0:00:16 > 0:00:26We have seen the last of the SPL for 2012. We will have these two
0:00:26 > 0:00:39
0:00:39 > 0:00:49Gary Robson! That is a superb free But what does save from Jamie
0:00:49 > 0:00:55
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Aberdeen goalkeeper Jamie Langfield is here. First Easter Road, Hibs
0:01:00 > 0:01:10have only won one game in seven, and Celtic are almost six game-
0:01:10 > 0:01:15
0:01:15 > 0:01:25seven SPL games. Looking through reaction against the SPL leaders.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29
0:01:29 > 0:01:38Griffiths. Their goal drought is over for him. His 14th of the
0:01:38 > 0:01:48season. Celtic claimed he was offside. Emilio Izaguirre seemed to
0:01:48 > 0:02:01
0:02:01 > 0:02:11kick from Leigh Griffiths. Hibernian have not beaten Celtic in
0:02:11 > 0:02:11
0:02:11 > 0:02:56Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds
0:02:56 > 0:03:06more than four years here. They are going 10 points clear at the top of
0:03:06 > 0:03:27
0:03:27 > 0:03:33the league with a victory here. scuff it. Another big chance for
0:03:33 > 0:03:43Hibernian. Celtic have had more possession but Hibernian have had
0:03:43 > 0:04:01
0:04:01 > 0:04:11Hibernian have defended superbly in this game. They looked a different
0:04:11 > 0:04:32
0:04:32 > 0:04:36animal from the one they lost to with the left foot. He has scored
0:04:37 > 0:04:46several Celtic goals from outside the penalty area. That was a really
0:04:47 > 0:04:55
0:04:55 > 0:05:05taking anything from this game disappeared over the crossbar with
0:05:05 > 0:05:13
0:05:13 > 0:05:17good save by Ben Williams. Brilliant save. This took a
0:05:17 > 0:05:24horrible deflection off James McPake. Ben Williams somehow clawed
0:05:24 > 0:05:29it is safety. One goal did it for Hibernian. It takes Leigh Griffiths
0:05:29 > 0:05:37back to the top of the scoring chart alongside Billy Mackay. Niall
0:05:37 > 0:05:40McGinn is just behind him. That was a classy finish. Unbelievable
0:05:40 > 0:05:47a classy finish. Unbelievable finish. You see his first touch,
0:05:47 > 0:05:54not the best defending from Celtic. Great finish. That angle is never
0:05:54 > 0:06:00easy. He put a bit of pace on it as well. He is right-back in the goals
0:06:00 > 0:06:03with that. Fantastic finish. The Hibernian fans are obviously
0:06:03 > 0:06:09desperate he stays beyond January. Our Hibernian under pressure to
0:06:09 > 0:06:17keep him? You would think so. His goal ratio has been incredible this
0:06:17 > 0:06:24year. He is a handful to play against. 14 goals, is it? That is
0:06:24 > 0:06:29great. The Hibernian will be desperate to keep him, but
0:06:29 > 0:06:33hopefully they cannot for the other teams in the SPL. You say he's a
0:06:33 > 0:06:38handful to play against, is one problem that he is liable to shoot
0:06:38 > 0:06:43from anywhere? That is a problem you have got with him. The minute
0:06:43 > 0:06:49he get half a yard on a defender he will put it. He can get the ball to
0:06:49 > 0:06:59move all over the place. It is that such a hard thing to deal with as a
0:06:59 > 0:07:04goalkeeper. Is he as clean striker of the ball in the SPL as there is?
0:07:04 > 0:07:09He is. That is why his goals ratio has been great this year. If he
0:07:09 > 0:07:13stayed at Hibernian it would be great for them. Disappointing
0:07:13 > 0:07:17results for Celtic but they are still six clear at the top. You
0:07:17 > 0:07:22played for Celtic in the Champions League last 16, how big an
0:07:22 > 0:07:27achievement is that? An amazing achievement, you need to give
0:07:27 > 0:07:31credit to kneel, he rebuilt the side. He has built a very good side.
