:09:26. > :09:31.don't think it was going in, I don't want to take anything away
:09:31. > :09:37.from him, but it took a deflection. Neil Lennon thought his players
:09:37. > :09:42.were wasteful in front of goal. He said the fund six were a real let-
:09:42. > :09:47.down and as you can see from this, Celtic had loads of pressure and
:09:47. > :09:53.had loads of chances in the game? By the looks of it, Celtic have
:09:53. > :09:58.lost the ball. They got into some good areas and the frustration as a
:09:58. > :10:02.manager is you keep missing most chances. But St Johnstone earned
:10:02. > :10:07.their three points. Chris Collins hit the post last week against

:10:11. > :10:17.That is exactly what it was from Celtic's perspective. They had lots

:17:23. > :17:28.it! Of course, it is his goal! Motherwell were frustrated when
:17:28. > :17:33.they got the goal in the net, it was Jamie Murphy who put the ball
:17:33. > :17:38.away and it was a fantastic training ground move. The movement

:17:44. > :17:48.off... You need to understand if they bring out the ratings of this
:17:48. > :17:54.game and the referee has to stick to the director. Does the ball play
:17:54. > :17:57.the hand? I do not think so. I think it bounced up and was
:17:57. > :18:01.probably not controlled properly and he has inadvertently controlled
:18:01. > :18:07.the ball and put it away. I would like to ask the referees what they
:18:07. > :18:11.think. What killed Motherwell today was two week for counter-attacks
:18:11. > :18:18.from Rangers. This in stoppage time when Motherwell looked as though
:18:18. > :18:22.they might square the game. horrible time to concede. But Kyle
:18:22. > :18:27.Lafferty pulls off to the back of Defence and this is a brilliant
:18:28. > :18:37.finish. He have not much margin to put it in and he pulled off the

:19:02. > :19:04.Well done. Let's see now how Kenny's Kilmarnock fared at home to

:20:26. > :20:31.
:20:31. > :20:41.clipped this too much. Taken well by Manual Pascali. That is a free

:23:43. > :23:51.assistant holding up the flag. It is a common perception it you
:23:51. > :23:59.have continued a footballing philosophy, but I think it was
:23:59. > :24:04.yours. I think it was combined. Can I say something about the attacks
:24:04. > :24:11.of Kilmarnock? It is funny when you reflect on the game and you look
:24:11. > :24:15.back in the afternoon and say that it was a decent game of football.

:24:45. > :24:50.Sometimes it was physical. Debate dish it out today, Hearts? -- did
:24:50. > :24:55.they. They did and if you do it in the letter of the law it is all
:24:55. > :25:01.right. They picked up a few bookings, and not from me, but I do
:25:01. > :25:10.think they did over-indulge. But the referee did his job and it
:25:10. > :25:16.ended up as a zero goals. James Staton was a real handful -- James
:25:16. > :25:26.Dayton. Two of the four yellow card were against him. Most were broken
:25:26. > :25:28.
:25:28. > :25:32.justified reason, and sometimes they get away with it. The
:25:32. > :25:40.referee's remit is to let the game flow and develop fly, but that was

:26:00. > :26:06.said this was not your best seasons. I think we worked hard last season
:26:06. > :26:12.and this was a tough game. This was a great finish, one cross from the
:26:12. > :26:16.left-back and the other scored by Paul Heffernan was from the right
:26:16. > :26:22.back which we encourage. Great skill from James Dayton. I said

:26:29. > :26:32.The full-back was fouled at outside the box. -- outside. Great ball in
:26:32. > :26:38.and brilliant movement from Paul Heffernan. Kilmarnock are still

