There was a Obviously the situation with Walter Smith I know finally it s Alex McLeish after a long long steps of the sci fi once that you know Alex McLeish is locked in the back and everyone wishes of well the s. And p. Will have some questions to answer about the process there s absolutely no doubt Roger Roger won when they started winning games they started winning games well you know let s let s hope they do let s not do that but if and when they do then all the troubles of s.f. It will be in the horizon because that s what a they don t then of course all of them questions will be Sarah Kliff need to be asked I spoke to someone just a few moments ago who said look one of the reasons that was Alex McLeish is his presence when he walks into a room he walks into a dressing room he has clearances and so many people have said remember speaking to people who recently and talking about how important is that a national set up for a manager to walk into a dressing room and how instant respect and Alex McLeish obviously they saw that was one of the reasons they decided to go and I agree with that and we spoke about it last night on sports and and and it really was one of the criteria are you going to rate doing 5 or 6 great Warner s that you have a standing in the game and you walk into dressing room of course the other thing is international experience and a lot of money just don t have any step into that job but if you have it as a real bonus and he has it he knows how to how to work with a team over a shorter period have a break and then bring them back again and he s been he s proved successful doing not over the period right we re joined in the line by the former scholarship a chief executive Gordon Smith who worked with Alex McLeish juniors his previous table in charge as Discover say the surprise to you in the end that it s learned that out with Alex once more Gordon Well all. Because of that there was talk with the part that was. Going to be even put me on the board. Was going to grow and some people. Agreed on by. All of a sudden. There has been and I m not surprised that the state to get in the job because of. The color we should see just like it not amisse decision by the board to appoint. There s clearly been discussion about absolutely that that had been discussions I believe that yeah I believe the board will split the family there were discussions and debates about whether or not to be Alex McLeish but at what point in fairness that this was a unanimous decision by the f.a. Ok we ve all seen it go on and clearly with. A number of you know you were in the inner circle if you re working closely with him so what is it exactly that he will bring to this role the field where he was eventually dedicated fashion of the Thames albeit one still always to space there s one thing about each committee to performance and being a base that can be what I was a player of the minds of any we had and knowledgeably he s got the credentials because he was only you know for a minute as well when that takes a. Big job in Scottish football which specially when you know you re up against a good and to the Rangers job Manu was in charge it is a lot to live up to and he did very well the of the kids by previous mine just specially that you know the kind of accounts that you should spend a lot of money Ali didn t have and you just competing are very good level again so then if you meant the Scotland then as I say if you look back Richard Scudamore of the highest position when they left the job and 20072700 job and got them on the highest position and people rankings of and then. Which of course is very conservative percentage when great feeling of the time was that was a disappointment to say that they want to get back to club stage I guess there s less chance of that given where he is the a.g. Is when he is in his career if he makes a success of this it could be that we re talking about an expansion I suppose for another campaign Yeah thanks to Richard absolutely at the station still and what s been said the success is just qualification for a major tournament that is definitely what anyone would want to achieve and if he does as you say will get a new contract get on you know it s got no excuse. As island that may call in the. Situation we think we keep this mind because also qualification for a major tournament brings in a lot of money as well for this initiation and that s been missing No but I agree somebody you know these these are factors which will determine if we had all egos and what happens and I don t think. The International might see anymore that maybe this is a success do you think the Scottish f.a. Would have given much consideration to a 4 year deal or would you feel it was always likely to be a twofer I look at the state. What they re doing as a free to do that I know technically maybe the judge people by tournament. Remit is to get Scotland qualification and if it s going well and we do well. In a playoff position and maybe it would be that would be the least thing you d expect so I got to play golf and maybe get. Better recognition for that but the main thing is to get into the next tournament rich of the Nothing But you know the you to be jump ships a crucial 2026 contract so cool in 2020 but the thing is measured in what you do if you don t. And that s to them and then obviously his contract will be expanded then once again if things go on the looking. New manager there was much talk in the last couple of weeks about whether they should be looking to appoint a chief executive before the national team manager or vice versa this is the way it has gone would you see any issue at all given that the manager has been appointed 1st No not at all I think that was the most crucial element mind you then because to be clear this doesn t point in the minds of anybody and he comes and he just has to walk along a minute what argument is that your it was an job anyway so some circumstance are going to see him when this happens no to Richard to be. Coming in and what with someone who s already in there so I don t think it s a problem that you don t see recreating the dream team do you go. Oh see how they recommend me. Well that we appreciate your time tonight thanks for that Gordon. Former chief executive of the Sco to share. And he knows just how hard just what Alex McLeish boot and to job loss them and work very closely with and then of course it was a short spell part of the. I guess a section of the Tanami will still feel that part that he walked away from his country was a lot of criticism at the time is that again the sort of thing that just dissipates as long as the results of fight Yeah I think so but this it was 10 years ago he was you know 49 years old. And he had ambitions to go and don t England and and do is that they re in and they re not and you can ask what are you the successful Turner you got to be one of the crop which was a success in his own right for wood burning and so he wanted to be done there and pretty could actually and I think it s also helped him to get standing in the game especially among the players you know we talked about about it of course he was the Rangers manager and always a standing but I think when you go down there you could you can actually and the network of people that he has and the loans and I was as huge a note apparently that that s a big thing that. We go back to the question of who should get in among them among said and I m just going to be a crucial part for me I think he needs he needs to be comfortable with who it whoever that is maybe one or 2 people in the staff around about him and what are that s people from within their staff a disk going to move up like he s got gamma Peter Grant those kind of guys or he brings in somebody you that he can trust and he can work with over the years I mean I m not the relationship of the c.e.o. I think the important it s generally you know I appreciate that I. See the chief executives in terms of his staff or any of that is lame to me not to that it has been left to the national team manager to do it there may be that there wouldn t be as if we had the feeling of one or 2 divisions there who they would want to see more closely involved with about it s McLeish says I want a b. And c. He will get them when they don t know that how I used to speculate that you know it s clear that Alex with McLeish really really wanted this job so how do we know the conditions that being said about Alexander Gleason about how much I want this job I wanted to be successful and if I feel I m giving myself every chance to do that I need to have people around me who are used to working with who I trust and who I believe can help to bring the best out our score that s a good answer but you don t always get what you want especially in football but I would like to see I would like to see someone young come in alongside him for the future as well you know along with his own yeah you know one of his own and one for the future as well because then it gives Gotland something to look to you know in the future whereas at the minute it s like in that I don t want to be disrespected but it s going backwards it feels that way that the only way it doesn t is if we say we because I ve been here that long if we call a fight Likewise you know. But you know listen I am just speaking from my heart because I would really want to go on to do well you know it s you know there is no do I believe no doubt that they would have had that discussion what to do they ll be one of the questions I think it will be anywhere I did if you will what do you think and how do you. Structure does all of those things you have people in mind that you would like to run it may not answer it he may keep his card or drive a little bit or not but I m sure he s thought about it and I m sure that the Scotian has half the impact that it s on and I m sure he would have asked that question with regard to state 7 if you haven t you yeah yeah they ve said that you have a ghost discussions but Alex think you got the job will already know in advance in his mind who he wants to be one which is so it s a sort of thing that should be sorted out pretty quickly and imagine me well and he he I know just some of the weapons that use government Yeah we get on with people lust for sure I ve been around so many times now and he s great humor great fun good man he knows exactly what is he professional and you get on with people and you know I think picking the right person a competent person that can do some of the stuff that he probably maybe wouldn t do but give him give him all of Dot I think just leadership you fill the gaps around the boat you re properly and I think he ll he ll have an idea of what he needs and then he goes out and I m sure he s a some ideas of who we should get to fill those those positions at that point. On and off the board picks up a microphone back in the board again any indication as to where we re likely to be when it comes to the back up to you know and it s as I said earlier on is going to be interesting to see that it looks like he will be unveiled to the media to model so we hope we will obviously know then what the plans of that point at this stage know as I said the way our suggestions previously that were there was talk of Walter Smith coming in to me will be someone at Scott gamble and obvious perhaps successor so we will we will know more or not the more I would suggest right given that it s Alex. I was going to touch on that point I think that s excellent news I mean you re not going to want me to say that yeah you know because you might want to do the job but I think it s excellent for Scottish football that he is continuing to do. The good job that he is doing and hope he can continue and project brave and you know bring Scottish football to the fore and hopefully a bright future of the young players let me tell you there were people not to want to Malcolm a guy who were in favor of bringing Malcolm occur as accountant but he was yeah back in his accountant remember Stuart Reagan bill tomorrow about an hour before he took charge against the Dutch and he was brought back in as a candidate and in a way our people on not board individuals on our board to look. At But of course. Else McLeish Yes Just to recap in a people that there were different names being put forward there s a lot of discussion but in the end you said it was a unanimous decision a unanimous decision Yellow Snow I think there was a lot of soul searching and ripping up all of the process after the Michael Neil debacle and of course a new candidate list was put together remember Walter Smith. Ruled himself out after after suggestions that he was keen once again after that happened Alex McLeish very quickly became the favorite and after discussions on the board debating it no unanimous there is Alex McLeish until 2020 right I think probably we should concede that John Hughes appearance on Sports Center last night what do you think that. Video probably fail or. Maybe you know who did sorry you made notice Roger who did Richard are Alec have when he was had Belgium as his number 2 I m using a colleague me. Regular on sports these days Alec has been working very closely with Alex McLeish so maybe that s a role there because as we mentioned earlier the chief executive role is still to be bailed out has been a lot of talk about every audience Leon dance that she has that they are. All the job as t.v. Executives has been late ever since the departure of Stewart Regan but she says she will not be his replacement she also believes accusations that the scholarship in currently rudderless are more accurate then she said. Organizations tend to just fall over the 10. Cents in the back and so I think it s hard to see that otherwise . I think I would be lying when I was told when I was linked to the post a couple weeks ago or you know in the x. Our colleagues and football had nominated me my name was there and you know it was it was obviously it was nice to be linked with that job but I think it s actually one of the biggest jobs in football. And I would not be telling you the truth if I didn t stop blink think in and think actually what would I do here I did all of those things and then I to give myself it was a reality and I worked out and the life I have been on in the people and the club and they enjoy. Working here and I doing you know I don t I really don t think the other job at this club is finished I mean it may it could happen you could never see never that you know another post of come up or something but what happened I think again even though I know it but I can see play cards categorically that they re one that you mentioned this is not for me not for you don t you re doing yourself yeah and for all that very pragmatic reasons I think I ve just said you know I m really enjoying life of the people that what was a lake really really enjoy the call been as in when a point in the future when I do move on to doing this year in Scotland because. I ve you know I don t think. That it would be something that would have to be something pretty interesting you know and I think that with a point if you will probably be somewhere else I mean I ll probably halfway through my usefulness you don t have any we have been getting our fields in also. You have attained by now probably on the back into my taking spine to be perfectly honest but you know the supporters of tell me I m sure we had better start. We read a half years which is breed in charge of the several previous their course. Talking about my job where I was headed by a barrier to take up the big position at Easter Road making it quite clear that she does not see her future. The rule in the role of chief executive Chris McLaughlin the. Goal. And terms of the manager they have to get their man or woman in terms of the chief executive. A c This can take that up there. I don t think so in all honesty I think she was an obvious name I think with the s.f. We she was favored I think the politics from within were always going to mean or always going to dictate that she would no she wouldn t certainly at this stage be the new chief executive the part that they feel it shouldn t affect speeding but that she was a woman no I don t genuine don t think it was down to the fact she s a woman I think that there were those on the board too didn t think that I don t think that she s ready just yet. In saying that I also believe that that is quite a push for the much well yeah to get it. That is there was a c. And Maxwell been a very long while and I thought that was kind of my point so we ll be interesting to see how that plays so there was a discussion at this board meeting today about the process the Me well as they did with Stewart Regan. To a recruitment agency to find someone perhaps with the ball I think that is a feeling certainly from the board member of the I ve been speaking to that they may well want someone from with that they gave Neil Doncaster the name has been mentioned of the s.p.l. He knows the game. And I ve also been told that basically it was basically the s a b if they bring the body and. If they bring their money and then the clubs are happy yeah it s all about sponsorship if you can heal sponsorship absolutely absolutely if they bring that up and bring the cash and the happy cast that that we feel has been doing the id s.p.f. Mail and that s one of the reasons why his name is being mentioned as a successor to Stewart. This will probably take some time but I think I mean that and there is the obvious sense there because it s it s a huge They demand the job running clubs and obviously the higher up the chain you go the more demanding it becomes I suppose but actually being in charge of an association a body and the way that. It is likely have very likely of course that his name would be high on their list it s also likely that attracts some. Mixed views she oversees for the general public a good choice a good choice of words yet I think it s be able to see that Stewart Regan and Neil Doncaster those names were extinct. And given especially given what happened in 2012 with windows a lot of Celtic fans just Ponza late believe that the league. Be mishandled that whole of fear and I think that yeah I think you re right I think it would be a mixed a mixed response if Neil Doncaster but remember you mentioned that what you said is someone who is in charge of an organization or not really a Super Bowl Yeah but actually not really in charge the clubs in charge at a club called us the other figurehead the other buffers between the clubs and all quite often the media I m defines but not really in charge in dealing with your league and that was one of the main issues I support. Right Ok really interesting to see how that develops and then of course it will be up to the new chief executive to form a relationship or need to bring you a relationship with Alex McLeish to this the recap that you are in with us and on Chris confirming to us early on to Alex McLeish will be the new Scotland manager it will be returning to the force that we have with some success. Decade ago it ll be a 2 year deal which will take him through qualifying and hopefully the final saw you know 2020 and I guess it s up for grabs but they I mean Spence to be confirmed tomorrow it will be Alex McLeish as the new Scotland manager here at Celtic Park for a full life Coventry. You know police road of the day to say you can make time and of course without use of Alex McLeish breaking while would be Dorney or suddenly it would only Porter gets away from kick off a big build up and then you get that massive story which lands on our laps be joined by Pop Warner it s got me going because they ve been giving us thoughts Chris so I will continue to bring us any further information that America has over the course of the season the seeding rather But look out for us I suppose the 1st thing we re looking out for is the is going to have a confirming the the type of tomatoes official I mean it s with the official unveiling of Alex McLeish as the New School of Mines in the midst of that we did get the news probably of just briefly the Celtic team news there you go both line up right in front of you Liam you may as well just run them through for us. Starting with Celtic doltish to fleece continues in goal couple of changes from the cup tie here with the Partick Thistle eventually getting over the light on Saturday it s loose sticks even if it s i.r. And to your knee and back for driving to r.c. We think we ll sit behind forest charm and make it our guard and we sit in belly is the striker not means being handy sink their rocket Edouard s Calvin Miller and Charlie. Will make up the bench as far as Zen it I was talking about Janet before I let McLeish is news broke that about half an hour when I go very very talented side invested plenty money in the summer they are just saying a couple of players actually from Ruben design within the last little while they have given one new man a debut tonight but starting off. Andriy lunette have in goal he s got a couple of caps for Russia they re going to slip right back. He played against Scotland in October and that game has gotten stuck in spite of much in charge the 2 all draw them and Scott that would not make it to the bottle Cup playoffs and they ve got an Argentinian and an Italian It sent a happy man you ll be a man I was a summer signing 3 times capped by Argentina and $22.00 times kept Italian Domenico Clichy to what plebiscite him and then it s another Russian and Igor small they call playing at length but he s a regular in the Russia sides in the plate all 3 matches that utopian championship in 2016 including the one against. Midfield 3 right to left Alexander yetto Keane another Russian international dollar crease Yeah yeah but we in the middle he s got a handful of caps as well and he ll star Manu according to the ports in Russia was attracting the interest of the arbitrated just in the winter window they are the Argentina international Leandro part of the us who will play on the left hand side of that likes to get forward and then the front 311 goals in the Europa League between them a 1000000 or a goalie on the right these are going up with Alexandra Kirk hitting in the middle the core couldn t scored a winner against Celtic here before for Dynamo Moscow in 2009 it was Tony Mowbray s farce competitive game in charge of course a Celtic turned out over in the 2nd leg in Russia and then got a new citing a plague on the left hand side in unknown quantity the lead and torn up a lot need Who s going to start the game for them tonight Branislav Evanovich the Chelsea allegedly splitting up to take a place on the bench so to the very experienced Russia international You might remember them from their run to the Euro 2875 miles a unique easier call of who started that tournament along with the likes of Andre are Shaaban it will been published a chain cool guys they are. Playing it right back presented a slew. And charge tonight. Is the referee and he was in charge when Celtic bypassed top will bear Shiva in the Champions League qualifiers last season be nice to think that was a good omen for Celtic tonight very different challenge indeed against the Russians the big spending the Russians of course coached managed by about them on t.v. Is it charges then that these days when I say that Celtic star they light up but it was a good chance to get the boys thoughts on it because we re in the midst of the Alex McLeish job but scoping gold as predicted the Celtic line up yeah as predicted Look I think what it does do is allows Celtic to be disciplined to keep a shape and hopefully keep in the game if you look at their options on the bends obviously tell me Rohit has made the bench as well which I think everyone was saying that he wasn t going to so they got rich Sinclair. And miss on the on the bench to make things happen if they need to go and get that goal and I think it is really about staying in the game as long as possible and hopefully getting on the front foot but also not conceding because obviously we know it s a 2 legged play off and you know a goal against wood would harm the chances of going through so I think Brant Rodgers got that in mind and want to keep it tight. I mean somebody different option that chance gives you. Midfielder compared to the likes of rockets or the rights of Stuart Armstrong who will fill that role the past yeah. You know I m looking at what the line up here did you know you have to have it done and you have no left on side I m not sure I could be totally wrong because Scott may know better . Than where where what you know how do will mix up the midfield will champion of left hand said process along Brawn or over but he s in the team cos he s he s a young lad. A little bit more experience but still young enough to send for big money. He started off very well coming to the club I thought he dropped off then for a while which is which is never evitable because you know when you come to a new club it takes time to settle and I thought he s come back better now. I think he s got used to the temple is good used to today because fitness level up a little bit also and then alongside Brown as long as it did. Tonight And I say this often want to play at European level if you re playing on the left hand side I would rather them to play the ball left or forward or to support players and play in square pasta crossed the midfield you know teams these teams in European level. To almost play a square pass and you take yourself out of the game you take if you want to. Only pasta square you re going to give it to somebody who can open out and they re free and they can play but don t play square passes under pressure and I think that s the key I think to European football if you ve got the best players and you know in Europe and find you know you look at last night Real Madrid versus p.s.g. It was a wonderful display of magnificent people playing the ball the people who are Barton start forced touched her ability and awareness of the ball how to play and run the corner all that is evident but when you re up against top teams you re not at the level. And that s what I would like to see tonight and if I see it I ll be mentioned in the commentary because I don t want to see it happen it was something that we learned we played international football on the chart. We took it to do an extreme we didn t we didn t do it and we played along the ball but it was very evident Yeah very apparent don t get a top team and get a goal on your international or European level then you re under severe pressure because your confidence grows your confidence goes down you get nervy allowed out of the opportunity and that s what I was his message just that but also eliminating just individual 8 or 7 of it s already been a few of them. For him. But. For all that is someone to switch off this is a night where they re going to have to be fully concentrated for 90 minutes it s not definitely that they want to take the lead going into the 2nd leg and if that s the only one then and now would be perfect for Celtic I just think they just don t want to concede goals and I think that s why we see a team that s been put out to not be a protection for the back 4 as well and look at there s no question I think they will sort of see a little bit more than 20 will be given a little bit more freedom to get forward and help out from an attacking point of view but as we ve touched on before it s a massive night but then looking for a massive performance out of him this is this is the type of game that he said performs in the big nights and so he will be looking for that again and if he is to reach a potential that everyone is has been saying over the 18 months. That you know the potential type of money that you know they are talking about and these are the types of nights he has to produce what have you had I should like to see him recently know I know you play or something I think is going back a little bit and the way that. You mean to has his form or not your No I don t think he s really hard on and I you know I think it has really struggled sort of you know watch us on the weekend when he played long term us on a didn t have a relationship with him at all you know it was run into the body didn t he didn t wasn t and I think you ve got to have the midfielders and how blinking really really well what the ball the ball his movement and he did he comes in the ball but he s big and strong in the score goals but he needs to get his confidence up he s a goal tonight and when I say let you know you saw the one goal can change everything and certainly on a platform like this tonight I think these are the games he wants to go and show people because he does want it s obvious he wants to go in and show his talent at a high level but he has to go and do it tonight and hopefully head clear now will the nonsense of January and got out the way you still he has to produce and look at the moment return for this season isn t good enough so he s going to have to have a classic. You know just as you said injured for a while and and not you know that has really affected him I think you know and he s getting this probably as much for them as will be one of the things you know may take a big near like him but strong clearly getting a little bit longer to get the level that he was not lost last year but he certainly has to your ideas but he has to show a willingness also to run and behind the times play off the shoulder people and I think you just need to think a little bit more about his game I don t know your to strike or your experience when you don t know how. To play up there but watching him I think he needs to mix up his game I just think Venus I think you have the bit between his teeth and I think again because of the platform it s on and all the talk about him he knows he has a look he s not stupid he knows he has to produce better and to know is annoying to go and show people that it s on a world stage and there s no question he wants to go on better intel you know it looks that way anyway from the outside that he was a bit unsettled you know in that general transfer window and he is looking elsewhere but he s got to get his head back down and get back to work and stop producing you know the focus is to sell to I mean I guess what they ideally what they d love is almost like you put in against Manchester City last season to beat the door which actually if you think back over the last couple of seasons of good games but someone gave them the last every other group much against you know position but they ve lost them that night he was absolutely on fire wasn t Yeah absolutely and you know if you want to really good European performance and your peers performance that we ve going to grow big big nights and you want to against a top team somewhere along the line or but for President Rogers point of view also you know that he can go out and say Well listen we ve achieved out here Celtic with a club we bring it back to simpler program next week and we get we get a result because in the trend that would be a big big statement. But you go tonight and they don t perform you know and Ok if they re knocked out and to perform then you get away with it but if you don t perform tonight then. People will say listen what are we doing here what you know this is your league level it s not it s not the Champions League level although you re up against a team that Brendan has rightly said that is Champions League level but you still have to get a performance and that s the critical thing tonight over the next Indeed over the next 2 games. Poli poetry is coming out with us here on sports and a member kicks off a by pass the so a little over half an hour until the action gets up and running it is libel to see what sports say on b.b.c. Radio Scotland if you want with us and we count on the news that Alex McLeish will be confirmed as the new Scotland manager. Will be a news company just waiting from word from the Scottish M.P. s the when exactly that is going to be but he will be the new manager you ll be retired to the post and it will be a 2 year deal or at the money was in charge I d take it a go all the national t.v. For the chat with Pop Warner and Scott McDonald come live MacLeod it s going to be describing all the action here from 5 past 8 just hearing that there will be it will be just before lunch time yeah Leventhal to. The email I scrawled the Scotia fee the communications department the c.v. Media representative. A representative to how the media said this about 1134 Scottish national team announcements I wonder what I ve spent could be they said it was statement it will be to point out McLeish but yeah we ll get the statement 1130 tomorrow then the videos and if you use those going along tea coffee and sandwiches will be served 1115 that s nice it s good it s going to be looked after I m cross I call him permission. I don t think over prawns I was just trying to sandwiches don t think it will be right the confirmation to come with the motto on . Get to the 2nd part of us the interview that s old English sat there and I did it last week with the Celtic seat executive played out a large chunk of it at the weekend there then he was talking about the game Janet Libert Scottish football about the Scottish f.a. . In the 2nd part of the interview it all began by asking I think a lot about Celtic s place and European football. Again. You imagine you d want to be playing Champions League game but it s the Europa League game where he thinks the place is in European competition because it seems to be the Champions League with all the body that the because it s getting harder and harder because that s out yet not except we define ourselves as a Champions League club and everything we do and that s the standards of our we use that we run the club the organization and I think when you go in You d up we are regarded as such a top class European football team. History of tradition 2nd to none and that s realised and accepted. But in the modern day when you go into the Champions League you are open to a draw like p.s.g. Barcelona mind city and these are very very difficult games to take part and in the basis that we are financially a big disadvantage to to to these big big clubs as they are in the s.p.l. Fail when we please spare failed teams so that has to be taken as also that we have the major advantage financially against other clubs Ripley But if you re Celtic and you want to maximise a potential a club or optimize our future then we are at a disadvantage financially. And one has to be recognized so the reality is that in terms of what we want to do we want to continue to dominate in Scotland we want to be regularly in the Champions League group stage and hopefully push yourself at one point to go and I don t think we have been blessed with the best draws over the last couple of years anyway so that still remains a objectives the Europa League and getting thawed tonight group I think was a success I think it s a great achievement we don t have a big game here tonight that will keep us in the. European football which is very important to push Christmas and who knows hopefully we can get an extended run here looking forward then the challenge is greater I think we ve got between the big clubs and clubs like a sales i.x. And the elect. It s getting greater I think there s a realisation in Europe that that s the case and I believe that there are people with a new Africa who understand and would like that guy and club like Celtic i.x. Underlayer to continue with life so looking forward I think the good news is that the Champions League I don t think will change in structure for the next 6 years the Sakal in the next one the that s looking to be the case the good news is the champions are remains in place and a low slightly more difficult than the last a go it s still the end it gives us an opportunity to get through to the group stage the Europa League going forward the Seiko for $1821.00 has been agreed but I think as an opportunity from we re $21.00 to $24.00 to look at access participation and look at wading the the participation of clubs which would be good for Scotland in Europe so there s a lot of discussion going on in terms of format for you know police from $24.00 on once then it s a fresh clean sheet of paper we have planning to be part of the but at that point I could see significant change in the structures of European football 1st for 242024 and it seems a long way away but that you know as a 6 years away but I think there s a lot of what that will be done look at situation given to what is European football it way into it when if will because cap is waiting as a global business no and I say that p.s.g. The present p.s.g. Who I knew very well he is the president p.s.g. . Is also the president of b.n. Sports and he s on the board of medal marks the movie production company in Hollywood the get out in front of a sheet and here his name are and his name out is 80000000 social media for us and he describes what they are doing is a movie not letter only but it s a movie and they are an entertainment company that s going to take these products around the world and he s got the broadcaster he s got the creativity from the production company and he s got the content through his club and Lima So these are substantial changes that are going to happen and who global clubs view you football and we want to be part of good for the 1st look like what you think he is again I there s nothing that we can be specific about but I think his plan is to create an a global entertainment company based in current in a fit both part and the mouse part of that and that. Is just a slice then pick it up of things can move who we can go and who have to be changes and the hyper inflation wages the hyper fees and transfer fees is beginning to. You know make it would a more difficult for us but as a sale of the club Blake Celtic with everything that we have. A bow as we would hope to be part of that and indeed Scottish football because we re too insular in my view growth and Scottish football for me will come from looking at wealth Scotland and getting more participation of all clubs. The new pope and that again is important to so that we ve got a c. On and for us and structures and access and participation and I think for the public Aberdeen heads and hearts it s very possible that they could be regular participants in the Europa League or its equivalent in 6 years taking and that s who we should be looking we should we get assailed ready and fat to bring you money into the game by you to people disappear 2024 See if possible significant change you openly or those close those close get into their personal lives track record as we ll hear you know how are you going to raise that and get into the Europa League game yes I m worried well through hopefully changes structural that as a thought that we should be expanding the you know police will clubs that utopian food bowl takes a bigger chunk of the calendar and you have to mess it becomes smaller So these are there s nothing specific term but these are just ideas that we generated at the moment that I think and we re not alone in scope and clearly with a hole in Belgium Denmark Sweden. Other nations that have had success in the past that have them that have gone because of the reality of the financials in Europe so. That s what we should we should have more focus on that as a nation what s happening with school and what s happened in the unit and help transform the Scottish game the positive side and score that moment also as is the investment hearts of made in the Stanford task Aberdeen in terms of the new stadium and speaking to the boys last weekend they re looking to invest the new facilities that come on up training gluten and pitch so these are positives for Faustina long tail and we ve invested for the 1st time in a long tame it s got its clubs investing in the game and that has got to be positive and for me together you know we ve got to look at our bring in new money it s got as we 5 a half 1000000 people we re going to transform hopefully we ll get more into media race wouldn t sponsorship. Which is the challenge for this p.f. Arrow but I think that s one way to transform for Scottish football the transformer meet come through greater participation in Europe and giving easier and more access to Scottish clubs so if this is with 30 carrying her tears Rangers wherever else. Bush knows best or they re the season they were to get Iraq really gruesome but clearly it on. Its 1st official Yeah I think for me if Including get one including sponsorship the central pool I think it between 8 and 10000000 euros for the club Aberdeen including the gates and whatever and that compared to what they re getting from the central purpose transformational that must be for any club and that is where we have benefit you ve seen a early in the week. A big part of us participation in Europe and that s because we ve got through those qualifiers very very very very difficult to get through but we ve got through in the level of will get the benefits of that so as other clubs you know go again mentioned again utopian football has provided 840-0000 ponies for each of the s.p.l. Clubs and that again for the majority of clubs are significant so again it s you know it s a new money commitment it s increasing the g.d.p. Of Scottish football but bring in a new Money and exports go to football and bring in new money and if the other clubs are getting 10000000 euros for your over there might be a better position to later fire collect the competition as you know that that will help the competitive balance and that s the way I think we should be addressing competitive balance is positively rather than negatively looking at you know negative and. Start to use or you know the way to do is to improve over one rather than. You know. To talk window to get to get the others out rather than bring in his bike and that to me is is part of the solution you have to have war games in Europe urban It looks. So at the moment we don t know how it works its principles and I think the principle makes sense that we should be looking as a nation to export more into European competition that s where the money is that s where the interest is that s where the money is and that s where the competition us . And I think it makes sense who is going to look nobody noise but I think that a significant willingness to look at her and take it forward which would help nations late Scotland and Holland and Belgium and the us the big boys in Europe at least the model boy p.s.u. Delivery. System they are. It Ok here a Scottish football is a threat for Celtic to be locked down say the Jersey Shore return to Scotland to the doctor. But not as you know that. You need money for games you need competition so that that threat is there but also as I said earlier there is a recognition that clubs late Celtic and I x. And the others have an important part to play in European football the study last week 2 or 3 weeks ago showed that we were the 8th. Highest attendance and you don t . It s remarkable Rangers were 11th 13th that s 2 clubs from the one city and you the p. Contex playing in the s.p.l. Feel it s remarkable So the fundamentals of Celtic and other Scottish clubs are very strong and again if you look at Aberdeen from Aberdeen Hearts and Hibs from Edinburgh affluent cities for task today show football clubs with big support and if you compare Aberdeen Hearts and Hibs to see a sworn to account of who ve recently played the Premier League more affluent cities and in my view great of clubs. So there was an opportunity for me and we need an opportunity to exploit the strong fundamentals of Scottish clubs and all those others can join us there Brendan Rodgers getting started charity did 2 rows of Shiva game there are in no way how difficult was it for the club. With the city s shellacking up and against that is the real piece of how difficult is that into the whole Celtic it off of course of difficult Nates But if it s part of it it s not part of the plan but if we if we want to develop as a football club known again you re going to have to take but you know obey inch mark I think this year was under left. And terms of a bigger budget much bigger budget has been tender status was on the left and we did really well over there and we lost here but we thought police took us through so these big defeats are not easy to take but it s part of the again this particular says Brandon came I think he d view as part of the development of players and part of the development of the club and hopefully going forward will be the paying for that development but again the point immediately but the elite clubs think that and it doesn t do. You know great justice to Celtic when they have these results and with every look for meaningful competitive games but I m sure we ll get. There again club with a very salty but. These 2 games but whatever given all them of every chance to get through as you say the the budget we will be on diverse and top manager some top players that week s team will soon be difficult but you know we we will and I m sure Brendan The boys are going to the game but we re Heidegger confidence is the return leg any concerted Russian security is their other work and don t know yet we ll find a. And at the moment there is we ll have a certain process in place for supporters in the team and at the moment we have no real issue of concern you. Just tell us. About camp again we keep saying that we want to move every transfer window stronger the mood going and I think this year in particular John you know we have achieved our you know again the most important thing is I think Brendan has is has been satisfied with what the business has been done and we ve brought in 2 young Scottish talents so it s youth and school. Fish brought an experience and brought in a wee bit of magic we think in creativity through Charlie was so and so that takes a lot of boxes and thankfully we ve been able to hang going to a big players so we ve got a strong squad. The become petition for places and most difficult stronger now than we were in December and we understand that we re developing other clubs players but we d probably wait have an option you know to take them on and Patrick s case and Charlie we haven t but I think we re satisfied that for that but of real quality that cost an awful lot of money that we can bring them here to Celtic Park to improve the team and excite the support of ski s these 2 guys Patrick and Charlie could be deceived silty players I think were happy to do that with the going overboard. And part of the deal is to develop them again through Brendan and if we give mindset in Chelsea by much better players again as to reputation and eyes to what we can do in the future how does rather it s a fear that he might be forced with you ve always got that you know D Amato who the manager has been some debate has quality and I don t think we could be in a better position in terms of stability then we are due season domestically a challenge to lead with only 8 points ahead you know there s a difference from where we were all this time last year all we can do is really constitute a sales and again it s good but has complacency we cannot be complacent we go it just keep getting better and better and invest our resources in a areas and taking a magnificent club to to its potential. Peter low there chatting with but so English very open very own I think a lot of interest there I m not saying that the talk of you re awfully scummy don t the possibility of it being it s going to be 6 years old by the sound of things being expanded all but I think the phrase was you know people will take a bigger chunk of account and with that will come the riches of the school or school to get involved that would be nice of us it s a long way away in terms of where we re at right now it s 60 at the tween now and then and a lot of work to be done but likely to touch on there has been a lot of improvements within the game of Scottish football and it has been a reinvestment towards the game from other football clubs not just you know Celtic itself which is great it was even had the likes of some big money just coming to the top league as well which is excited and some of the you know former players who are playing in the play the highest level come back as well so you know Scottish football and a whole wheeze is in a good place right now and it s positive I m obviously we still like it to be better. I don t know from a point of view of the Europa League getting bigger I think we already talk about it that way about how interesting it really is if they were to make it even bigger then I don t know what kind of revenue that would bring a pick that could only be looking at it actually becoming elite I mean that takes up half a cent as well as sounding like Yeah isn t it yeah you know in terms of making the domestic league sure and making the European one bigger and dug in their own bow means if that was meaning that more Scottish football teams were in Europe and progressing in getting better and possibility of putting money on the platform with allows you to sell players for a higher revenue than the now the great truth I think you have to have peace and a bit of how many would rush the nation s legality and international level so I think yeah that would be a target for them maybe to be creating a sort of a league and who knows you may have 2 teams are going to make a best selling kind of 2 to one place and that s really key and one player and Europe and then of course you have to spend a lot of money. Not situation of interest I m also talking about the lone sendings was that you know him and bring in your young players and here it happened at tracing concerns that you had part of a long term right I think enhanced reputation was appointed me yeah you know that that he would be able to get maybe even better players and in the future not feel when you look at your public Roberson and Charlie is on that they re not the finished article but baby being the biggest and I don t even when I m critical of those players is that when I look at look young Michael Johnson who I would love to see in the team and do not get an opportunity and we re developing young players and let s face it Charlie was under what I ve seen so far is definitely not the finished article he will be maybe in 18 months time and that s part of the deal that we were given back to Chelsea and that s just kind of almost as a poet part of it but I could I could take a point where he is definitely and maybe it has driven taste of Celtic among the big teams to get players in here and it just part is strategy going forward and then Ok let s let s let s deal with it let s get on with it I mean it is the only way that Celtic playoffs are rated at that kind of value and I m not going to quote it that way they could get them. To bring them in loan from us for say the joint project lots of interesting points they made a little chatting with told me which at some length I would haze thoughts right now and there s Beijing I suppose us to clearly he s talking to those who are very much part of the decision making progress process there s a feeling that there will be a different line skates to unified people and just a few years time but we re heading rapidly towards Kaikohe time 5 past 8 south again Senates at Petersburg Let s hear from the by a German Celtic this is what he had to say to the media yesterday but we have to be realistic there s some great teams and of course the nature of the competition means it s going to be very difficult for us and probably like ways the Champions League you know we re going to be tested to the limits. Really in terms of were are in comparison to some of the other teams but for us it s a real exciting challenge our objective was to get through the group stages of the Champions League which was a great effort by the players and now we can focus and over these 2 games played against a very very good with an excellent manager and I think in another game that will really testers but we ve always embraced the retellings you know in this European venture that with the last couple of years and we ve got our reward by getting through the group stage by getting to here now and hopefully that of the 2 games we can perform very well and get a result we know what you know we know were were placed in amongst the these last couple of seasons like you say and in the Champions League was tough for us but but we ve progressed again this year to get through to the finish and certain the group and and I guess a realist you know where we stand in relation to some of the terms of superpowers and the finances at this level but we want to be competitive it s a great club Celtic it s a huge club you know the support base that we have as amazing and that really helps us in these games but of course we want to go and perform well and we always respect that it s a very difficult challenge for is what we re up against but we are always in to go in and be as competitive as we possibly can be and then it for people who don t know the football was obviously a very big club and Russia. With of or a lot of financial power behind them so what they have is they were no standard manager and they ve got you know host of really really good players they play 433 The play an aggressive style you know they want to press the game. And as you d expect from a top European team the speed in the team is good the techniques very good and I can see the there are a real threat given that it is spotty again between Celtic and. Financial it would then be seen as an opposite of Celtic not then I think it s fair to say that you know our terms are the supposed standards of both teams across Europe I think it s be fair to say that they ve evolved should be free of those people so it was then football will probably look at it and season as the team probably would be favorites to go through if I asked you this before how do you see a gap in benched or is it possible to budget it s always going to be difficult for Scottish teams and that s the reality I think that. 1st and foremost for us our charge here is always to try look to win the league to gain entry into qualification fees for for Champions League and then out and then. Alongside European football was very important for us and of course there are as you 2 have greater funds and order to build your club so unless something magical happens and there s a huge financial input into into the club then of course Eloise be a challenge for us legacy you have to be realistic we know what we re up but that shouldn t stop any hope of was always want to cause an upset and that is a wee bit tough games in Europe over these last couple of seasons but great experiences the movement of swap them for anything much has been made of the fact that we haven t played competitively for a number of months do you expect them to play a part in any we not really not really suppose you could look at it the other way and say that could be fresher been off for a period of time but they ve been workin you know they ve obviously been playing a number of games maybe the break can can allow them to be that little bit more fresher we obviously have of course in pre-season where we re at the beginnings of our season and we play against teams like we did over the course of the last couple of campaigns are freshen already up and rhythm in the in the games but. But it doesn t stop as we have find a way to get through so I think it just depends what your narrative is on and I think for them they ve had a break but the postman more can really hard and wail I m sure over the last number of weeks and they ll see themselves as fresh and prepared for this game but I think the a decent burial is that you know we ve seen and some of our European games earlier in the season that Ok you might not get the one but if you could keep a clean sheet then it gives you a chance away from home where there s sometimes no other pressure on the home teams play in the 2nd leg so yeah I think it s important to perform well make sure concentrations are a good level than not to made mistakes. Then we know that we ll always have a chance to sound safe any you openly. Said in sports science from b.b.c. Radio Scotland thanks. Brendan Rodgers sat chatting in the build up to the tiny build up very. Big around top right now you can hear the anthem that is always played in these big unity and nights which is belting out in the background the sounds of fans up in the corner there are a display. Which is always to color this utopian action of course already across the continent the 1st half of the fixtures and the round of $32.00 Sporting Lisbon of $131.00 away to start a home are opponents of Celtic of course dormant the beach at Alliant at 32 AC Milan have won but either way to live to go rates Basia beat Braga but he did know it was nice to look at a ball scored 3 spots out Bosco the last but he want to hold up let it go Bobo so contrasting portraits for 2 of the other Russian t.v. As their Real Sociedad sounds bored drawn to 2 and it was all star suits still are still pretty not sure. I don t go all from those and that makes it worth the other goal for the English side there right the teams eventually show like Chris McLaughlin and be there keeping is right across Alex McLeish story right what it was an across the way of breaking news it would not even kick off yeah yeah good use I would suspect for the city but in fun deceiving as it use it John Vause has stayed with the coffee hot as a pit bull with that Bosley and after those talks I won t think about it he has decided that in future lies with that but I was the author of the joy that in all honesty I don t know he was one of the favorites but sadly after those discussions he has the cited thing here States I think it s good. Actually it s a good sport if you especially given where they are Chris that this is Big actually does it does that very quickly in the space of 23 days old and I think it s a huge This was a bet it was well given will be out of the season I think given the little we ve been speaking about this over the past few nights check of course is going to lead the way on this we know that you paid not until aspect to the move the possibility of that move would be huge so if you was offered the job but he was told that doesn t feed off of that and that s a massive show on the not only for the club but for the fans as well. Rockets tell you but here it sounds like you can you know the atmosphere is building up very nice they won t fall short of a full high you see you know South that box but the plate at the you know police at the group stages be looking at right see a $3035.00 days and have going to be utopian ties where it s been pretty sparse in comparison to what they normally but this will be out there there s a chance is that we the biggest that David s across that you don t believe this either but it is old but a. Few rows at the front of either that the stadium on that Yeap or regulations have to be laughably or to help with site lights but below was still right as I believe his cell that the. Tunnel. Along the side the tell you to cut the said it that double the o.p.c. . The 2 of them made there so I think you could hear the noise that was big runs up the stuff you told their civil rights they sat boxed bowl of a stadium here in the East End of Glasgow all the officials there. Go south for the visuals that they should know officials there as well the lines run the very very. Lighting up across the.