0:07:31 > 0:07:38-- credit to Neil Lennon. To get to the last 16, the way they did it,
0:07:38 > 0:07:43beating Barcelona, is amazing. The one thing that is affecting them is
0:07:43 > 0:07:51missing Rangers in the league. The mindset has creaked then now that
0:07:51 > 0:07:56Rangers are not there. There must be a different intensity. It is,
0:07:56 > 0:08:03you come back off the back of a Champions League game, the next
0:08:03 > 0:08:10game three days later after that is hard. You come from that to a
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Premier League game. Now that the Champions League is a month away,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21it has creaked into them that they can relax, get away with it. Neil
0:08:21 > 0:08:29Lennon will stand back into them. Credit to Hibernian, they had some
0:08:30 > 0:08:34clear cut chances and could have scored a few more goals. Seven
0:08:34 > 0:08:44points in November for Dundee but only one in December. They had a
0:08:44 > 0:08:50
0:08:50 > 0:09:00the ground after finding themselves at the bottom of the SPL. That was
0:09:00 > 0:09:22
0:09:22 > 0:09:28a good chance. Kevin McBride. He one. Play will be stopped. The
0:09:28 > 0:09:38referee is allowing Andrew Considine to be attended to. He
0:09:38 > 0:09:43just takes there. That does not look good for Andrew Considine.
0:09:43 > 0:09:53Colin Nish lining up a free kick. That was not far away at all from
0:09:53 > 0:10:11
0:10:11 > 0:10:18attack. That was well cut out by Rab Douglas. Good effort from the
0:10:18 > 0:10:28winner. Barry Smith trying to work out how to make the breakthrough
0:10:28 > 0:10:33but it is Aberdeen! Guess who? Niall McGinn. Once again, his 11th
0:10:33 > 0:10:43goal of the season for Aberdeen. He will not score many easier goals.
0:10:43 > 0:10:54
0:10:54 > 0:11:01leaving Gallagher in his wake. This is a chance for Aberdeen. It was
0:11:01 > 0:11:11Scott Vernon who got on the end of it. A lovely counter-attack from
0:11:11 > 0:11:26
0:11:26 > 0:11:36the and visitors -- from the that. Joe Shaughnessy fancied his
0:11:36 > 0:11:55
0:11:55 > 0:12:05Second goal for Niall McGinn. A second for Aberdeen. Lovely flick
0:12:05 > 0:12:09
0:12:09 > 0:12:17from the striker. He puts his side Dundee have a lifeline eight
0:12:17 > 0:12:27minutes from time. Jamie Langfield could not keep it out and the
0:12:27 > 0:12:27
0:12:27 > 0:12:37substitute, Mark Stewart, gets on the scoresheet. All to play for now.
0:12:37 > 0:12:46
0:12:46 > 0:12:53Niall McGinn bundles in a hat- trick! That is the victory secured.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Dreadful defending by Dundee. Rab Douglas's goalkeeping, it was a
0:12:57 > 0:13:06good save in fairness but he did not cover himself in glory there.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Niall McGinn taking full advantage. He secured victory for Aberdeen.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14When you look at where Aberdeen are halfway through the season, it
0:13:14 > 0:13:18seems pretty decent, but I sense you are disappointed with results
0:13:18 > 0:13:23you are disappointed with results overall? We know the results we had
0:13:23 > 0:13:29at home could have been a lot more or points, but given the injury
0:13:29 > 0:13:33list, the last couple months, we have fallen away a pet. We lost our
0:13:33 > 0:13:38midfielders and we have had boys like Scott Vernon filling in at
0:13:38 > 0:13:43midfield, if you take the midfield out of any team in the SPL you miss
0:13:43 > 0:13:48it. The people that have come and have done well, and Saturday was a
0:13:48 > 0:13:53great result away to Dundee after the game against Motherwell, when
0:13:53 > 0:14:03we were disappointed. To go there and score goals, all this we were
0:14:03 > 0:14:04
0:14:04 > 0:14:08disappointed to lose one but it was The sad part was the broken leg for
0:14:08 > 0:14:13Considine. It was horrible. Everyone in the ground heard the
0:14:13 > 0:14:18noise. We were all praying it was his shin pad that snapped. But
0:14:18 > 0:14:24we're hearing that it was his tib ya and he will be in plaster for 12
0:14:24 > 0:14:28weeks ch I think he was getting an operation today to get pins in it.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32But he's at a great club and his team mates will rally around him
0:14:32 > 0:14:35and the club will rally around him and hopefully he comes back
0:14:35 > 0:14:40stronger. Last year, he was the Player of the Year and he started
0:14:40 > 0:14:45to do the same this season. good news for Aberdeen was another
0:14:45 > 0:14:50starring role from Niall McGinn. Barry, when you were at Celtic, he
0:14:50 > 0:14:57was on the fringes of the team and he played in a wide position.