:28:31. > :28:36.goalkeeper, now George McGuinness of the season, to the relief of the
:28:36. > :28:43.home crowd. That first Aberdeen goal had
:28:43. > :28:50.finally arrived in the first game of the SPL season, and about time!
:28:50. > :28:55.As a footballer, and you do not want to make a mistake here. New
:28:55. > :29:00.signing Roman Golobart caught on the ball, Scott Vernon showed no
:29:00. > :29:05.mercy. Two goals to Aberdeen. A shocking place to make a mistake
:29:05. > :29:11.and a bad start to the 19-year-old Spanish defender newly arrived on
:29:11. > :29:17.loan from Wigan. And it was not going Caley Thistles away. The
:29:17. > :29:22.referee allowed play on and then blew as the ball found Jonny Hayes,
:29:22. > :29:27.very frustrating. Nelson was the star player for Aberdeen, his free
:29:27. > :29:35.kick bouncing all the way through and off the post. In the second
:29:35. > :29:39.half, a mistake from the Aberdeen defender led to this. An angry
:29:39. > :29:42.Terry Butcher had been breaking things in the dressing room at
:29:42. > :29:50.half-time and it seemed to rouse his players who should have done
:29:50. > :29:54.better from this position. Jonny Hayes and Richie Foran again foiled
:29:54. > :30:02.by last-minute defending. Aberdeen were not be totally spent force in
:30:02. > :30:06.the second half, this goal was denied. A shot from Nelson blocked.
:30:07. > :30:12.But over all, Inverness were dominant in the second half. 21-
:30:12. > :30:17.year-old Gavin Morrison with this that was well saved by David
:30:17. > :30:25.Gonzalez. Then with 11 minutes to play, another Inverness attack,
:30:25. > :30:32.another mistake and Richie Foran finally pulled a goal back. The
:30:32. > :30:37.goal deserved and a slightly unorthodox 1-2. On balance of
:30:37. > :30:47.chances, it could have finished event, David Gonzalez with a fine
:30:47. > :30:47.
:30:47. > :30:50.Aberdeen desperately wanted that win, their first of the season.
:30:50. > :30:59.McGuinness played a part in that goal. And don't know what the
:30:59. > :31:09.Spanish centre half was doing. He looked up, got his head up. I don't
:31:09. > :31:10.
:31:10. > :31:15.know what happened that he went to ground. If that was bad, but the
:31:15. > :31:20.player on loan from Wigan, this was even worse, letting in Scott
:31:21. > :31:25.Vernon? Here made an horrendous mistake. He is looking for movement
:31:25. > :31:32.and there is no movement to play out. He dwelt on it, and I think he
:31:32. > :31:36.slipped. Inverness at the bottom of the SPL with just one point. They
:31:36. > :31:41.have played a lot of good football this season, I see them creating
:31:41. > :31:48.lots of chances every Sunday night on this programme. Yesterday's game
:31:48. > :31:52.pretty similar. This was chalked off and was brought back for the
:31:53. > :31:56.foul. They are having a lot of bad luck at the moment. There are so
:31:56. > :32:01.many things that happen, you get the trend in football were you hit
:32:02. > :32:08.a spell and nothing goes right. This is a perfect example of it
:32:08. > :32:14.again. It affects the confidence and you are unlucky to be beaten
:32:14. > :32:18.and you feel the whole world is against you. I had a report on
:32:18. > :32:23.yesterday's game, Inverness, they gave a good account and they
:32:23. > :32:27.finally got a goal back. But it is too little, too late. What you're
:32:27. > :32:33.saying is true, you can only be unlucky for so long and then it
:32:33. > :32:40.begins to play on people's minds? Exactly. I'm sure Terry is starting
:32:40. > :32:47.to wonder if he has run over a black cat! Most of the games, I
:32:47. > :32:54.watched them against Motherwell, up until half-time Motherwell went in
:32:54. > :32:59.and won the game 3-0. But it was not as clean cut as that. I feel
:32:59. > :33:04.over the season you will get you look and it will come and go and it
:33:04. > :33:12.ebbs and flows like that. It would change for them. Are as long as it
:33:13. > :33:17.does not change next weekend when you are Inverness. I will be spying