So good afternoon and a very warm welcome indeed for me Richard Gordon the action the live action getting underway at 2 o clock in the wall this afternoon for a life coach to become Ross County I games to Rangers and it s a start of a really busy week we ve got live action Monday Tuesday Wednesday nights 6381 of the media wave it s now being overtaken sin Johnston and the cop tomorrow night weather permitting chief tonight stop the bill will be Celtic against Haas with commentary coverage 2 of Calif assault on the a from Martin united against covering just on the cup. Wednesday it s Fraser against Rangers in the cop and there s Premiership action to Ross County Aberdeen have barely and mother also lost look forward to but in the build up to that we ll be looking back on yesterday s action and the big talking points in Scottish football right now delighted to see that Neil Alexander the Livingston goalie is with us in the city and still I own up we promotion play off place we re quietly going to want to talk about I know you know what I ve done I think really has saved are doing well we re doing Ok. At start the season and the objectives or survival. Exceeded I think I think we can look above us and look to push ahead and we re just quietly going to see what it takes us just game by game and it s an old cliche but take one game a tame. Really tough fair bit coming up a lot beginning got a top team so it was important yesterday spacy pick up an important 3 points against a tough the ball on which it was a tough game of see the wind made it really about the level really it was a tough game always as against on bottom but it was a really good performance from the boys nice clean sheet I m Day 2 good goals so yabber were doing really well it was covering the game for us said the wind seem to be favoring you guys in the 1st half was one of those where you would have a right on a 2 half 2nd half we were on the back foot we but defend but we defended really well 2nd half and. We actually caused them a few problems sent off as well and counterattack so nobly we played really well yesterday it was a good good performance after a disappointing. Copeck set to fall cut loose and to go in the 94th minute it was about the nothing game it didn t deserve to win the game but we didn t also deserve to lose a game. And with the draw to be as to form on our call Rangers have been a good chance to progress in the cup but you know we ll put that to one say them a bunch but yesterday very well and day we can concentrate in a league now yeah everybody says once you know that I ll go of course right watch out more of the championship a little bit later also the later say that I am again. Teammate of course of Neil joins us from now but the studio Well welcome back Niall Yes nice to be back I obviously yes we went really well from from a self and more importantly for teams from now on on just delayed to be back again I think we need to establish you are clearly going to Sister Scott McInnis. I m trying to tell him to section actually worked really been Rooney rapist the rate came Tranda the lead big McKenna s lamely but they definitely assist the thinking get it right you like Jamie don t go Wow Scott to pick that one here since no of definitely was to go back a few times Nonis just a nonbeliever Strake one of those ones usually go on the top of the standard are obviously in the in the top corner but for us as players we were delayed a win and and a top corner so we re not just a reaction of just summed it all up really how great of a strike it was really important to after the defeat that I brought them in we just to get back to winning ways yeah it was obviously important I think I think we ve always sure not over the last number of years off there are disappointed defeat the legacy of the Grangers or whoever it may be we ve always thought up a move which was the challenge of coming back and just getting 3 points again I m picking up momentum it s a tough week 1st with 3 games within a week now come up before the Scottish Cup So now we all sort of go back to business we ll just worry about ourselves and obviously let the the people talk in the background plenty more China but the Premiership will lambchop about Niall s careers of course after a spell in Korea top English also football for you in the 1st part the program and then looking forward to the 6 Nations here yet gets under way soon does it gets underway on Saturday and for Scotland in Cardiff I m sure you do that readers t.v. We hope there is. In Cardiff next Saturday afternoon it starts and it would be a hell of a ride for 7 weeks right your rugby fun Niall. Just when Ireland s player. Would like to. Know that s very unfair Oh I mean. Ireland and England would be joined favorites I think that Scotland really yeah well being a mage but in terms of bookies England are favorites or even money favorites Ireland are $6.00 to $4.00 I think but Scotland have such an exciting side such firepower in their side I think they re going to turn over one of the big guns I would not be surprised if Scotland beat England at all revealed really then what s it like for did you ever play a bit of rugby now I did know it from a grown up but it was always Gaelic football and even just just soccer as well but rugby was never up my school Unfortunately I probably wouldn t be big enough and strong enough to deal with the tackles of the day less so I went down to the easier it with with the football right where you need a little needle rugby ever figure and you know it was never interested in both of you know but I like you know no not for me no. Did you tell him did you them dabble in the Gaelic football of the players all of these sports very very badly for the school or played Gaelic football and that played a bit of hurling at soccer as we called it because we have our own football. Like I greeted the young man we can see soccer Yeah but we have football I mean football in our lives Gaelic football you know so we call it we call it soccer so you ve got sorry 3 seconds or so but yes I play them all to a to a lamentably low level I would say. But he will talk with great expertise all of them all of it I do love on the radio so I watch that I watch them all and love them but it was just unfortunate was useless at every sport. It s a perfect credentials for Don t let your broadcast it is perhaps i should all you need to do is look at the sport which it is right Lou We ve got lots to talk about between now and that building up to the 2 o clock off and doing well Ross County again strangest let s look back 1st of all on an exciting dramatic day in the Scottish Premiership. The bright child here and I know my dad and. I get the funds. Yeah I think it s always important to know what do these players fall. Into the lose if we don t lose too many of the motivation to get to anywhere as quickly as old as they are nothing out there can be disappointing we have to be able. To get and been here to do the top 3 and I think we came up just a little bit short. But he wanted to watch. The speech close up to completely stupid to get so settled which was really good because he could. Stick Wolf he hopes to beat him because he was a complete but it was so it was to push the to go it was going to be. The game from start to finish and just such a slow people. But since then on the you know with. Proceedings from start to finish this is. Possible that she did not last but I declined as one wanted disappointed with the result of a performance was good that they let alone spell book so to be a decent place. To study this reply was. No situation but just know that it was the. Result of the end. To me we never got authority to surf. Boards All right. So how. In the Premiership this season we re good players is probably 1st time offense is a bigger. Deal because. He s not spoken to the players if. We. Are not sufficient to. Keep them a little bit you need a really good testi piece of sneak comes in from t.v. Doesn t know what to do with it yet but. 7 you know. Pretty please to. Get away from the give away much. Of. The. Big question marks over or those 2 at either end of the park for. We were there was the game yesterday in a different way when a supposed Celtic compared to the court much as they quite often Yeah I mean it was a difference the 1st half I thought something were very very good to create a number of chances they got the goal obviously through through through Griffiths. Sinclair s missed a sitter that could have been comfortable at half time but they weren t and then they got very flat in the 2nd half and Hibs came on to a game and McGinn I thought was excellent it got better and better as the game went on and they didn t I mean Neil Lennon is dead right they don t have a cutting edge then an awful lot of ball in a 2nd but they didn t threaten as often as they should have given him out to possession they had so there has been a recurring theme that has been a recurring theme and it s you know it s I wrote the irony of it as I go into yesterday. At it but I ve had a major problem in converting all the chances of created and yet against Celtic they scored 6 goals in 3 games now because of the chickens came home to. A little bit yesterday because they didn t have much in front to go to have a lot elsewhere I mean of a solid defense they were good material but they lack a bit of creativity I think going forward and they re like a center forward and everyone has been saying it for a long time and the Lennon knows it better than anybody so that s I think that s what he ll be obsessing about you put a louis molt. Or an Adam Rooney into that Hibs team and it s a different team Yeah I would hope McClaren support yeah. He had a bit of moments towards the end of the match where it looked like he might have you might have done something but I thought yeah I thought I thought Hibs were. Played well they give everything they absolutely gave everything to just like the Just like that killer touch Celtic flat in the 2nd half they need I think they need to bring in Rodgers needs to revive the squad a little bit going to be missed and Craig Gordon are for a while for quite a while it sounds like they re going to be missing Griffiths for a while. If it is a huge loss it s just a reminder constantly reminds of such admiration for him as a player because you know he s out of the team he s injured he s a bit frustrated he comes in scores the winner during the week scores the winner again yes against again yesterday he s such a dependable striker when he said when he s going to run a games and he hasn t had a run of games but now he s out injured and it s frustrating for him Celtic Ballack comes on does nothing. You know if we re talking ridiculous numbers here for this for them Bella 101520 1000000 he doesn t look like a 1000000 pound No it s amazing the body language. Its own story and that was the case yesterday not just sometimes a league. That s playing as you Neil you are a sympathizer empathize I suppose with Lee He s clearly a battle that we with Edouard with their belly to get a chance he got the chance yesterday scored the goal then the cough goes and you can see it was the most distort person I think I ve ever seen coming off a few ball park yesterday because when you get our opportunity you just want to take it on to. The 1st. Top. Scene of a league that I 1st thought was going to agree with Paul as very good. I think for me at the minute Celtics number one stray cartel human time again he proved himself to score goals to be on hand for a man or last time playing against. The hardest to play games every time he gets a boy he wants to shoot a free kicks corners equal quality any and every department and he keeps coming on and you get frustrated comes on he scores gets left on the vent gets left out and it seems to me that Brendan Rodgers favors most of them barely. Enough but from my experience league office for me should be Celtic s number one strike and he s fantastic I mean do you think that is the same as I m not just don t know Brendan Rodgers here but perhaps other managers in other situations where the foreign players or players have been brought a note are viewed somewhat differently to that the home grown Scots I think maybe is one of those ones when managers make their stance that the feel like the probably need or the player them an unproven obviously for them brain and club to start off with but regard league reface even my 1st season in Aberdeen there when he was ahead it was just outstanding one of just normal goals free kicks long range shots even score from every angle and I just even feel like from top until even operating center half another defender is just fine plan against League reface is more difficult than the plan against them belly although what the belly offers is a sort of strengthening hold up players probably what league reference is missing but Leader of us all round game is a sack in and on I really I really make sure to look up the good of a player he is in there well he does well he s in the team are well out of the team when it comes to any Oh sure there s Worthen and asked what they obviously he s big clubs need these schools course might be hoping over say that the injury isn t long term I m Craig Gordon big book goes to b.k. More than actually get a couple decent seats and the 2nd half yesterday but you know Craig Gordon will the u.s. Very narrow state for Craig to go so no Hardy s what already fly. A few years tops to get himself out and you know since he s come to Celtic he s been extended a noise how nice his critics but I think the some a c. Of these media of been fantastic and yeah I m just hoping it s not for too long just hope it s not as bad as maybe Fosse fear dubs it s to see me they don t have the problems a little think it as exact same entity. But I mean doest if he s coming I was he said You done well yesterday but for me to Judy still and daughters of season never for me when he s been called upon I don t think he s ever caught himself in glory and all of the Brendan Rodgers has brought a man and he sees something that means what before this one you re with him he s very good with feet I think a goalkeeper but I think that s a mean thing and you know I said to Judy still am I think they re absolutely to bring in another goalkeeper I don t know if that is as cover for daughters or as a number one indoor still be the number 2. But a little bit hard to replace really will be over we re going to find out how good Doris to freeze is remember when he was signing that extraordinary comment that Brendan Rodgers came out with whether there are any I think there are only 2 players in his managerial career that he really had that he had to sell that he wished he could wish you didn t have to sell so far as was worn and to Frisco s the other I mean he s a obviously thinks thinks the the earth of this of this goalkeeper so all he s going to have are is going to have a reasonable run I gave him a chance when when he 1st came in he didn t have the smarts I mean he give it to us in the head are we going to do you know of no isn t good enough but we need to find out in terms of those injury problems for Celtic the info yesterday kept them up in points clear Aberdeen moving up into 2nd place without when we started discussing the Victor Hugo s come on it with Niall McGinn you love love the fact that produces the putting together that we back at the start all the highlights from yesterday choose your goal rather than Scott McInnis goal I think that s just the fact I was on the show today I think it was under the fact of me scoring definitely not. There we re talking with imports that went from your point of view to get out or start back to get the guts of many minutes of the bell. Important as well yeah I was obviously over the moon the store to get the go ahead probably have but quicker than the next back to play for a long time out of the small operation just short in November December time Monday now I ve been working hard and sort of behind the scenes by has helped me massively with the winter break the shorter work on the fitness which has been great for me so now I can want to get some good going to get a shorter 2530 minutes against Rangers and I was feeling good short now the manager just thought it was time to sort of throw me in and I m happy did sure I felt good in the game it is one of those ones when you score and among them is when you re say you re sure to keep running for speaker on tape saying but they re not delayed with with Hi I don t with getting the call in the 1st start bike and obviously more importantly getting 3 point one of the new faces from even your brief spell away from the club how would you assess the strength of the team the scored right now the scores very strong at the moment. Even when I left leaves no legs to Jack Owen and Johnny has a manager that recruited well bring in McKay Steven Stuart. Like a Man or probably hasn t played as much as you would of late but they obviously really score Nickles and Stevie Meskimen scored a few goals as well he just rolled in the moment with was obviously this negli injury that is picked up so now in all the managers always done not since you came into Doritos one players of lefties also could have very well and we are a strong side and know nothings are good at the moment it s important to be obviously a bunch back from from losing games and now we re back to when it was against We just got a kick on again with Touchstone Scott McInnis goal of the club I mean it just shows how quickly a career can be so no need just wasn t in the picture even at the start of the season got the opportunity in the league game against Motherwell then at 4 part I think he s been left out one s sense but essentially he s the I mean the your mind in right now he s one of the managers 1st picks here now when he missed the Scottish Cup game because you suspended he get sent off in the Scottish Cup last season so not it s since I ve been away each command on the ground Ronan and now I . Been 1st class was defend an easy a great asset for us but pieces and it s good for likes of myself for having corners just to sort of put the ball the ball on us head nearly lost the attack everything so I think in all of these goals a skinny etiology going out a bigger price tag on to them until they are already is so now for a young lad to sort of pick the game best rough and I got it done yesterday is great for us and the boys just. Progress as a player and night is a club big lad but they are the words as always Terry has got the future ahead of him and now we re just delighted to have him out on Bring it was lovely. The highlights or none of them so game on b.b.c. Alpha last night really as they went to the garlic for Chris Boyd s Box 8. Point it was lovely to go look for Chris. This is not the 1st time to see shifts isn t specifically for Chris is back he should be. I think you ll find is the word you re looking for. What was lovely was you solo just just the relationship guys how it was Scott McInnis I mean everybody really thrilled for him that he had back in a moment yeah not delighted and it just shows the plan at the moment the confidence is obviously there of it was Scotty sort of common 1st or 2nd game me it definitely would not been shooting there at a he would have probably been crossed in the box or are kicking it out a player or doing something else but I did so you know I did you know suggestion that Kris Boyd likes to sing to him shoot shoot what was that something you know we have in the park actually off the show Gordimer short line up again to take Sandri Kris Boyd said to me at the time he was want them to shoot so he definitely got. One. Right like I think we did we did we played you a girl of I think we need to redress the balance and let s hear Willie Miller this great Scott McInnis cool. What did I do you know probably know what do you know what. You don t go there is either not anything. So lovely tall there are. You find it hard to believe that is Willie Miller and I mean really ever get that excited throughout his career it is achieving great things and with a European trophic You see he seemed to be very blunt as there when he was a great player. That s pretty. Busy I mean it was just as they know they say you actually said how populations or he would get flatter than it actually was so excited by scores go but of course already that I talked to off there is one of the pin ups while McCain got the goal Yes well his yes we know the relationship there is very. Little come out except actually just just moments caught McCain I told him it s a sign of of what I would be all right now I suppose that the timing don t. Go from also I think I ve got about 6 of those and it s very healthy he s obviously a player that cherish rightly so he s got great great a great future. And it s fantastic to see a player like him being retained in the game because not that long ago even Aberdeen would have would have would have had to have stalled and sold him so it s great to see Aberdeen are in it are in such a solid state that they can turn down these bids and I think they re right because this guy this guy could be very very good let s look at one or 2 of the other games and hearts Motherwell looked like it was going to be yet another clean sheet for heart I mean actually some easing listen to create living this a team around been in last 12 matches they have to stick to it yet that s still the same equaliser and I ll start thinking the cup refereeing decisions he thinks of what went it went against him not not best pleased about those I think once you know once they get into the habit of not conceding it s almost a shock when they do concede you know but. Motherwell are Motherwell are on their way back to back up into the top 6 where previously you know not too long ago we were we were looking at them in freefall and thinking gosh could they could they get themselves into a real bother. At the end of the tail bottom of the table Curtis Meehan has been an excellent signing from 333 games 2 goals you want to penalty as well and the cup which was scored an assistant 2 goals in 3 games brilliant to to fill the vast void of Louis malt he is really doing it so far. John McLaughlin furious apparently and trying to clean the ball had crossed the line you know it s a good game you ll know what I did if you ve ever gone some 104150 minutes well conceding you know my record as 5 clean sheets in a row and this distance. Nothing near Jones and yeah he would do everything in the power which I could venture if that ever went on the way to get that clean sheet but now I know it devastated as to lose we obviously we lost there a last minute goal and the cop last week saw yet there was that and to be so close to getting another clean she. Could go in and off the points you had to be devastating No I don t know where you would have something a heart say earlier in the season but it s been quite a trend transformation has now under Craig living does it surprise you that he s got them solid and growing as they are looking at dozens of praise me and the fact of Craig High as a manager either get the boys any you get and defend well and even when Aberdeen played them a number of weeks ago they were just the very Charlotta team they get plenty of players by Nepal and I m sort of trying it on the counter-attack and they did of chances against us but on the day we probably had a better chances but it s one of those ones he is keeping clean sheets and if you know yourself if you keep clean sheets of always a chance you want to gamble with regard yesterday with was short of having one no lady probably felt a bit frustrated that the sort of concede to read on but it s one of those ones were a 10 lead is always very dangerous and if you score straight away are you sure last Monday gamut. As not so nice short on the outcome of the game I mean when I ve seen them sitting there of late that I actually think about if you will again it s not just I think initially create was right let s get the. Then sort that out because I think he did that at the United as well but it actually started to have a football and clearly he s hopeful but will offer that kind of peace that kind of with that have perhaps been lacking yet at the end of the fraud in the Mitchell Mitchell as well. The impressive very impressive He s got incredible pace. They ve got the wish of Naismith they ve got footballers you know they ve got guys who want to play but Craig Levine given the soft touch that Hearts became it was always going to be about trying to make them hard to beast that was stage one make them hard to beat which they are now after incredibly hard to beat and then yeah you add a better creativity on top of that which I think and I think they re getting there now they re entering stage stage 2 I think it s been a not an awful lot of on justify criticism of hearts I think some of the performances are Leon and Craig Levine s there were there were Glee let s face it the football was ugly but they were trying to get to a point where they were hard to beat that they were difficult to play against they were robust and well organized they are no sign players that look very exciting so I think I think hearts are and despite their disappointment of history of only drawing they re still on beaten for an age and I think they hadn t definitely had the right direction comfortably in the top 6 and getting to within 4 points nag of a burning as a result of that draw yesterday a couple of other games I want to examine part was interesting. The little clip from Toby writes Miley decided not to go to see the players afterwards he said All hail would have broken loose I m guessing you wouldn t want all hell to break loose with Tommy right now definite So I think you made the right decision with Stan away on telly a count of down a bit more. Are you surprised that they just can t win all right no 6 and Jones very surprised I think not in Johnson s it s always been a difficult place for for Aberdeen to go there but I think over the last couple of seasons part official always seem to color on when and. Part of us were are decent say they get that they get the ball down on play football the right way which is good and not a particle of pick up their wins here and there on their border to make them apart and shorter when the game is confident as the dead to be over the moon but Tom Even Tommy will be angry sure we ll get the boys together again and beyond obviously get 3 points next them out the battle to avoid 11th place is going to be savage is not and I m not writing Ross County off but they re at there in a big hall but 11th 11th when you look at since the Johnson Dungy how much and Partick Thistle is not just on that so the other team is that you know the only winning it how about and coming from going to court in the last 30 minutes stop which they went from Smith might kind of blaming the victim but then you get sent off a plane with 10 men towards the end but you re right I mean as it stands now it s County 17 it s Partick Thistle and how much to both are $2325.00 and Jones that come on it both in $26.00 and you know for all that the eulogies for Steve Clarke at Kilmarnock and deserved are still only 3 points off 11th place it s it s so tight and it s going to go to the wire at this I mean Ross County. They need they need something and they need something very very quickly there are you know the last win was in November the 4th So unless they start to put together a couple in the they re going to they re going to be tailed off and this that the gamble to replace John McIntyre. With with on call is going to be seen as a dismal failure they need to get mortaring very soon Yeah I mean it is amazing as Niall said the only of the product this oh great record at McDiarmid Park of a very handsome wins in recent times one the way for who since the 1st of March last year ago the government have a just the opposite delayed far borders are a massive 3 points for them and I think are huge disappoint forcing Johnson because they had been expecting spatially hole to pick up points they are trying to get away from the bottom bottom so a cluster of teams. And it is dragging them is keeping them and when he could get away but it s a great result for the. One to 2 Billiken that you ve lost and then to get 3 points in the last few minutes was a fantastic from your McCarron obviously to send an officer to change the game a wee bit because you tend to drop 1010 trying to keep as many men behind the ball and in view of pressure when you go down to 10 men and it s just not been you a hold on so huge is 0 for Dunn d. Again a bad result for harm on bad design for us and joins the now so. As today s game the Rangers it s always a tough place to go up at their will but it s a massive game for both teams and you know Ross County cannot afford to lose their train just can keep progressing from their very good when up against Aberdeen junior week and they ll be looking to get ahead of him back to 2nd place so it s going to be a cracking game to be able saw the build up to that about an hour s time for Lycoming tree from 2 o clock just go back to the Tommy Wright situation if you are going back into the dressing room and hoped the manager wouldn t come in the way I can anything. Said You know how it is when the minded just doesn t appear I ve had mine just come in. Say nothing and it s just been silent and in addition you have literally what you have just gotten it s been stood silent no one said a thing and after if I mean what you know yet anger is worse is the silence worse than the show didn t. Yeah but the things he s shouting out to get you know you re going to get a Monday morning to you know you know you got the team meeting on Monday morning you going to probably watch the game and go through things and it s going to just drags I just get over and almost I m tamed and move on but far Tommy not to go in the direction of me the Political be dragged in to morrow morning going into what that drive in the training ground not going to be enjoyable and I love those kind of experiences with it but any particular individuals I think I think the saddest one is just very unexpected I think that s normal for obviously monitor to command showed through the rift raft and go bananas but don t expect that one of saliency don t know what I was referring to you personally always found other players and as nearly said it s a Monday morning when you go in and he becomes Kong free you know you re going to get a rollicking Nambour. Thank for it has not been too much of myself I was doing it McInnes under those circumstances no he s good he s fine e.l.c. Showed to north at the right time but when he needs to sort of be positive and keep upbeat as well as well very well as well and you ve got sort of Tony Dougherty in the background he ll he ll here give all we showed none again so once a shirtless not a bad one but once once again if you take him a bit more serious I mean it s always oppose and it s interesting this year for you guys as you look at different men and just different approaches it s all part of the managerial mix is not understanding the job understanding what your players need how they re going to respond to particular approaches that you take. I think for me personally it anytime a short I ve been doing well or if I haven t been doing well the manager would always sort of special manager just now it s probably been the best manager of work on the record and sort of getting the best out of me and while there haven t been doing well iii said the right things the right time to f.o. Need a bit of not east or not in the past and it s always result in the plan better which has been good for me so now personally certain canisters being created whether it s getting the best out of me why I need to shout at me or else he just tell me just sort of be positive with me and just sort of keep doing what I have been doing so for him it s. To get the best of both worlds Ernie. I think we just need to wish that enjoys the players all the best. That I. Totally agree that it s just good man management you know and I think that separates the good managers from the managers you want a lot of kids knowing your players who each individual will react to criticism or you know an arm and shoulder but praise and it gets a base to put I think now is a huge difference and the top managers not know I d be interested lassies last season your paradigm would you beat Rangers twice out at the moment Rangers are your closest rivals for 2nd place you were in Aberdeen team to beat Rangers twice this season ranges of 13 out of 3 against Aberdeen at 71 on a cumulative score why did you think that is why you think that that Aberdeen had success against Rangers last season but nothing at all the season. That s because I was playing last season and I know. Now I think there s a fair bit of pressure and you ve. Done the season a good no. No I think I think this season I think. Rangers started the game very well although we give away the pounding and I think the story just got on top of a straight away but that s always been even Sora last season and it s been awesome getting on top creating chances going ahead in the games and they obviously just see in the game mode and result in an obvious. Good reforms is an important one but the wind down and I brush last year was was just a very strong performance we created a lot of chances a could have been 3451 and now delayed obviously be involved not in that one a box for the 1st time in 20 odd years was great so I just feel a season Rangers have started better the got to cry behind on Monday evolve see played nice football the right times and got the gold as well so now for us it s important to branch back often to face but hopefully when one comes around a bit Audrey will be more ready. Just because we do it when. We look forward to your Rinaldo esque before my eyes big differences McGuinn I m. Always going to. Bring the royals to Neil Lennon should be the leading candidate for the Scotland manager any of you can say Michael Neil of course the state at the top of the job in the south it means a Roger said his his counterpart Northern Irish compact of course Les would be a great fit for the post it was the Scotia every to switch their attention to him yesterday the Motherwell manager and other Northern Irishman Stephen Robinson agreed with Rogers opinion as an interesting discussion. But who should be next school in mind park in Brendan Rodgers to Neil Lennon is this goal in mind it was kind of these Northern Ireland guys back in each other to the top job and I also checked a gallery lesson the money s your heads you know so it s not ready for a mate of a person Lenny any direction all I ll say is he s a very experienced manager that s money said the top top level for a good while it was a no doubt they can handle big players he s proved out so if he was in the Roman then you know it wouldn t surprise me you d be recommending another Normile in myself to the police Murphy took the job and you know I was a few more still to come I think I know I ll just come to. Where did you most proud of was one of the Northern Ireland managers though and Scottish football Yeah I think there s a spell you know winning numbers last year is known as a little spell here where there s a northern Irish managers but I think it comes from our upbringing our dry. Even you know maybe not even everything are aware of the fight for everything all the time and that sort of emotion at that amazes all the money Stephen Robinson there yeah I do really well the managers who are currently here and times at today s paper some to me oh Steven Davis surgeon these guys have had to bring Walter Smith out of retirement meal and Sundays amongst others I think mentioning former barn unit manager Felix Magath he s put as into the ring to be caught we talked about it he says he s happy it s called Monica I mean Neil Lennon is a very interesting Well 1st and foremost be delighted that Michael Neil the say that to stick with your country here not to solve the great need for us for us as a group of players what he s done for for not only also as a group of players but for the whole Northern Ireland he surely sort of put us on the map it s just been a great tend to be in current international and to be involved in sort of the last there where he s been in favor 6 years but but the last 2 or 34 years without him the euro Campeon and obviously common so close to the World Cup as well it s just been it s just been our number legal tender part of everything that you fear that he would go if of course it s one of those ones it s like anything if a manager is doing well. Clubs are going to become interested in obviously international teams are going to comment to us as well so now Michael isn t an important stage we had to take time to delve the way up as options and speak the right people and there was no harm in going to speak to Scotland body else he just thought there staying with more than was it was a best thing for him and for us as a group of players or said before we re we re delayed up here I know I m present in the program is a big part as far as he s concerned there s that it s look it s a quite a life to be the Northern Ireland moments are I mean he s in Edinburgh you can go out with a family he doesn t have any issues that would perhaps change if he became a school image I mean Neil as a private school or someone who represented this country did you anticipate Michael new taking over. Yes that I thought it would be a good fit for a mob Sylvan in Edinburgh it would be probably easier for him to take in a lot of games and you know actually in the stores that were actually and. They went after him and he s done that then so I mean fair play on me she stuck by his guns and you know if he was like he still got. Job to do it know the knowledge he s done exceptionally well with him. I thought he might want full time football you know often than a national part time so I think he s done well enough to maybe get a full time job. Obviously he s hopping on a if you say Style got something to achieve and he s got a great group of players and rightly so sculling because when after him yeah he s a good mileage of about a chance to get saved not to come. Who do we go for no you know everybody I thought I asked 3 questions on this program here it was before 911. Did you think that right. Now I mean also in your lens being tapped you know he s done fantastically well you know for Hobbs tandem around having a great season I think he would be a fantastic school if you wanted it I read reports to did on the tour not that he felt he was too young to snow so I don t know of fair that s maybe a factor of a maybe not want to net you know if Scotland could get him I think would be fantastic would be really would be a good appointment I think I m good he would. Gather the country together get the boys playing really good football hard to be and I think that s what we need and I will go back and say that I was one of the people who didn t won t go on strike into leaf critics and people said it was tame from believing not. To think on strike and should state I thought he was broom he can progress he was good and the players wanted to play for him and obviously those successes and their people would give their opinions and a lot he wouldn t want to manage pain for a change but I thought he was a great mine yet it was his I made another campaign but this is the point in the program where your policy of agreeing with everything top English says might be about to break down and I don t know that we need to get by I mean I smile Doc I mean we re struggling to get a new mind you know why not just leave God struck in and told we ve got someone who s ready come and go to strike and leave someone comes in straightaway to take over the reins the struggling you know I don t I won t hold 6 months has been since gone. Well if there were ever. I mean the risk of a risk of a glitch diatribe I mean your cup I ve been very happy to see as a scholar 5 be very hard to try to resolve so you d have to give another contract to see another campaign but unless you ve got someone wait in the wings who s ready come and government government another company but we don t know how to know when we in the way do you know I think on that part of the reason it was they were Vedic often they would get Michael in the if they had decided Michael in the autumn and noticeable that going from no no I don t I think they knew that they were up against this all the way through but Michael O Neill they knew what Michael O Neill thought the financial package that he was on they knew that they couldn t match that. They had they were fully aware that this was 5050 at best they never thought that definite going to get on here absolutely no question Do you think Neil Lennon would be a good Sultanate if I think you will be yes I will see how Mark know how good of a mind we can be and well think of. It is probably not be too much you need to. Think shorter as he gets more experience and I think sort of maybe later don t know Lenny might look towards international football but I m not sure in as in his head what it what he wants to do but it is an interesting candidate there but I m sure there s going to be many others you know well there are. So many times Walter Smith thank you much for your convince Stephen Davis to suggest I thought it was I think it was just I don t know what else Walter Smith has to do to reassure people he has retired he s finished he s out with a great life he doesn t want to be a football manager anymore short of climbing up the top of chosing it from the top of the stand you can t do anymore he s finished you know hugely successful McLeish successful both are in the same time of course all just extraordinary extraordinary but. Lord. Leave me alone. Right now but it s been pointed out to me it was exactly 11 years ago to morrow Alex McLeish was appointed to Scotland years ago years ago oh my God If our state so great read those great red orange which you know obviously has has a degree of support out there to go back into the job. Would be for me I think a be a kind of a step back in time he s been at a game for for quite a while but there s no doubting his his ability to galvanize a squad but I wonder you know has his time gone right I m told that the bookies obviously these changes some people to take in order though it s going to be there McInnes Nial is currently 3rd fee of $5.00 to $1.00 just just have a reward with a Oh yeah yeah I ll put my arm around his shoulder and Tom and they go deaf and I don t I do Scott I can afford to but I don t I m not doing that because once the job anyway but I don t think you know I mean he would fall in the same category as the elated when he was just too early too young in terms of taking the step away from full time Corfu going to the national team in our thanks to an assist it s just a difficult one to moment I think with such a big gap between international breaks obviously other people and other candidates come up whether it s all their heads or whether younger managers doing well because there s just so much space between campaigns and games and obviously late more names to come come come forward and just to be just to be spoke about it it s just given the media to speak about things and obviously just there was this player to speak about different things different candidates and now you re going to get a low demand but obviously they just need to come to the right decision there s been a bit of money would appear got a cold also for the one. Yeah it was about I think just put names just like anyone who s available is getting linked to the job. What is disappointing to do or have any standout candidates who could just step into the role obviously people are saying. Un is too young McKinney is too young so again you re looking for you looking for your order experienced does it have to be Scottish do you work for and you know it s there s no outstanding kind of it is weak in the way to be perfect for the jobs or the Scottish football so should have got but what to do to try and there now that owning and get the ideal candidate what to do who are not exactly what it is you imagine then there s going to have it just the board just that not having this very conversation I have to be I mean if they ve already had us they would have had. A list of a list of managers I would have been in their mind was merely pointed out a new study. In Singleton custom made for Indian slips it really could. Have been thought of a short list Yeah yeah and I would imagine a little list would have changed I think Steve Clarke would be on the list now whereas obviously he wouldn t be in on it before maybe Lennon is under this now but it would have been on and before. I hear more and more chat about Scott Campbell Yes not from within a pound but it just in terms of football fans I think to put a couple of guys in the show yesterday were saying look if you can t get a big hitter Why not just try and go with a guy like Scott Campbell who knows the young players coming through Scotland. Give it to him because other countries have promoters from from within the organization just if you can get that big that big beast of a manager goes the other route gold go with youth and you know so this doesn t this is a lot to play around with here but you don t want to get to one at a point someone just for the sequel point someone just because they re under pressure and need to for the press or whatever they need to appoint someone it is a case of rape Ok but he would do you not have got to get the rain you had to have to have to be right we ve got a couple Friendly s in March Costa Rica home hungry away and then of course there s this too or we re calling it a tour through in Mexico end of me sort of were you on the mike lineal. With Northern Ireland side. It Off the top with somebody going off to so the America yes a few years ago no we weren t playing. Well played year ago in Chile and South America and now it s been obviously arranged again we re going back to South America to play upon among Costa Rica So I think it s a very good game to be involved in the teams us going to World Cup on for us a group of players here get an opportunity to play against the best players in the world and woman played against Uruguay and surely there are 2 on believable games to be involved in the fear the crows just for the build up to the World Cup was of secret but also to us as a nation a city of affairs We re obviously disappointed we re not going to work but for the team to come around and the sort of opportunity to play in these games is exciting but it s one of those ones that doesn t fall they create pain with that with the garden time off but generally I mean it s interesting because I think no one of anything for that say about the fact the school and they re going to play these games there s you your beautiful Northern Ireland to play and similar much as you re quite positive about it. Yeah yeah meet me personally I am it s Iraq out of 2 words it s one of those ones or it gives a manager food for thought the bring in new players to have a look at new players and I just assumed other opportunity to get a squad of players together as well because you don t meet up often with been an international monitors maybe 56 times a year on the shore to have in this next year old campaign coming around it s obviously important games for for the manager to to see players on what stage are out was a common towards the end international careers or was new bred young talent coming through as well and and obviously other players that solves the Empress and for him to have a look up see I think that s a critical point the low points out there a lot of the protests about this tour is that it could impinge on the Scottish clubs preparation for European competition fair enough even if you took all those players out. You still got a choice of all parts of about 30 players. It bring those guys make it make it a project Spears It isn t a progress they make it a part experience part development tour so that the new manager fulfill his in bed and. Has a mixture of players to look to look at experienced players so that these games don t become farcical but also young players who haven t had much of a look in what s got and yet who might have a chance you know just just various various guys I mean if we had actually qualified for the walk off I know it would be playing those games later than the 29th of May in the state that you know presumably everyone would have been available some point I would have made themselves available but yeah but listen it s it s it s what I mean there would be more or less competitive games that wouldn t if you if you re qualifying I mean if you qualify Yeah yeah we had to actually call for it and they re more or less competitive games that they re not friendlies anymore that Neal I mean you better put yourself in stand by. Me What is going to feel like I presume that you ve never actually retired from international football have you know officially right or my well known if there s a lot of good well actually quite fortunate but it s always folks that have Yeah we have been Yeah but that was a little as a don t admit field or you may get a. Tricky one. In the box but it probably delayed the heat I want to present to you what he says I think you should use these these summer games for your French players and your young players coming on for me from the 20 one s and give them and let them and just see what the future holds for some of these players and your boys are playing maybe 5060 games you re Scottish clubs Yeah give them a risk in the summer office he d have got qualified for Europe and things like not but it gives you an opportunity to have a look at what s coming through and what the future is so and that s what I think your intent if you guessed it was his father s 43rd or his 44th game in a sea island person was saying and he should be looked after but he was saying that of the outfield players in Europe Keegan has played more minutes than any other field. Player Wow right across Europe this season and they will have investigated they don t know yet but that is indeed the case of more to come of course Scotland still wait to find out who the next manager will be and it is a subject topic that we ll continue to discuss this is Sunday sports there with me Richard Gordon Alexander. With me were through until with the guys right and but how possible also maybe we bit later and then build up an end us to the 2 o clock kick off between Ross County and Rangers listen live online at b.b.c. Couldn t you Kate slash sports star sports on b.b.c. Radio stop. This 6 nations across the b.b.c.