0:14:57 > 0:15:03Through middle, he can't stop scoring. When I was at Celtic, Tony
0:15:03 > 0:15:08Mowbray liked him and played him a Mowbray liked him and played him a
0:15:08 > 0:15:12bit wide. I looked at him and thought he was a wide player, but
0:15:12 > 0:15:17maybe Craig Brown has seen something in him. But he is flying
0:15:17 > 0:15:22and things are falling for him. He needs to keep on scoring and if he
0:15:22 > 0:15:26keeps on he could ends up the top scorer in the division. He looks
0:15:26 > 0:15:32confident and he is fit and agile and quick. You see there is the
0:15:32 > 0:15:38confidence, relaxed finishing. That is what top strikers have got and
0:15:38 > 0:15:43he could do well. At this rate he could be heading for 25 goals.
0:15:43 > 0:15:50and that would be great for a team like ourselfs to a striker getting
0:15:50 > 0:15:5625 goals a season. He has taken his chances and get - o' getting into
0:15:56 > 0:15:59positions, where he was a winger, but he looks like an out and out
0:15:59 > 0:16:04striker. He is always there when the ball is getting knocked down to
0:16:04 > 0:16:12put it in the goal. He has done well for us for the first half of
0:16:12 > 0:16:17the season. Hopefully we /- he can carry on. Duncan shearer or Billy
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Dodds is the last one. It is great for Aberdeen. So they have a real
0:16:22 > 0:16:27chance of climbing the table. hard to believe it was 18 month ago
0:16:27 > 0:16:32that you suffered that brain seizure and a really worrying
0:16:32 > 0:16:37moment. What has it done to your football. Does it change your
0:16:37 > 0:16:42perspective? Yes, it's made me have a different outlook. I'm thoroughly
0:16:42 > 0:16:48enjoying it. I don't let things beat me up as much and try not get
0:16:48 > 0:16:52down if we get beat or I have made a mistake, as you do. But I'm
0:16:52 > 0:16:57enjoying myself at Aberdeen and I'm at a great club that look after me
0:16:57 > 0:17:02and has looked after me through my illness. I'm just enjoying it and
0:17:02 > 0:17:06I'm glad to be back playing. A word about Dundee, your former team,
0:17:06 > 0:17:15they still have a place in your heart, are they doomed? No, I
0:17:15 > 0:17:19wouldn't say so. I know parry Smith well. -- Barry Smith. There were in
0:17:19 > 0:17:25a predarious position at the start of season, coming into the league
0:17:25 > 0:17:29with two weeks' notice. And it was haar for them. They're not in the
0:17:30 > 0:17:34best position now, but you never know what can happen. It is such a
0:17:34 > 0:17:39congested league and you could go on a run and pick up points as
0:17:39 > 0:17:44easily as any other team. They hopefully for the like of Barry
0:17:44 > 0:17:49Smith they can do that. It could be European football for Inverness if
0:17:49 > 0:17:59nay maintain momentum. They ended the year in Perth against St
0:17:59 > 0:18:06
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Johnstone at the match was Paul the Billy MacKay. Flashes the ball
0:18:10 > 0:18:18wide. Inside two minutes, Inverness, who have scored in every game this
0:18:18 > 0:18:20season, create their first chance. Fraser Wright seemed to commit.
0:18:20 > 0:18:30MacKay hurtled over him, steadied himself on to the favoured right
0:18:30 > 0:18:42
0:18:42 > 0:18:47with the save. Again Caley Thistle through MacKay caused problems down
0:18:47 > 0:18:57this left hand side. Shinnie got away from Craig, but the advancing
0:18:57 > 0:19:04
0:19:04 > 0:19:10keeper proved too much for him. Reguero fists this away. Good call
0:19:10 > 0:19:13from the keeper. Craig with the corner, Tade is up. He couldn't
0:19:13 > 0:19:20connect with the ball. Four goals this season, Tade, and this is a
0:19:20 > 0:19:28chance that has passed him by. Got up well, but missed it. McCracken -
0:19:28 > 0:19:31off the line from Tudur-Jones. Craig falls down, that could be a
0:19:31 > 0:19:38yellow card for simulation. David Raven certainly was far from happy.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43Well the header off the line came from Tudur-Jones. McCracken away.