:33:17. > :33:20.on them for the League Cup. At the next week, I don't mind.
:33:20. > :33:23.survival is still a long way off for newly promoted Dunfermline but
:33:23. > :33:25.they're certainly off to an encouraging start. They won at St
:33:25. > :33:35.Johnstone last weekend and returned to Tayside yesterday to play Dundee
:33:35. > :33:35.
:33:35. > :34:28.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:34:28. > :34:38.expect him to at least test the ball in from Rankin. - - test the
:34:38. > :34:49.
:34:49. > :34:59.It was quick thinking from Dixon and also Paul Gallagher. What a
:34:59. > :35:04.
:35:04. > :35:14.stunning save to keep the scoresheet blank. He must have seen
:35:14. > :35:25.
:35:25. > :35:35.this lake. Good technique from great run from Rankin. A glancing
:35:35. > :35:39.
:35:39. > :35:44.of possession and in efforts on goal. Here they come again. Rankin
:35:44. > :35:54.gets a shot away. Gallagher was sprawling to his left, don't know
:35:54. > :36:12.
:36:12. > :36:22.if he was getting there. Ranking better spell. United conceding the
:36:22. > :36:26.
:36:26. > :36:30.throw in. It has been a bit better potentially the winning goal with
:36:30. > :36:37.only six minutes remaining. Dunfermline make the breakthrough.
:36:37. > :36:42.Almost out of nothing. Terrific drive by Burns. A great technique,
:36:42. > :36:48.head down and shot past the goalkeeper. The United fans do not
:36:48. > :36:58.think there is a way back. Do the players had the belief to pull
:36:58. > :37:15.
:37:15. > :37:16.just hasn't been United's day in front of goal.
:37:16. > :37:21.front of goal. 34 League games left for
:37:21. > :37:25.Dunfermline. It is a good start and it takes a little bit of pressure
:37:25. > :37:30.off now they have newly arrived back in the SPL. They have the
:37:30. > :37:36.momentum, what a result that it was. To come away with three points, not
:37:36. > :37:42.many teams can do that. Since January, they have won a lot of
:37:42. > :37:47.games at hammered eyes. A brilliant result for the manager, he has done
:37:47. > :37:55.fantastically well. Two big moment in the match, the ball off his hip,
:37:55. > :38:01.but Paul Gallagher's goalkeeping, that saved his fantastic. What a
:38:01. > :38:08.save that is. Dundee United will be wondering where they were going to
:38:08. > :38:12.get the goal. He has saved two penalties as well this season. I
:38:12. > :38:18.think it is instinct. Surely he cannot see that ball coming through
:38:18. > :38:24.so many bodies. This is 85 minutes. Dunfermline might have been holding
:38:24. > :38:32.on for a point at that stage, they wanted all three? Paul Burns, he
:38:32. > :38:37.played for Queen Of The South last season. What a brilliant finish.
:38:38. > :38:43.Making a forward run so late in the game. Great result. A win away from
:38:43. > :38:48.home this weekend, and a home last weekend against St Johnstone their
:38:48. > :38:53.one as well. Six out of six. These points are like gold dust at this
:38:53. > :38:58.stage? A watch Dunfermline in the first game against St Mirren. I
:38:58. > :39:03.think the manager would admit they did not look too clever that night.
:39:03. > :39:07.But they have kicked on since then. I was unsure they have a lot about
:39:07. > :39:11.them? I felt that, but having watched them they have started to
:39:11. > :39:18.gel into the lead really well and they have the momentum. When you
:39:18. > :39:22.sustain momentum, you do form good habits. And like your team, still
:39:22. > :39:24.unbeaten. St Mirren have been good to watch so far this season
:39:24. > :39:27.although they suffered their first defeat last weekend at home to
:39:27. > :39:37.Motherwell. Could they bounce back against Hibs at Easter Road?
:39:37. > :39:52.
:39:52. > :39:56.against Hibs. And this cross almost set up Steven Thompson but he fired
:39:56. > :40:02.into the side netting. What Hibs needed was enjoy after the misery
:40:02. > :40:07.of the demolition at Kilmarnock last weekend. They got some. Garry
:40:07. > :40:11.O'Connor proper team from a break of the ball and he finished with