You know when it got break into play twice as well and no in the remaining few games or the n.l. It clear favorites know to just run away with it which is what we were quite happy with as long as they they keep a beat and teams around us here that beat everyone together and you know everyone saw you know when you re playing that money and you re possibly going to drop points off you can keep one in and the teams around us keep it be sure. Yeah it s such a tight league it s humble here boy everyone s beaten everyone a fantastic result from one yesterday folk in the Inverness who have come from the way they are but I charge a lot so that would disappoint I think the sending off was massive yesterday and change a game or have Yeah just before and it s changed a whole saying often given folks such a left but they re stunned to want to but were unknown to Paul Hartley you know the tough team to be we ve played them twice now it s been take games.

All the build up from half past 1 before that will look back on yesterday s action in the Scottish Premiership I saw been on. My guard and I think I just did a poll to vary across the goalkeeper to give up a big goal by good example. And I am again joining us from the. Scotland the championship Neil Alexander as well as I m from 4 o clock on the Rugby Park will preview the 6 Nations to Sunday sports on b.b.c. Radio Scotland. Let s. Try to pick this one with all the action from the biggest game. P.c.b. To school. So good afternoon and a very warm welcome indeed for me Richard Gordon the action the live action getting underway at 2 o clock in the wall this afternoon for live comedy to come Ross County against the Rangers and it s a start of a really busy week we ve got live action Monday Tuesday Wednesday nights 638 when the media wave its Albion Rovers against in Johnstone and the Cup tomorrow night weather permitting cheese tonight s Top of the bill will be Celtic again with commentary coverage to Calif this will go for Martin united against covering years in the cup. Wednesday it s Fraser against Rangers in the carpenters Premiership action to Ross County Aberdeen have parity and mother also lots look forward to but in the build up to that we ll be looking back on yesterday s action and the big talking points in Scottish football right now in the light of the see that Neil Alexander the Livingston goalie is with us in the city and still I own up we promotion play off place we re quietly going to want to talk about I know you know what I m going to really save our doing well we re doing Ok. At the start the season and the objectives or survival. Exceeded I think I think we can look above us and look to push ahead and we re just quietly going to see what it takes us this game by game and it s an old cliche but take it one game at tame we seem of course it was really tough fair but it coming up a lot beginning got a top team so it was important yesterday spacy pick up an important 3 points against a tough Dumbarton which it was a tough game of see the wind made it really about the level really it was a tough game always as against on bottom but it was our really good performance from the boys nice clean sheet and 2 good goals so yabber were doing really well it was covering the game for us said the wind seem to be favoring you guys in the 1st half was one of those where you just you know I wanted to say enough we were on the back foot we defended but we defended really well 2nd half and. We actually caused them a few problems 2nd half as well and counterattack so now we played really well yesterday it was a good good performance after a disappointing. Copeck set to fall cut loose new goal in the 94th minute was our it was about the nothing game we didn t deserve to win the game but we didn t also deserve to lose a game. And with the draw to be as the 4 monarch or Rangers have been a good chance to progress in the cup but you know we ll put that to one say to me but it s about yesterday very well i m day we can concentrate in a league now yeah everybody says I m sorry so we thought Ok course right we ll talk more about the championship a little bit later also the later say that now I am a good. Former teammate of course of Neil joins us from the out of the studio welcome back Niall Yes nice to be back I obviously yes we went really well from from a self and more importantly for teams from now on on just delayed to be back again I think we need to establish you are clearly going to Sister Scott McInnis goal are you I m trying to actually vote I really been Rooney here a player the rate came Tranda the lead big McKenna s lamely but there yeah I ll definitely assist the thinking get it right you like Jimmy don t go Wow Scott to pick that one here since no of definitely was the goal back a few times now and it s just a nonbeliever strike one of those ones usually go on the top of the standard are obviously in the in the top corner but for us as players we were delayed a win and in the top corner so we re not just a reaction of just summed it all up really how great of a strike it was really important to after the defeat that I brought somebody just to get back to winning ways yeah it was obviously important I think I think we ve all wish or not over the last number of years after our disappointing the defeat of the latest the Grangers or whoever it may be we ve always thought up a move forward towards the challenge of coming back and just getting 3 points again I m picking up momentum it s a tough week 1st with 3 games within a week now come up before the Scottish Cup So now we all sort of go back to business we ll just worry about ourselves and obviously let the the people talk in the background plenty more chat about the Premiership will lambchop about Niall s careers of course after his spell in Korea taught English also here football for you in the 1st part the program and then looking forward to the 6 Nations rugby here yet gets underway soon does it gets underway on Saturday and for Scotland in Cardiff I m sure you do that reason is teaming up to Richard. Yet in Cardiff next Saturday afternoon it starts and it would be a hell of a ride for 7 weeks right your rugby find Niall. Just when Ireland s player. Would like to. Know that s very unfair Oh me. In Ireland Ireland and England would be joint favorites I think but Scotland really yeah well being a part of the bookies England are favorites or even money favorites Ireland are $6.00 to $4.00 I think but Scotland have such an exciting side such firepower in their side I think they re going to turn over one of the big guns I would not be surprised if Scotland beat England revealed I really did look for Didn t you ever play a bit of rugby now I did know from a grown up but it was always Gillick football and even just just soccer as well but rugby was never at my school and unfortunately I probably wouldn t be big enough and strong enough to deal with that tackle to deal with so I went down to the easier it with with the football right where you need a little needle rugby ever figure and you know I was never interested in both of you don t know but I like you know no not for me No no actually I. Did you told you when they. Played all of these sports very very badly for the school or played Gaelic football and that played a bit of hurling at soccer as we called it because we have our own football. No no I greeted the you know we can see soccer Yeah we have football I mean football in Ireland is Gaelic football you know so we call it we call it soccer so you ve got to sort through some others but yes I play them all to a to a lamentably low level I would say. But you will talk with great expertise all of them although I do love on the radio I watch that I watch them all and love them but it was just unfortunate as useless that every sport. It s a perfect credentials for becoming a journalist your broadcast of it is perhaps i should all you need to do is look at the sport which at the right look we ve got lots to talk about between now and the building up to the 2 o clock off and doing well Ross County again strangest let s look back 1st of all on an exciting dramatic day in the Scottish Premiership. Here and I know my dad. Oh my gosh. Yeah I think it s always important to know what for these players for long takes on the disappointed when to lose it but don t lose too many of the motivation to get back to winning ways quickly is old Was there nothing out there that can be disappointing be when you are tough to be able better very best to get and been here to do the top 3 and I think we we came up just a little bit short. But he wanted to what did schools for these people to completely stupid to get so simple which I was really giving him because he could. Stick will he hopes is the this is just a complete so but it was so it was to push the kid go to what was going to be many of the game from start to finish you know so he so it was just such a slow period gold and I m quite upset about it but since then on the you know with totally dominate proceedings from start to finish this it. Possible that she did not go as I was going to decline and as one want to tank disappointed with the result of a performance was good and they were long spells on the books so to be a decent player. But we were the better side of the chances we played was he came out on the situation Bill last minute it was the. Result of the end of biting me we never gave up authority to serve and us wanted words running through the. 4th place so how. In the Premiership this season overall we re good enough players is probably 1st time offense has a bigger can go see them off the deal because. He s not spoken to the players you know but we. Go over. What he s done the not sufficient to to be the key to be a little bit unique and we were really good tonight testing a piece of sneak comes in from t.v. Generally Paul Hamann doesn t know what to do with it yet it s very. Ah I. Support to see apologizes to. Sell tickets. For the. You know this top level. It s way. Easier. Than anyone else does and that overall is pretty pleased to be you know. Like a very good away from give away much. And take. Nice old good news if I can. Think. So what was the up with. The Mr. Big question marks over or those 2 at either end of the park for. We were there was actually yesterday in a different way when a supposed Celtic compared to the current much as they quite often Yeah I mean it was a different the 1st half a thought something were very very good to create a number of chances they got the goal obviously through through through Griffiths. Sinclair s missed a sitter that could have been comfortable at halftime but they weren t and then they got very flat in the 2nd half and Hibs came on to a game and begin I thought was excellent I got better and better as the game went on and they didn t I mean me a little Lennon is dead right they don t have a cutting edge in an awful lot of the ball in the 2nd half but they didn t threaten as often as they should have given him a possession they had so there has been a recurring theme that has been a recurring theme and it s you know it s I wrote the irony of it as I ve gone into yesterday. At it but I ve had a major problem in converting knowledge chances of created and yet again Celtic scored 6 goals in 3 games now to kind of the chickens came home. A little bit yesterday because they didn t have much in front to go they have a lot elsewhere I mean of a solid defense they were good midfield but they lack a bit of creativity I think going forward and they re like a center forward and everyone has been saying it for a long time and the Lennon knows it better than anybody so that s I think that s what he ll be obsessing about you put a louis malt. Or an Adam Rooney into that Hibs team and it s a different team Yeah I would hope McClaren support yeah. Yeah he had a bit of moments towards the end of the match where it looked like he might have you might have done something but I thought yeah I thought I thought Hibs were find a played well they gave everything they absolutely gave everything to just like that just like that killer touch Celtic flat in the 2nd half they need I think they need to Brendan Rodgers needs to revive that squad a little bit going to miss and Craig Gordon are for for quite a while it sounds like they re going to be missing Griffiths for a while. If it is a huge loss it s just a reminder constantly reminds of such admiration for him as a player because you know he s out of the team he s injured he s a bit frustrated he comes in scores the winner during the week scores the winner again yes against yet again yesterday he s such a dependable striker when he said when he s going to run a games and he hasn t had a run of games but now he s out injured and it s frustrating for him Celtic Ballack comes on does nothing. You know if we re talking ridiculous numbers here for this for them Bella 101520 1000000 he doesn t look like a 1000000 pound No it s amazing the body language. Its own story and that was the case yesterday not just sometimes a league. That s playing as you Neal you are a sympathizer empathize I suppose with Lee he s clearly he s battled that we with Edouard and with their belly to get a chance he got the chance yesterday scored the goal then the car goes and you can see it was the most distraught person I ve ever seen coming off a few ballpark yesterday because when you get that opportunity you just want to take it on to. A lot Neal knew you were the 1st. But now I totally agree with what Tom seen of a league that I 1st thought was going to agree with Paul is very good. I think for me at the minute Celtics number one stray cat tame and tame again he proves himself to score goals to be on hand for a man or last time playing against. The hardest to play games every time he gets a boy he wants to shoot a free kicks corners he s got quality any and every department and he keeps coming on and you get frustrated comes on he scores gets left on the bait gets left out and it seems to me that Brendan Rodgers favors most of them barely. Enough but from my experience league office for me should be Celtics number one steak I think it s fantastic I mean do you think that is the same as NY I mean I m not just about Brendan Rodgers here but perhaps other managers in other situations where the foreign players or players have been brought in or are viewed somewhat differently to the homegrown Scots I think maybe it s one of those ones when managers make their sounds that feel like the probably need or the player them and improve obviously for them bringing under a club to start off with but regard league reface even my 1st season in Aberdeen there when he was ahead it was just outstanding. Just normal goals free kicks long were in charge see it was scoring from every angle and I just even feel like from top until even Aberdeen town or half another defender is just fine plan against League reface is more difficult than the plan against in Bali although what the Bali offers is a sort of strength and hold our players probably what Leader office is missing but Leader of us all round game is a sack in and on I really I really make sure to look up the good of a player he isn t there well he does well in the team are well out of the team when it comes to any of your shoulders Worthen and ask what they obviously he s big clubs need these schools course might be hoping obviously the injury isn t long term I m Craig Gordon big bookstores to b.k. More than actually get a couple decent seats in the 2nd half yesterday but. You know Craig Gordon Well the u.s. Very well and devastated for Craig to go to no Hardy s what over the last few years to have to get himself out and you know since he s come to sell tickets been extended annoys honeys his critics but I think the Summer see if these meet of of been fantastic and yeah I m just hoping it s not for too long just hope it s not as bad as maybe Fosse fear Dobbs it s to see me they don t have the problems a little think it as exact same entity. But I mean doest if he s coming off as he said done well yesterday but for me to Judy still and daughters of he s never for me when he s been called upon I don t think he s ever caught himself in glory and obscene Brendan Rodgers has brought a man and he sees something that means what before it s ones you want from he s a very good little boy feet I think a goalkeeper but I think that s a mean thing in you know I said to Judy still am I think they re absolutely to bring in another goalkeeper I don t know if that is as cover for daughters or as a number one indoor still be the number 2. But will be hard to replace really will be over we re going to find out how good Doris to freeze is remember when he was signing that extraordinary comment that Brendan Rodgers came up with whether there are any I think there are only 2 players in his managerial career that he really had that he had to say that he wished he could wish you didn t have to sell so Arias was one and to free speech the other I mean he obviously thinks thinks that the earth of this of this goalkeeper he s going to have a is going to have a reasonable run if you give a chance when he when he 1st came and he didn t have this was a really good returns in the head are we going to do you know if there was a good enough what we need to find in terms of those injury problems for Celtic the win for yesterday kept them alive in points clear Aberdeen moving up into 2nd place without when we started discussing the victory against Come on it with Niall McGinn you love love the fact that produce a biggie putting together that we back at the start of the highlights from yesterday choose your goal rather than Scott McInnis goal I think that s just the fact I was on the show today I think it was under the fact of me scoring death and I. Know we talked about. From your point of view to get out for a start to get the guts of many minutes of the bell important as well yeah I was obviously over the moon the sort to get the go ahead probably have but quicker than the next back to play for a long time now out of the small operation just short in November December time and now I ve been working hard and sort of behind the scenes has helped me massively will winter break the shorter work on my fitness which has been great for me so I came on again tomorrow and felt good that I got a short 2530 minutes against Rangers and I was feeling good short now the manager just thought it was time to sort of throw me in and I m happy did sure I felt good in the game it was one of those ones when you score in the momentum when you re say you re sure to keep running for speaker on tape saying but they re not delayed what s with Hi I don t with getting a call on the 1st start by can be more important to getting 3.01 of the new faces from even your brief spell away from the club how would you assess the strength of the team the squad right now now the scores very strong at the moment. Even when I left Lucian Alexa Jack Owen and Johnny here as a manager to recruit away bring in McKay Stephen Stewart. Nicky man or probably hasn t played as much as you would of late but they obviously really been score Nichols and Stevie were Meskimen scored a few goals as well he just Roland a moment with was obviously this niggly injury that is picked up so now in all the managers always done that since you came into the dories always when players of lefties always or could have very well and we are a strong side and know nothings are good at the moment it s important to be obviously a bunch back from from losing games and now we re back to winning ways again so we just got to kick on again with Touchstone Scott McInnis goal of the club I mean it just shows how quickly a career can be so no need it was just wasn t in the picture even at the start of the season got the opportunity in the league game against Motherwell don t fall apart I think he s been left out once sense but essentially he s the I mean the your mind right now he s one of the managers 1st picks here now when he missed a Scottish Cup game because you suspended he gets sent off in the Scottish Cup. Last season so not it s since I ve been away he s commend on the ground run and he s been 1st class worst offender an easy a great asset for a sort of pieces and it s good for later myself for having corners disorder put the ball the ball on a 10 year last year talk everything so if he can Are these goals askin me etiology going out or a bigger price tag on to them until he already is so now for a young lad to sort of take the game by Scruff and not get it done yesterday is great for us and the boys just. Progress as a player and night is a quiet big lad but the words as always Terry he s got the future ahead of him and now we re just a late how I see it was lovely. The highlights or not I was all game on b.b.c. Last night really as they learned the garlic for Chris Boyd s Box 8. Point it was lovely to go look for Chris. This is not the 1st time superstitious isn t specifically for Chris is back he should be. I think you ll find is the word you re looking for. What was lovely was actually. Just just the relationship the guys have with Scott McInnis you know everybody really thrilled for him that he had back in a moment yeah not delighted and it just shows the plan at the moment the confidence is obviously there of it was Scotty sort of common 1st or 2nd gamey it definitely will not been shooting there it would have probably been crossed in the box or are kicking it out a player or doing something else but I did I did you know suggestion that Chris boy did actually been saying to him shoot shoot what was that something you know we had over at the park actually after he scored and restored a line up again to take Sandri Kris Boyd said to me at the time he was want them to shoot me down. Right like I think we did we did we played you a girl about I think we need to redress the balance and let s hear. This Great Scott McInnis cool. What. I don t think no probs like you know what do you know what. Porno you want to go there so you can not only see so lovely there are to be honest no you find it hard to believe that is Willie Miller and I mean no one is really ever get that excited throughout his career he really is achieving great things and with the European trophy he seemed to be very blunt there when he was a great player. That s pretty. Busy I mean it was just as the now or they say you actually said how populations or he would get flustered and this actually was so excited by Scott s goal but I ve got to really look and talk to off there s a lot of us pin ups now McCain got the girl Yes Well you know his yes we know the relationship they re very. Close on come on exactly just just like when Scott McCain I told him it s a saying of of would out of you know right now I suppose that the timing don t. Go from also I think I ve got to put 6 of those in there it s very healthy he s obviously a player that they cherish rightly so he s got a great great a great future. And it s fantastic to see a player like him being retained in the game because not that long ago even Aberdeen would have would have would have had to have salt sold him so it s great to see Aberdeen are in it are in such a solid state that they can turn down these birds and I think they re right because this guy this guy could be very very good now let s look at one or 2 of the other games and Hart s mother looked like it was going to be yet another clean sheet for her I mean actually so mazing listen to create living this is a team that are unbeaten last 12 matches they have to stick to it yes that s still the same equalizer and I ll start thinking the couple refereeing decisions you know he thinks what went it went against him not not best pleased about those I think once you know once they get into the habit of not conceding it s almost a shock when they do concede you know but Motherwell are Motherwell are on their way back to back up into the top 6 where previously you know not too long ago we were. We were looking at them in freefall and thinking gosh could there could be a get themselves into a real bother at the end of the tail bottom of the table Curtis Meehan has been an excellent signing from 3 $33.00 games 2 goals you want to penalty as well in the cup which was scored an assistant 2 goals in 3 games brilliant to to fill that the vast void of Louis malt he is really doing it s offer. John McLaughlin furious apparently and trying to claim the ball had crossed the line your so I go again you re know what I don t know if you ve ever gone someone for 150 minutes well conceding you know my record as 5 clean sheets in a row and there s. Nothing in your joint and yeah you would do everything in these power which I can vent to referee and went on the way to get that clean sheet but now I know devastated as to lose we obviously we lost their last minute goal and the cop last week saw Yeah and to be so close to getting another clean sheet you know you could go on and off the points you had to be devastated now I don t know where you would have something a heart failure in the season but it s been quite a transfer transformation has not under Craig living does it surprise you that he s got them solid and growing as they are looking at dozens of praise me the fact of Craig hires as a manager even get the boys Any get and defend well and even when Aberdeen played them a number of weeks ago they were just the very Charlotta team they get plenty of players by Nepal and I m sort of trying to get on the counter-attack and they did of chances against us but on the day we probably had about our chances but it s one of those ones he is keeping clean sheets and if you know yourself if you keep clean sheets of always a chance you want to gamble with regarding our story with we re short of having one no lady probably felt a bit frustrated that the sort of concede to read on but it s one of those ones were a 10 lead is always very dangerous and if you score straight away are you sure a last man the gamut. Is not so in a short on the outcome of the game I mean I ve seen them sitting them over. That I actually think about if you will again no it s not just I think initially Craig was right let s get the defense off the boat because I think he did that at the United as well but it actually started to football and clearly he s hopeful but will offer that kind of peace that you know with that have perhaps been lacking yet they have their fraud in the Mitchell Mitchell as well he looked very impressive very impressive He s got incredible pace. And they ve got the wish of of Midsomer they ve got footballers you know they ve got guys who want to play. But Greg Levine given the soft touch that Hearts became it was always going to be about trying to make them hard to beat that was stage one make them hard to beat which they are now after incredibly hard to beat and you know you had a better creativity on top of that which I think and I think they re getting there now they re entering stage stage 2 I think it s been a not an awful lot of. On justified criticism of hearts I think some of the performances early on in Craig Levine s there were there were ugly let s face it the football was ugly but they were trying to get to a point where they were hard to beat that they were difficult to play against if they were real Boston well organized they are now and if signed players that look very exciting so I think I think hearts are and despite their disappointment of history of only drawing they re still on beat and for any age and I think the head and definitely had the right direction comfortably in the top 6 and getting to within 4 points no of a burning as a result of that draw yesterday a couple of other games I want to examine part was interesting. In the little clip from Tommy rate and I really decided not to go and see the 4 years afterwards he said All hail would have broken loose and I m guessing you wouldn t want all hell to break loose with Tommy right not definite So I think you made the right decision with Stan away entirely a count of down a bit more or less for sure. Are you surprised that they just can t win it all right no so very surprised to think not in Johnson s it s always been a difficult place for for Aberdeen to go there but I think over the last couple of seasons part of this will always seem to color on when and Partick Thistle are a decent say they get that they get the ball down on play football the right way which is good and not a particle of pick up where wins here and there and they go to the McDiarmid Park and shorter when the game is confident to be over the moon but Tom Even Tommy will be angry sure we ll get the boys together again and be wonder if we get 3 points next emote the battle to avoid 11th place is going to be savage is not and I m not writing Ross County off but they aren t there in a big hall but 11th 11th when you look at since Comerica the Johnson Dungy how much and Partick Thistle is not just on that so the other team is that you know the only winning it how much they re coming from going to court in the last 30 minutes stop which they went from Smith might kind of blaming the victim but then you get sent off a plane with 10 men towards the end but you re right I mean that s it. 17 Partick Thistle and how about a both a $2325.00 and Johnston come on it wasn t $26.00 and you know for all that the eulogies for Steve Clarke at Kilmarnock and undeserved are still only 3 points off 11th place it s just it s so tight and it s going to go to the wire this I mean Ross County. They need they need something and they need something very very quickly there are you know the last win was in November the 4th So unless they start to put together a couple in the they re going to they re going to be tailed off and this that the gamble to replace Jim MacIntyre. With with Owen Coyle is going to be seen as a dismal failure they need to get mortar in very soon Yeah I mean it is amazing as Niall said the only of the product there s a great record at McDiarmid Park of a very handsome wins in recent times one the way for who since the 1st of March last year ago we re going to have a just the opposite delayed far there are 2 borders are a massive 3 points for them and I think there are huge disappoint for us and joins them because they had been expecting spatially home to pick up points there train get away from the bottom bottom so a cluster of teams. And it s dragging them is keeping their men near where they could get away but I say get it result for them going back to that one to 2 Billiken that you ve lost and then to get 3 points in the last few minutes was a fantastic from your Macand obviously to send an officer to change the game a wee bit because you tend to drop 1010 thank you as many men behind the ball when you invade a bit of pressure when you go down to 10 men and it s just not been you a hold on so huge is often done the gain a part is out for harm one by design for us and joins the now so. As today s game the Rangers it s always a tough place to go but then will but it s a massive game for both teams and you know Ross County cannot afford to lose their train just can keep progressing from their very good when up against Aberdeen join a week and they ll be looking to get ahead of our body and back to 2nd place so it s going to be a cracking game to help us out the build up to that about now it s time for like commentary from 2 o clock just go back to the Tommy Wright situation if you are going back into the dressing room and hoped the manager wouldn t come in the way Ok . You know how you upset is when the minded just doesn t appear I ve had mine just come in. Nothing and it s just been silent and in addition of literally what you just want to tell it s been stood silent no one said a thing and after if I may what nor yet language is that worse is the silence worse than the showdown. Yes but since he s shouting out again you know you re going to get on Monday morning you know you ve got the t.v. On Monday morning you going to probably watch the game and go through things and it s going to just drags you drive just get over and done with some tamed and move on but far Tommy not to go in the direction of the political be great and tomorrow morning going to that drive in the training ground not going to be enjoyable for you those kind of experiences with it but any particular individual I think I think the so I don t want to it s just very unexpected I think it s normal for obviously monitor to command show to the rooftops and go bananas but don t expect one of saliency don t know what I was referring to you personally always found other players and as nearly said it s a Monday morning when you go in and he becomes conferee you know you re going to get a rollicking them but thankfully has not been too much to myself McInnes under those circumstances no he s good he s fine e.l.c. Showed to nor is there a taint but when he needs to sort of be positive and keep upbeat as well as well very well as well you ve got sort of 20 Daugherty in the background he ll he ll he ll give always show it now and again so once he. Once once again if you take him a bit more serious I mean it s always oppose and it s interesting I m sure for you guys as you look at that man just different approaches it s all part of the managerial mix is not understanding the job understanding what your players need how they re going to respond to particular approaches that you take. I think for me personally at any time of sort of been doing well or if I have been doing well the manager would always sort of special monitor just now it s probably been the best manager of work on the record and sort of getting the best out of me and what there have been doing well he said the right things that are a pain to f.o. Need a bit of a show not east or not in the past and it s always a result of the plan by which has been great for me so now personally 13 Kennesaw being created whether it s getting the best out of me why I need to shout at me or else he just tell me just sort of be positive with me and just keep doing what I have been doing so for him. To get the best of both worlds Ernie. I think we just need to watch this enjoy the players all the best so I think that if you re going back to what he did I totally agree that it s just good man management you know and I think that separates the good managers from the great managers you want to kill your players who each individual will react to criticism or you know an arm and a shoulder but praise and it gets a base to put I think now is a huge difference and the top managers now know I d be interested lassies last season in your paradigm would you beat Rangers twice at the moment Rangers are your closest rivals for 2nd place you were in Aberdeen team to beat Rangers twice this season Rangers of $13.00 out of 3 against Aberdeen at $7.00 and $1.00 on a cumulative score why do you think that is why you think that that Aberdeen had success against Rangers last season but nothing at all this season. I suppose I was playing last season I know. But I think there s a bit of pressure and you get from the season again. And I think I think this season I think the horse came down I. Started the game very well although we give away the pounding and I think the story just got on top of a straight away but that s always been even Sora last season it s been off getting on top creating chances going ahead in the games and obviously just seeing the game out and result in an obvious. Good reforms is an important one but the wind down of a brush last year was was just a very strong performance we created a lot of chances a could have been 3451 and now delayed obviously be involved not in the one Iraq for the 1st time in 20 odd years was great so I just feel a season Rangers have started better the got to cry behind them and they ve obviously played nice football the right times and have got their goals as well so now for us it s important to back after and defeat but hopefully when one comes around a bit Audrey will be more ready. Just because we knew it. We look forward to your Rinaldo ask before my eyes big differences McGinn. Let s go to Scotland. Brendan Rodgers suggested Neil Lennon should be the leading candidate for the Scotland managerial you can see Michael Neil of course the say that the took the job in the Celtic manager Roger said has his counterpart Northern Irish compact of course Les would be a great fit for the post as the go shave me to switch their attention to him yesterday the Motherwell manager and other Northern Irishman Stephen Robinson agreed with Rodgers opinion as an interesting discussions course but who should be the next school in mind to see you re back in Brendan Rodgers to Neil Lennon is this goal in mind it was one of these Northern Ireland guys back in each other for the top job and. We all stick together and listen the money s your heads you know so it s not ready for a mate of a person Lenny any direction all I ll say is he s a very experienced manager that s money s at the top level very good at what he does know day they can handle big big players and he s proved that so if he was in the Roman then you know it wouldn t surprise me you d be recommending another Normile in myself to the police my feet to the job would you know I was a few more still to come I think I know I ll just concentrate on what we re doing you must be proud of what s happened in the Northern Ireland manager of the and Scottish football you know I think there s a spell you know and there s a loss got his mind there is no there s a lot of spell here where there s an ordinary small injuries but I think it comes from our upbringing our dry. Even you know maybe not even everything are aware of the fight for everything all the time and that sort of you know should I put amazes all the managers or of Stephen Robinson there yeah I do really well the managers who are currently here and temps at today s paper something Steven Davis surgeon these guys have had to bring Walter Smith out of retirement a meal and Sundays amongst others I think mentally from a bar and you know manager Felix Magath he s put his hat into the ring to be caught when talked about it he says he s happy it s cold monic I mean Neil Lennon is a very interesting our 1st and foremost be delighted that Michael Neil the say that to stick with your country your nod to solve a great need for us for us as a group of players what he s done for for not only us as a group of players but for the whole in Northern Ireland he surely sort of put us on the map and it s just been a great tend to be in the current international and to be involved in sort of the last well he s been in favor 6 years old but the last 2 or 34 years without him the euro Campeon and obviously Commons were close there were accomplished Well it s just been it s just been our number Liebl kind of part of everything did you fear that he would go if of course it s one of those ones it s like anything if a manager is doing well. Clubs are going to comment rationality international teams are going to comment to us as well so now Michael isn t an important stage we had to take tamed the way up as options and speak the right people and there was no harm in going to speak to Scotland body else he just thought their stand with our alarm was it was a best thing for him and for us as a group of players or said before we re we re to load up here I know I m present in the program is a big part as far as he s concerned is that it s look it s a quite a life to be the Northern Ireland moment you know I mean he s in Edinburgh he can go with the family he doesn t have any issues that would perhaps change if he became school and my job Neil is a proud Scots I want to represent that is country did you anticipate my Clinia taking over. Yes that I thought I could for from of Sylvan and Edinburgh would be probably easier for him to take in a lot of games and you know it s right in the stores that were actually and. They went after him big time and his time that they saw I mean fair play on me she stuck by his guns and you know if he was like he still got. Job to do it know the knowledge he s done exceptionally well with him. I thought he might want full time football you know often than a national park team sort of thing he s done well enough to maybe get a full time job but obviously he s hopping on a if you say still got something to achieve and he s got a great group of players and rightly so Scotland would went after him yeah he s a good mileage of about a chance to get saved not to come. Who do we go for no you know every time I ask you questions on this program here it was before 911 so you just. Did you think. Now I mean also in your line is being tapped you know he s done fantastically well you know for Hobbs turned them around having a great season I think he would be a fantastic Scotland manager if he wanted it I read reports to did on the tour not that he felt he was too young to snow so I don t know of fair that s maybe a factor of a maybe not want to netball you know if Scotland could get him I think would be fantastic you d be really would be a good appointment I think I m good he would. Gather the country together get the boys playing really good football hard to be and I think that s what we need and I will go back and say that I was one of the people who didn t want Gordon striking to leave critics and people say it was tame from Believe it or not but I want to thank God striking should state I thought it was me can progress he was good and the players wanted to play for him and obviously the success as most people give their opinions and a lot he wouldn t want a minute thing for a change but I thought he was a great mind yeah this is something that another campaign this is the point in the program where your policy of agreeing with everything top English says might be about to break. I don t know that we need to get back to that I smiled and I think what struck I mean we re struggling to get a new mind you know why not just leave God instruction and told we ve got someone who s ready come and go to strike and leave someone comes and straightaway to take over the reins we were struggling you know I don t I won t hold 6 months has been since Contra. Well if there were ever. I mean the risk of a risk of a of English diatribe I mean your cat I would be very happy to see