
Graham for their wit and wisdom and thanks to you for watching. See you | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
soon. -- thank you to Pat and Graham. | :08:57. | :08:57. |