0:19:43 > 0:19:53He took up a good position at the edge of the box. He came to meet
0:19:53 > 0:19:58him and the dive was clear. Doran with the chance for the opener.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Mannus was strong and clipped away. Good play from Paddy Craig. Caley
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Thistle again finding joy on the left. Shinnie, lovely touch from
0:20:07 > 0:20:17MacKay, into the path of Doran, just one goal this term. Almost two,
0:20:17 > 0:20:44
0:20:44 > 0:20:50Davidson clipped it in. Tade, lovely shimmy, moved away from
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Warren, got away from Shinnie, Reguero did his job. It is a great
0:20:52 > 0:21:02block from Warren and slightly acrobatic by Warren and 9.8 for
0:21:02 > 0:21:36
0:21:36 > 0:21:42technical merit as Craig swung it Mannus out again. Good play from
0:21:42 > 0:21:49the keeper. So shock, horror, Inverness fail to score. Some of
0:21:49 > 0:21:52the credit goes to Alan Mannus. How good is he? Yes, this season he has
0:21:52 > 0:21:57been brilliant. As you see yesterday, he has had a couple of
0:21:57 > 0:22:05great saves again. And I remember watching him last week against us
0:22:05 > 0:22:09and the game he had, he played against Niall McGinn by himself at
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Pittodrie. Some of his saves were brilliant. He stopped it from being
0:22:13 > 0:22:18a rout. He has done well and the standard of goalkeeping in the SPL
0:22:18 > 0:22:22has been good and he has been one of them. I don't think he arrived
0:22:22 > 0:22:30with a big reputation, but he is doing just that. What a save that
0:22:30 > 0:22:35was with a deflection off the wall. Doran was in a paper making a noise
0:22:35 > 0:22:39about a penalty claim. Barry, what do you reckon? When he sees this
0:22:39 > 0:22:44back, I don't think there is much in that. I don't see where he is
0:22:44 > 0:22:48coming from. Craig has put his arm out, but for me it has never ban
0:22:48 > 0:22:52personality. I have been known to go down easily in the box myself, I
0:22:52 > 0:22:57don't think he will claim that. I think he has got that wrong. That
0:22:57 > 0:23:01is not a personality. He is maybe thinking that because Craig put his
0:23:01 > 0:23:06arm across. But he is never getting that. You were an Inverness player,
0:23:06 > 0:23:12what have you made of their performance this season, second in
0:23:12 > 0:23:18the SPL, top goal scorers, maybe heading for Europe? Hen you see
0:23:18 > 0:23:23what Terry Butcher has den, he broke up that team and because they
0:23:23 > 0:23:27were getting older and produced this young team from nowhere. It is
0:23:27 > 0:23:32people that one has heard of. To get players up to Inverness where
0:23:32 > 0:23:36that is not that much money and you're way up in the north, it is
0:23:36 > 0:23:41an unbelievable job. And to get players that score goals, that is
0:23:41 > 0:23:45the hardst thing to do. It must be great for the fans. Sometimes if
0:23:45 > 0:23:50you're going to be free-flowing the back door is not always shut. But
0:23:50 > 0:23:56the fans will love the entertain. You have to give credit to Terry.
0:23:56 > 0:24:02He has done a terrific job. Have they surprised you? Yes, they score
0:24:02 > 0:24:07goals for fun. McKay's flying. He is scoring, I think he has got 12
0:24:07 > 0:24:12in seven games. He is flying. didn't score yesterday though.
0:24:12 > 0:24:19it is 12 in eight. But he is flying. Obviously, they're creating goals
0:24:19 > 0:24:27all over the pitch. One of the most important players is Ritchie Foran.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32He gives everything for them. They surprised me a lot this year. But
0:24:32 > 0:24:36what Terry Butcher produces doesn't surprise me. That has killed the
0:24:36 > 0:24:42theiry that goalkeepers can't count. Kilmarnock want consistency. Two
0:24:42 > 0:24:52wins and a draw was as good as it God for them. Could they keep it
0:24:52 > 0:24:58
0:24:58 > 0:25:00this match and a minute's applause as a mark of respect on the fifth
0:25:01 > 0:25:03anniversary of the death of the Motherwell captain, Phil O'Donnell.