as a Scot and 5 be very happy to try to resolve so you d have to give another contract to see another campaign but unless you ve got someone wait in the wings who s ready come and government government another company but we don t know how they know when we do you know I think on that part of the reason was they were very confident they would get me quickly if they had decided Michael in the us that notable that gone from no no I don t I think they knew that they were up against all the way through but Michael O Neill they knew what Michael O Neill thought the financial package that he was on they knew that they couldn t match that so they they were fully aware that this was 5050 at best they never thought that their definite going to get on the absolutely no question Do you think Neil Lennon would be a good alternative I think it will be years obviously how Mark know how good of our minds we can be in but I think. It s probably no be too much you need to. Think shorter I think it s more experience and I think sort of maybe later don t know Lenny may make luck towards international football but I m not sure and in his head what it what he wants to do but it is an interesting candidate there but I m sure there s going to be many others you know well there are. So many times Walter Smith thank you much for your convince Stephen Davis is suggesting a thing which I think was just I don t know what else Walter Smith has to do to reassure people he has retired he s finished he s out with a great life he doesn t want to be a football manager anymore short of climbing up the top of shows like that from the top of the stand you can t do anymore he s finished you know hugely successful well McLeish very successful both around the same time of course a lot of extraordinary you know manager extraordinary but. Lord. I mean. It s been pointed out to me it was exactly 11 years ago to morrow Alex McLeish was appointed to Scotland years ago years ago oh my God If our state so great right North Korea. You know obviously has has as a degree of support. To go back into the job. Would be for me I think a be a kind of a step back in time he s been at a game for for quite a while but there s no doubting his his ability to galvanize the squad but I wonder you know has his time gone right I m told that the bookies obviously these changes some people to take more than the words to you re going to hear their McInnes Niall is currently thought Favre 5 to one just just have a reward with a Oh yeah yeah I ll put my arm around his shoulder and Tom want to go deaf and I don t I don t know Scott I can afford to but I don t I m not I don t think that because once the job anyway but I don t think you know I mean he would fall in the same category as the elated when he was just too early too young in terms of taking the step away from full tank of food onto the national team and I think so it s just it s just a difficult one to moment to think with such a big gap between international breaks obviously other people and other candidates come up whether it s all their heads or whether it s younger miners doing well because there s just so much space between campaigns and games and obviously loads more names to come come come forward and just to be just to be spoke about it is just given the media to speak about things and obviously just there was this player to speak about different things different candidates and now you re going to get a low demand but obviously they just need to come to the right decision there s been a bit of money would appear got a call. For that one the oh. Yeah it was about I think just put names just like anyone who s available is getting linked with the job. Which is disappointing to do or have any standout candidates who could just step into the role obviously people are saying. Un is too young McKinney is too young so again you re looking for you looking for your order experienced does it have to be Scottish do you want for and you know what there s no outstanding kind of it is we in the way who would be perfect for the jobs or the Scottish football so should have got but what to do to train there now that owning and get their ideal candidate would have to know who that exacerbated you imagine then there s going to have it just the board just said no having this very conversation I have to be I mean if they ve already had us they would have fat a list of a list of managers it would have been in their mind most merely pointed out a new study. That was in singleton class the Freudian slips it really could. Have been sort of a short list Yeah yeah and I would imagine a little list would have changed I think Steve Clarke would be on the list now whereas obviously would ve been honored before and maybe Lennon is under this now it would have been on and before. I hear more and more chat about Scott Gemmell Yes not from within that panel but just in terms of football fans I think the couple of guys in the show yesterday were saying look if you can t get a big hitter Why not just triangle what a guy like Scott Campbell who knows the young players coming to Scotland. Give it to him because other countries have promoted from from within the organization just if you can get that big that big beast of a manager God The other route gold go with youth and you know so this present there s a lot to play around with here but what you don t want to get you don t want to appoint someone just for the sake of appoint someone just because they re under pressure and you need to for the press or whatever they need to appoint someone it is a case of rape Ok but he would not have got to get the rain you had to have to have to be right we ve got a couple Friendly s in March Costa Rica home hungry away and then of course there s this 2 or 4 calling it a 2 or 3 Peru and Mexico end of me sort of chewing there were you on the one of my clinical. With Northern Ireland and start. And off we talk with somebody going off to so the America yes a few years ago no we weren t playing. Well played year ago in Chile and South America and now it s been obviously arranged again we re going back to South America to play upon among Costa Rica So I think it s a very good game to be involved in the teams are scorned or were called upon for us to as a group of players here get an opportunity to play against the best players in the world and woman played against Uruguay and surely there are 2 on believable games to be involved in the atmosphere the crows just for the build up to the World Cup was obviously clear but also the us as a nation are sort of affairs We re obviously disappointed we re not on the World Cup But for these games to come around and to sort of have the opportunity to play in these games. It s one of those ones it doesn t follow the great came with that with the garden time off but generally I mean it s interesting because I think no one of nothing positive about the fact that school and they re going to play these games is you because often there are wants to play similar much as you re quite positive about it. Yeah yeah meet me personally am it s Iraq are 2 words it s one of those ones or it gives a manager food for thought to bring in new players to have a look at new players and I just assumed other opportunity to get a squad of players together as well because you don t meet up often with been an international manager some of the face 6 times a year on the shore to have in this next year old camping common around it s obviously important games for for the manager to to see players and what stage are out was a common towards the end international careers or was new bred young talent coming through as well and and obviously other players that solves the Empress and for him to have a look at the I think that s a critical point the low points out there a lot of the protests about this tour is that it could impinge on the Scottish clubs preparations for European competition fair enough even if you took all those players out. You still got a choice of operates in about 30 players. Bring those guys make it make it a part to be as a citizen the progress they make it a part experience part development tour so that the new manager for the he s in but and. Has a mixture of players to look to look at experienced players so that these games don t become farcical but also young players who haven t had much of a look in what s got and yet who might have a chance you know just just various various guys I mean if we had actually qualified for the walk a fine if we played those games later than the 29th of me in the state that you know presumably everyone would have been available. Point would have made themselves available but yeah listen it s it s it s what I mean there would be more or less competitive games that would if you if you re qualifying I mean if you qualify Yeah if we had actually more or less competitive games that they re not friendlies anymore. I mean you better put yourself in stand by. Me What is going to . Presume that you ve never actually retired from international football have you not officially. Well known as there s a lot of good well actually quite fortunate with it s always talks that have Yeah we have been Yeah but that was a little midfielder You mean you got to get better at you when the ball was in the box but Tom will be delayed to get I 100 percent of what he says I think you should use these these summer games for your French players and your young players coming on for me from the 20 one s and give them and let the mind just see what the future holds for some of these players. Your boys are playing maybe 5060 games your Scottish clubs Yeah give them a risk in the summer office who have got qualified for Europe and things like that but it gives you an opportunity to have a look at what s coming through and what the future is so and that s what I think your intent if you guessed it was is 5 years 43rd or is 44 the game is senile and Preston are saying and he said he looks after him but he was saying that of the outfield players in Europe he didn t and he s played more minutes than any other field. Player Wow right across Europe this season and they will have investigated that they don t know yet but that is indeed the case of more to come of course Scotland still wait to find out who the next manager will be and it is a subject topic that we ll continue to discuss this is Sunday sports are with me Richard Gordon. And. With me were through until the guys run and but help us one also maybe we bit later and then build up an end us to the 2 o clock up between Ross County and Rangers listen live online at b.b.c. Couldn t you can slash sports sports on b.b.c. Radio. The 6 nations across the b.b.c. We ve done this once that show Tom Jones you know we have 100000 well that the Irish have that I think you said to them chips and gravy with it let s settle it on that. Was 2086 nations on t.v. Radio and online kicks off with Wales versus Scotland this is our year for the 6 Nations Saturday afternoon on 92 to 95 f.m. B.b.c. Radio Scotland I m not at all sure why a French person said cheese in the middle of that little trail but I m told will be talking lots of a little bit later we re still in there but I guess let s let s talk the championship then because I see we can see if we can get some bold claims out of Neil Alexander Livingston goalkeeper in a moment it has been of course a very good weekend for Samoa and they won t go on sir 11 points clear of need a challenge just on the United. Football from sports on b.b.c. Radio Scott Yeah I get to score the season 3 goals and he s getting a stitch up right pretty full charge of the job Brownie had. Want to Jericho was a little chip. I m a drive by just kind of a cover of People principle and the really good No I don t feel no one submitted to . The board but. It s it was for him but this is a tough one for us tonight. Might see all the action from all the biggest games so let s go. To try to destroy people in football now to be one up on its own 3 Nelson who s top 2 for almost 2 yards so in fairness is back shortly it s supposed to be a burden. For a little bit. With the help given midweek book. Overall we would be dizzy sequence that if we re going to give up you ll be. Able to give it everything and we would not much. Gold watch is to go for the shows in a real opportunity to get to the post by believe we can make the playoffs. And if we get. It I believe it will be. Good enough but they have to stop. The. Sick to. Accept the season because. The season could be stopped a new. Witness a pretty good safety net I think it s going to go right through the wire it s a really competitive league championship. At the top. It probably need to. Get in the top 4. Just like. It didn t start well lost to McCain then you have. To feel that things are getting too much even if you get you know why. 7 that s just what it is she s nice. And right a box and funny that classical people don t need a defined leave in order. To. Sport side on the p.c.b. To score. Big or was Jack out of the all the 4 by getting Tomic minus all excited at Tannadice a female Morton against United 31 Falkirk against Kelly Thessa Livingston s 2 no one against him Barton another Stephen Dobbie hattrick 3 this season $23.00 goals of the campaign $31.00 win against breaking of course it all kicked off one afraid to make the $21.00 win for set men on against Dunfermline at least in part Jack Beard Awards who got the winner saw Neil Alexander atop the table are leavened point advantage for someone over United you do have a game in hand look at that and think that s pretty much it now it certainly looks like that except Madden are extremely strong you know ups are a massive result away to the feminine frayed and I. You know I don t have got breaking to play twice as well and know in the remaining few games yet Illit clear favorites know to just run away with it which is what we were quite happy about is an easy they keep a beaten teams around us you know the beat everyone yet I mean everyone saw you know when you re playing you re possibly going to drop points off you can keep one in and the teams are going to be sure. Yeah it s such a tight league it s humble here boy everyone s beaten everyone a fantastic result from one yes and the folks in the Inverness who have come from the way they are but one charge so that would disappoint I think the sending off was massive yesterday in the change of game or have ye just before and it s changed the whole saying how often given folks such a left but they re stunned to go on about the run no under Paul Hartley you know the tough team to be we ve played them twice now it s been take games in all and but he seems to have signed a few good players and making a difference he made big changes there you mentioned a great win for Morton I would imagine I mean obviously you look at it and they are good away from home and they have that capability obviously still very much in the mix some more of the following that I would imagine the eye opener was the fact it was United losing 130 yeah yeah that s huge.
To get. The point. There ugh but there s a point at the end of the game Alan. 850 minutes gave me a point. The. Drama. To recover from the drug. I know this story this a little the road. 10 months in the Premiership lifting them 6 points away from. Someone an Edward School of the 31 defeat of see who lose their 1st. About the headlight result in the Championship Tomic minus 3 know he. Can. Defeat the champagne on ice and. Stephen Daldry going to start the season. Top of the table. Their leader the top 2. To start. Breaking and exclusive interview sports on b.b.c. Radio Scott. So those. All across the country will start the Premiership. Celtic one. Commented one dug deep to call it swallowed up by the well one suggested one particular still 3 in the Championship done deed I didn t. More 2343 Calif living said to the part of the creed of the south 3 city at least one. Approach they will be stronger 3. Raith Rovers East Fife water for 2. Are united for League 2 Clyde ward. To be Waterbury Rangers 3 city 3 added athletic to al good city to status of your deal but chose to Stirling Albion right what they ll sell tickets to parity at here very away at Celtic Park the elated life the stairs with Chris Neil I m guessing disappointed with the school Lehmann nor the performance of. The top level. Players in the games. A. Season for the Mr Men even off there s no question but we were superb 2nd half of the game and a lot of opportunities and we were lucky you know. An end to be. Magnificent. The goalkeeper is going to be really really solid and spectacular c. Is also disappointed because it was the calm there wasn t much in the game really just. Going to say You mentioned the absolute cracking saves and 3 games. In we d a few off the field issues to deal with I think. Very good goalkeeper and . You need. 3 games. To get a feeling then I think you get a feeling as well a big. Results coming. You know. But we have the you know we have the. Games. We did. I don t think we ve seen any clear chances apart from the brown the one the one on one 1st off we. And he just a little bit of quality decision making just. For a while. Because. You just have to be patient and I would imagine as a tricky one for you in terms of what you see after the game of that you just lost the game but you can t you can t imagine you can be too hard on the. Forefront of the give me everything in the really good. You know it s just a little bit in the game. Of maybe seeing the fans. The difference. In terms of the football. I mean commitments on questions of the school but really came. To the games from just finally do you expect to do some business before where the. Answer We have to try and get players before we can do to. See. A little bit. You know. Putting kids on the bench a deal and. You still need a. Deal by everybody I would like to have a I want to or maybe if he says but I think he s right as these guys every reason to be very pleased with what his players gave us after the yes I think so you know especially the 2nd half they had their chances the 1st half. Brendan Brown the Barker going true no one b. One and Craig Gordon coming at the top of the Save for the 2nd half the way that the almost dominated possession at times but it didn t create you know and that s the ever thinks is a fortune of Ember when he had a run of games when he won and he won 4 in a row and that s really devote 3 since then and lost quite a few and drew a few. And this and he s right not cutting edge and the final 3rd they haven t been able and even today they did Lucas have to create in and saved Celtic s box even though they had lots and lots of possession and you know we talked and I know the boys have discussed the Stokes before not you know and he was do one better quality that they have you could see he played at a high level but he has mains all right and he s gone so that they ll have to replace him they will have to find the player somehow. Comes on works hard works works hard and will scored that goal at times but he doesn t score and off maybe maybe you ll create enough for him but he certainly he doesn t score enough for them to be you know and you need that striker all top teams to one game you need you need somebody even times when you re not playing well and certainly some people support the ball back in it for you and you walk away with that with the one rather than the draw or even defeat as it was today but but yeah happy with the performance but just again disappointed because didn t even beat Sally s point of view to get away with it you know one nil they made chances and make numbers and chance to put it. On having a wonderful save not dominate in the 2nd half not to be disappointed. But disappointed a their own age they didn t know what was going to happen to their bellies Come on big big big thing also Richard Griffiths isn t that yeah you know you know he scores a goal looks bright and he gets entered has to go off the pitch that that s a real disappointment for him and I m sure. Sure for the fans you can see the frustration at times in the fans when London belly was given the ball away not he definitely these games he needs to be playing of because he s at the moment struggling I believe he s struggling to as touchin is in and just every time he gets a ball he loops is a feat he s not doing what he should be doing of all they just look like a shadow of the player who thrilled the Celtic fans believe for the most part of last season trying too hard to see it up but most of them barely last season avi s knew what it was going to do next if the school. Didn t like not one called decision in the game but you can see it was locking and it today don t believe the . Forwards now but disappointing I feel for the lot because. He s still young and he needs to get out mentality and it may just make up Celtics mean the. City that he has. So that could do a lot of these move whether it s had the club. But if he s off it today and part he needs. From the hips but if you know you just get off the luthier bit Neil Lennon make the exact point that you d need you in the coverage of that in terms of the quality you know if you can to win games at that level up against the at the top teams of any talk teams they take those chances and loved his performance but was bemoaning the fact that once again that sparked those kind of opportunities there was no like a sore thumb wasn t it just it s just when you get. To the I thought that one of the best. Just strong and I didn t. Get my get him again and played well today but a front and it s taken off Baka Shaw and Boyle because when he got a lot of good chances but it was. To be decisive whether it was money get an angle get a show or we were that you know. Have a back and mix peace an individual get nothing. Especially if you have peace and wasn t chances today for Habs opportunities and that the border lies is. Good but poor you have good midfield 3 and you re the just. Left. Or and they ve got the pace a solid then it just falls away or already trip over the ball or. You know a tackle comes in or something out there but they have to pace I don t know what it has maybe maybe they did one big player there s good and then work with them and you don t take them into to get big because they just run the bar bar. So he s only a young boy yet and he needs somebody there maybe maybe to help the. Mentality for me when you don t specially. As a forward thinking player you get off the 2 ditty to be decisive to get on and get and if just. To get it. Properly looks terrible Could you get anything you think you can see the top block and no belief in themselves so they go and beat in the last 41 whole league but just stretching all the way back to the 19th of December 2015 and a happy 100th game in charge of Brendan Rodgers with Chris indeed Brendan your thoughts 1st and foremost they re very very good when. It s the 1st time you ve played. I said before the game the good players you know good creative players play a good way and play the system well. Given the Forstmann the midfield and then given the pace of the boys. Born from. It did well I think we knew today that we wanted to be different rooms. I think the games that we ve played against. Before here. And there we didn t defend well enough you know soul support for us today that the moments we had to that we could have a good organization and defend well and I thought we did that frustration perhaps that is good that you are creating the chances but there was quite a few perhaps shouldn t have taken Yeah yeah I think that that was you know a frustration in the game because we had good opportunities in the box and that sort of 1st half and the sniggler give credit keeper makes a really good save from the free credit from Griffin and the follow up going to score. Made a couple of the good blocks and 2nd half you know just a quick finish touch to one of 2 really good moves. But overall I was pretty pleased today you know 10 victory against a team very good away from home don t give away much. And in difficult conditions you know the pitch in the way and then everything else was very good 3 points for us as opposed pleasing as well because you how been struggling a little bit and tales of consistency of selection Juha supposed to enjoy. Not really. I think Oh. Yeah of course. Injured players sort of projects across the know it was. Yet the players that want to be able to unavailable I never cry but it s unfortunate but we always have to find a way but of course if you have logic Armstrong Roberts these guys are of course that. You know the guys are scored more goals for us over the course of my time here so but you know we have to find a way and I think today was a functional performance you know. We get the some really good spells in the game but like I say I was pleased in the moments that we had to defend and we didn t give away too much so we re good big blows or suppose living and clay court and what s the what s the feeling in terms of the out of the moment. And he s on his knees so you know we just need to. It s not good news there but if. The Wayland s has experience knows how to play so that s fine. If Achilles frustrate I think. So was we ll get to the ground and see where they re up but they like the mists Miss choosing a scheme it seems to be a bit of a long running issue with with the. Make you think definitely. When you go in the window really try to go in the window. I don t think so most are here go out and the players come on by hopefully sooner rather than later so we re so just as important as gone with Lee you know in terms of you know consistency and availability so great for the winning goal but obviously not for us and for him. And his calf but we ll see how serious it is just fine I asked you before the game whether or not you are trying to get players and before Wednesday off are you hopeful that you can keep. Key players as well. I just I have just finished a game so nothing has changed in the 90 minutes from when you spoke to me before the game you know I haven t even considered a thought about it yet so to reflect on a good performance and I can say between now and Wednesday we have to get some Brendan thank you. Brendan Rodgers there one Dylan was for Celtic against have brandy and keeping up their position at the top table 11 points clear off Aberdeen with a 3 when I gets Come on it fell behind to Kris Boyd flick. Of the season for Killie but it was all about Aberdeen in the 2nd half of the double wide pretty special goal Chappell with a billable to look at also on target at the end a good day s work for their boasted of McInnes. Derek following the midweek defeated I brought home the biggest statement of intent was this schooling on performance today do you feel yeah I think it s always important to spike you know and you know what for these players for a long time zone or disappointed Auburn a lose we don t lose too many but the move ation to get back to winning ways quickly is always there and I think that was evident today I thought the thought we started the game really played the way we want to play on x. Say the C mon shape ask questions get played in both in the box we would go in motion a few chances were look to for their set plays and then we started playing the only it is we gave C mon encouragement it turn attack one isn t me to hold on the ball or 2 to point to some position Miller s appeal go. And you know I think you know have a good time please change things about play them again through the mother saying halfpipe can a way to. Miss out the guy we ve got more rather them and fluency to play but what was clear was intense in the motivation from the players and I see a question may I mean a few people. Can and don t know as you know I never doubted the players for a minute I thought I m a novice in the majority game but especially saying off what was your message to the players a half time because I mean I would absolutely don t either saying that just to play for what more play in a way that is more I thought we were playing too safe and playing to a point race were both up and it was actually. Shit To be effective for them you know we knew it c mon you know very compact attack when teams win against top position we have thought would go a plane through the middle or push too much and then I thought we were told the more we got it way that it is more don t need moments of call in any game and you know again let the game off from the whole 2nd half and I thought what can I say go is what you probably have next question and it was. Absolutely top drawer 40 yards over 40 yards in. Oh God on speed as I sit back and. Read my mind that of course I mean how much more decided discover can transfer fee in your opinion and as you put it is definitely going nowhere it s a new Eve not back several base from whole city yeah. Spoke again to us at Holt Yes that may just reinforce the message that it would be sot sail or not nice one though and their phone as off the hook for. The next few days no harm is a good place who is overall game is magnificent people demand remember the steak and rightly so but you know I thought it was standard. A young boy get more and more confident as each gave me a place and had a pipe partner Fosco one and a foster dad is a constant plays over all games very good to store a lot more to come from and. Go on with us that you know you had he had a straight lead on his locker. He s never shy ish or not I ve never seen a much Lee one as she is. Dead on the middle of the gold but you know he s never he s never been shy to want to sell for sure. He s never been as accurate as he was it was a fantastic stay and I think it reinforces the confidence in the boy himself you know this to step in and take it when probably nobody else knew going so it was a decision you know it was all 40 yards a set so it was a goal that impeded in the game just copulate we were. Off but the players after I haven a. Ways in 8 feet of mud we can just pin for us one player should be energy level and I think it is wrong not to mention young Donnie Deutsch as well come in and fleece. And he made a really good save at 31 and I thought it was very. Elated of one just finally go. What Niall McGinn gets very decent going to overshadow Wisco McKenna Yeah I thought . You know. Said played Santa for half and he if a species just good players and he fixed a game and space to go in or put in whether it s behind deficiencies in front of the Frenchies away that it is you know is the levity from Canas. Who was on the money to love a nice throw or no one in. A and he s such an important player for as you see dismay on the boy s face it ended again near. You know a good place for him and. I am going to be joining me to morrow sports and the Alexander like a stop English and of course belly and that body will be to the life coaching for Ross County again straight just seems to be a good deal right from and I would import a few McCain of working at both ends of the partment good back among the goals down the road just fine. For the club it seems confuse again is only goal as. I think it was really but you thought it was only initially and then it was given to became a year and then when you see it tonight getting underway at 6 o clock to be able to watch it then you could fight for the. I think. Those commend him McDonald You know on to the bar and he s fallen in front of the ball for the both come down and him it goes in front of the ball show and I really can t see if it s over the lane but I thought it was over you know Scott McInnis reaction you know Rooney s a strike he s going to. Claim anyway as. Well but confused I thought. You know what we can t get yourself on I thought it was a lot less the performance on the pa stuff saying tough we was a brilliant but it was led by a problem again and McKenna. Because Kenya taxable show well and the opposition box. With their general already in play I thought it was magnificent is good get it peace as well there s not too many going to be on for peace but the band. Aids are part was blowing I thought you know if you want done it or just that well we had the number of. Fell because after the goal we had one thrown a joint and joined then had one in the same time from Julio to when. To start what they had to come out and be really brave to make the double shifts and then they had a fabulous ear from me or the one all who really should of. You than there is reacted well to is read that to that I say that these monies to go I thought Sean over the bar you know those only apparently support you know and that s one of you want to I thought that was a really good see if he did extremely well in the 2nd half their home again of course was brilliant I just think he s always an intelligent player plays with their head cut off his balls and to areas that defend he to go and defend and strikers just love to try and get on the end of and his goal was spectacular he s put the ball up. There. You know and say these are one half and he s drove from the opposition. Into the opposition half he said 2 options get him a clean mixer get it run and McI Steven goal is the one I say you know the Defend Those go with the army to take on his own and he puts across a goalkeeper in the far corner saying tough was spectacular and that was talked about magnificent straight that maybe wasn t right in the top corner but you know what I thought it was by Jim McDonald before he could react the piece on it was. So all that that was a fabulous straight from the youngster really the 2nd top but it was a good 3 points may never set the points off the midweek Well I thank you for the softer 31 win for Aberdeen and the end to come on it s fine right. And away from the whole of the fight in Iran it was well partly in this. Late equaliser for Motherwell to add a 11 draw with Hearts has Craig Levine could get your reaction to the team s performance in the result. Disappointed with the result of the performance was good and they were long spells of well so to be decent played I thought we were the better side and had the better chances. With 2 clear penalties tonight in the 4 stuff we ve seen them both in the definitely benefits. But you know what shorts often few tours and we don t front and. Look like we re seeing a game out of 6 which will most minute was serious discipline and decent in the food record that you ve been on Israel with not conceding a goal they circumstances the way you lost them you know. The danger that mobile possesses is mainly through safe place and there s no other moment in the match I m going to get 7 players no box. And so we lost in injury time we have actually we kept that invited pressure. That we didn t need to have a win and I think not was that was the disappointment we knew that 400 spoke with us of the biggest threat. And we ve invited the players in the box and Oscar permits them to. Struck a goal by said Wallace a. Couple of touches of misfortune 4 years really folks off the head in the post never to post twice and. Say I thought it was some moments where we could play. The feuding thing of ourselves to peddle eclipse I think I m only sees them a bit disappointed in most of them because Callahan won but he was offended. Powerful run into the box when the most we caught them though of both very clear part of it up one is really what was said to me in the play about touching the ball well if you look at angle the pleasure approached from. It s impossible for him to touch the ball because he took it off at right angles and. Maybe thought he saw talks but wasn t going to she s a girl and she recognized session was a plea. To watch the ball and block to save the ball. Swings are going to miss I m hopeful that we ll do. Something so it doesn t sound like a manager has just come through a run of 11 league games are they the feat and the Cup win over the city or rifles and real frustration there for Craig Levy yeah do a frustration of a job then of gotta give up the Callahan one and should Michael and Stephen all point out tomorrow that s a still won t pay no if. That comes out and the ball doesn t give away from a Callahan as he goes to he s you want to get so lost touch and he s white bio jets but you know as a soul as 12 games and being from house yes I conceded that goal but I m still on this fantastic. Play the part as well if I could stop to 20000 much of that s a good point common here and you know a lot of people have says just because a ball dropped that he thought of that but I watched the assistant on the S.A.T. s and he was off you could see it was so you know be a pillock at the feet of hots and but you know the slowness on being run in the go to pop get on Tuesday night they did cover that game course a life coach there that will see how they like to keep up this fantastic run that they have been told in 34 mother both in terms of league and cup of hot zone ended in the league after 740 minutes 850 minutes it was all tooled including the Cup tie against have parity and right let s get to Dennet fairness and they stay in because it was a dramatic afternoon at the super seal then you were cold wintry by the end of the Leafs with lately I just gotta say that we threw it all breaks if you felt that was that So Minnesota billeted that was about to happen yeah I think over the piece on the eve of Certainly the bell so you think it. Plead the benefit bow. To go behind with a hot a go. There was a total and point for me 10 minutes into the 2nd half Templeton with a beautiful coffee and see the portion I think of they went to North not been difficult for done the. You know the care they got themselves back and to go from here envy lovely Vallie saith again it was well what about last 15 minutes after Templeton had get sent off there they just. Though sometimes you just threw everything forward Don t be proved the past indicate plane the way they got there one of it was a freak over not a 100 say that. The box know it with a short pass one and it come on he has a straight and it s Leach must you know just get. To the vets and to talk a call not so over the piece I think but again it s a sort one for darkies Sunday leapfrogging How will turn thank you to Jericho run through that league table of the 2 big afternoon for Partick Thistle who have moved further clear at the bottom of the feet Ross County had about gave it rain just 6 points adrift drop McLean they were after the game you watched Yeah it s a start Richard has been not going away a particle for 10 months now the fact they haven t won away in the Premiership they don t have to hear about it anymore now it was a conclusive win never much doubt about it really from the point Steven Wallace scored the opening goal on which Conor Sammon made it $5.00 and $4.00 for him a penalty box for St But Ryan Edwards on the breakaway scored as well the start which will be not going away Johnson is that they haven t won a home since Tamba him but have to draw their eyes and pick themselves up because the got a big Scottish Cup to Clifton Hill on Monday night weather permitting against Albion Rovers boss I mean it goes ahead it will be live us here all sports. No wins in the last 8 home games in the Premiership so rounding up today s action then in the Premiership 3 you want to open it has come out of one they ll sell to go to Bernie and Done deal with a 21 win to Hamilton hearts and Motherwell drawing 11 and it was just the one at Partick Thistle 30 so Celtic 57 points Aberdeen 46 rangers 43 to Bernie and 38 hearts $34.00 and Motherwell $28.00 it s come out of his Joseph more than $26.00 during the $25.00 how Alton and Partick Thistle on $23.00 and a 6 point difference as we said then Ross County and 17 championship a 3 nil win from water that time the days where Tiffany in our deal all scoring their full cork 31 winning is 10 man Kelly still out in your head scoring 2 penalties 100 Nelson getting his 1st for the Club Gitmo Renia been sent off for Cali this all before halftime and Daniel because I got the consolation goal Livingston for start goals our lives go right hearty to delegates to Barton and Stephen Daldry get a hat trick as 3rd of the season 23 goals there as Queen of the South beat broken city by 3 goals to one league consolation there for Calabar us and it similar to 51 points done deal aged 40 Livingston 36 then Farrell and queen of the South with a 33 Morton 31 caliber still 30 then that we got then to Falkirk on 23 departed 20 and we can city on 4 points league one of a journey is nil abroad Neil Jordan McGregor sent off Lee Don t the home team and gets beat get a couple extra nor 131 and Albion Rovers goal us between and we throw overs but you weaken the young so they are the winning goal is for for one to want to beat East Fife later on and a united by and in 4 more goals 63 league goals for the season but before I think it is in all competitions for him because when Craig getting a couple there as they want for want to Queens Park a United top of the table by a point from Rita of ours. And are brought in the play off places Queens Park draw . To the bottom of the table at 3 points adrift of 4 for an elite 2 but chose the league leaders to what win against telling l.b.

Talking point all week and that was to do with the Scottish Football Association and the range of difficult circumstances they find themselves in not least that Michael O Neill of Northern Ireland has taught him during the opportunity to. Manage Scotland. Against that backdrop was the revelation of the fact that we ll be playing at friendly games in Mexico and Perth and of course then also the announcement of the day which is a league issue rather than an association issue of the the Colts possibly being proposed to join the league that s the Rangers and Celtic Colts Donald pick the bones out of that and give us your perspective it was one of these weeks we ll use Expect the only thing you would expect to be good he was was Judy Guinness of his to be named as the emcee for the President s Club and his display of Everest and the way in wrong could go I mean I m quite forgiving of a manager you know off of a body no get homage of the manager just says I can t communal people say no if people yes I think that the problem with a safe easier scene to put all the eggs in this box skills seem to being very calm for than a bit and just field in the patch.