:40:11. > :40:19.styled to bag his third S Pill goal of the season. Perhaps now, it's
:40:19. > :40:25.can get their season under way properly? They almost doubled their
:40:25. > :40:29.lead. Ivan Sproule goal with a diagonal run followed by a diagonal
:40:29. > :40:34.shot. Had this gone in we might have had a different game. Three
:40:34. > :40:41.minutes before half-time and a mistake from Callum boots allowed
:40:41. > :40:51.in the Dutch left back from St Mirren who laid the ball off
:40:51. > :40:56.
:40:56. > :41:06.selfishly -- unselfish laid it on would go into the break level,
:41:06. > :41:11.
:41:11. > :41:17.another Hibs mistake. Powder-puff defending. Steven Thompson was on
:41:17. > :41:22.target this time. Two mistakes and Hibs 2-1 down. Could they turn it
:41:22. > :41:28.round in the second half? The short answer was No, a lacklustre
:41:28. > :41:32.response from Hibs, this drive off target about as good as it got. It
:41:32. > :41:37.is the Edinburgh Derby next weekend and once again, the pressure is
:41:37. > :41:41.mounting on the boss, Colin mounting on the boss, Colin
:41:41. > :41:45.Calderwood. You were at that game yesterday Kenny. There is a
:41:45. > :41:49.refreshing desire in the SPL with a few teams, including your own to
:41:49. > :41:53.play attacking football and St Mirren are one of those? Singer and
:41:53. > :41:57.have done the League proud the season. Danny has come in with
:41:57. > :42:02.fresh ideas wanting to stimulate the way they played. He deserves a
:42:02. > :42:06.lot of credit. I could see it yesterday, there were periods in
:42:06. > :42:12.the first half when Hibs were on cruise control and they were
:42:13. > :42:16.dominant. They got their goal and then they make two mistakes. St
:42:16. > :42:19.Mirren in the second half were tremendous, they played well and
:42:20. > :42:26.kept the ball. They were patient in their build-ups and I was very
:42:26. > :42:30.pleased with them. I felt a bit, you know, at times they were
:42:30. > :42:36.passing the ball and the movement was there and they were getting
:42:36. > :42:42.shots off. There was penetration in their play also. He has made a big
:42:42. > :42:49.contribution to their own downfall. Credit to Tessem on both goals,
:42:49. > :42:55.first the Booth, following his corner kick, he gets it wrong?
:42:55. > :42:59.came across, he is a very young player. The good thing long-term,
:42:59. > :43:08.he will learn from this. He feels uncomfortable on his weaker side
:43:08. > :43:18.and misreads the bounce. A great presence of mind, thanks very much.
:43:18. > :43:24.I'm sure the Hibs fans know the second goal, they had a midfield
:43:24. > :43:30.player at at right-back. It is a midfield situation, he loses his
:43:30. > :43:35.concentration. Bingo, they have taken the lead within three minutes.
:43:35. > :43:40.Hibs are struggling at the moment and Colin Calderwood would concede
:43:40. > :43:48.that, not helped by your own team thumping them last week. Garry
:43:48. > :43:54.O'Connor scored all three goals this season. They show what he is
:43:54. > :43:57.capable of? It is instinct, he goes across the keeper. He is clinical
:43:57. > :44:03.and he is a strong, a big player. This is a great finish,
:44:03. > :44:08.improvisation. In off the far post. A great finish that was.
:44:08. > :44:12.Determination, gets a couple of lucky bounces, the keeper over-
:44:13. > :44:16.compensated by the near post, but really good finish. I do feel for
:44:16. > :44:23.the manager because he works hard and he wants them to play the right
:44:23. > :44:27.way. He is playing people out of position, a midfield player playing
:44:27. > :44:33.right-back. He has lost Michael Hart through injury and he has not
:44:33. > :44:43.been able to fill that position. Let's have a look at the Clydesdale
:44:43. > :44:55.
:44:55. > :45:05.Next weekend it is three games on Saturday, three games on Sunday.
:45:05. > :45:11.
:45:11. > :45:14.Rangers against Aberdeen, the first Edinburgh Derby of the season.
:45:14. > :45:16.We'll be back next Sunday night, BBC One at ten twenty five.