0:25:03 > 0:25:13Humphrey cutting it back for Higdon and Cammy Bell well positioned
0:25:13 > 0:25:28
0:25:28 > 0:25:32there. That almost topped off the blistering strike that was from the
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Spanish striker. And Kilmarnock in front. The break of the ball coming
0:25:36 > 0:25:46off Hutchison. Perez with the finish which will please his
0:25:46 > 0:25:53
0:25:53 > 0:25:59Jamie Murphy with the follow up after Higdon's effort had been
0:25:59 > 0:26:09blocked. Murphy with plenty of scouts in the stands keeping an eye
0:26:09 > 0:26:10
0:26:10 > 0:26:13on him. So much speculation over his future. Motherwell starting
0:26:13 > 0:26:19this match in third position. Kilmarnock, well they are in sixth.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Heffernan! And blocked by Randolf and away by Hutchison. Heffernan so
0:26:22 > 0:26:31close to putting Killie 2-0 in front, but excellent defending by
0:26:32 > 0:26:32
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Hutchinson. That will please Stuart McCall. Hately's corner. A good
0:26:36 > 0:26:45ball from Murphy. It was cleared by Perez this time. The striker
0:26:46 > 0:27:06
0:27:06 > 0:27:16turning that away. Sheridan had the opportunity there when he was clean
0:27:16 > 0:27:22
0:27:22 > 0:27:26through to add to Killie's tally. A good stop by Randolph, but Paul
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Heffernan is there ready to pounce. It was well won at the front post,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Randolf did well to get a touch on it. But Heffernan playing the
0:27:32 > 0:27:41poacher's roles it 2-0 to Kilmarnock just beyond the hour
0:27:42 > 0:27:58
0:27:58 > 0:28:02back in the game. Jamie Murphy. McHugh with the initial shot and
0:28:02 > 0:28:12Murphy only a yard out turning it home for his 11th goal of the
0:28:12 > 0:28:23
0:28:23 > 0:28:25season. It's his fifth in his last terrific coal as well from the
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Estonian international. The Kilmarnock keeper hadn't an earthly
0:28:28 > 0:28:38with that one. Terrific curling effort. Assisted by the left
0:28:38 > 0:28:45
0:28:45 > 0:28:55upright. And Motherwell back level at 2-2. Motherwell keen for the
0:28:55 > 0:29:05
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Nelson. Appeals it came off his arm. Nelson. Appeals it came off his arm.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12The referee says corner kick. The highlight of the game was that
0:29:12 > 0:29:18tribute five years on, from the death of Phil O'Donnell. It mu
0:29:18 > 0:29:22bring it pack for you, you were on the pitch the day he died. Yes,
0:29:22 > 0:29:29it's terrible and it's great everyone remembers him and he was a
0:29:29 > 0:29:33terrific player. He did great at Celtic. And he would probably have
0:29:33 > 0:29:39been in management in Scotland, or coaching, he was very well thought
0:29:39 > 0:29:42of in this country and he is a big miss. It is a shame for his family
0:29:42 > 0:29:47and everyone in Scottish football. It is a sad loss when you get
0:29:47 > 0:29:57players that have done so well and they're not with us any more. It is
0:29:57 > 0:29:59
0:29:59 > 0:30:04Two great goals in the game. There has been some great football in the
0:30:04 > 0:30:08SPL, and this was a great finish. Yes, it is a great finish. The
0:30:08 > 0:30:16goalkeeper was not stopping that. He came in and settled into the way
0:30:16 > 0:30:23Kilmarnock play. He looks like a great signing for Kenny Shiels.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28This is the young Estonian, this is some goal. It he beat two players
0:30:28 > 0:30:34then takes it in, put it in the far post. What a finish that is. He
0:30:34 > 0:30:39looks a real talent. Managers are doing a great job are unearthing
0:30:39 > 0:30:43talent, then every transfer window it is then going. It would be great
0:30:43 > 0:30:49to build the game up. But it looks like they might lose these players,
0:30:49 > 0:30:54Jamie Murphy as well. What a terrific finish it was. You could
0:30:54 > 0:30:59watch it all day. This was Jamie Murphy scoring what might be his
0:30:59 > 0:31:05last goal for Motherwell. It suggests that he will be away. This
0:31:05 > 0:31:15was a tap-in for him. Scored a lot of goals recently. Interesting to
0:31:15 > 0:31:15
0:31:15 > 0:31:22examine the body language after the match. Does this suggest he is off?