Job as a 5 I think school and with the nation s call up and with you know some young players coming through good junk players coming through as I want to try to the job if somebody said to be goal I would certainly a yard of I m not sure but hunting costs was looking across a while so he said to me if we have a thin school and I would give school Gayle a chance I know the thought that would be because he s Mahdi s a lot younger players ease. Than of until view dumbell a coal mine is a clever guy you guys got a lot good ideas these Allana the guy so the unknown the Colts saying I could just . So there one said this is just a guess and we ll go Ok Ziggy Gordon you re just back from. A week playing and Polish football from the perspective of looking at it from Poland What did you make to the hunt for the Scotland manager have we been to not or were not interests not white enough what do you think I think I ll be in the minority when I say that I would like to see a foreign manager come in and just have the freshness. That different look on things I think some things we can be narrow minded and school and I certainly think there s a lot to improve on. Over something so people that we messed up on such a good manager but I think you know let s let s close a door and open another one and hopefully the whole world can you know someone a bit different someone maybe people don t know much about it and I think something s got a little more in a foreign manager then give the guy in Poland potted come the sounds of he s got an eyeful up well let s see a little Jim it s not come up I hope no it wasn t us it was your club Yeah I was the ballast All right yeah yeah and you know listen I just feel you and the Polish league just stay with us talking because you ve raised and we talk about you know should there be a foreign manager and whatever and people talk about Belhadj has been cleansed and there s been a number of leads were not sent to us the one that s been thrown around can we just ask you is the manager and polish top league mad maybe that skating top sex or top 8 who s doing really well and he s got a fairly decent c.v. That would probably want a job as an international manager has a name they are if it s difficult once I don t know a lot of the mind. As if I was going to talk to them and have a conversation with I don t know them well enough in order to give you an ounce to that question what I could say is that you know at the top school knives. There are a lot of the minors and points. Certainly nor knew how to play and international football because I was sincerely off the show I think the way they play and point is a lot like international football so I thought a lot a lot of the managers over there would certainly. Get into international football with any His stations you know years of bad news or good news as they would have a great track record of course for. The game so that s the good news the bad news is the last thing we did it was a couple weeks ago when Lee McCulloch was a not very seat never go home I got bought and sold and shortly Well let me go but you know you want to look for something here and know that I ve been abroad I ve really enjoyed I think is going to be a learning experience oh you know professionally socially and and coach wise I would love to stay abroad I d like to see more people from school and to go and try what it s like I m like I got to come off it because I think there s so much to learn. Scotland and even England to see me a simple question would you be willing to go as far as path. You never know if it will. Very well as long as you can leave Biala stock and bloom Yeah very good sound very good for so much to talk of my gentleman and Tom came a day yesterday with me because I can measure what a good road the table of not that we can get in the table or not. Because another level of art and nominate mother woman she want to go for model to be because. Seem to be but don t post much press conference and I don t watch the pack shows commitment here lacking nothing Israel. We want to be but fortunate nor ever did against us but I think. Spine or not and said you know what fair play model for being the farthest team and name games not to score a goal against as you know it could have it seem tame remained good for you I couldn t run a been one kinda good Malawi partner by Israel and I think they deserve that I think it. What came to Washington and love spots what has Israel what would be quite a few decent chances in getting us an open game which would be was not classic but that was a false start but I think about what s the point but I d like to see the penalty again and again and again opinion and yeah for some not sure I m going to go for the model to force team and 19 magnificent run to hostile unbeaten of course. For us to get a goal Funtastic so model for me well I m going to I m going to look at a school or I m going to go with a scoreline of 31 and I m looking here at Barrick scoring 3 away from home in Beith good result strong raw scoring 3 away from home Albion Rovers queen of the South because of the hot trick for Stephen Goby scored 3 on home against but he can fall come good to really good result for name 31 at home to Inverness Caledonian Thistle and of course salutes there s not a one in net Martin Steen often. When a we at time of day scared but my team of the day to day is also in the top league politics the so have scored 3 away from home against my teams and Johnson it looked as if it was fairly conclusive at the end and a lot of nice me to parade my favorite pub trivia quiz who was the last pay off Barton player to score in path. Who was the last pay off button player to score to pay off Ok. As a different question and it s not a trick question it s how much of a fact Ok about an event it was on Sunday or turning Feyerick takes you can email off the ball at b.b.c. Dot co dot u.k. So Mr Williams my stove I ll just get yet the fight over golf Partick Thistle was scored by writing a good Lord s who was born and pay off and screwed. Up by. Right so with apologies to the last ounce of our scrambling to get us down so that you blew it we told him what fun for he say but let s go 2nd golden your team of the day please I would like to go for if I can go for 2 No Ok right well now I know it s all of late calling and then over just change you know when you re going to get up to be a 4 when you got home Ok I ll give us a mention to the 4 for coming off the ball in the table and being faithful way to one. I ll settle for more on going all the way to the done deal and confute past them I know that you made us talking at the moment but I think so still I think results topic or so especially him or more were kind of going as well so I think that s. Got one over going through it all right as you know not know what s year clearly for the done deal and could find it will be a less than chuffed result today we ve got no idea what the performance was like a guess that was need to get on going of course the moment sail away the top of the year period you thought you mention a flea s put all your eggs in one basket it will be financially as I would He says it would be an 8 had to do that season they don t have to go you wonder if the stage will lead to the you know fun stunt to look at a ball in the playoffs Yup and hoping. For the looks the team saying but when they can maybe be in a playoff Athey even get through the call from cation process and the only example goose among the Samoans for them has just been good for the season and almost redundant collar. The u.s. Playing ball of swims forms doing really good since in a sense a loss to. Eat well north things can happen if it will not convert collapses but I don t think there s a clock slightly some points clear so I think I think they ll get stronger and stronger I mean they have been in the transfer window the last the bass player of the kit you know so it s been a loose ball going get the money for them but he s going to is going to mean you re sol Yeah I think it s a really tough time for us for the in the united because we know we playoffs as well as even if you get in the playoffs the day so would it against you know the you know the game you know but my team for the day though as football you come for but we have a right I don t want to beat newborns please meet new borns clean she undefeated. A clean sheet to do so with us I guess the game was off it was what a lot of what I got the last couple of money but it was all there was one thing as it was and I was in the days right it s been awful Incidentally your nomination I mean a boy in my team a day as more and less as blank Campbell and good luck we haven t beaten Bundy in a town a day since the on direct she missed you know he you know yeah excuse me so the no beat them essence they cheat and remember run again but you know what the talk in Fawlty of just you know well. You know that exactly what if you know what 787 in one was on these absolute peak that s 40 years where if you take. A break in yourself. And not only be white and today but in total control scored in 3 top drop goals have another that s a load and keep a clean sheet was a performance with every player contributed and that s such pressure an amount of the much was very difficult. And point Hopman else all right on the table just about finish it I m going my mother will again I m not like to go from the hot sun feel you can you know very gracious of you give it your opponent Yes. Possible how much you re going for quite Ok ahead $1.00 high flying fleece scorning p. Ahead clade one last week for the the false claim and. Total ho on it being done Elaine and Anya suddenly a couple ones in a top that slowly pulls the way for the bomb into you know scary scary bottom end of League claimed one Peter had no I m going for quite stupid going to politics so he s going to go see it is a go for full cup because I got something to do because of one point in the season that we deserve full cover come and you know be can we can a good diversion but at one point the season with glee full color going to have problems and they re going to be unemployable among the good news the playoffs sports all go for them and getting a quote that was from a as a go to mid late now it s always a loss and also decide the team of the day please a moment Nations and on goal was asked for your reasons why could it be not only should hear for the play of the day just duck and sign Cal and he says Paul Machel on b.b.c. Leader we took time out from Coleman t. In the Celtic hubs much to tell us that Cus Boyd had just scored his 120th goal for Kelly and the fox Kafa game style but didn t allow that wow surely goodness it s got to have broken quite a few records oh yeah that was indeed only one goal to be 100 into a lot of what if. Not come off as arse I think it could have done Ziggy yeah was it you said you just stayed with your written in Scottish football you ll have witnessed old vs Lee almost a generation of your former teammates moving on Mickey Devlin going to the Dean again Daugherty move to a just got to lace be no left by mutual consent Hamilton They looked like they were going to get something out of the game today it Danes but lost an engine he conceded 2 goals and they on a tight night had gone Yeah they certainly lost to go in the last man. I think you know that you cool eyes it was about 77th minute are you looking to very late goals any we but what your thoughts about is that the beginning of Kane of Tikkun the hockey team or not I don t think so I thought think if you actually look at it was only good egg who really came out of the Start 11 yet in the and the last 6 months and fortunately I think it could on certainly played a couple of games this season and then obviously make a difference being injured and something from the end of last season so no I think it s just it s just a heads up I think obviously going 10 up so early. In the radio is probably kind of an ugly much because if the when you know best place passes and quite honestly I thought Holland was going to stay on and when the game but obviously that s what we love football it can change so suddenly be honest have you participated in ugly much as for how much too many to mention a. Great loss is nothing not even as it has to be Partick thought soul of activity for beautiful football over told me right as bond of Cole goals at corner some and living up to his reputation as one of the ones Greta strikers sees Neil but I d say as mother will as fame will be best against Hearts and rode a lot but can t fight and after we conceded a neck to the death restoring the natural war dollar and. And we stay in the top 6 party asking in terms of the Scotland job as Clegg blown up vailable and I am sure he has next school in mind John Lewis on go all George Jordan a nomination is there and also we ve got your join Lawson Still I don t know if you agree with us chairman but I will get your wallet out before the same score don t contribute in a couple of finish feces on Well yes obviously but. For us. Couple to come in but I think to provide a corrective to the the club has just bought David McMillan He s come in from Dundalk he he stuff to does debut today and looked a very very busy player won the panel a who he was. By. Champney their particular So goalkeeper it was a penalty for sin joints and a lot of people said it should have been a sending off as well and McMillan had to leave the field with a face Nork So that was a wee bit disappointing when 3 or 4 minutes of your top saying and coming off the sub doff. So as but that being said you know are not a big fan of the solution is to throw money at things because the strong thing about sin joins in as they have cash in the bank that there s a cautious board and rightly so and we ve also brought back a young guy a cent about Jason Carroll back from Korea the South it s also the case of Chris Caines coming brought back from the south under 20 team and knocked Rangers under 20 is Koppen Wednesday night so it s not hopeless by any means but what we do need to do is stop talking and risk need to stop making stupid mistakes at the back it s probably simplicity it was the whole thing the whole thing is actually not curiously enough it s not just the Shia people are talking about a long gave So actually a 4 or 5 year story if you look at the home form quite an interesting fight this but if you look across the line sent Johnson when everybody s been raving about them in the bin top sayings and get in and Europe have conceded unimaginable numbers of points from Hamilton Cole monic particular skill all of whom were bottom 6 teams when we played them and most of the points we conceded but at home so this is not by any means just the same. Maybe there s an argument that we are not a team that s great and playing at home I m a bit of that playing against the break away from home I don t know. But it s not just well he has a goal meanwhile of those hope yet for Donald Trump and Kemi young women because under good egg says Team of the day for me a set moment fun at Hans to be more than. Not it s not far distant and that sleazy because it s ultimately it s prudent modernism or absolute way I of course not SOPs all is fine and I m sure we but I mean a boy in particular so nor are we one sense March 20 something team. In ever be considered with the league huge one for the Jags and again by meeting a boy in a clade team with a deal of nominations no get us of that realize it starts with his body nor one sense low guessed son s oldest nor hormone goal since the middle of November and be a Pete ahead say today who had scored 20 secs goals in the last 6 games while Clay dove of a high high open a scoreboard. Tries to engineer at the top of the team and you know they. Don t just think that s all right let me. Just leave all put into the list of a steady open and just try to put so many thoughts in the head got a make some followed point I m baffled by the. Their safety they said they had a shot last so why didn t they get straight and slight the 2nd choice. Doesn t and instead suddenly there are these names of why and aren t all as going on says it s been a hopeless hopeless week for sure Ragan I know that he said things like I ve been keeping the board up to date I ve got the board behind me and all the rest of it but it can t be good for him to wake up and see the big beasts of scores journalism the both the record and the sun given him a real real kick in our own to make score and proof x. Shows your thoughts on not use well. Into motional food bowl is is really. It s on the birth of a the one because you food will support the things because basically if clubs are we to be nor in the national football at all because what they re doing and you can see the point of view good businesses who give away their prey Mosses for a little a movie come pay us and they get paid to get it yeah it s a little you know a composite sense of war what cannot know them and still thinks Celtics pro evidence is focused on a silty situation which issues because of the 2000000 pound Paul a new play keep players fresh but whatever finishes 2nd and 3rd in school and can expect to be in Europe 2 and a bit players presumably from those teams will be involved in school and scored so as a it s a hugely is a hugely difficult and I think the if you look at the long term I think the place isn t a national food bowl and almost unsustainable and I think it one point if clubs get there we and then start to run on fee for which I think would be all the will of a chilly Yeah I think almost almost a one vote on a vein exit for every 2 years you ll have the big money spending year appear to be $1.00 of the cops and these that we d all get a statue a ha teams and missions that will always be in the us and other nations will scramble but what but what a fight about Iran the very very same risk that the Champions League is and his goal and to which is for an awful lot of fans it s just simply boring yeah you just think Ok so at the top the top 8 nations in the world Spain and Germany and one of our present will always qualify for the one that s fairly standard but in the end they seed the game so that they always meet each other in the quarterfinals of a general I just think that s deeply boring but that s but that s the it s a we that the mike so my television review which is all a bit I mean one of the one of the mean in American it is people walking it along ladies at the moment Steve you suck disc so we can throw. McGillion Jillian s for the rights of the world call just defying the team would be noted but certainly doesn t then go so. I mean. In this corporate world the you know a big clubs the one you know the one Champions League and they want the money and in international football as 12 to all try to move on to television it is the case I mean I don t know I do get a wee bit excited when there s a World Cup on.
Margin that. Like little deal was. Told only says with the way it s been dealt with so I actually thought we were going to London but probably not. To the drawing board so that s really the point I m coming from I was the micro deal things done and dusted now so we should be thinking motivation is going to be the replacement and that s the one the encoding is just seems to be the same needles cropping up McLeish and I m Ok I m a car you. Don t know the new way shape or form you know. Because of walking in Scotland before and as simple as that I support to do the job well yes I mean the cattle he did well when he was here but things have moved on so much I m saying. A lot of what he does suppose I m the talk of roller Celeste s rain this whale so. I think we need to leave some of the younger fresher ideas than the MacLeish. If it happened to be no chemical you know nobody from the I think these mange think that s. Going to be the be then going completely on what they say that after the whole of the game. Do you believe that is a short because and that I want you expect that given this and bought a cement space that they can quite quickly. Well you would think so yeah I mean because everything s been done in public time and the streets are just been chasing the one the one name and nothing s been mentioned a short list other than people in on Twitter still or should we get so who knows who s on it but. From the idea that it will just be the sea needlessly as usual so I think we can set ourselves up. Just just because just to reiterate just because we don t we don t know who is on the short list doesn t mean the shortest did not exist if you. Know that we have Mr Michael Neal right to more or less Let s look at let s look at option b. Yeah I think I think so let s make an approach like a conversation but I think what Michael said about Steve Clarke is up absolutely applies here he would have been on the short list are long as the long term now he comes into the equation in a big way you know he would be probably he d be one of the ones I would I would look. Maybe Aleksey or would be another don t know but they don t think you re talking about well you know calm charts again and how much would that be and now you know they ve actually so public well they were offering Michael and you know why would the alternative go for your My wife s a very good point it s a very good point and I think that you know for me I m not one that buys into the not at the over he s got to be a Scotsman and. Prophetically Yes but I think we need to make sure that we get the right person for the job not as old and the one old to say it s the best candidate for it is to me there s a sense in a feeling that we are back at square one here and I just think that had there been a process that was in place and forward through wouldn t be the situation would almost feel it right now it s done and dusted Let s move on to you know can the nation and also the other point is that whoever else comes in know who s who. Well they were nor the professor can do that is that is that so wash you know. It was a turd choice and still is that does that bother him and Julie Well no because he wasn t sure Brendan Rodgers was the 1st choice at some point because you know for Paul lumbar as you know beggars and choose he s been offered a fantastic position to go and you know so but if you were talking about trying to get some caliber if you re going to go in trying to attract like a top and this is a huge corner for the us if you lose with themselves it is on the real pressure the you ve got to go and attract some real caliber Now if you are some of the of that standing you re going to see a 2nd choice. Maybe not one I don t think they can afford it on or you re talking about 600 guy and you think you know that s not bad money and everything you just and I like it but it s not going Raj is going to point 5000000 exhaust the top money exactly Jim do you follow international So you don t the country Yeah yeah I know all the games you know. You toss a couple of people saying on social media today you know and less Ace if they get their act together that s it they won t get a new membership. Renewals I don t know who are what the next couple of weeks ago to be looking for for the supporters club money again not only going to go Monday action that will be will be going up this way also we re going into the Champions League draw all the nations we draw on Wednesday when I m not a German. You know clue as to who which could it be or which direction we re going to go with anything so they re hardly hardly full enough for confidence when you memberships I mean market forces dictated that the s.s.a. Offer Michael any of what they offered him but they knew they knew what they knew what the i.f.a. Offer was the need the need to try and the kind of close that it s possible that you know may not apply for anyone else that they have a little bit I mean if you if you were going to come to them for a job where you knew the guy who just turned out I was offered x. Amount. You say to you by the way we don t need to offer you this much because we didn t want. To see what exactly because I get a personality evolve while I m 2nd choice and you know offer me as much as you in the top. 220 don t you Tom you said many times in this program he will be if you took the job the highspeed is not a manager ever again that that information was a low key coat and I think the guys are seeing that they present them with a problem with their approach to this early I mean I know it depends it depends on how you would start to it depends on how eager you are to take the chop but you surely see when you don t read news highlights make clear all thought thanks very much or you can forget it Ok well then forget it too bad managers are desperate for money desperate for jobs if they actually wanted to go you know what I want is I was manager or is that what we re. Going to just anybody Well I m desperate for the job because you re seeing a severe recession of course and you know it just goes back to the whole point there followed certain messages to get there and they ve been quiet on others and they ve not handled this very well it s a game of poker set and the negotiating table and they have not played the game well great thanks to Jim Newlands here for that called it just me or self as he said we re going to draw on where he would do all the manager there to reflect badly does it matter so they re going to get the draw and wait and say yeah as Jim was saying there we don t have a monitor there representing Scotland is a problem does it play badly in our What s your take and. I m just trying to digest all this information this far. You can look at it 2 ways I just think right now there s a faint need to get together and. And try and sort this mess out that s obvious have been created. But I m still trying to scour the internet is there any managers out there that they can call me tomorrow let s get let s have some let s go because we need to move this all not talk you know Darby you know a little bit in the northeast as well so I just actually try to see some names on here I mean and from pay to see if we had a good manager reinstate Gordon strike you know how he says we were their safety when Stevie quote was out of work and Kelly to come on out again without b. If they went for Clark and no other any names right now so if we re looking at that list and they ve analyzed who s available who they think they can get a slam that marriage apparently and that s well that s what we re we re hearing from our sources it was reported that he was on the list this list that you said doesn t exist but it was reported that he was 8 and written you know in a very astute in your last. At the moment if I was to make a call and apologies to connect friends here but Steve Clarke vast experience in England a big big clubs come up to Scotland out of the blue an amazing appointment by Killie incredible appointment no one saw it comment. Real visionary stuff and he s been superb with killing and you know maybe do a deal with Steve Clark do it now takes over at the end of the season that would be my choice right now I agree yeah I don t think there s any other than Steve Clarke That s a stand that you d actually Robbie under say yeah I fancy that last quote. I said difficult one you know and that s where the yes if you board have got to earn the money because and that s the point I was making the need to scale everywhere the whole the whole global It was an infallible game why the need to give a name because clearly as you know and I ve seen I m seen as difficult and that s the joy of all this wonderful Well you know where do you like us you re going to come make this year what it s not what you said it s a place where you can say the Malky Mackay Well Mark McKay He s already been you know discarded by this if he themself Where do that where do they go exact Well exactly no exactly what and again this just to go back to my original point with Gordon strucken very critical wasn t you know wasn t seeing he mosque or he must stay but why were they so desperate to get rid of Gordon strucken when that was always in one basket Surely you had to have some sort of process and please. Give us a couple of names Well Steve Clarke an obvious one but a lot of logical reason but look I m not I m not going to just make a flippant comment like Steve Clarke is a big big joke and quite sure he would not tell you should be taken to get the right person and not so that s my opinion as to your script Chris says yes of him for taking too much time on their own so give us a name closer to you since Steve Clarke where you said Steve can t we just know I was critical of them taking too much time after they had clearly identified who was their number one choice is a difference there yeah but that s not what I call an overall ground there was a reason for the it took to like it or not because I was it or not there was a reason why it took Well Ok let s let somebody I should have been plenty already from d the listeners who would you like to see their safety a point now that Michael Neil has knocked As for the Scotland job Texas 295 and b.b.c. Sports on the tweet me up b.b.c. Katie Mark you re listening to sports so with me Ken Americans are joined today by Michael Chertoff English and Chris Coleman who wants to turn to a Thursday I think it s fair to say we will try and do so we jointly the big talking points of the day in the make the access. With. Your Kids About Us to speak to them about. Where we re going to end up you think gosh what was it like being told You have to be honest I never was sleeping under the bridge how come you re here good to meet nice comment and discussion I had my son when I was 42. Pops everything she was writing that. Monday to Friday from 12 on b.b.c. Scotland. Cochrane kicks the corner it s pretty deep it was it was thought it was it was it was it was he was just what I thought it was I did he was he did she just was even with these guys 0 I think you re hitting it was by the strain was beginning to bolt more often. When I m watching a starving game and having been on the other side of it and you re being 22 and you have to double figures for Trott just so the pressure belts a lot of pent up frustration and joy of course because I love the structure of this football club and things aren t going well saw it was great to get the one going to see Lance and in his job probably stand say for a change it s a very very difficult pitch to play football a very difficult scrappy think the conditions the team I think it s more than obviously it s like to congratulate our players because you know it s been a hell of a dog on the been on. The skill set. On sports from b.b.c. Radio Scotland was. Great Before we talk about some of the big incidents I want to talk about the last 2 and a dobie. To footballers and here is a reason why the been such poor games do they cancel each other out is it down to tactics because the board being poor I think when you look at the starts Hotz of being on a very good run of late clean sheets but that comes on the other end of the field I think they ve only I think it s only part of this or that scored less fewer goals and so there s a clear a clear bit of evidence there that they don t really have a player at attractive attacking football but defensively it s something that Craig Levine had to work on to to notify that now I think the signing of Steven Naismith for certain give him a bit of creativity in the final 3rd I think once Lafferty is back that will give more of a goal threat. Of. Hibs are lucky in a number 9 of the minute they don t have a recognized strike and have not done for some time now what are your thoughts on Michael I think is the number of factors and you know some of the things that Chris was talking about there I think the park you know they ve both been attained Castle the last couple of games and quite clearly the players are struggling to keep the feet and you know tell you when you when you re when you re not balanced than a comfortable everything just seemed to be like a you know it s like a collision a tackle where who are touch but you know the sort of the giving of the quality of the game and you look Hearts are a very difficult team to play against no one has has made them that way as I think the way that we all predicted it would be has taken a little bit longer than expected I thought it would have been in this position you know 2 or 3 months ago. And you know that s a conscious thing that he s done you know and it s and I suppose you ve got to start there make it difficult and then build forward I m not 100 percent sure whether that will happen or not because he s going to get results no so I think there s many things to have done the new lane and have developed you know are a flicker skin when it needs to get and above a doctor game that are able to do that as well rather than just been all pretty and nice and you know some things Darby games can be like and when it s all blood and thunder not a great deal of quality although a lot of those games are late you still see more Gomo faction but Hearts which is very difficult you know the play theat about yesterday as well which to me was a you know a deliberate ploy making sure that they they got more bodies in the middle of the park to close down and not a low helps you re strong in there with Barkley McGuinn and media making sure the Meet the you know the did not get any time in the ball the 3 defenders in there and Souter Hughes and better strong in Posen No 11 anything to get in there so there was you know you got if you look at it from that same you would see that trigger. Hearts got the tactics spot on and the game played out exactly who they would want to it s not for a watchdog you know it certainly was what did you make of the post much comments from both managers tons of people being talked to restoring the natural order of things Neil Lennon responded It s just a crock of crap he said it s a pretty poor statement to make I think it s disrespectful to my club my players and me is it not normal for opposing managers looked on to to have a dig trying to get the action and un into the big There s no I wasn t I was in for the written journalists press conference I wasn t there but outspoken to people who were in the room the consensus is that Craig Levine was just it wasn t meant as a serious statement he even said Oh he almost wished that the goal wasn t over the line that was another tongue in cheek statement and me alone and I m surprised that it was actually taken the bait on that he was on the way don t you think yeah I did to put it depends on where the question was couched to Neil Lennon when he came in was it couched that that Craig Levine husband was killed on the rim and then sit up I swear I spoke to some of them in the room and said that they thought it was a crass and you know comment there was lacking humility I was sometimes in the room but that my homework done well done well done should catch on you know try a bit more of that I just think you know when you ve won the game you ve won in Edinburgh Darby you ve you know how surprising how Michael is going against Greg Clarkin this one didn t see that one coming as a cheap throw We talk and it belittles the you know the actual substance I horsed off the ball well it does because you re you just threw in their voices and just do you serious do you seriously think the cradle of even meant that we re not meant as a deliberate and you learn as a good pal is by the way the problem for right so you think he meant it as a deliberate slice against Neil Lennon hopes whitewood heartfelt previous their records a whole new let him play the game again Tom This comes back to this cause because process the fact that it s part of perception total power. It comes back to perception. Makes a comment like that you know the Hearts fans a lot but yeah the Habs fans and the Habs mileage on anyone connected with Habs of course are going to take offense to it so is perception irrelevant of you know whether you want to pass off as it was just a bit of a laugh and a joke the point is that there is no we re certain to be in a clique of the north that is going to beat all of us that it lacks class well isn t that that s your take on it I would say people should like not hear that but we might take a look at lights up an at and dog yeah maybe talk here we have to do as they are going to get a rival. Fired wonder kleagle being involved d with Martin Boyle off it was a joke. About Michael but what you re trying to figure out of order well Tom but I asked Tom what do you think of the incident on the touchline if you could get back to give him when he wouldn t go over to speak to the referee as well you know did you have to seem to be a recurring theme here of you slamming Craig Levine a lot while I look around him is that you both know what I back you up if it s a culture of violence you re antipathy towards the guy I don t back him up on everything but he did you go Tom again you re just dismissing my comments as if they saw everything you said you re suggesting that maybe there s more to it as an issue and of course there is they don t like each other let s face it but you so you re saying they re incapable of being subjective I m not little objective so not know it s a feeling of sadness so normal so Darby much tensions are running high and that s how we are coming together of your call on the touchline I thought it was humbug you know nothing and what about Anthony stalks you re. Clearly a problem for Neil Lennon but it s a problem you must have nor are you that Neil with the mindset is plagued him throughout his career the one thing that is frustrating with Antony is such a talented player. And I think back to the Champions League qualifier against Shakhtar when he did that lovely bit of dribbling inside the box itself the goal that obviously sent Celtic into the Champions League group stages he also played in the final against Hibs I think in 2013 when he was man of the match you a sensation in that game so he has got ability he certainly had much when I can see a pass but the off field like activities that is plaguing him is have an effect not only on his manager his team mates but his own career. And I think Neil Lennon s probably are you know just hangs up. And they re willing to find a way of getting relevantly Stuart s doing it but you handle I said that before and I think doctors let me alone and done multiple times on I don t factor member talking to link Neil Lennon when I was still something manager and saying that and he told me that he stalks was on his final warning and I think he had a misdemeanor after that. Cannot have done any more for Anthony Stokes he can but sooner or later the patience runs out and the trust runs out and I would not blame near Lennon in the slightest if we got rid of Anthony Stokes once and for all right just for the last few minutes because I want to discuss the comments of the Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers he reacted to comments you made and he was asked if it s transfer speculation that frustrated him more yes it is he said I am one that is about deeds not words. Posted see the word s. Ending in t. Since I ve been up here it is the one part of your industry that I do not like I do not want to stand here and waste my time whenever motor things to do than talk about speculation of what Kris Commons or other guys have said everyone has an opinion but opinions are not always that he ality he was speaking on the subject of central defense you are quite critical of the setting of comp are I was just you know the competition was because there s been so much made of. Celtic need in a center half for European football so the 1st center half that it brings in was a gentleman that cannot play European football so I thought that was strange to give obviously a transfer fee in excess of a 1000000 pounds give him a healthy pay packet listen I understand if he s going to get ready for next season but you know we d never came out and said that the one frustrating thing for me Kenny is when you are involved in the press and you get asked a question like Do you think Brendan Rodgers will be under scrutiny if he doesn t add a defender and I said that simply said I m pretty sure he s going to add defenders because he s openly looking at defenders sign Champa he s got 2 very very good defenders there at the minute is like Eric go which led me to believe that he s going to go and sign another defender so if he doesn t get a defender then maybe it could be is under scrutiny now the headlines the next day is Kris Commons thinks Brendan Rodgers is under scrutiny which I never said I never said the word job is not something that I would say I ve been nothing but respectful to Brendan Rodgers I think is the. One of the best coaches otherwhere with the u.s. Was surprised to see him come out you know with No not at all no because I think if he s been led to believe that I am making these comments in the press which press of putting a spin on it then of course is not going to be. Does it mean we re speaking of banks or not make Michael s probably the prime example some of that spoken is made of these programs for years and we know Michael that there s been comeback there s been plenty off it but you like playing the role just as you know he s been in the game long enough he s got to understand he s a massive club and Celtic of course he s on the scrutiny he has been the logical nor right no and that s why I think he s reacted he ll nor And he ll be desperately trying to rectify that see in a defense Yeah you know the thing is there are lower numbers as well because obviously Erik she changed was there we re more there s a bushman of which potentially being sought he will desperately trying to recruit and that position is far from set and I think the whole comment about looking to recruit at the top end with a creative player I think was almost trying to throw people off the scent because you know going back this whole thing of control in the narrative if you are open or person seeing desperate for a center half guess what s going to happen when you go after center half. It s going to be double the price I member Brendon talking of but it was a big narrative at the start of the season even of the center forward only had $2.00 and both of them were a bit injury prone to Bell and Griffiths. There was a big force in the papers about Celtic need a lot of columnists some to get a center forward why isn t Brennan right it was actually put to him I said look I don t want to buy another center forward because you and your set the dynamic within the squad because then you re trying to trying to divvy up the games between each player and and not all of them are happy because they re not plain enough and what happened he signed a center forward and I think Michael s point is that so because he doesn t want to talk about this issue because it is an issue he doesn t want to give air time to it because it is something that s on his mind I can understand that and I don t think for one minute the brand emerges though not looking every single position to strengthen his squad because once top managers do do that they look at trying to improve every aspect of the Start 11 and also the substitutes and he s always been very open to the personnel commit through the door are not just to make up the numbers they are to improve the squad that s part of his job but this seemed to you know you shouldn t feel like you know that you are giving in and it s been said that s about it no you don t you re going to call this is the thing in my yard I did not say that but I mean look the point he s taking exception to is that you know or he s he s thinking that for you know too much about half I think he s easy if you win a little bit under pressure with that because it will be the straight to go after a few people at center half and he s not been able to get them Chris Sutton I think close also a fair cue this calmly talked about it being ridiculous for anyone to be questioning Brendan Roy just training regime you were talking about it last week the intensity of it and the danger that come with that starting up tonight listen it s not being difficult is this track tone it down in here like you said is one of the best coaches that I have ever worked alongside and even though what if I weren t involved in the training because I was injured with my bike I d be watching everything I took away every single training session that wrote down on a piece of paper and put it in a folder. Is that good but is is work at the top Chelsea swans in Liverpool he works with the best athletes in the world he will get you fitter one conversation that Scott Brown out with Brendan Rodgers within the 1st couple of days was we need to get fitter as an individual and personnel and as a team we need to be fitter Brendan Rodgers put a plan together and everyone said is a fit is so it s a team we ve seen in years the phenomenal players of James Forrest Tom running to Armstrong Allan McGregor You know Scott Brown looks like a different player is going to want to 3 years what is your concern with the the too much the same when you train such a high level if your body is not quite in fine tune you have got the risk of injury you can t train so or did not think that the they out on effect is going to be a little bit of a risk to injury so you think you should be aware of the you know it s not or no I think I m not saying Taylor I m just saying there is a risk Michael that when you train so. Intensely there is a risk of injury and my point was that the the fact of the league moved to Denver Tom Roderick Eric Potter they re all they ve all been injured All right well just finished out with Scotland tonight through lots of people getting in touch so he is saying I think Tommy Wright has a good record that summer on the tones leave Jim Duffy alone Mark Hughes for Scotland Steve Clarke for the Scotland job John Collins Steve Clarke and Billy McKinley as a team says another David says regarding the Scotland job I agree want to tell him to take it from me the safe option is out some question a 2 year contract less risky and he wants a job and won t get into club management at a high level so wouldn t lose him again this time Roan as Sir Steve Clarke solely to see it come on at funds but he is the one that everyone seems to be talking about to make lots of action for you over the next 2 nights on sports join us for our thanks to Kris Commons to Michael Stuart and to Tom England to you all for your comments on tonight s program going on that it s the real deal 1995 and each one will be dealing with b.b.c.

Quit without any prompting walked around the globe when you didn t get it by yourself I got shocked if you wait so you can feel proud of yourself to write what we re talking about today that are you fed up of all these sales or have it. Done sales thing like I do Black Friday date no why didn t my goodness you most of the few people I didn t know I was there we go but we surely will have all the opportunities we will because you know today today is by Monday. So we have Black Friday or at least home we call black line no pre-sell Black Friday office I was like What s that all over the weekend Cyber Monday last at least a cyber Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday. So that when we look at Neverland sales a lot more discounting is on all going all the Christians pretty much and I am. Myself into the boxing days that I know used to just be Boxing Day did not exist and people who are killing open like I say cyber as I m going to say cyber Monday what is it and why is it called Cyber Monday obviously Monday we get that it s because yesterday that s the easy bit about that well they are American Black Friday and Cyber Monday both came from the states and they turned up in about 2010 k. So they re pretty recent things there really are a year really Cyber Monday interesting because it s called Cyber Monday purely and simply because some online shop put out a Presley release and said this back in 2000 following Cyber Monday quickly becoming one of the biggest online shopping days of the year and they coined this term which dark and themselves amazing you think it was quickie or something wouldn t you so this is your friends dream Black Friday and Cyber Cyber Monday you don t know no no I think a lot of people have lost now on completely originally Black Friday was a 24 sales period purely for the high street and that was to get sales on the high street back into the black in the in the books Cyber Monday was exactly the same thing 24 hour sales period for online I woke a story yeah I m with it now so Cyber Monday is just online it s not in the shops right Ok so you know these days it s pretty difficult to see yeah any difference I mean you got least 2 weeks of sales before Christmas. Goes all moment on and it s now they ve become calendar events that s the thing with these they don t just occur they calendar events so I can actually tell you that Cyber Monday next year is on the 26th of November and 2019 will be the 2nd to December coyotes get the phone died and I can be really excited and yet I m on the name that we still hear any such thing as a Cyber Monday was a would. Well get I mean that feels like that doesn t it and you look at it and it does seem to gotten. Behind the sales stuff but in fact there is still a Cyber Monday because it is strictly online and it s not only Street events so you won t find this anywhere or. Somewhere if I walk down the High Street so many. Clever waggle have a sign up somewhere saying Cyber Monday happening here it s not just all online I don t think well today just a hunch going to go online to what I learn but yeah you re probably right that people try doing these things but technically that s where it is unfortunately I think that Black Friday actually didn t do quite so well in the high street light did online I mean that s been taking over from Cyber Monday so what we ask is well so lazy just to get it delivered especially if they say that the delivery for free then where after I so all my whole of people going to be spending today. Well last year interest in of Cyber Monday dropped off in terms of seo. Being such a big impact of online shopping from Black Friday last year that it really took a toll on it but having said that on Cyber Monday we still spend 1100000000 pounds on line between as not me personally. But it s a lot of money isn t it gives you more savvy about this we re starting to look at this and we re working it out so we look at Black Friday look at cyber Monday and look at the sales and we begin to pace ourselves a little bit more about this sort of stuff we do our research on the deals we anticipate at the base prices go up so you know there s like to be some sort of increases spending I think this year. You may feel cynic that sits at the side of the class day gets So I think it s a little palm I would love if next year there was some ban on having these names and we just saw how much people would spend because it was 4 weeks data Christmas isn t yet here so I kind of think people be spending a huge amount of money today anyway Well you know what I mean if you took away the Cyber Monday thing anyway listen it s going away from now until next Monday but you know in Sa to say not to raise I ll be doubly cynical that. Now you mention that I did hey you say something about research you said something about research and anticipating prices because it s all about you worry me because you actually listen to what i days a.j. I know I should know better than this because I see this Mary monitors Molton is mutterings Yes Only it s a ratio like a low I thought to go get well and so yes exactly so they does that yeah you quite right it s all to do with our searching around and using websites and looking at what we want to buy and get to know that when we search all these different websites before Black Friday and Cyber Monday we mock them these days and then on the day we go back to the bookmark sites for a green eyes. Click on press to see where the best deal actually is so we have to use the technology to get ourselves the best deal we possibly get on line of your and I m finally for me today I ve got now finally Well yes I suppose I have I mean you probably think that Black Friday and Cyber Monday or put together of the biggest online shopping days of the year in the entire world well they re not. Not really not compared to singles day which is a Chinese event which is the largest shopping day in the year but most of those pale into the figure like economy that was singles day. Was a day they spent $14000000000.00 pounds in 24 hours this year and it s actually an anti Valentine s Day celebrate why. I love that track you know it s not a great idea right thank you very much Dave also you back on Friday I will be at his back and tried to pull Beazley we shall see you soon have a great wait.

