:04:43. > :04:49.there was no one in the pub, thankfully, and they quickly
:04:49. > :04:54.extinguished the fire. But there was severe damage. New management

:15:43. > :15:48.growing up. It was always at Christmas time. It will be nice to
:15:48. > :15:53.win, a huge honour, the list of names on that trophy. Will it be
:15:53. > :15:57.pretty special to put my name among those great British sports stars.
:15:57. > :16:03.Just enjoy the fact I've been nominated and have had such a great
:16:03. > :16:08.year. I'm so proud of you. There were memorable and emotional
:16:08. > :16:13.homecomings for Rory and Dan during the summer. Tonight their family
:16:13. > :16:20.and friends will be supporting in the audience. It is wonderful to be

:16:24. > :16:29.introduce them to people they watch on the TV all the time. It is more
:16:29. > :16:32.important to me they have a good night as opposed to how I do in the

:16:36. > :16:41.Northern Ireland's other major winner isn't sure whether either of

:17:24. > :17:30.to kick back and relax, but not for owl footballers. Derby Day is
:17:30. > :17:35.Boxing Day. The rivalry is getting stronger
:17:35. > :17:43.every year. This fixture has been value for money in recent seasons.
:17:43. > :17:48.Just two-and-a-half miles separate Cliftonville and Crusaders, so just
:17:48. > :17:53.why has this Derby arguably become the most entertaining in Belfast
:17:53. > :17:58.even ahead of Glentoran against Linfield? This is why. 31 goals in
:17:58. > :18:04.the last six meetings, the passion of the Derby is its biggest
:18:04. > :18:10.strength. It helps that Cliftonville and Crusaders have
:18:10. > :18:17.pushed for honours and there's also been the odd glimpse of red mist.
:18:17. > :18:22.Players can see one reason why this Derby is outshining others in the
:18:22. > :18:28.City. Over the years a lot of the years I played for them they always
:18:28. > :18:35.had a core four or five players from east Belfast. Linfield did as
:18:35. > :18:41.well. Cliftonville and Crusaders, a lot of local boys. For a lot of
:18:41. > :18:45.players friendship is put on hold for the 90 minutes. He's a good
:18:45. > :18:50.friend of mine but I don't think we'll be friends on the day.
:18:50. > :18:55.They've been sending each other Christmas cards with a difference.
:18:55. > :19:01.A strike! Gareth can see the funny side of it. Both teams will be hope
:19:01. > :19:07.hoping to put on another unmissable Derby display.
:19:07. > :19:13.Joining me is a man who know as thing or two about Belfast's Derby.
:19:13. > :19:17.Now manager of Coleraine. A Boxing Day, it is special isn't it?
:19:17. > :19:20.massive game. It is one that everybody looks forward to. How did
:19:20. > :19:26.you make the adjustment for Christmas. I imagine Christmas in
:19:26. > :19:29.your house will be different as a manager. Big time. The odd glass of
:19:29. > :19:33.wine compared to as a player you have to look after yourself to make
:19:33. > :19:40.sure you are ready for docksing day. Is it trickysome is there a buzz
:19:40. > :19:47.about the place when trying to select players. Are you thinking
:19:47. > :19:52.about who you are going to pick on Boxing Day? The old cliches that go
:19:52. > :19:58.out the window. You have to pick a team on the day you know will fight
:19:58. > :20:01.for everything to get a good result. It is going to be a big one. It's
:20:01. > :20:06.been massive. Ballymena probably with a change of manager has
:20:06. > :20:11.brought about a wee bit of form. For that, from that point of view
:20:11. > :20:18.it is a tough game. A clash of this size, everybody just wants to win
:20:18. > :20:22.it. I know our teacher. We are going to hear a bit of singing from
:20:22. > :20:28.the choir. Have you been involved in that. We just work with the
:20:28. > :20:33.sport. I stay well clear of that side of it. We'll come back in a
:20:33. > :20:36.couple of minutes and Oran and I will go through our scales. This
:20:37. > :20:41.time last year the ground was covered in snow and it was bitterly
:20:41. > :20:46.cold. As we approach the Christmas weekend, it is a completely
:20:46. > :20:47.different story this year. I think, would you not agree, it is pretty
:20:47. > :20:53.would you not agree, it is pretty good.
:20:53. > :20:55.mild as we head into the Christmas weekend. But that's after a
:20:56. > :21:02.temporary drop in temperatures as we head into tomorrow. Nothing like
:21:02. > :21:09.we had last year. Just a reminder of the widespread ice and snow in
:21:09. > :21:15.the run-up to Christmas last year. On this day last year we had seem
:21:15. > :21:20.temperatures dip to mine 17.5. This morning they were plus 10, a
:21:20. > :21:24.difference of almost 28 degrees. We saw a record-breaking low of
:21:24. > :21:29.minus 19 Celsius. It is going to turn chillier tonight. Not as cold
:21:29. > :21:35.as that, thankfully. It is mild, cloudy and breezey. Then we get a
:21:35. > :21:39.batch of rain. As that rain edges in, the breeze eases down. Some of
:21:39. > :21:43.the rain persistent and heavy for a time. It starts to move away from
:21:44. > :21:47.the west. Maybe dipping to 3 degrees in parts of the west. We
:21:47. > :21:53.might get the odd icy patch. Tomorrow, a colder day that. Cold
:21:53. > :21:58.air digs in for a time. That's going to bring a mixture of bright
:21:59. > :22:02.spells and showers. Some of those could be wintry. Perhaps not first
:22:02. > :22:06.thing. Will it be dry from a time behind that batch of rain. It
:22:06. > :22:11.should be bright, but colder than we've been used to over the last
:22:11. > :22:16.couple of mornings s. As the gusty wind picks up in the afternoon,
:22:16. > :22:23.colder air comes through, so we start to see hours turning to hail
:22:23. > :22:26.at times. Perhaps not so many in the south and east. Much colder
:22:26. > :22:32.than 12s we have seen today. Tomorrow night, a cold one.
:22:32. > :22:36.Temperatures will be dropping away. Eventually getting down to 2 or 3
:22:36. > :22:42.degrees. Frost and icy patches as we start Christmas Eve. That's
:22:42. > :22:47.going to change. The cloud comes in to bring spells of rain. 8-9
:22:47. > :22:51.degrees. Then for Christmas Day and Boxing Day, 12-13 Celsius. Strong
:22:51. > :22:55.Boxing Day, 12-13 Celsius. Strong winds and often wet as well. Back
:22:55. > :23:05.now to Bali castle, I Sarah and Gavin are there with a fantastic
:23:05. > :23:11.
:23:11. > :23:16.We promised earlier that Gavin might put on his special Christmas
:23:17. > :23:25.jumper and he didn't disappoint! have a surprise for you. Because I
:23:25. > :23:32.have to wear this jumper... Mistletoe! Merry Christmas. Merry
:23:32. > :23:39.Christmas. Shall we have a bit of music? That so lately. Behind as
:23:39. > :23:49.you can hear that joint choirs of pupils from two schools and they
:23:49. > :23:51.
:23:51. > :23:59.were suing one of the best loved -- # Oh holy night!
:23:59. > :24:06.# The stars are brightly shining # It is the night of the dear