0:31:22 > 0:31:27Possibly he is just saying goodbye to 2012. I'm not so sure. The the
0:31:27 > 0:31:33Motherwell fans will be gutted because he is doing well. There has
0:31:33 > 0:31:41been lots of speculation for him. He will be delighted if he's got a
0:31:41 > 0:31:45move lined up, and if not, he will be delighted to stay. There was a
0:31:45 > 0:31:53penalty claim for Motherwell. They could have won the game if they got
0:31:53 > 0:31:57a penalty here. What did you think? The we've got the opportunity to
0:31:57 > 0:32:07see it again and again but it comes through at some pace and he was
0:32:07 > 0:32:10
0:32:10 > 0:32:15trying to get his hand out of the way. We the ball was on target.
0:32:15 > 0:32:23is hard to get your hand out of the way, but the letter of the law says
0:32:23 > 0:32:27it is a handball. The goalkeeper could have been work. Where does it
0:32:27 > 0:32:37stop? It means people will be jumping about the 18-yard box with
0:32:37 > 0:32:37
0:32:37 > 0:32:41their hands behind their backs. I don't think it's a penalty.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Mirren were third in the League in September and one point off bottom.
0:32:45 > 0:32:55They have rallied and against Dundee United they were looking to
0:32:55 > 0:33:10
0:33:10 > 0:33:17slips, low ball across, the visitors have the lead! Great ball
0:33:17 > 0:33:27from Gary Teale. St Mirren have had trouble scoring in the opening 20
0:33:27 > 0:33:49
0:33:49 > 0:33:59man who scored the winner when these sides met in October gets his
0:33:59 > 0:34:03
0:34:04 > 0:34:13first sight of goal and drags it knocked away. That was a push on
0:34:14 > 0:34:32
0:34:32 > 0:34:37Watson goes to the byline and sense in the cross. The goalkeeper was
0:34:37 > 0:34:47impeded and it will not count. Johnny Russell was in the way. Jon
0:34:47 > 0:34:52
0:34:52 > 0:35:02Daly with the finish. The referee it was a push on Jon Daly and it is
0:35:02 > 0:35:03
0:35:03 > 0:35:06a penalty. Dundee United have the chance to respond. Great ball
0:35:06 > 0:35:16played in by Barry Douglas. The file was obvious and the penalty
0:35:16 > 0:35:41
0:35:41 > 0:35:48for the shot and it has gone! Dundee United have turned the first
0:35:48 > 0:35:58half around. They are ahead with two late goals, but Craig Samson
0:35:58 > 0:36:01
0:36:01 > 0:36:11will think he should have saved Dundee in August. That is a poor
0:36:11 > 0:36:15ball by Keith Watson, chance for Steven Thompson... He takes it!
0:36:15 > 0:36:25Dundee United were the architects of their own downfall, and Steven
0:36:25 > 0:36:36
0:36:36 > 0:36:46Gary Teale knock it down, Mark McAusland! St Mirren are ahead.
0:36:46 > 0:36:58
0:36:58 > 0:37:05Mark McAusland is the scorer. Jon and the referee rushes over. It is
0:37:05 > 0:37:11a red card! Straight red card for Bryan MacLean. Dundee United's
0:37:11 > 0:37:17afternoon is getting worse. It did not look malicious but the referee
0:37:17 > 0:37:27deemed it to be a straight red card. No shortage of incident or
0:37:27 > 0:37:33
0:37:33 > 0:37:37first and it is in! Nobody is more surprised than David van Zanten.
0:37:37 > 0:37:42The ball was left and the goalkeeper could not react in time.