Good afternoon welcome to Radio Merseyside sports shoes day evening excess nods and days with me James Merrill for between now and so. 1 o clock it had been a fairly quiet week for Everton up until yesterday when it emerged that they had made Marcos Silva their number one target to replace the sacked. What Fred say that they re determined to keep hold of the Portuguese manager who doesn t have a clause in his contract so should the blues break the back to get him or go for other options lots of people having strong opinions on Sam Allardyce one way or the other Judging by the phone in last week last night s event texters I want trouble for a start your message with the words you can tweet us as well at b.b.c. Sports we ll chat to former Everton goalkeeper Nigel Martyn about the blues and also their we can opponents Crystal Palace a little bit later on in the show not good news for Liverpool on the injury front Saudia man is come home from international g.t. After feeling a light recurrence of an old injury and the family of Klein will be out for another 3 months after undergoing back surgery but as for Klein are they really missing him at the moment some good news dominant So I think is being called up to the England senior squad for the 1st time he could play Brazil tonight despite not making a Premier League start for his club and this off to Jordan Pickford and Joe Gomez from a desk. In the draw against Germany last week and another talking point to downfield Emirates Chan should Dortmund the latest club to be linked to him it s likely he could be leaving the club on a free Manchester City another club reported to be interested for him would you let him go to be replaced by a better player text or tweet us your views tonight or be chatting to sites legend Jason dog who will join us on the show to look ahead to Liverpool s match against Southampton on Saturday by lights are on 5432 on our quiz Ben and Matt go head to head again after drawing 60 loss we don t fix this one honestly does currently. Leeds 9 points to 3 with no sign of the blues coming back just yet. But all that could get a chance a little bit later on good evening to where Gary Gillespie and Ian Snowdon. Want you to on an international weekend when your teams are playing. A mission to be an ambassador for the club we are rather busy to be honest in the community and the game of golf today James dollar entry mean Graeme sure and so football for those who haven t done it like Gulf it is Goldie but using your feeling obviously and for the bigger ball with a bigger boat and it was you know I quietly enjoyed it it was really good that would hurt wouldn t it with the normal balls. To be. Yeah with 8 people out in the community it s all about getting the old people out and active and they were great they had a lodging great you know really enjoyed it now I ve seen you play golf you go to goal for some to play football for life. But no really enjoyed it and good morning so yeah the ambassador a really busy during the international break because there s a lot a lot more to do I tell you what s what s taken off was what I thought I went a little poll I think the Reds in the community is the common what they call themselves but they were doing walking football yeah I ve done a bit of that as well and that is actually quite hard because you re so tempted to run you know if somebody s possible that s a few I don t have in front of me I m never going to make a reasonable image of a good more it s a form of. Like I said I m going to show I want to myself you good at they saw us and saying that s all the Graeme suicidal don t always Korea wargame football is very difficult it is just keep yourself a steady walk because you re not till you just want to Boston. What would your good things like. Anything that gets added to a rankle It s always fantastic for those hamstrings and Everton yet to make an appointment we are kind of expecting at this international break but I guess the game gets one 3rd maybe put a bit of a question mark against David Unsworth that wasn t there before possibly you know what loads a lot of fans have and fans have it s own eons are coming up to me what s happening snog do we get in I don t think my opinion counts for anything because I thought we got the money wrong acumen I really did I told everybody I said I think this is the man this is the man we wanted and look what happened so he don t count for anything anyway bore is interesting too we re going to get on our Some Isle of dice again as we mention Sean dice bighorns a great victory the other day we give him the Crystal Palace I think he will be there for the Crystal Palace game and let s see what. Do you think me a fight that of going to and made an offer to get so there s not not really dictate that the beginning of up I get off I don t think you can give it to the lights out they saw you know of the ball obviously identified the man at the Wharton as it just gave them the right sort of door a green a deal with what he said cæsar chuffed of color skies because obviously he s not been there long and sell one for just the beginning of the season did great job or all nearly kept to mope trying to Watford do a decent side as well so don t get me wrong we are in my eyes and in a lot people s eyes efforts on we are a lot bigger club than what food we always will be so it s a stepping stone again form for silver. He looks composed on the church line it looks as though he knows what he s doing so if he s going to be a change seems a given to Crystal Palace game I really want to see if he can win that one again. The lads are moving training with him so one thing about that what for Guy to clean when they were 2 nil down they had a choice to make then didn t they then they play for the manager or they don t and it would have been very easy for them just to throw the towel and I think well they are international But I think they have to do I think since I got the job on 61 of them me is old school like cause he ll tell them if they re not doing the business and I ll give him a pat on the by if they are doing the business and apparently before the game was caught they want to know down and then he made a complete substitutions and they responded which is good for a cat 2nd money just so one does a great lot I would seem with the job or if. I really don t point I don t know is I may say yeah I want silver but I said I want to run Ronald Neumann I think Shaw did 1000 are all the Tony s want to mentor we ve got the right signing and not just their attorneys you know a lot out of everybody because a lot of people throughout. Got 8 players etc Well while Liverpool got clocked haven t got Qumran is this the way of going to see David Unsworth as well camping out with the 20 he want to change and Goodison Park which is only going to change you know what it s all about Gary Phillip a pole great way to to end the the period before the International bright with the win it West Ham Of course it was there the Solomonic show I wasn t in some respects but but man a question mark of a fitness after being with Senegal Yeah I think you know you can t stop players going to play for the national teams think it s always going to be a risk. To play a full 90 minutes so you think maybe it s a lot but caution and. There we see when he gets back a thing or system when it s back to me I would but you know let s keep our fingers crossed that it s not too bad I don t think it should be as I see if you finish the 90 minutes with a hamstring injury I think if you Norman a hamstring injury it dictates that you come off. So we finished the film 90 minutes got the result. Doesn t really it s not really required is it because I think Senegal done the business I qualify as they can the still go near because they re going to be some challenges there are some challenges with I think against South Africa because fast or something to the court of our it s all very very complicated for us that we don t really know too much about it sure but I think it s the right thing to do to come back to me I would. And person who that s what you want you want all your pushbike from international duty but fair and room to go . Could be available as well which is another plus another bonus it s a big selection problem is it not for Klopp this weekend because Does he go with the theory of if you play well enough you stay in the same because anybody who comes in for if that was to be the case could feel quite hard done by I don t think you ll come straight back in the side of the league it will be like a side your money situation I think when you look at the fixture list in the next couple weeks it certainly into December there s an awful lot of games so either Milan or will be able to get utilised throughout the month of December so it s just a case of wait routine you re scored get the best team on the pitch for the right game and you can cope with that s his job that s he s a position Listen surely draw being up especially with his $1000000.00 down it would pick him players as opposed to not being able to have them continually says that he s going to put in a Against thing when this will so there s another heading for him but they ll make it all starts again doesn t it Southampton at home on Saturday for Liverpool then a trip to Spain to play severe with European qualification from the group in their hands now at Chelsea at home then back to back away games at Stoke on a Wednesday night and then a long trip to Brighton as well on that that Saturday Everton a course away at Crystal Palace this weekend as well like quarter past 6 We ll talk to Nigel Martyn The former Everton goalkeeper and also have a chat as well with Jason Dahl The former Southampton player about little pulls home.

Radio Merseyside snogs and dizzy and snow and Gary Gillespie in the studio tonight and were looking ahead to the goings at the weekend Everton away at Crystal Palace the venue of their last league away when way back in January Liverpool home to Southampton Liverpool looking to make it 5 wins in 6 this weekend interesting texting from Reem in wrong Korn says that he would like Brendan Rodgers to be the next efforts a manager says knows the Premier League knows our city managed a big club made Celtic produce a really decent performances in Europe and says we re not going to get all these big name managers from Europe Rodgers would want to prove himself again in the prem and definitely would want to put one. Over our neighbors every time and to prove that maybe that they were wrong to get rid of him in the 1st place if you d like to comment on trouble 3 Start a message with the word do a poll now do a poll to all of its own eons and let s see how that poll goes on Brendan Rodgers is here till 7 o clock tonight do you want Brendan Rodgers as manager in saying that somebody found out last night and said that they wouldn t go to Goodison Park again if some of us got the job so. Strong opinions evidence 1st came after the international break is a trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday at Crystal Palace of course bottom of the table they can buy a win over the dig at a home win against Chelsea didn t they of all people victory for the Blues could put them mid table Joining us now a man who played for both clubs former goalkeeper Nigel Martyn Nigel Good evening. Good evening. Yeah good thank you we ll talk about Palace in a moment Nigel but Everton 1st of all Marco silver the latest name to be linked with the managerial law how do you read that and the potential of silver coming. I think of you I mean we re all in the dark the people in the know well know. When they know exactly. We ll get to hear about it. And know the guessing games could. Think until they got somebody. Who we re not going to hear anything really now you know if the atoms to be still be in charge which I think it will be Crystal Palace and he gets a victory down there do you then look only in think can we give him 2 to January see where we are then before the transfer deadline you could do I mean this is not like Tom. Looking for jobs a moment so you have to. You know. Perhaps get somebody in work at the moment to come across an. Very difficult so that would make some sense you know if a Ponzi you know saying look is. Just turning the corner a little bit at the moment so you know with a good win last time out that will have given them some confidence and you know they go south to Crystal Palace team or also probably just start to turn the corner as well and you know I think if you could get a result there then you know as time goes by you might you might say January you know people have said to me as well they should Crystal Palace bottom of the league surely haven t much called Hey going to be a light I think they ve got a couple of usual players in there the crowd the atmosphere that they generate down there he s a fantastic So it s a no the no the difficult game for the blues yet will be tough like like you alluded to earlier they. Chelsea. And then you know that a great comeback last time out you know that we will have boosted confidence and they were lucky perhaps not to get something at the top as well so. You know it looks I really Hudsons got them a little bit more organized and you know they do have plays that are a threat you know it is going to be a tough afternoon but if you re one stays organized and you know stays together and you know hopefully somebody pops up with a brilliant night you re the bully $11.00 game because the policy when did you think there went wrong would you think it was just too much of a dramatic Caney change in style of play with the 4 monitor you wanted to stop as can a philosophy on the way that I want to play in the play was just an example or do you think it was so most on the not. I don t know if it was that they didn t accept it might have been possible they re not good enough to tell it you know it would be something that would take a lot longer to get used to playing that way if you ve been used to playing on the successive successive manages you know you know they ve had big family that island you know they ve had a succession of manages the flight in a certain way which is a little bit more direct and does rely on the wing is to create. Suddenly you go to trying to pass the ball out from the back and then you know players aren t used to necessarily doing it that way and and perhaps aren t quite good enough you know to break other teams down but not surely he must deserve longer than 4 games in the Premier League. Well. You d like to think I mean I m sure he would he would say you know given more time I m sure I could have things around but you know chairmen are a bit twitchy you know if things start off very very badly you know something obviously happens and you know the manager disappears and perhaps they could see. What he was trying to say wasn t going to work or would on the on the flipside take too long to work and you know by that time they would be relegated Nigel from the outside in where do you see Everton season going from here because there are others that say once you re in that bottom bit of the time it s very difficult to climb out of it are they going to perhaps rise to their more natural position if I can put it that way given their squad always are going to be a difficult season may have on. You look at that squad and it looks it looks really good to be honest I was quite pleased with some of the signings that came in and I thought you know obviously you know I would Wayne be able to perhaps you know. Fill in fill in big release goals and that was propose what they re missing the most he could occupy defense on his own really and so afraid the other plays up to do a little bit more but they re replacing his goals are really the only thing they have done. It will be difficult from now you know they are playing a big catch up. I think perhaps you know the top 6. Is perhaps beyond beyond the realms but I think I think that the squad is good enough that they will get up and get intimate table probably just about me by the end of the season and you saw right off as being well Ok we didn t get the Great start that we needed and you know we still finish where press we did Nigel 11 player that stood out our old assigning Zs a player that played in your position is young Jordan Pickford I think he was asking too much to do the season in my eyes but what he s got to do I think he s going to be a young great quality keeper. Yeah absolutely I mean he s very young and he s already you know already had. In the Premier League Sunderland and and you know that s great experience for me as well from what I ve seen very confident distribute the ball well will come up and make the old mistake when when you re younger you do do that but you know I think definitely a great signing for the future and he s going to get better and better and better and I think we re perhaps lucky to have him at the moment and you know we ve got to try and keep hold of him for as long as we can while you re out how do you look back on your time it had everything you came in 2003 you spent I think 23 years was at the club and and you kind of for that was Richard Wright didn t you when you were at events and I d like to answer the Shawnees the office because I did a lot of games commentary wise when knowledgeable plain and I know what the avatar on ins he was a 1st class goalkeeper for the club and I m sure he enjoyed his time he looked as though he enjoyed his time so on behalf of everybody I ve been why but he says he was top goalkeeper Nigel thanks for joining us tonight I think. I liked it I absolutely love my time you know I had a season on the bench and you know that was an idea 60 you know turning 37 and getting the chance. Was one I had to take and one I gave my all to really and a lot of the time you know you re lucky if you win over the responses. You know you re a lucky person so you know to be able to do that was just enough aggression that Villareal game which he played. Well wishing we had a different referee. Absolutely but apart from that I mean you know when. I was. Like I can remember gesturing to Diego fall and you know. Along the lines of you guys are really on to the call. Sure at the moment and. He said he agreed and I don t know about regrets is the home gang s the reason we got not going over there we gave a right performance and and perhaps deserve certainly to have got it to one and then who knows what would happen from there. Just finally David Moyes of course was the man who brought you to the club What do you make of him going to West Ham now and what sort of a job can he do that yeah he ll do you get them organized you ll get them sorted out you know this and this and good players at West Ham. And I think I think the difficulty for him is going to be to win the support is over because they ve got like a certain way of playing in and it s not necessarily the way David plays all these football so you know he s got to win them over and he will do that with results you know hopefully for him you know they turn the corner and start moving up the Sable as well finally then just how do you see the game going Sunday and come the blue down there and get all 3 points I think Candy s going to be very hard like you say I think I think palace really. They ve turned the corner from the start they ve had and look as though they re improving but you know a comeback victory does does a lot for morale as well so you know the boys we jump into the. Yeah I can see 3 goals being scored and. I don t know I think you know where you draw is probably what will happen are about. Well I m sure. Just need something because he s hard getting away from Crystal Palace now Junoon. Nightmare to get away from not really going in the players cards too big to run the. Story out there with the wrong place and it certainly is Nigel thanks for joining us to do that all the best cheers now thank you Guy think is the way to. School. Your good cheer from him Nigel Martin ever since player of the year actually 3 or 4 times you say solid go mate maybe in a different era could have won a lot more caps at international level without a doubt James he was yeah it was great of and he later on in his career to Kim and as he said you have to win these overtones over the spores and he certainly did that and he could talk by with his performance at Goodison is amazing when you look at but when the pope for there s no I mean these are dish on boys going East talking about playing 3637 I mean there were so many years ahead of them to get you know mom was that he said it is rather going to be so much they may get better as well they don t come into the prime a keeper to look at least 30 in my eyes because and are you looking for an already made his England debut made a couple of great saves He s 22 year old and what do you get a lot as well of this this shift by Gallas Southgate to bring in the youth at this stage I mean Dominic so I m keen to take even started a Premier League game for Liverpool if he could he might not but he could start from the inside is that he s not Ok all right why should you establish yourself 1st now why not play well we re playing Germany and Brazil 2 great nations or in football why not give these young kids a chance and see the start in World Cups. Under twenty s etc and stuff like that from a chance with nothing to lose one bothered about the results and I just give the kids a chance an opportunity to play against Brazil while just just watch it at the end of the game is fantastic so no reason give them a game let s go out and enjoy an express yourselves and let s see and then if they do well International and I m sure the plot managers will be watching tonight and think well economically you can handle international feel so why coming Premier League football Well that s the other argument isn t he because if he does do really well I mean Ben would burn cert to look at an example he scored for Wales and there was a clamor of of all let s play him now for Liverpool Well I think from our seems so far. Think he s ready. You know he s still got an awful lot learned to do but he s a big strong purple individual who says if he s got strong going quicker for me since the beginning of the season or since pre-season I don t see any problem by through and I m an up I ve said. Well I say with Liverpool that I would have a problem putting them in the other post on line up you know listen he s a good young player give them a chance given the opportunity think so Kate will do that with a number of youngsters as me and jam is of course another one if you ll forward line was as good as what is at Liverpool he would have started many of those I knew but it s just that Liverpool have got a great forward line. Good movement good players all the boys would have played a few games don t don t really quite a shrewd signing really getting Solanki given that you know he s been dog from London and Liverpool thought he was was well worth taking a punt on but he s definitely well from the gore. He s a predator in the box you look at his position and he s positional since he s one of these forwards thing will always be in the right sort of person the right team and as a center forward as a refute you have we ve got a lot of players that play I would say the Boks get involved in build up play I don t think so like you need necessarily to be that sort. Get em in the box really committed defense is good an ear is good and take situations I think he s got he s got a future you ve just taken that one step on him if if so lanky is good enough what about Dominic Calvert Lim Dominic Albert loom provings or already knows he s he knows he s got a lot more to offer in the next couple of years and he will keep improving and he is wrong we know that book what was it 12 months ago the boy 18 months ago it was that Chef United he s came into a big club like Everton I m sure he ll have been surprised the beginning but then into Chile go and train with the 1st team after so many turn sessions and think yeah I belong here I m as good as these boys and he ll of grown in confidence during training every session and now he s proven he s a point in games that he s been our best striker by far by Absolutely Miles as our start rooms and beyond is decent in the air that boy will improve immensely all the next couple of years as well and just touching on on the game tonight and also the international weekend by and large I mean it after Be honest personally international football doesn t really do it for me the same way the club football those maybe apart from a World Cup or European Championships is international football is it just going through a bit of a boring state at the moment or as club football reflects where I ll be recording the England Brazil game I ll be watching the Republic I think that s obviously more to offer because a song something about it the atmosphere will be great and we all want Republic to win and get to the World Cup final so I ll be watching here as your sport and work on a screen Jersey you know your sleuth ways will know the public must be the case yes absolutely yes here you go there are 4 and a slip in every So one. Thank you very much there s a reason why on the radio and on the telly Let s move on shall we 3. Let s talk now to somebody who s going to be who used to play I should say. Liverpool s opponents this weekend because Virgil van Dyke get situation playing at outfield on Saturday when Southampton play Liverpool been a tough start for Michio Pellegrino he led his side to just 3 wins in the Premier League so far this season the 13th in the table and joining us now a man who spent 16 years at Saints over 450 games Jason Dodd joins us hi Jason. Witten Ok guys just just before you start where do you stand on the Vandyke situation all Blaylock has is made has Point Lay quite clear you must say seen and had a lot to tame into ball players gets up before the actually go to evoke a good you actually stand on. Gun or the hop on of the back you know it was a little bit more discreet and obviously maybe working. In the media you might have heard about grades in a way but I mean the one thing I got like this guy or the play is going to go on Scott. And that I don t like that when I was trying to fix a contract I mean I m a firm believer help me understand the club comes in they clean the money and someone goes. But you re going to do it d or because it doesn t go through to every market then you start to stink up and that s when things in the south I m a healthy understand people moved on God s green things in that I want plays say it again. In the class players. This transfer goes well now it does happen but there have been some of the good jokes people who shouted class at the law of money when he came in being absolutely fantastic to not unlike my opinion he s one of sorts with the fans in the Premier League so we understand why the cuckoo won t come after him it s a great a point a little bit I mean something we haven t started is well it s. The only good thing about the game and. When we claim against the so-called big things we said we took 4 missing knives immense and that with things in the table on paper as a look at the 1st 11 games you think infidelity 20 points there are things in the bag. And we ve got some of the big always going to be one of the things in the toxic so now I support stones that were left on the middle ones come junk whether someone s agreed with. The season and we let you go in a little. Club so I understand what a big boy is a common language Mark come by folks but I m just not the. Second source that things don t go your way I m trying to pursue it because a move that I just says little. Suspect do you think this is still a chance Jason he could still make a move in January well these things happen for organically women out there Is it money not. Product for less that let this one go to whether there is some agreement . With the club to resolve the issue of in more or less saying I was going to play the club said look give a south facing it is a season and then you get your wish. Now I m assuming that that was in quite a bit of a single and looking for a placement The thing is an overly strong in the sense department unless at least someone like him must evolve to sell. Just to just on the front line as well when the lot gabardine a came in how thought he looked sharp enough so they had to go goalscoring that Shenlong you know he s not going to go bags and bags of gold but he s energies where he makes you uncomfortable for defenders he s probably just in the not scoring many goals. A lot of my mates not go to the games and a couple great if you re on a laudable excluding the other not yet regained 76 percent is to sell relevant if you re scoring goals. And play football and they play or any place we go but if you set one guy be it in 1st commend 67 goals scored 6 and go 7 got. Lost in the same bag 8910 go to Lou got a long term injury and then so long as a little bit when it comes to the one you love one or 2 then the ones left right and then in the side of the current Once again one score them again I don t really want. One my opinions are born in the box score the goals so that s what exactly d can you want and feeling lost in Shane on a run the channels for you and it works great obviously the space created play. On the ball and fans go but if you don t this is what leads to worry. especially d home and that we can t score goals and then get one of those in the criminally Lingus or go through the ranks. I mean quote well for me did reasonably well last season I think that 90 finished in the table you know the obviously to the final of the League Cup most the difference being under Pellegrini was he changed the style of play because you always late he was slaughtered when it was thought a possible been very defensive and negative as pelligrino just a la blitz a little bit below but more attack minded or as he just the same is as well if I m honest with you. Frank I said before ours come in come in for a lot of money they bought players in an ad we gotta save bring in these crazy things but like you said. The previous microgravity with hard numbers I mean. There are a lot of problems yes not the most charismatic problem. Interviews and things the things that were to be many night in the Cup Final is not about the. Pros and the complete with the basics. And I just felt a lot of it was people were among the fighting not charismatic and not in on them and he s not one. Regret the performances results he got were very good night this is what is going on the little bit of pressure and I think it with a little bit but like I said they can t score how. The younger thing I meant they re playing against the top sides and I m thinking more their best performances it got to take trains their style size and amps and face the things they live and I think it suits them opposition play we play nickel but it does worry me in a game on Saturday that really got the Gulf going to cause in the Baltimore coverage not so glad you said the don t score goals but you re playing live. So that s where you are the moment. We control or like the goals we conceded that well that s what I mean it. Is that I m complaining against a really minute pick because it opens up between the lines and like the Davis gets on that you re James will price deliberate but it is very skilful we have got it technical players but which is not seen enough in the final and like liver Bush supporter you ll be quite pleased about that because a lot of the things that Sam complained fundamentally doesn t cause him to many problems judge him where would you rather play football it s a marriage all the old devil question. Has been that. The atmosphere and his supporters would be $200.00 before we take it. It s just I mean can you have a difference we ve got to get him back to the club forward so we all and. But then again if they were forcing the finances that come into play we had to move in the 1000. Rooms revenues and money coming in well now it s a. Program 1000 projects. Because the vast amount of money coming in particle right I mean how it s very lucky that when I was very lucky money wise and I quit because that I m not a full member I wanted it ended up to the end and then start a new one it s America but to be crass American. I just I had not a lot they didn t like that my day when you got a little bit of eggs in this coat is being Klug wasn t relevant talk about the big move to move the revenue into progress on. Just finally Jason just wonder obviously it s not what Ronald Tumen of a devotee. Massively surprising. Yeah because in theory be going. Back to play it. Very well and I saw it work about what a lot of is going. On. Scratching your head one work. Because. Well money in a way. Great why it didn t work out there I know you ll both be quite happy with that but. You know our main. Interest in Jason. And you again so we can just. Former South I m some play of course 450 games at 16 years we just want to ask you kind of taken that on about Liverpool em right chan you can club was asked about him a couple of weeks ago he says No need to panic doesn t want to put pressure on the player all the club but come January Chan competently sign a pre-contract with somebody abroad Yeah I think it s always a problem when you go Pers commented into the contract Ideally you want to get them fixed up and sorted it s an interesting one isn t it. Would you be disappointed if you lost and just. Think he had something rather simple but I don t think he s the finished article just yet but I think you can see improvement from when he started playing you ve got to come in as well so there s another body into the middle of the park but so near the pitch where you do need of our bodies just the fight that you ve read in the state of the police the police with our players and the midfield the area I mean ideally you d want to keep them in the squad. As you just start to love and if everybody s for this moment same I m not 100 percent sure to post here . Bought and seen over the length of a season especially if you have or are involved in Champions League especially if you re involved in the games you have to have a strong squad you would simply out to be strong and what is it complicate these days I don t know what s like in your your your day if you had agents negotiating with the club on their behalf but these days the seem to be that many people involved in transfer negotiations it s not symbolised or is it that the player just goes like the club I don t think it and you see all these dillies of overlay the transfer windows will be joined you whether it be in the summer you know everybody thinks it s just a contact in a player or contact in any age and agreed a deal and then doing and going to St It s not quite as easy or your ticket consideration that maybe 2 agents involved maybe like another club involved obviously So I think it s a more complex kind of situation far more no than whatever was you know of the I mean. I would see probably the only be about a percentage of maybe 10 percent actually. That was know of no such thing a lot when I when I went to have the choice I have a little pool I didn t have an agent believe Bremner my old manager came with me and sports candy sports where I went mature the deal were all right and the money didn t even come into even you going to Times 2 of the best clubs in European football so money didn t come into it and it went until I d been evident a complete year and then I will renegotiate in. About 5 of the lads of the same age and. Kev Rockliffe all of the same age and they just said you re in the England squad you play in as well as anything so let him go in for you and just get the same money that we re on tour I went so got the same money as wall the lads were on the for the deserved and didn t want a penny more not any less just get on with it let me sign the deal and let me get playing you said early just trying to the subject that we would have a poll about whether Everton fans would welcome Brendan Rodgers as we had a suggestion in earlier I think the jury have spoken Ok. We ve had a text in from John and surely who says it s not sod rather have the 90 year old golden goal sell in the glottis just say I thank you Cole and was on the. B.b.c.

Thank you really cheers voices lads. So Liverpool in the lead 13 now over lowly You know I m just just given the way to school that s about it for this way let s just look at this weekend s games to finish off both Saturday 3 o clock Sunday which is quite refreshing actually mean big game for us. When people say 6.0 but it would in November. Have big game makes a big game for rooms and if he is in charge it s a big game for 7 football club we can pull a little gap away from the bottom 3 as well so I don t think it s a must win it s not you know no no we don t need to get the ports. Could be nice to go down that I guess and be interesting to see what effect that what for when Dad on the team 2 weeks on it goes he will it will be the atmosphere it will be will be art it will be a decent game played a good tempo we just got to match him and awfully. We come out and normally ground actually. Said the Everton when I was well isn t it a decent record is the loss that we think that it was your back In general yeah fingers crossed in the league and Gary Liverpool Southampton I mean we looked at these games to field West Ham south of the Chelsea game and I think we were coming off the back of the top of the game and we said the next 3 games huge I just about who you play you just got to get confidence back a little bit well I think the way the league is at this moment same I mean my city seem to be dominating a bit you know the lakes of thought in them and my United Liverpool stay on the heels of them trying to get into not top 4 high you want to not top floor and if you re going to have any aspirations of doing these are the games that you re going to get results you go you want to get so Sam I think everybody you look in this weekend will be the performance of Virgil van Dijk see how well he plays I hope please but probably catch the headlines but I think it has. Some what s the point of a lot of people but the good thing is everybody coming back for more on a continual back in his quarters will obviously any injuries to night school as a c 3 points against Southampton opposition on Woods and I think we re still good enough to finish and lot of good stuff of course here on the b.b.c. Radio measures are gentlemen good evening thanks for having us all it was stunning Walton he called in says he doesn t want silver he d be another need jerk appointment says Martinez was brought in because he won the f.a. Cup but people forgot wakin got relegated coom and another man who was brought in who hadn t won and I think and got Southampton to win some games Silvers won a few games for what for but let s see where they finish the end of the season and he d like to keep him you know Cole you know and international news.
Up it on the Korean and so I was quite ignorant of the Scottish game I ve been to almost. Coming up here on a realize and the d publicity that corrodes is the standard of play as well which always gets on their mind for some reason you know there s a lot of good young players coming through not at our club and other clubs as well you know and I think the atmosphere and you compare this to you know people say to me like woman you know it s equivalent league will increase or get too hot for the vast majority 300-4000 go to stadiums here 500-600-2000 extension 0 you know heads and hearts I think it s a great platform to play football you know really do not encourage any any young player in England any young boys coming from Northern Ireland and you come here come the skull because you will get an opportunity to play football here so for me you know I think it s a you know there s a Chremes a big opinion the game one I would take for he seriously because he s been there and done by my opinion I think the game is on the up here demanding could you get more the go talk exam things were things out of course I think everyone to see him for the mind was only one as well so credibly great I mean I go and speak as a find you know and I was everyone s 1st choice you know I wasn t overly no one so you know they ve been great for me that s easy when you re winning football matches I think well there has to be a sense of realism model of what we are what we count on the players we can attract you know that s going to be a constant where we do sell players we have to sell footballers and we have to spend a lot on the road to get the next one and to find the next Chris come then Alan Campbell to make sure our economies produce some players but it s not loved every minute of I m a big boy I can I can see you stand by you decisions you stand by your results you flushed taste of management at club level came here Motherwell 2015 with him bought a cliff talked about how that came about a stranger and really told me Johnson would be a big friend mine would have been very close to close the embark off I mean it come to the watch on the 20 one s I was in charge of Northern on the $21.00 at the time with Tommy and introduced me to him in you know bar a what s a lot of the sessions that we put on and I wasn t friendly about. Aren t the norm not well on it is for me out of the blue sea whether it be interested. In creating at the time we were away with or under 7 things called and really don t have a lot of choice when you re sitting with me a Believe me into it so but you know it s going to be a super move from any or all be forever any and bark of that for not normally but I put a lot of it s in bold white you feel it didn t work for you no more though I don t know maybe you know time is something that s not given in football much you know and signed a lot of players and it was you know it was something that needed time to work and when he didn t get that kind of sign Mark came in and got a run of results you know what s termed a football copyright so sometimes it s just the right place the bay and it works for you and sometimes it doesn t but no real specific reasons you re forced opportunity and you don t write. Them. A difficulty. To say the least Yeah that s 3 players want to take the job so I ve come off the back of the Europe s we ve got a quarter final it s not been a big part of that will make a you know you think it seems that we re looking at states but I want a crack at I want to go down League One club it was you know good reputation of a club or unfortunately it was a club and most of transition you know when I was assessing 23 players in 3 and a half weeks so to try and turn around when I left for a point or see if they so I m confident I mean given time out of turn up this round you know and but it was a tough job a tough tough job to talk to Motherwell assistant to Mark McGhee and within 2 weeks he s gone he s fired How did you feel awful I no contract at the time you know I d literally come back Marco put a call and see me off there I think was the operating give being sacked about a month from my idea was to play golf for 6 months. I ve already got a few things I was working on to do in the summer you know an overseas spend about time of the family but market said to me to come in come in to land the season just come and help us I know Mark me for a good to me you know he could have got rid of me when embark of got sacked and he didn t know Michael in a spokesman was well they give me a chance so I just felt it was it was the right thing to do to go and help bite but obviously we lost the think was the 1st game against on day and you know the board made a decision it was a very difficult place to be at the time so we knew it all for the job speaking about doing the right thing by somebody did you have to get the blessing if you like of Mark McGhee before you committed to taking the job yet even in a temporary basis you know. That I asked myself and Stephen Craigan at the time when we would be over say they I think it s come on a go away and I actually went spoke to Marcella can he said Look as long as he doesn t go and go into your past with and see where it takes you don t stay in there and I m sure for too long until they find something else you know if they want to give it you make sure they give it to you so you know Mark I always reach for for advice he s been there and you know still would as well obviously the light of see him back in football again as well it couldn t go much better for you in the league a League Cup Final I use. The price who will school ensue quickly. I think most of us always punching against the odds all the time you know financially and crowds so we were able to what I got here was a lot of time during the summer to sign the right players play a certain style that fit into the way we wanted to play you know the reality is if I could signs up and and yes that would be planned for them in favor of the puck in the ball of you know prevent Excel to get tense but we can t we don t have the budget to do that so you have to find a way to play that wins football much as you know we don t know we put a lot of crosses in the box score to every game bar one and I was able to same players that fitted in the way I wanted to play so surprised possibly it s maybe overachieved with with where we expected the baby with a group of boys have gotten overly know you ll be criticized by some for your style of play the physicality the tactics is up both of you the physical these fine you know it s a physical game I don t have any opinions and anybody else statement that unless it s in a positive light so surprising that people have that kind of opinion but what I do know is we win football matches score a lot of goals and we put little balls in the box and I don t think is too many fans and then they complain there s not any candidate What about some of the young talent you ve got here but because cotton and sports and studio representation from the club no under 21 label you stated but the talent as you yeah it was a big part of my remit you know what we tried to say 12 players in the summer and all all 12 of them we. You know we couldn t we couldn t compete with the people in this country dying in England you know even normally teams Penn mourner So we made a conscious decision we had to bring our young boys through the academy and Chris Condon And Allan Campbell I mean Chris is obviously been in for a wee while now as well and talk top professional a boy of really high hopes for Alan is probably the pitch I mean this football club you know if there s anything you can do to make yourself better he is what everybody should be looking at the young boys here a 1st in the gym in the morning. For the on the 20 one s the previous game on the watch and some 8 so delighted for you could not wish for 2 better boys spoke to a credit the football club the economy the community. Side of that he said with a t 2 kids so much respect you know real professional work harder than anybody else in the in the whole set up on a fall it s a real pride to take and offer both talked about growing up in Lisbon was. Actually we have actually grown Chromebook played for youth and went to school in the spring . We paid for a play for Mr Newton with a lot of players come through there to name a few Keith Gillespie the if our and use column Murdoch so we. Didn t call few more team in Johnson There s quite a few one stage was either of us in the northern school to come from one club Lisburn youth you know so it was for a wee small club as well so somebody Prado who was your football hero growing up Gary Shaw was a big Aston Villa fans. You know Gary Shaw was the main mana Aston Villa time they were European Cup winners at the time they were there but that supported them so just an automatic thing for me to do the same your 1st professional contract was at Tottenham Hotspur told his abode the move there how you feel leaving whole range of who the big stars of the club without that same it was coming back from the World Cup So Spurs were balls in the time you know and they re not the famous faith you know what they were Cesc Klinsmann Barmby come remember that was under and was it was our own that it was. Spurs that same work Terry Venables and manager are really going places a real buzz about the place and obviously they the same there and we want to buy them at the time was a most of most of us from a really did you find a struggle settling in. A brilliant thanks. A lot call Darren Grogan would create times for difficulty for family at 15 years of it was actually injured at the time when I left so you know a lot of the heart of them probably normal but no I lost support from a family that came back and forward on you know I think quite quickly and I actually ended up in the 1st team quite quickly after my injury so oh I loved every minute of it so from sports to Bournemouth and you know I get it spilled it and you won the League One championship was a successful team Yeah born with was a brilliant football Cup you know maybe stand there slightly longer than I should because I love that much you know with a group of boys who probably hadn t quite made it a Premiership clubs you know went on a couple of levels and we really bonded to some great players went from there sold a lot of players a nominal bring it Manager Mel mentioned So really good times for me on to Preston and Bristol City for the end of the prolonged spell that was that was a listen I want to talk about your international could be a unit percentage of country. I had addressed and career I m not saying I think was the simpler I was younger I guess what it was. I only had 7 for cops on their rights and 6 that for managers of Fife So I think they can make a mates and find out was that was where it was but the reality was probably my biggest disappointment I played a law football in the Championship then money s one cup the whole time to plan the championship so that was a tough one to take when there was lesser players in my opinion ahead of you know me the boys from there it s late but I was always the reasons money just pick things non in this position for for certain reasons but that was a big disappointment for me what s your memory then if your debut you seen your debut for Spurs you know that the final and I went for Northern Ireland it was away in Thailand it was my senior debut So again another strange one on the brown helmet and we went on a 3 game tour and I mean to have you there are 7 same style. So it was a strange one on the other 2 games got cancelled so it was and maybe the memories are probably shoot out of an international debut and you could be a big problem for Eugene. Feel that you parked in a cheap we should have achieved in the game played over 500 games you know people always talk about the back injury I 3 operations and numerous injections that I do every every chance at heart in terms international breaks you know I did this in Korea games and chairmanship. You know a lot of good players got a good move to Preston so then I saw why c.f. Are straight and I didn t maybe they probably could at all but you make your own Lucky make your own way I m happy with a career hard for limited labelling. You know Stephen Robinson there James talked as a boat his style of management is a man that you know well yeah he s very organized you know used to be in control and you can see exactly once that the players. As much responsibility or for them in terms of you know the dogs the new you know where the ball is going to go on a patch the. Organizations which says My part is a good coach. And you know is exactly what it wants and any part of that message on an employer s new ones and those he doesn t ask for too much in terms of. It gave them 3 or 4 options. For as he said the get the ball forward to get a boner box the same post and have done of us aware with the start start that season. Is a control freak and it s is what care thinks phenomenal you know is that he said it was don t make anyone or when if it was and it called management they would have pain it doesn t is there 247 he works really hard and not sure is in the steam you know the that he must certainly. Really Not message one in the patch and you can see for me having what course we played on them is where was assistant manager you can see that that s his team and I want some other yeah like he comes across time he comes across as no nonsense he makes no apologies for the style of play at Motherwell No it doesn t mean that it plays to the strengths of the players and really brings players on who can do the job in a certain system and I think he s brought in a lot of hungry players from England to move in the least to a few Dunstone they re different clubs I ve been in my 20 something to prove it brought him up here you know another opportunity in a big league going to Celtic going to Rangers and then a great job done Jason. He was talking but when he went to say new players it looked at the 2 on Facebook you looked at that i social media life just as well I never try saying you. Know it s I think a really nice. And he said that he but luckily she s well and I think obviously at least if I can bend over them and their conduct a mother will with number 2 Mark McGhee colorlessly it is and yeah he slips and he has jobs or done a great job but he said well we are on the way and he also has some great young talent now to Alan Campbell I m a Coast Guard and he had a few years ago he s a real talent yeah wasn t he when you marry the 2 young boys can board in a coal comes a couple of weeks ago and I relate his tenacity who are both people covered the ground well and I was speaking to Stephen Crane about Miss Weyland he was in was in a boy that sets apart he sets the standards for the kids and then the managers just touched upon as well where he says he s fast and he s in the general in the cell every opportunity and then when you look at the experience the boy was a big buy as well when you say Blackpool never even featured and they ve let him go he s come up and. Haven t seen the semifinal against Rangers they ve done a number on Rangers the physicality and the good will probably try and adopt the same model you know the 2 boys Bowman and more up top and they re trying to get out there trying to not put the thing mean try and upset Celtic for other things but I just feel it s a fair Celtics probably get more about them physically to cope with that demand they have as well but then just had a far better chance in the 1st often not game and over neuer thought a lot but I think just 2 chances that game mother would be as they keep going but has not done it wasn t a great performance from Foster off and then the physicality came and they came in just couldn t they were and I think you know that when you see the psychological state thing as well you talk about. Prior to the game and then on the touchline way and you ll see not that he s very for frame he s opinions he s very Can opinionated and not obviously go and up. As well yeah absolutely and that transfers one in there because he s the players his father has talked to but they want to see a leader they want to see a guy up front he s argument in just managing to go in and we believe that as well so there s a. There was the nickel com Other No an order always verified it it counted based on the Loves get involved but it looked amused. And just stood there and let casino do that it was and was trying to go in and get and. Not just on the part yeah absolutely that because it was just at their own house call it a technical whereas course to the edge of it as possible and Casino noise taffeta again volved he just cause I think I guess is but are we really done anything we don t need to have it really really in the long run at the federal not game thing or in just fines or believe it will I mean in terms of sale to as Alex said it s a different proposition but he said there. James that he send a very positive he s got to know ahead of the game he said if he can get a better Celtic in the final it will be the club s greatest ever achievement jiggery with up. Other nor I don t know I think will be a huge achievement and. Obviously the no one anything since 10081 and one a league before the No one a copy for the Israel but I am against a team as good as. I m not sure I don t know and I ll be a huge achievement nor do we give them any hope you know that the call will be it would be ideal for them because England prepare worth nor were they think they re going to one as only I was we believe we re going to win the war as I said to have them organized in May through responding to what s and change something absolutely walk or some sort of set piece routine absolutely hated trying to try because it is test themselves against the best minds and that s country by a male and you want to go ensure that he s as good as been in the north as that s again the guy as he wants to go to everybody I m a good coach I m a good manager my team is a good team and I m going to be the best in the country only trying to belittle to some players are trying to go to it too and play them you know in terms of football you know it s marshalling a lot of the trying bill and it on that in just a belittling there was a way that they were pleased that they were things for me as Rangers had nuance and to their physicality to to the way mother or boy that they want me. To Canada Yeah that was sort of saw that so many things when the struggle and the bring some there was on changes for the formation and they always find their way whether they do that on or they won t believe because I saw an interview a couple weeks ago I was quite blown away said that they believe the Festina league and you can go and compete you know yourself up where you are actually I think that was a minor you can compete and compete and compete your players tire and especially when you don t have the ball which they would have a lot of it s hard to go in chiefs and some some they ll switch off at some point and that s when so it will come on at all because they keep the ball in. That will cause it to show the measure of the job already in the studio this season some of the pundits been talking about another undefeated domestic season for sale so that issue is a challenge that any club faces right now is not the tremendous I mean that. Is insatiable you know you got the guy we cannot be what we won and keep going James going to you know that for to come in and I think it was in was it last game of the table last but the last 20 minutes it was our more you know the abutting wanted still to just keep going keep going keep going eventually on this waste of logic scored so what I think of the just get out of that mentality and they were not going to be of anybody and you know my and if it comes down you know borrow the money to continue playing football you know it s hard to find a way to beat him Tom The longer this goes on I mean but on the get the talking point several years ago you will not give them up momentum to take back I think it was 25 years ago so they managed to claw that back this is a some some one thing but obviously 60 or 63 games at the moment see the longer this goes on the players will be every week this is a we keep us going to keep this going and it s like you said Celtic have so much options and and this squad the depth and seemed genuinely surprised that our marquee just threw another one I don t know percent about young while it was Stephen Robinson there I asked him about asymptotically him soonest comments about your squash will needing a strong being just exactly exactly he said. The subject you know you want to go into I m going to get 10 man I think what he did say was he said he thinks it s in the great state right now and he said a lot of people don t so are too quick to knock the game up yet but partly the problem you have as most people don t so don t watch you know wheelbase is you know I mean can we watch in a weekly basis and the several clubs are actually flourishing at the moment I just my point and with Labor on us was at this continues for our Sec 70 years there s no challenge and so to continually want to buy 1015 points to fit one you re going to have a one horse race for governor of the. And I just think 20 sell a product you know t.v. Companies new deal they won t get the value if there was a strong challenge and I get it I think and oh it s a huge topic but we need a strong Windows is no it s not to say that because the the standard the rest of the league so poor that we need a strong range of us just because of the product we have to bring money and they re there they re leaking to the ship with the stupid though distribute it to the rest of the cobs So in order to do that has to be a challenge to the fast year everybody willing scene can so they call this the campaign on being next this year can they do it again the next year if they go again it s going to be there so he going to want to get in and probably one of the game will just watch off you know you need you need competition and every area will find will find the Cup Final can Motherwell go past I would be surprised if more won the Cup because the phone that we appoint the organization will go in the compere I think they may probably fall short I wouldn t be too surprised if they want to and not be something you know for the National League to look at and see what it can be when all they can be but nobody s come up with upon it is a thing as well I think at all but still to talk to the clubs to get the Celtics level knows not to drop you know of an opulent stone and they keep going to keep going and they bend in order to keep driving in forwards it s up to the teams to catch them or play 2 more build up to the Cup Final next week on sports so and it s time to focus on Scotland s Under 20 one s here and actually at McDiarmid Park tonight against the queen in the European Championship qualifier Scot game oh sorry calmly said thought and the table behind England and the Netherlands let s cross to McDiarmid Park and join our reporter Kenny Crawford thanks very much Kerry air the euro under 21 Championships and 2019 that s what they re trying to qualify it is there an s.l.a. . Creen for Scott game as man Scotland is a 3rd in the table for 7 points from 12. So far they have agree opening when against the Netherlands back in September they had lost 31 to England in meadows bra then 2 no way and October and then a few nights ago drew one each against the Heat in Paris before this 5th game of 10 and the group 4 of the Championship qualifiers the team news for tonight there are 2 changes Ross McCrory the Rangers defended his then for join city center by partner Scott McCann who captains a team tonight. Rangers Aberdeen sense about appearing that will be interesting to watch how they go on don t Thomas is also back into the starting 11 the come on forward for Scott Wright Aberdeen winger who started them straight in a so Scotland lining up like trying to fill tin of Hamilton and goals Liam Smith of hearts on one med and right back Ross McCrory and Scott McCann a sense about commodities connected left by Chris Caton and Alan Campbell we have Stephen Robinson talk highly of them they re both mainstays of the squad Chris Caton playing during the day and now in combo in the center of midfield the stadium island of Barnsley his struggling to get a look and in their Lismore constant Meaden as on the left on Satan and on Somas just playing slightly behind all of them at burning out front of him on it this one s a set a striker as I said Right it was a bit disappointing Scotland would have expected to take all 3 points against Ireland I spoke to Peter Grant in Scotland on the $21.00 assistant I just saw Sky these feeling a bit tonight so it s off game one of the toughest group oversleep you can a very good say watch the games against anyone want to talk to. One of the competition of the New York section really so you know it s a tough game they played very well the goal interest from abroad and all of Powell s So I told you know for sure listen if your health or good young players will do something because you go for a full on even though we didn t start particularly well but we look back at the game a little more please I m not sure we don t so get it to them to keep going to this and I think that s the one thing that s going to explain all the games and hopefully. And had that talent to take a chance he said because he doesn t even Rush McCrory And today in place of John sits a storm accordion McKenna center back to thank you slow and seamlessly Absolutely I mean it has been chomping at the bit to get a stop joint been doing ever so well for as the school has been it s unbelievable that it s a young center backs jumped at the back to try and get some of us a possession that people have complained about in the past and the feel of if you talk well to young kids you have failed to get through and those a challenge for us to get a piece marker going and unfortunately something so you start to carry all that you ve got in there you keep your possession in another guy s way fate to get in before it all starts that the season don t Thomas back in the starting line up as well what she has been early on in the campaign each side Scott in for a daily happier Thurman is just a case of Thomas tactical tonight yes definitely I mean we don t Thomas has been excellent for those you score as well you know you could I was unlucky not to school already Lanier started the game really well for the play and strange possession for him but we played until long only good scene 5 minutes often because we enjoy it so it s a difficult one for them to give anybody does your really well as you say it was tactical and we feel a Dom today and it is a picture of what overload a lot because of the call today have also been we can create opportunities for us to score 7 points from 12 at the moment after tonight out to the halfway point the campaign if you were to get 8 or 10 points or stay on 7 how would that fare with what your targets were for half a point target as were the boys as to make sure they don t concede a lot of goals and they should be trying to create opportunities for the creative players we have and make sure we re going to every Games 11 experience for them. To be what you want to forgive the play on so either going to win the game and that s we would be up to the boys possibly they have been focused so annoyed trying one gives and he said Look at all the you know them had a chance as we created opportunities because a higher level you go you have to if you don t you get punished and you see not going to have a goal scored one goal costars 2 points unfortunately but then that s a game that these boys know don t have 11 as they go along with playing one ball and people at a proletarian point for each of them are going to be all in the last thing we can play but psychology. 1st off a Latino was a disappointment for his or not his old not not a performance it was a disappointment to so very pleased with the performance in terms of your coaching career one of your former teams is waste time uns an f.a. Cup final with West Ham David Moyes as a manager they hope pleased we seem to get in there and make an effort to thank you having that club was a fantastic man and I think record people talk about Sunderland and munch as they did on Fortune which is forget the fantastic success he s had more press than ever for a long long and difficult circumstances and the vision of a workaholic going on now it s one thing that West and supporters always love to see people government all relate to be excited you know with the teams the way they play but really with this is that the mind is not just a muddy one in games it s how you won and David Moyes is no ship it is a very astute mind he knows the game very very well you know what types of teams need certain things in which is going to oversleep one supporters over who probably will be but but it s repetition of this moment I think you should be what they say they are when you read your problem and finally another man you ve worked with hello as Alex McLeish fella and arming them to name a couple and where do you want to see him end up in club football and to National Management where what you see for the. Species go to you know. A cafe No unbelievable visual and you get a game and some shape or form different Plastic Man money just you know clubs again there are people respect him as a passenger is a very talented man what people you know on us and is really talented coach understands the game we won the cup of season off to get promotions with bombing and we went to Holland of difficult circumstances handled the situation exceptionally well done exceptionally well with school and so I think that for Alex and Me Chumpy to go so good and how much us and coughing and what a special often I am and I think it s a mess people so I can look up and say why is Alan McLeish not walk in this game and he s a big loss to the game in the quantities and the better for everyone so that was Peter Grant there the Scotland under 21 assistant manager no flow to Scotland is playing and the background at the moment quite a few and I suspect it s or see her. Scotland under 20 one s a talented squad as Steve Clarke Ross is here Malcolm occur and I just spotted kick a can to Israel and I m just trying to rack my brains for English club he could potentially be working for me the meadows brought to speculating watching some stars here tonight Kenny interesting facts and much indeed Kenny call for their live from McDiarmid Park Good luck to our Under 20 one s these evening lots of people getting in touch we talked about Michael McCall can borders news a top of program he s the number one target for the Scotland job for the sci fi galley park and seeing his track record is brilliant with Northern Ireland so it s a normal in a for me give them a chance Steve Williams and says Aus McLeish would be a good show if Neil doesn t get the job he s outraise all speaking very highly All 3 jobs that Alex McLeish does we have Peter Grant do this seem the alan Ryan says Excellent interview with Stephen Robinson is interesting of the Scotland s top pick as Michael Neil and 4 other top Northern Irish managers in Scottish Premiership amazing and wonder how well no one on that are doing regarding managing people so you think yes if we go out he s a man get in there quick and I think the timing of all the really important would move relatively quite canny so that you can actually back him up on a corner so he doesn t have our options but I feel I feel the stuff that has had ones out there for him yet he s undoubtedly going to even mention it Klinsmann airlifted United States over so what you may call Neil linked with that job as well Tommy s give interest to a lot of people if we have think United States job as a phenomenal job for anybody there s so much talent now and it was a lot of McKillip players to pick from so I think he probably put a fellow that s going to be honest what about the players if he does get the job he does finds he takes on we can pay the compensation and it takes him he had to think he s got. The regular players are you excited but the players he will have to up if they saw an experimental Scotland save Malcolm a guy last week I think as I said it s the but I m beaten in 2000 something s which most often about on a form when a manager is going after him on impact everybody or their confidence is high or even have a qualify because there s a size I was and I think I ll be whoever comes on them the players are looking forward to what a noble hope for qualifying for the Euros Oh sure more on this story each morning that set for tonight my thanks to Tom managed to James McFadden and to Alex races sports science but tomorrow night is the usual try all of her past sex will be joined by the former Scotland Celtic player Shaun Maloney. 19905 f.m. 81 a medium wave and on digital radio b.b.c.

The community that we work in Lincoln I ve been you in the 5 percent most deprived area in Scotland we have a lot of asylum seekers refugees economic migrants live here the area has improved I think you can be a difficult place to live in times at night a lot of families are a bit worried and they re bit nervous about letting the children go in the a.t.o. But we re based right in the flats so it s really good for us all the kids if they live in the facts we have to do is come downstairs and really for them that s Heather my goal Crawford who s the coordinator like I m for those people who have come here as refugees it s important they get the chance to meet other children from a community and start to form friendships as Heather explained where the after school groups can really help a lot the children that we have can t speak any English so who come in because the see all the children playing at saïd so the interest of wonder over and we get them into pretty quickly the language of play is that he s not really space not spoken sometimes we have the 1st point if we even get to school issue to get when we get into the new skill no change in the in the class already things go on. Because of that that s why we re here for all C.D. s and how long have you lived in Scotland a one year 12 What s different about living in Scotland the nothing in Syria is this good is good here it is good better isn t. Yes have school buses not a good. Time during. Their environment and to do fun things. To do you just have to listen to the noise to see how much they enjoy it. And. When you are playing that what does it make you feel like. And. If you make. It. About some of the issues the families are facing So it s wonderful to. See the kids get the chance to. Do the thing but all children should be able to do the plea. There is that financial pressure on families and. Families are aware of free things to do for instance come into play this. Can be in the chance to do that because of. The food and. Tough decision you ve got to feed a child but you also want to provide for. This because if they help my mom lived life like this. Brother I. Talk to school. Kids because my brother like. It sounds like a. Place to me. At . All. To play football. Trip. This is friendly. Make you feel like when you re having fun. Really. And I like thing you have ever come here to show you need funding it has enabled us to provide so much more than previously we ve developed sessions from one after school to 4 and we re not as much. Because we ve got that funding safe and going from 6 children to 800 just been fantastic. $800.00 young people in the area are able to take part in activities that would be beyond their family s means because of the money. So let s go. To the children. Would you. Let me. Just.

Is in Madrid the Spanish prime minister refuses the Catalan offer of dialogue as long as that threat of declaring unilateral independence remains on the table the real fear here is that this constitutional crisis could spill over into violence on the streets of Catalonia not again with Spanish police but rather cattle and against cattle and those for and against independence the u.k.

The office of Spain s prime minister Aha I put out a statement on Wednesday evening that emphasized the distance between the 2 parties in a dispute that threatens to tear Spain a pot refactoring it to the president of the Catalonia region only by his last name . That said has demonstrated that not only is he a leader that goes against the law but that he s completely detached from reality it s embarrassing to push him all reminds the King about his constitutional obligations when we re here in the 1st place because Mr Push him or has forgotten all of it is the government that continued will not negotiate over anything illegal . Or. And in the last few minutes the sheriff of Clark County which is the county which is home to Las Vegas has been giving one of his regrettably frequent news updates on the shooting on Sunday night and we know we learn from him that the number of injuries has been revised down to 489 of whom 317 have been discharged but the number of deaths is confirmed 58 plus the gunman 7 Paddick Meanwhile the president has been praising emergency workers who risked their lives during Sunday s mass shooting he was in Las Vegas singling out several people by name including a police recruit on only a 2nd day in the job he s been visiting some of the survivors at the hospitals where they are being looked after and he spoke of his admiration for the stuff treating the wood it makes you very proud to be an American when you see the job that they ve done and people that would not be around today are up there and they ll be leaving the hospital in a week or 2 weeks or 5 weeks and in some cases even a few days it s amazing one of the few hours and you would never believe so I just want to congratulate everybody it s incredible credible what you. While the struggle to discover products motive goes on and in Los Angeles his girlfriend perhaps one time girlfriend Marilou Donnelly is now being interviewed by the f.b.i. From Las Vegas we re joined by our correspondent Gary O Donoghue Hello Guy. Hi Rod height and in a way the questions that we had last night are still the questions that we ve got tonight on. Yes I mean just just to recap briefly you mentioned the police presser was going on at the moment that is that that s absolutely right one of a couple of other little numbers from that they ve revised downwards the number of people who were injured 489. And 317 of those have been as you said been discharged that s only 170 people in hospital. And they re now going through some some details of paddocks life which they did describe just before I came on their speech years a sort of secretive life but the the more important thing I think is this initial statement from Mary Lou Danley through her lawyer in Los Angeles in which she says I shouldn t know anything about it she describes Paddick as a kind and caring quiet man and she doesn t knowledge that he did send her to the Philippines on the 25th of September. Claiming he d found a cheap air ticket so she could go see her family and then did $100000.00 she says in the statement I thought that was some sort of probably to hit him and I breaking up I thought he was giving me the money so we could buy a house or so me and my family could buy a house in the Philippines because he was getting rid of me which is you know an interest an interesting gloss on on what s what might have happened. What he doesn t do of course is shed any light on on what s been happening over the past year which is that Stephen Paddick has been buying guns he s been buying He bought 33 guns in the last 12 months she was living with him police will clearly want to know did you not even notice that he was buying all these guns acquiring all the time Unishe and whatever other devices he was acquiring I think from as a as an opening gambit It s one thing she expresses her sympathy for the victims but I think the f.b.i. Are not one of the yet. And I believe she has a sister in the Salia who s been speaking really quite tearfully about her. Yes the sister in Australia came out a few hours ago to say that. That she she believes that that Danley had nothing to do with the instant talk that she would have she would have alerted the thought the authorities she d known anything like that that she could initially get to confirm the story which the lawyer then came came along with about having. Patti having found a cheap air ticket for her to go to be to visit her family. And so yeah that s what you re hearing from from from the sisters and you ve heard similar things from the brothers here as well one of the brothers here particularly in Florida one of his brothers. So yeah so we re no nearer understanding why he did it but they do have access now to the to the person who is likely to know most if anything and of course he s worth saying that she wasn t under any obligation to return to the u.s. She s not the u.s. Is and she s. I think a national strain in the shuttle now although from the Philippines originally she could have stayed in the Philippines and and waited for extradition for example which could have taken the sos how long she did agree to with the f.b.i. To come back here to try to help with with the inquiry and I think obviously some people will see that as counting in her favor. And still of course we re hearing about victims and we were hearing about people who were saved by our people really have Roy clay putting their bodies and seems to been fairly common. He does the other the other extraordinary story we re hearing is about the hotel security guard in the moment I m just a couple 100 yards away from the Mandalay Bay as we speak now we can from from where we are we can see the 2 windows the broken windows so we re really very close and we re hearing about the security guard who was employed by the hotel he s a scamp of. He was the guy that went up there originally located the room located where the shooting was coming from and took a shot through the door from Paddick who had spotted him obviously on one of these cameras that he had positioned outside the room and in the spider hole of the door his camper got a got a bullet in the right thigh He s now actually been discharged from hospital but talking to that we were hearing from his union representative and he still got a bullet part of a bullet in his thigh and he s going to have to go back into hospital for surgery to have have that removed so he really did he really right on the front line with some police officers at the moment at the time when Patrick was still alive. And there was also I don t have you seen this but there s a a taxi driver a video of attacks that I was just driving up at the time and and you can so clearly hear the rattle of the bullets it s incredible yes. Right yeah I mean it s it s I mean the more you listen and watch the video back you know the more you understand why people initially thought it was firecrackers because gunshots don t conscious in real life don t sound like gunshots in the movies do they they sound much more sort of cracky in high pitched and they just don t sound like they do on the t.v. And you can understand why people mistook it but even once they knew what was going on there were people like that who were trying to do it as the story of an ex marine who. Commandeered a truck and was ferrying people to to the hospital he was one of the 1st people before some of the ambulances to get some of the wounded to the hospital went back with this truck that he basically nicked. Back into the into the fray and took more people back and forth they you know they think possibly upwards of 20 or 30 people he ferried back and forth you know going back into the danger zone to try and help it s extraordinary acts of bravery raising all these all these just ordinary people coming forward and doing extraordinary things and let s go to that news conference because here he is Sheriff Joseph Lombardo the sheriff of Croc County talking about the gunman more than 100 Besta gators there spent the last 72 hours combing through the life of 64 year old Steven Patrick to produce a profile or someone I would call disturbed in the us what we know is Steven Patrick is a man who spent decades acquiring weapons and ammo and living a secret life much of which would never be fully understood. He meticulously planned on the worst domestic attack United States history decades acquiring guns and ammunition. Yes I mean they found 47. And they ve also said that $33.00 was in the last year so I suppose over a period of time he d accrued you know a dozen or so guns and and that s not that s not uncommon I mean I was speaking to a colleague of mine who has a relative who has quite a lot of guns too you know not as many as that but but a couple of dozen several dozen but yeah but in the last year he s his gun buying activity Excel aerated hugely and of course the f.b.i. I want to know what Mary Donnelly noticed about that I mean that amount of stuff coming into the house is you know it s it s going to it s going to it s going to be noticed isn t it and they want to know how could you possibly know notice and what questions did you ask about that so lots lots still really to contemplate the I suppose the. The really disturbing off the really one of the disturbing possibilities he s here is that we may never find an actual motive or a concrete motive we may we may never know. He never doesn t seem to have left a kind of manifesto or a note or any indication in terms of his social media or anything like that that would have all emerged by now if we would know if any of that had been around. And I think that s a chilling prospect that we may never know why someone would do something quite on this scale. That that would that would be very difficult to come to terms with wouldn t it. Gary thanks very much. Kerio Donahue correspondent joining us from a well this was the speech that the prime minister hoped would rebuild trust in the Conservative Party and confidence in our leadership but it didn t exactly go to plan I had throat police set and an interloper brandishing a piece of $45.00 all provided on want to distractions and p. $45.00 American friends is not a gun the prime minister struggled on to deliver her version of a modern compassionate Britain and apologise for a general election campaign which had been too scripted too presidential There were announcements on energy prices and council houses and a promise to restore what she called the British dream where life gets better for the next generation what s the general election earlier this year. Is that 40 years later for too many people in our country that dream feels distant our party is ability to deliver it is in question and the British dream that has inspired generations of Britons feels increasingly out of reach. Was about halfway through the speech that the comedian Simon Bodkin made his way to the podium handing the prime minister a copy of a form which indicates that you have been bedridden the p. 45 after he was eventually ejected she struggled on with a sore throat that began to get better over. So. Why while we will never Scuse me. Oh dear and as if that wasn t enough part of the set the lettering spelling out the slogan building a country that works for everyone on the wall behind her began coming unstuck when the prime minister was able to speak there were policy announcements about housing energy bills we always take on monopolies and vested interests when they are holding people back. And one of the greatest examples in Britain today is the broken energy market because the energy market punish is no oil to be with higher prices and the most loyal customers the most loyal customers are often those with lower incomes the elderly people with low of qualifications and people who rent their homes those who for whatever reason are unable to find the time to shop around that s why next week this government will publish a draft bill to put a price cap on energy bills meeting our manifesto promise and bring an end to rip off energy prices once and for all. We re been reviewing the Prime Minister s d a cerebral us with political correspondent Eleanor Garnier and I asked her the important question who is Simon Bodkin anyway. So he s a comedian and he managed to get through the security there are concerns about what happened with that managed to get through the security and right up to to resume a During her speech so close to her that he not only interrupted her he was able to hand a fake p. 45 redundancy notice it is astonishing that he managed to get so close so that s why questions have been asked about security and what was going on with those who should have been checking people s passes and even giving people passes in the 1st place but that was only the 1st of a number of interruptions in this huge speech for to resume a Obviously we then had the coughing her voice going it became incredibly painful just on a human level to watch her struggling through the speech at some point you didn t think she was going to be able to make it to the end of the sentence let alone the end of the whole big speech and then the conference that the Conservative Party slogan literally fell apart behind her on the stage the letters of the slogan fulling office she continued to give her speech if you imagine your worst day ever at work times it by a 100 I don t know times that by a 1000 that is what Terry s and I went through. The place for her Isn t it was the applause at the end sympathy or was there a lot of a lot of sort of genuine applause in there as well I mean other so people in all who say she s the right person she should be our leader I think the feeling in the whole was one of overwhelming sympathy and of course when you are trying to be a strong leader trying to reassert your flirty sympathies and the sentiment that you are trying to get and win over there were multiple standing ovations and I think you did get a sense that the party was trying to will her on to get through it to get to the very end of course afterwards cabinet members were full of praise they lined up to say how she had done so brilliantly to get through it and how I said it was a demonstration of her best values her resilience her determination to keep going even to reason may have tried to make light of it all she tweeted a photograph later on of the Prime Minister s red box with her speech transcript by the side and then a whole range of Kaufman saw throat remedies so you ve got people behind her have allies saying look this is the best of her and that s why she should stay in the job but it is true that there are conversations within some in the party about this being perhaps the beginning of the end for to reason may well look before we get accused of not talking about policy what was in the speech by way of policy Yeah I think that s the problem for to reason may it s been difficult for her personally but politically difficult too because there were policy announcements that have been overshadowed by what happened 1st on energy there was an announcement of new draft legislation that will be introduced next week for a cap on energy tariffs on standard variable sort of gas and electricity tariffs she told the conference that the energy market was broken and those being punished by higher prices were the most. Loyal customers often the poorest the elderly the less well educated and there was also an announcement about housing more money to get new council homes built that money that would we think deliver around $25000.00 new homes over 5 years and there was also from to resume a an idea that she wanted to get Britain dreaming again to get generation after generation being able to improve on the generation before that so she was she did have ideas she did put them forward and I think members of her party were pleased that she was able to articulate her vision but we do know that those ideas that vision and some of those policies have been a shadowed. Now ask about Simon Bodkin work happens to him though and did he have any kind of a hard past I mean what was what did the actually have that gotten to the front of the hall apart from probably looking like a conference apparatchik you know a worried young me you know rushing up to the front with a piece of paper you write he did look like he could have been part of the conference audience in terms of what happens to him Now I m not entirely sure and I know that obviously the police are investigating and there are questions about the security arrangements questions of the party s chairman Patrick McLaughlin who will of course be responsible for the whole of the conference being put on and there are I spent time I wasn t at the Conservative Party conference but I ve been to many of them before the Labor and the Lib Dems the Green Party you name it and there is a big security presence at all party conferences you have to have your pass it s got your photograph on its checks you go in and out of the building somehow he managed to get through the screening process and he obviously managed to get not just through that but managed to get all the way to the front of to resume a speech during such a big speech because remember she was already under pressure the full conference and before this big speech she was facing you know difficulty trying to keep the attention on her and her message and not let her foreign secretary distract from all that So this really. Anything that you could have sort of expected to have gone wrong did go wrong and that s why it s been such a tragic day to watch from the outside. Elma Gunny a big rain Massachusetts s find love really is getting harder to find at least when you have to deal with the u.s. Food and Drug Administration the f.d.a. Sent a letter to the next show by brute bakery and Concord Massachusetts where the shots were fired in the War of Independence warning that it could no longer list love as one of the ingredients in its granola John Gates is the c.e.o. And co-founder of the bakery Hello John Hi How are you to say well I m well but would you rather surprised to get this kind of a lesson from the f.d.a. . It s it s interesting I m right on the one hand yes of course and on the other hand no so quick quick hopefully not too long the answer is that we have at least 5 federal agencies that include. OSHA which is safety and health department of revenue the Department of Labor the Internal Revenue Service and the Food and Drug Administration that all have jurisdiction over us and we have 5 more agencies that are there are state equivalents in Massachusetts and we also have the town of Concord which has regulatory oversight over our operations so we re used to a little bit of government involvement in business and what we re doing then Mr Trump come to office with a promise to reduce regulation to be seen at a reduced regulation certainly not in our industry but that s a good question and I think it s part of the reason why sitting here in actually Cambridge Massachusetts the moment speaking to you in the u.k. That this story takes on that kind of interest for people that seemingly. You know the light hearted well intentioned addition of the word love as an important ingredient in the way we make the very special bakery products that we make every day at the bakery that that would provoke a kind of cold d hearted government response sounds like something out of George Orwell honestly d and you know it strikes a chord with people you know why is the government in that business of telling us you know is there a public safety or a public health question by saying that we ve put love as an ingredient in our granola it s hard to imagine a person making the argument there there s d some important implication for public safety or public health and that the let s say in as many words you ve got say the law but. You know here s the thing we see all of those federal agencies the state agencies in the local town agency and I should have said this at 1st we see all of them as our allies and what we do if if we re actually protecting public health and public safety that s a good thing so the honest answer is we re going to comply with what they ve asked us to do we re going to at the same time respond in writing and ask that they reconsider the decision about listing love as an ingredient in our going all and one thing I can promise you for sure we may take it off the label but we won t take it out of the process quite a price I was thinking by the way about a possible labeling solution couldn t you just put a nice big pair of red lips on your label from now on you know something going to. You know I don t I ve never met you but is there any chance you would put on some lipstick and kiss a piece piece of paper and send it to me we might use yours for the. For the. Course I would mean it s I m just being silly of course but it s it s a great idea I have had a couple of people suggest today that we find a way to put love as an ingredient somewhere else on the way will besides in the actual. Well it can only say good luck and I m sure doesn t it hasn t done you any harm at all in terms of interest in the product and I would have a very well John if if I may just quickly tell you 1st of all I really appreciate both your voice and your sense of humor in the introduction and the questions you asked I just do want to say that what we really love to do is any of your listeners ever come to Concord Massachusetts please come visit us because we make long slow 11th hour the way spread the word 6000 years that s really the core of who we are. There you go John. Breaux bakery in Concord Massachusetts which is a great place to visit anyway and it s half past 1. Was pretty early for anyone this is b.b.c. 5 Live paragraph of the news a security review has been ordered by the conservatives after a comedian was able to interrupt to reason May s conference speech in Manchester someone broke in handed her a fake p 45 as a prank the girlfriend of Stephen paddock says she had no idea he was planning the massacre in Las Vegas merely delis described him as a car kind caring quiet man the shooting last Sunday left 58 people dead the leader of the Spanish region of Catalonia says the result of Sunday s independence referendum has to be a ploy and in a t.v.