0:37:42 > 0:37:47David van Zanten gets on the scoresheet. Chance for Dundee
0:37:47 > 0:37:51United from the free kick, and Barry Douglas caused! Probably too
0:37:51 > 0:38:01late for Dundee United to find a 4th goal but Barry Douglas will
0:38:01 > 0:38:01
0:38:01 > 0:38:08Another of year-old teams. Are you surprised to see them in the bottom
0:38:09 > 0:38:12half? Yes, but there is a long way to go. They are strong defensively
0:38:12 > 0:38:22and as the season goes on they will score more goals than they concede.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23
0:38:23 > 0:38:26They look like they're struggling a bit at the back. They will always
0:38:26 > 0:38:31score goals so if they tighten up they will be all right. They will
0:38:31 > 0:38:37get up near the top three. assistant manager was raging about
0:38:37 > 0:38:44the defending. Maybe the manager could not trust himself. When you
0:38:44 > 0:38:47look back on the goals you can see where he's coming from. Barry
0:38:47 > 0:38:57Douglas lead but it still came across the six-yard box. That is
0:38:57 > 0:39:02what happens. The defender needs to do better there. This one is
0:39:02 > 0:39:07disappointing. There is four Dundee United players around one St Mirren
0:39:07 > 0:39:16player. This one has gone straight through and it is horrible for a
0:39:16 > 0:39:20goalkeeper. It is that the goalkeeper's union? It is horrible
0:39:20 > 0:39:23because the defender leaves it, and it is a horrible ball to deal with.
0:39:23 > 0:39:31To score three goals at home and lose again, no wonder the manager
0:39:31 > 0:39:37is pulling his hair out. They have lost 20 goals this season, they
0:39:37 > 0:39:43have only won twice. This is changed days. They will be all
0:39:43 > 0:39:46right. They have lots of experience. They are good going forward, and
0:39:46 > 0:39:51Peter Fewston will have them working on it throughout the next
0:39:51 > 0:39:55period. -- Peter Houston. They will come good. St Mirren were much
0:39:55 > 0:40:00better at the back, they have had problems at the back, Lee Mair was
0:40:00 > 0:40:08on the bench and he is a good player. They will Mehdi be looking
0:40:08 > 0:40:13at getting him back. The red card, what do we think? The when we sit
0:40:13 > 0:40:20here, and it is slowed down, it looks unfair, but in real time, it
0:40:20 > 0:40:30is possibly a red card. It is so hard to call. The referee has a
0:40:30 > 0:40:42
0:40:42 > 0:40:46We are struggling in here to tell. I think it was mistimed. He was
0:40:46 > 0:40:51trying to get out of the way, but it is the way the referee sees it
0:40:51 > 0:40:59and he sees that he went in Hyde. We have been sitting here looking
0:40:59 > 0:41:04at it and we cannot make up our mind. Wanly five matches this
0:41:04 > 0:41:09weekend because in Dingwall, Ross County versus Hearts was called off.
0:41:10 > 0:41:18This was the ground staff trying their best, but the referee decided
0:41:18 > 0:41:28less than one hour before kick-off that it could not go ahead. That
0:41:28 > 0:41:32
0:41:32 > 0:41:37inconvenience to a lot of people, There was always a baker who had
0:41:37 > 0:41:46naturally when again is cancelled late on. It is a good touch from
0:41:46 > 0:41:52the owner, but a Hearts fans will get a good night out in Inverness.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57Look on the bright side. It is frustrating but what can you do?
0:41:57 > 0:42:03Sometimes the game can be playable, then the rain flies down, the
0:42:03 > 0:42:11picture becomes unplayable within an hour. The referee needs to make
0:42:11 > 0:42:20a decision. The players do not want to be in danger. It is difficult.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24It is good that the owner did that. We have not had a Vancouver
0:42:24 > 0:42:31Whitecaps player on the programme for rages and suddenly we have two
0:42:31 > 0:42:36in four days. How do you like it? It is different, very different,
0:42:36 > 0:42:43but it has been good. I thought I would try something different. I
0:42:43 > 0:42:48still feel fed and flying and fresh, and I've got a lot of games to play
0:42:48 > 0:42:58over there, Kenny Miller is enjoying it is well and we're
0:42:58 > 0:43:05having a good time. We are enjoying it. The passion and the emotion of
0:43:05 > 0:43:10the game here, you hear the crowds, the opposition is totally different.
0:43:10 > 0:43:17Sometimes you miss that. It is a different experience. It is one
0:43:17 > 0:43:22that I am relishing. The let's look at the Premier League before we go.
0:43:22 > 0:43:27Celtic's lead has been cut but they are still six points ahead.
0:43:27 > 0:43:35are still six points ahead. Inverness and Motherwell are second.
0:43:35 > 0:43:45Hearts are in 9th. St Mirren have moved away from the bottom. The
0:43:45 > 0:43:57