Has now relaxed its travel advice which was put in place after 30 British holidaymakers were killed by gunmen on a beach in serious back in 2015 now it s a fall of nice with the. Hurricane can play even better for England as Captain That s according to former defender Martin Keown Cain will lead out the national side when they face Levine here at Wembley but manager Gareth Southgate says he hasn t decided who will take on the role permanently Keown says Kane s the right choice but Gar Southgate is a little short leaders he s a role model within the group already seems like an outstanding there s no doubt about his talent. And I think really we should give him the captaincy and give a show faith to the players noise early he needs to identify go Sarka the people he can rely upon and Kane is right up there England could seal a place at the World Cup finals with a win at Wembley you can hear cometary in 5 live Sport. Scotland could also move closer to qualification in front of unexpectedness sellout crowd if they beat Slovakia they could move above them into the group s playoff places has the manager Gordon struck in the game so wonderful play by instinct she just you know the game goes on to more take in a name that s for sure things will defend That s for sure that there s no weekend you can plan. No it was the only way to there s less pressure on Northern Ireland you ve already secured 2nd place in Group c. Ahead of facing world champions Germany the manager Michael O Neill says they ll be going for a famous result in Belfast and tension as you know we make it difficult for the Germans but you know that they ll come here and has trouble tell and they ve always had a difficult game when they come here they ve expect that and I think they expect that again obviously on Thursday night it s our mission is to make sure that we do that and make it as difficult as possible and you know a certain I believe that the players believe that they re capable of causing an upset Chelsea ladies will take a one no lead into the 2nd leg of their Champions League last 30 with buy in Munich a jury spent strike was enough to seal the win a king s men who want to proud Knights for manager Emma Hayes are resilient performance everything but by through us we expected we rode our luck at times but we took at Chance really well and that goes carried out the game plan because by the end they were very frustrated and very rattled Manchester City were 3 no winners against Austrian side San Polson but there was a defeat for Scottish champions Glasgow City Andrew Flintoff says England are still favorites for the winter s Ashes series whether they have Ben Stokes available or not Stokes is still under investigation for an alleged brawl outside a Bristol nightclub last month but Flintoff says England s talents runs throughout the site like yours have been winners by how many I really believe in Marseilles I look at it as this type of side that you want to be involved in from the course in the cups and down so I think in other words. Flintoff was speaking at the Professional Cricketers Association Awards where Nottingham says summit Patel won Players Player of the year the while scrum half Rhys Webb is leaving all sprays to join French side to long at the end of the current season and Tyson Fury says he won t be reapplying for a boxing license from the British Board of Control he hasn t fought since becoming heavyweight champion nearly 2 years ago b.b.c. 5 live up all night with. The government of Spain as rejected a call by the Catalan leader Carlos push him on for mediation after Sunday s chaotic and violent independence fought the office of the prime minister of Spain money on Iraq Haya said Madrid would not accept blackmail and there will be no talks until Mr Push abandons the illegal independence campaign while a 42 percent of eligible Kaplan s actually cast a ballot on Sunday while it s thought that most of those opposed to independence stayed home. So aside from the political implications prospect of independence for Catalonia has led to speculation about the economic impact on the region and the rest of Spain Catalonia did become a separate state what would that mean Sevi Rodriguez Mora is professor of economics at the University of Edinburgh and I asked Professor Mauro what independence for Catalonia would actually look like well it will be a country in the very in the long run eventually will be a contributor. To Carrow are something like that well much larger like a model like something I don t know but. It will have. A peculiarity . Must tell you that in countries. Which is that capital giggles we. Divided society is divided by House and what can be only called an ethnic divide between a Spanish speaking Catalonia speaking. And a divide it s not a geographical people that are as big is in the cities it s much more Spanish speaking in the countryside it s much more of a Catalan but in addition to a very divided divided difference it s very correlated with income the educated and the better of but clearly in. The us get along and they re less educated what of the I guess is just correlation but it s been a very significant very important correlation to. The letter located and wash of Spanish speaking and to support for independence is highly correlated with these factors this makes it this will make it a very different country that has most anywhere else in Europe and I fear. Subject of will to lots of instability particularly if identity politics because. They are now denying to life of political discussion as that interesting that we find you have Edinburgh is that any possible comparison between what s just happened and the referendum over Scottish independence of course it s. Deprived of nationalism is very different in a Scotland doesn t get along. It s got is not seen Alison s is not a nationalist look sound. Is not a religion is not an insulation of town called the rich. It s almost the opposite result as in recent Christian assumes that face I am as good as Jew But the biggest the worst the English the wildest the Catalan nationalism looks to the Spaniards with a sense of the your duty and feeling this very decisive guesting figures are essentially made from the from the cattle and why we say it is one from the riches. I am caricatured I think. To a large extent the Catalan speaking middle class as is it is the Spanish with the Kenyan way the another to get out of the town now is is Catalan nationalism and economic nationalism. Very sad drive in the sense that but and people have portrayed very much like that. But I think that that s misleading so it is the cabins are getting nationally they are convinced that they had better they had a much better society they had a much better many respects and as such the they had assured by themselves they will do much better because they are better that is a loss an axiomatic thing with nationalism nationalist your nationalism is the thing you have somehow that something is somehow. Different in very salient respect. Get along with them cause you said superiority thing and of course they think that they will do better if they re independent because it would be awesome and then we through that Catalonia is greater than the average of the staying. Should not be excited if we tell. The average of a Spain but Spain they did you see they did especially with the geographical dispersing I think I m in Spain is smaller than a county seat you d about the same size save you pay. And get only it s not like London the gate it s not much richer than the average is somehow different there it is poorer than say Marriott or the Basque country whose course so it s true that Catalonia pays says the amount of taxes to the rest of his pain in net. But yes because he s with us and this visa amount of money is not absurd thing in that respect is good you will respect again but again well to be given the income differences is not suprising any respect. To those that necessarily since has used this. As a driver for enforcing the feeling of we are better they all of us during a long time in the political scene they will say no to Translated from cattle and cattle and will be a spiny and job of spending is still being asked. But these guys more to provide and to inflate feelings and so at the same area the months of this are not that much good reasons have nothing to do with economics same bins of cattle and have lived was hit the main reasons not economics the medicines. Identity feelings is what we have what we have been suffering at or near for the last which happened many many years is super silly and. A spike of identity politics. And. The economy things is what is it to east with social class and whatnot that they have been paying for. Thing or should they take our money we will do that you see secondary to the feeling of I am better I am better and well so if if Catalonia where to go down this path and if Spain were somehow to come to a bargaining table and say well we ll take this you take that how would that vision go I mean what would the over the next the who don t like there are things that we can see that we can fear. But I mean with weights which way we can t really have more than fierce and think about possibilities but without clear models and without things to put our fingers of course our new circumstances we have never been on but in the negotiation process if things are good don t get carried very very well and that I find it very unlikely but because feelings have strong. The possibilities of the faster the ladder if you sink at the financial situation Spain has a lot of that. Catalonia has had very too mostly with the Spanish estate a very effective guessing about who s spending does that and is both defense month they re going to say you pay the taxes to meet the other $1.00 is going to say no you pay the taxes to being. The person in the middle of the day to whom they pay my taxes perhaps to none to have tumbled in some portfolio that s one of them because I m a fast primary deficit I live at the same time people s fears of these deaths are not going to be paid they re not going to be the markets are not going to be a light for them to put in you knew that big issue in which case we have a serious problem you cannot I physically by me very likely directors will tell you that the freedom of public employees or pension stratum of the plate and the possibilities from them on that are terrible and if you think about the banking system right now while we are talking there is a fear of people is moving assets but it will be from cattle amongst because. Inspire is banking system the 2 largest banks which are centered in Catalonia have noticed that as advancing stable 5 boys there for the 4th but but the. But the big game made most of their business in the rest of the spring now many people is taking away money from them partly because the other night and partly because they fear. Independent. Of our system you know if people take money to be repaid things. This is happening now and it is a serious concern people started saying that this is not good but we will solve this problem meaning that we still exist. So that s a possibility in the long run it s our English very subtle and I can say is distinct will happen or not it s. Hopefully not if the terrible situations they will. Call mine split. I think it is. Very complicated can happen. Faster savvy of Rodriguez Mora really shaking his head they can hear him shake his head can hear about the future of Catalonia and saying that the people who most support independence are the wealthy in the middle class who will die in the Spanish speaking working class and feel that they are somehow superior to them or that interesting take present Trump made a whistle stop visit to Puerto Rico on Tuesday before flying on to Las Vegas Mr Trump has faced criticism for what some say has been a slow response to the crisis by the federal government but addressing a briefing of the masses service chiefs on Tuesday in the capital of San Juan Mr Trump told them they d done a fantastic job and support a Rico had cost the United States a great deal of money now. For a recovery run our budget a little out of whack. Because we ve spent a lot of money on Puerto Rico and that s fine we saved a lot of lives just one of the interesting about Mr Trump how to make that side of the hoopla the reality of the tough parts or eco faces writ large in the problems with one of the key utilities electric power less than 10 percent of the island s 3400000 people have had their power put back and many will wait months from infalling tricity rebuilding a system right by a how to can aspire full as Maria would be testing enough but it will be that much harder for the chronically underfunded Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority which went bankrupt in July I spoke to Robin Rush spoke from writers who is in Puerto Rico I asked Robin if things are starting to get better so I think there are measurements of progress why this is the central part of the island yesterday and many of the roads that have to walk by landslides after the storm are now open there were still communities that are are under reachable by carpet but then e if we were driving on roads that would not have been possible after the storm and in the San Juan area is a better policy area I was able to get gas without waiting on you know by all the long gas lines today to go and so I think those things are progress however however as you say you ve got you ve reported on the fight tonight to percent of the island still has no power a tall even probably even more than that. Yes More than 90 percent and 90 percent the island doesn t have cell service I mean at there this is the one spot of me and I was that I could find that big myself by myself on sort of most of the time work but but it s a complete communication a vacuum out there which is a very weird the chair scenario and you know modern technology oriented society quite well tell us if you will about the troubles all the parts are eco power company because they ve been badly right so this is a very large public utility that s all it is run by the government and and for 10 to 15 years at least it basically has not been thinking in this and it s an old grid that was not maintained very inefficient grid the South their power plants the south that supply power to the north and the doors get power for the northwest part of the South and you know this storm went straight through this island and ripping up all sorts of power lines and towers and things like that it s not down on a very inefficient old grid and as the governor told us a few days ago the grid has completely collapsed it is if it s gone it s needs to be entirely rebuilt this isn t just a recall you know sort of a rebuilding of urgency rebuilding effort it is a from the ground up needs to be rebuilt. How much of the island obviously had good Alex has a tape before the storm. Power was I mean it the island had power but you know the wire walk outs or power outages were common and you know it was just considered sort of a body Caribbean. Outpost with with you know some power problems and be that I mean as as you know or as real as its main part of Rico is going through the largest municipal bankruptcy in u.s. History and the power authority with big part of that So who s going to pay for rebuilding everything well. That s a great question so Puerto Rico is then bankruptcy court right now it is just adds another layer of complication to the rebuilding effort so in addition to you know this is the state of Florida being the would be in there but as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and they would be helping to pay for. Damaged buildings and you know damaged roads open and getting the state up and running again in this case being what it is here but in terms of big money in terms of fixing the grid and getting this island back up and running so much there s going to be a tremendous amount of money but needs to be injected into the plate and the extra layer of complication is that there s a bankruptcy court lingering in the background and bondholders that are expecting to get paid at some point or are paid some percentage of you know some percentage of them cents on the dollar and so I forsee that there will be a big argument and how much bondholders of the bankruptcy court weighs in on some of that money. And can I ask you last of all about a public relations issue because the president was in Puerto Rico on Tuesday and he he met a lot of people he complimented people on the the work that they had done and he particularly said that perjury Co had been handled much Bassos on how to concoct Cina basing this on on the fact that I think he asked for how many people had been killed and in the Starman somebody said 17 and he said well there you are because over a 1000 died in Katrina in the New Orleans area in retrospect how has that gone. So offensive this is a complicated you know Pomus the effort from Puerto Rico s perspective the governor desperately needs federal support and not the territory he said a gray area there he doesn t want to alienate. President from Ben the federal agencies however you know 16 people are now killed by the storm last night the governor double that number to 34 people. But out a lot of people here believe that there s been many many other more deaths than in the last 2 weeks as a result of the complete lack of power and the lack of communication I you know I was in the center of the island yesterday where we were at a shelter for people on oxygen and the generator confound while we were there and the people that were with said this happens all the time all over the island and there s no way to call for help because no one cell phone works and there s no landlines that are working and and so we re seeing problems of patients with dialysis and patients and hospitals that are closing and people who are having accidents and can t call for help and there is this general feeling that there are many more people who have died in the last 2 weeks but it s hard to measure that because one there s no communication as to how do you claim was the sort of related deaths versus not. So it s a tricky situation Puerto Rican don t want to alienate half entrancing need the federal government s help but clearly this is a disaster here at the humanitarian crisis and and there s there s no way around that is that that s the situation on the ground and find out how about Crusoe of sun was it who who really engaged with the president on Twitter that week and. But who met him when he came to the island. Is she still seen as someone who is fundamentally angry at the way this is being handled i.e. You know if she took the other tax benefits the governor here is not taking where she just. Voice her opinion about how frustrated she is and and how much help is needed and I you know I think that. A lot of people feel that way I mean a lot of people also feel like we need the federal government s help down here they are working to to to help us is the let s just tickle nightmare to get a lot of people and a lot of equipment to remote Caribbean island and they understand that it s going to take longer than what they were where you can drive in equipment and think in people and things like that but I you know I think the mayor of San Juan offered the other end of the spectrum of how people feel compared to the governor with a signature who is taking a much more diplomatic approach and sort of a voice than the frustration of the real frustration of people here on the ground Robin respirable of writers and pressure eco well is trying to have dollars at the Boston Globe and The Globe today is all about POTUS all about the Red Sox the Boston Red Sox baseball team who are in the baseball playoffs for reasons that nobody actually understands Hello David. Hi Ron That s right the Red Sox are kicking off using its football metaphor they re kicking off the postseason play on Thursday against the Houston after Best Rosedale pick the best of 5 as they try to make it all the way to the World Series but nobody expected him to win in the way that they have won they were certainly predicted to do well this year they went out and paid some money for some new players and they have they had a high pay roll from the year before but some of those high priced players basically flamed out. David Price the well well compensated starting pitcher was injured got into a tussle with a local broadcaster and now instead of being a starting pitcher is on the in the bullpen which is kind of surprising another pitcher was injured their 3rd baseman baseman published son Deval. Had weight issues for going back to last year. Everybody thought he would had gotten his weight down but ended up flaming out as well. But instead other people have stepped up there s a terrific pitcher in him Chris Sale who will start Thursday night s game nice as a No 117 games this year which is quite quite good we have a very strong in the Sox to have a very strong bullpen so and some of the all the stalwarts like dust and Pajoy are around they have an extremely strong outfield of young young stars so it should be a quite a good series best of 50 Well good luck to the Red Cross that was the 2 minutes that we are on your way allowed to talk about baseball but him but let s hope for the best. You re also writing about it and of a very wide ranging attempt to repeal some Massachusetts laws criminal laws and make the penalties lighter for things like. Underage sex between minors between people who are who are very much the same age in fact. That s right they actually call their a Romeo and Juliet law. For people who are young people who are basically boyfriend and girlfriend but under age currently having sex with anyone under 16 is against the law. That laws that rule would be lowered a little bit d that probably is the most eye catching aspect of a pretty wide ranging criminal justice bill that s moving through the state legislature as the generally liberal legislature is moving away from these bad tour at minimum sentences that were so so popular over the last couple 3 decades they re lowering some of these offenses and they want to because they unduly target minority communities and don t rehabilitate people.

News. Well this is the ultimate crisis for America s crisis ridden diplomatic heart the State Department the secretary of state Rex Tillerson has had to arrange a hasty news conference to pledge to support for President Trump and dismissed reports that he ever considered stepping doubt Mr Tolson brushed aside the other pressing question of the moment as to whether he referred to the president as a moron on Sunday the president had tweeted that he told Mr Tillerson who has been in China talking about North Korea among other things that he s wasting his time trying to negotiate with North Korea s boss or little rocket man as he continues to call him Professor Daniel Cyrus professor at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington hello Fessor sour Hello hello well denials are always interesting for course to reports because people say the no smoke without fire. It does it does sound as if sector sit to listen is isn t a bit of a difficult position right. Most people think here he was. Taken to the woodshed and that to prostrate himself that s the interpretation that. At least most people in Washington seem to have adopted so here he is making everything right with the president was he forced to actually deny the things that he believes in because you know we ve heard him fairly forcefully and recent weeks defending the whole idea of negotiating with North Korea for example. We didn t really address what s Korea today I don t think and he failed to deny that he had called the president a moron and so I think what you saw was somebody who was just. Doing exactly what the president wanted him to do which is to call the president smart and to say how loyal he was and that he had never considered resigning but. But it was clearly a kind of forced act there was one thing that he said and that with the whole clip that we played from c.b.s. News when he said I m not from this place meaning I m not from Washington and subsectors I don t play Washington games but he is it true to say he s very isolated Yes I think from the point of view those who work in the State Department he s largely absent I don t think he s a strong presence in the White House either I think he is quite isolated in the president s. Denial that he would get anything from talking with the North Koreans isolated him further is is he effective has he been effective as a secretary of state. No I can t think of anything on which he s been particularly effective but I hasten to add that the work of the secretary of state is not work that produces instant results. I wouldn t say he could never be effective but he hasn t shown any particular talent for the job up until now. And we have heard stories about the State Department officer being on the understaffed but about his style of managing where he where he goes to small things rather than what some people expect him to do is that fair to him. I m not sure that is fair the. Issue of negotiating with the North Koreans is no small thing and he was clearly trying to open a channel in which that could be done I would call the State Department under staffed either what s missing in the State Department or the presidential appointees who haven t been nominated and very few have been nominated in even pure were confirmed in my view in some respects that s a good thing because the professionals are in charge but it means that the department whacks political direction and since Tillerson isn t relying much on the department that leads people really adrift. And. We do appreciate that we all need most to tell us and to carry on and the the walk at the moment with with not particularly. But do you see his days in the job as number 2 is is that is that the message we should be taking here are should we say it s all right he s he s done his pants he s going to be Ok. I wouldn t be surprised if his days are numbered but. People around Trump to last longer than you might expect and when you consider what happened with Attorney General Sessions weeks ago in which the president essentially that sessions. Announce. A policy towards young people who are undocumented in the United States and then turned around the made to deal with the Democrats to do exactly the opposite and and Jeff Sessions is still tourney general the despite this really quite extraordinary betrayal sandbagging we call it in Washington. In the case of Tillerson it s it s just very hard to tell he seems very committed to the job that part of his statement today seemed quite sincere. I just don t know whether he will go or not most people who less this administration have either left it instantaneously or d have left it on their own volition actually resigning rather than being fired the president has a strange attitude towards conflict with his support Nitze seems to tolerate much more of that than than somewhat faster sour thank you very much welcome Well let s continue the North Korea discussion because say President Thomas We can tweet suggesting that Mr Tillotson should save his energy when it comes to negotiating with North Korea begs the question of who indeed speaks for u.s. Foreign policy and whether those and to pensions by the president could damage whatever behind the scenes diplomacy is actually going on Joe I swear it is a senior fellow at u.s. Korea and Stitch. Johns Hopkins Hello Joel. Hi How are you doing good good good to be with us. When when listening to the president or at least one reading president s tweet about this what was the correct reaction should want to have been absolutely crestfallen or should one have said well he might say that anyway that s that s what we expect from the president these days. I think it s the latter reaction it s happened on so many different issues in Washington that people are sort of used to explain how the issue is of course whether the North Koreans are used d to it by now and I think we re at a point where there is a stream very confused but obviously they re just moving forward with what they feel they need to do in terms of their weapons development program what on the diplomatic front what do you believe to be the state of play at the moment. It s very difficult to tell but I would say that there d have been periodic Pontac between the d United States government and the North Koreans and released some of those contacts of happened through the North Korean mission at the United d Nations some of them have happened through face to face meetings with. U.s. Officials North Korean officials u.s. Officials and then some of them have happened through 3rd parties with the North Koreans whether d it s governments or. Private American citizens in the so-called track Well clearly we wish for all these contacts continue. In terms of of. The pace or reading the room when it comes to North Korean weapons development do you think there s been any any lessening in the impetus to do tests we seem to have a rash of tests and then here we are all we talked about a single North Korean test things are then changing Well of course you know I ve been doing this for a long time so I would never predict that things are d changing just because we haven t had a test in the past 2. It s impossible to tell the I would say a given everything that s happened that things aren t changed. You know these programs proceed and they test when they feel the need to attack and that it is a certain point they need to stop and absorb what they want from the trials and then continue so you know at this point I don t think we could say that something changes on the political front they may just be a pause because d to absorb what they learn from some of the previous tests. I mean a couple weeks ago we re all scarce Ouseley at the prospect of an atmospheric nuclear test. That s obviously an option that Kim Jong un retains. Yeah it certainly is and quite frankly I don t find it surprising that you know a lot of Washington think tank has conducted a sort of simulation of a confrontation with North Korea and often. North Koreans threaten to fire back kind of what what s called a warning shot. The United States becomes too aggressive so I don t find the threat surprising I would find it actually very surprising. Because even for the Koreans I think that s a little strange going to take that as an optimistic note to end the song thank you so much. Thank you thank you to us with the senior fellow at the u.s. Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University Well a Supreme Court of the United States has been hearing interesting argument from the state of Wisconsin in a case known as Gill there says Whitford such a dry title but at its heart go there says Whitford is focused on a voter redistricting plan created in 2011 which it is claimed redrew the electoral district maps in a way that religious Lee favored the Republican Party Tom Goldstein is an advocate who has argued cases before the Supreme Court and runs the influential blog Scotus stay in for being the initials of the Supreme Court of the United States Hello Tom . Hello it s such a pleasure such a venison to talk to you I noticed I think a bit of a an angry letter in The New York Times on Wednesday talking about the arguments before the court and one of the justices I think said well this is really far too complicated for me to understand because it s so statistical and then this angry letter said well we could have it explained to a class a 15 year olds and understand perfectly so could you explain to us in terms that that we will understand certainly So there are 2 things that the u.s. Supreme Court is considering the 1st is can these claims of partisan gerrymandering drawing district lines to favor one political party or another one can even sue over them at all under our Constitution can someone say this has to be invalidated and the 2nd is assuming you can bring such a law suit what s the rule What s the mathematical test for deciding how much is too much and and that mathematical test how does it how does it work. Well there are a bunch of them that have been proposed in this case to use something that they call the efficiency gap which is just basically you know how many Democratic voters are getting wasted so that what you do you might create a district that s 55 percent Republican on purpose and 45 percent Democratic knowing that the Democratic votes are just not going to have any effect on who gets elected so if you spread around the Democrats or if the Democrats do it to the Republicans you are being inefficient so that s one of the mathematical tests they re using right. And why isn t why aren t voting districts just drawn up on the basis of the census the way that. One fondly believes British constituency maps are drawn to well it is actually drawn on the basis of the census in the sense that they have to have the same population close to the same population but the question then is not just how many people are in it so they ll be the same number of people at each of Wisconsin s congressional districts or legislative districts but are you manipulating them so that the Republicans will win the most so you then get these very long and strains looking districts which are not geographic a tall that s right they re not compact what happens is this happens when in the United States to try and draw districts used to be to disadvantage minority d is like African-Americans about a future advantage them where you re trying to do is that the person who s designing the map is trying to pick the voters that they want in knowing what the voters will do so you re kind of predetermining the outcome of the election and what does a the the opponents of this Wisconsin move actually say about it I mean they say that they re suggesting that this is much more extreme than anything that s been done before is that right well I think it s on the extreme as have it you have a state that is roughly equal or maybe even leans a little bit democratic and 60 percent of the legislative districts are drawn to elect Republicans and you can do that if you just take a bunch of Democratic voters if you were to say for example pack them all into a district so there s a tier 90 percent Democratic Well then you ve just shoved a bunch of those voters into that district and it will vote Democratic but they ll be much easier to build out this tricks that favor Republicans elsewhere. The the court is going to have to draw a line isn t this going to have to say well. Really redistricting will occur this is I think what still boggles my mind coming from a British system that somehow managers in a in a in a county can can manage the thing so that. So that one party has a political advantage over another Yeah and that s been our rule for a long time the u.s. Supreme Court might strong ally and say here s what s too far or more likely is they ll say here are some ideas and now let the lower court struggle with it for 10 years or so probably So we should be looking for any any particular changes should we in the next election cycle Well you know we have election cycles quite often 2 years ago be a new congressional cycle every 2 years for example on state cycles happen quickly so if the Supreme Court recognizes the possibility of bringing one of these claims it ll take a while to litigate and throw out any district map so there won t be any dramatic change the composition of our state legislatures or our House of Representatives but it will start to go in that direction and maybe people be a little bit more balanced in drawing these districts. Well well thank you for the broad explanation but just in terms of the arguments on choose. The the newest justice Neil got such got a bit of a slap that and didn t he from a probably I don t know is he the oldest justice not Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Yeah so we do have Justice Ginsburg and 3 other more we would call liberal justices on our Supreme Court are very adamant that this is an incredibly destructive practice to our democracy whereas Justice course it is quite conservative and brand new to the court is a much much much more comfortable with just leading us to the legislative process we do have the unfortunate optics of the fact that the more conservative justices are more in favor of a practice that s favoring Republicans are conservative party and the more liberal justices are favoring striking it down which would benefit our democratic more liberal party. So you know there are some issues related to the courts of legitimacy and whether it s going to be perceived as political and I gather that at least according to a piece I read in The New Yorker just a scar such has been in the habit of late spring his colleagues about the Constitution. Well it s probably a little bit early to be so critical of him he s only been on the court for a very short period of time I think that you know there are there s one very critical article it s a little it s a little soon to make judgments about how he s going to be I would be quite surprised if he ended up doing something like that Ok Well tell us based on your observation of the the initial hearing and the the remarks made by the justices do you have any idea how this is going to go. I think it s really too close to call the key justice Justice Kennedy who s our most centrist justice d and will cast the deciding vote in this case almost certainly really didn t ask any questions on some of the central issues so I just don t think you can safely predict what s going to happen the most likely outcome you just would be very confident about it is that the court will allow these kinds of lawsuits to go forward but won t provide a lot of detail. Goldstein thanks very much indeed my pleasure thanks for having me . How fast to.

Ahead of facing world champions Germany the manager Michael O Neill says they ll be going for a famous result in Belfast and tension as you know we make it difficult for the Germans but you know that they ll come here and has trouble tell them they ve always had a difficult game when they come here they ve expect that and I think we expect that again obviously on Thursday night it s our mission is to make sure that we do that and they make it as difficult as possible and you know a certain I believe that the players believe that they re capable of causing an upset Chelsea ladies will take a one no lead into the 2nd leg of their Champions League last 32 side with by in Munich a jury spent strike was enough to seal the win a king s medal want to proud Knights for manager Emma Hayes a resilient performance everything that I threw us we expected we rode our luck at times but we took at Chance really well and that goes carried out the game plan because by the end they were very frustrated and very rattled Manchester City were 3 no winners against Austrian side San Polson but there was a defeat for Scottish champions Glasgow City Andrew Flintoff says England are still favorites for the winter s Ashes series whether they have Ben Stokes available or not Stokes is still under investigation for an alleged brawl outside a Bristol nightclub last month but Flintoff says England s talents runs throughout the site so if you re serving them when it s by how many I really believe in luck sides I look at it as this type of side that you want to be involved in from the course in the cups and down so I think another wins Flintoff was speaking at the Professional Cricketers Association Awards where Nottingham says summit Patel one player s player of the year the Wales scrum half Rhys Webb is leaving Ospreys to join French side too long at the end of the current season and Tyson Fury says he won t be reapplying for a boxing license from the British.

Night with rod shop Well I cough cough excuse me if you need to read any more about it it s all over the papers and even the Daily Telegraph has that headline luckless may center stage and tragic farce we move away from that though the Telegraph also reports on a big court case which has caught a lot of the other papers as well an Army sergeant alleged to have tried to kill his wife by damaging a gas valve at their home and then tampering with her parachute after he met another woman on tender all this given evidence court the I don t know the scarred it up a pardon however reports that Londoners all Londoners indeed are breathing toxic air power to Coles at levels above the global limit everyone in London is breathing air that exceeds global guidelines for one of the most toxic particles read all of that in the Guardian and The Day of mail says very soon people will be able to opt out or required to opt out if they don t want. To donate their organs in the event of the death however unlikely that may seem present moment let s talk about. Newsweek this today and Newsweek find Josh Lowe the European politics reporter for the magazine and the Web site focusing on events in Catalonia that was the independence referendum if you want to call it that last Sunday declared illegal by the Spanish government proposed by the cat s land government in favor of independence for this northeastern region of Spain there were remarkable pictures obviously floating around in the international media of Spanish police cracking down on trying to shut down polling stations trying to rip older voters out of there as polling stations beating people up all of that kind of thing since then things have only degenerated and we ve got this remarkable standoff between the Catalan government who insist that the pro independence vote happened on Sunday was legitimate and that this following Monday they re going to declare independence from Spain and the Spanish government who say that the very referendum is illegal the very concept of declaring independence from Spain is impossible under the Spanish constitution and both sides at this point not really making much headway towards each other the Catalan government has called for talks mediated by a sort of impartial European party the Spanish government has made some kind of overtures to that they said. Almost up to the minute shortly before we were doing this interview that perhaps they could think about talks but only if the Catalan government comes back to the Law So really you ve just got these 2 sides totally irreconcilable one side thinks that they are legitimate and pulling away from a country the other side thinks that the very possibility of pulling away from that country country is it s simply not legally on the cards and with your European hat on how are people in Brussels actually looking at this and looking or they can usefully do. They are looking at this with some sort of fear or an alarm that has to be said because if you re sitting in Brussels right now the simple legal position of the European Commission honest most governments around Europe is that the Spanish constitution which was decided of course by all the different regions of Spain including Catalonia as a way of pulling spade ounces the dictatorship of Franco. The fundamental indissolubility of the Spanish nation that s not unusual in Europe and the Britain of course we have things that different they were it were Union so we had a Scottish independence referendum there of course a separate country from a good happens to be in a guilty and with us in Spain in frumps in Italy in all these other countries the legal position is that these countries are whole their indissoluble you can t break away from them on the other hand the e.u. Obviously has an interest in protecting the fundamental rights of its citizens while publicly the u. Has not condemned the actions of the Spanish police. In cracking down quite heavy handedly on this the same time there is a when it s privately in Brussels that you know this doesn t Good to have Catherine citizens being sort of been drug out a public stations by police and so the question kind of has to be you know where exactly do you come down and they ve they ve tried to sort of dawn both sides into talks while maintaining their legal position as being on the side of the Spanish government to try to guide the Spanish government into going into talks with the council and but fundamentally they are still undecided on exactly how strongly they can go down on this and I think it was further along when the Spanish King just yesterday came out quite strongly and stridently against the Catalans something very unusual them to wade into the political fray so I think are really looking at this with trepidation as a political sources back and forth that can only really deepen from this point. Well Theresa May made a big speech if even if it was slightly interrupted but how did that look elsewhere where the things that for example Europeans would have picked up on. Well I think this was a moment to reason they had to tread a very careful knowing she how to galvanize the party she had to assess our authority as the kind of mastic consensus on the international stage she had to continue to present the sort of calm. Conciliatory front that she s pretty been presenting to the e.u. Since the election she s sort of Darl back on the tough rhetoric and tried to kind of come forward with a position where we can all find some common ground on wrecks in France beneficial she managed soundly not to do either not really trying to focus 33 of course outrageous kind of problems that arose with this speech that there was that Frank played by the comedian the Nelson. Part about the 45 on how to buy the comedian that was the fact that the signs started to fall off the wall behind her as she was speaking and there was a course there was a very unfortunate cough that she began to generate and the flush that were in town home a speech from Reuters news agency focused entirely on the cough lost all of the substance apart and I think that team are sort of a little bit worried that a chance that she had to really speak both to Britain to have policy and to gear up has been completely overshadowed by circumstances beyond her control but which in politics those sorts of things can actually not for quite a great deal. Dr Flores European politics editor of Newsweek well. Many scientific discussions particularly the European Planetary Science Congress they ve been talking very seriously about having communities on the moon the idea of a lunar village sounds pretty fascinating maybe a little alarming Ben Shah from the George robotics Center for Astrophysics has been telling me more in the last month after the European Planetary Science Congress which is. Basically a meeting. All of the planetary scientists pretty much in Europe go to one subgroup of our one particular section at this conference was a meeting of the international lunar exploration working group and their role is to compute intensive the feasibility sea life and the challenges of the human colonization of the moon and what they say is that all things being equal we could have a working group of men the 4 to 10 people that are open 2030 so that s just 12 years from now and they also project that 10 years later they re not in 24 c. The could be 200 people and even in 28 The could be a 1000 so it s growing by a factor of 10 every decade and they also say that in $28.00 we could potentially be having the 1st baby born on the moon so quite an ambitious thing to put it but it is eminently doable and that s the thing they were trying to highlight and how do how do they imagine people are going to sustain themselves on the moon while all of that from a systematic point of view all of the basics are already in place we know how to get people to the minimal we know a terrible of supporting people in hostile environments we ve got to come in and so we know how to regulate pressure we know how to regulate temperature we can build very complicated structures through 3 d. Printing now so it s century they re building dominance so in terms of the technologies we re already there. One of the problems with the moon now is that its orbital period it wants a month so the sun rises once a month which means your in the night for 2 months which means such the psychological to them is going to be quite a tricky thing to overcome because we don t actually know how people will cope with night long but more in terms of food and water. The nice thing about the moon is that if you go to the polls you re almost thermal there are areas of the polar regions of the main aromas permanently in sunlight and so that would be the best place to actually start if you like I m in a village because we ve got we know from from recent always in space craft in on them in the we have ice water right from the moon near the polar regions and so we can use those ice failed to actually provide us with water with and grow crops indoors and effectively build our own bio turns if you like from which we can we can live and breathe and be quite happy. Well quite happy perhaps it s an amazing thought that was entered that that this could all be taking place so very soon at least relatively speaking so soon but it would be a bit like the Antarctica basis wouldn t it that would be the closest parallel to it absolutely yeah we managed to keep people quite safe on a particle for you know 6 months to a year on atomic got observatories down on a patch we ve got weather systems you know people these places are permanently staffed with a pole but of course going to the moon is an entirely different kettle of fish you re a long way away from home and just knowing that will probably have a great deal of impact on your fight for logical wellbeing and of course if you re there you need the people you re with you need to be able to get on with a life or the very least tolerate each other. But on the other hand the you know the more physiological aspects on the body as well we know we ve got a pretty good idea of being in 0 gravity on the International Space Station that s quite a detrimental effect on your skeletal structure and your blood pressure but the gravity on the moon is only one 6th of the gravity on Earth and so we don t know what meaning lower gravity would be like as opposed to 0 gravity so there s all kinds of things that we don t really know yet. And that s a good reason to go I think the nice thing about the Mooney thing is nearby we can get there within a few days it s only a few light seconds away so we can have pretty much real time communications with our with our colonists on the moon and then level of an emergency with an evacuation has to go home very very quickly so the fact that we can do it is is I think a good reason why we should. And I hear a lot more eager for people who are apparently going to be working at Sky vests morning around about 6 o clock this very morning yeah Mars and Venus will be in the sky very close together more technically known as a conjunction which basically means that they have roughly the same coordinates on the sky they were separated by about a quarter of a degree so to put that in some kind of context the moon the full moon the width of the full moons is about half a degree so it s about half a full moon. They re right about 5 am in the east and they will be disciplined sunrise now although the quite close together on the sky or coffee quite massive distances apart from each other Venus is 140000000 miles away Mars is 240000000 miles away but they will appear in roughly the same line on the sky and then icing as well if you if you Pedialyte about 6 20 in the morning commute. Plus or minus maybe 4 or 5 minutes depending on where you are a spent rocket body will cling just to the south of being a Samantha says an old Chinese rocket booster is about 500 miles but it should be eminently visible if you if you re looking in the right place at the right time so if you re in a storm or when you are looking at the things in the sky on your way to work should be quite an interesting morning for you right. And who doesn t like look at the moon when it s bright. Absolutely so we ve got a homing coming up on October the 5th which which is tonight is if you re listening to this live it will be for like that me for 18 for the universe $140.00 if you re in British summer and I hope to moon say Ok All right pretty close to some sad now to me is a lovely as you say we are like Ohman But if you re if you re an amateur astronomer and you re interested in deep sky objects like galaxies and nebula the full moon is probably the pain of your life because the sickly washes out all of these nice and objects. Well tonight about action. You must you must go well really is it worth getting as a bed for to do it anyway or yeah absolutely but on October 9th there is a night of spectacle that s going to happen on October 9th which is this Monday the moon will be past photo in what we call it waning give us fairies and all that means is that it s of after the fall but still more than 60 percent illuminated it will rise in the constellation of Taurus half mine just to the east of the hirings cluster and this is a lovely cluster no concoction of young siblings. Gradually being dragged apart by the motions of the Kalak sea it s very very visible to the naked eye but if you ve got a pair of binoculars it s a great place to point them because you ll see the moon against the backdrop of a rich field a nice bright young stars it s worth seeing if you around. And we ve been making so much fuss about Saturn because of the satellite what about actually looking at Saturn to say well if you can follow in time you ll know that it s set in earlier and earlier every night and it s getting to the stage where it s only going to be above the horizon show in the day so that basically means it s no longer visible so now we re little lass chance you ve got the flattened before it sets below the horizon every night before the sun goes down until next May Right now when the sun goes down it s about 12 degrees above the horizon but as the months go on it s going to get closer and closer to the ground and you ll be gone by as a friend November. So the nice thing about sun at the moment as well is that it s tilted pretty much towards the which means the winds are nice and. Because Sun tilted we see the wind at different angles depending on where the Western are in the solar system but now is absolutely the best time to see them because the pointed straight toward them are the rings themselves actually a net of water I haven t dioxide I think a very very reflective and they contribute quite a large part of the brightness of the. Book all is not lost if you happen to not see it s going to come back in math 2018 its wings will be slightly less favorably oriented so now really is a chance or another have a lot if you haven t already. Shara Jodrell Bank Well let s join Bianca Gradina to see what she s been seeing in the science journals this week of Bianca Hello Rod How are you very well very well and our 1st topic evolves a groove in a particular sort of application a particular kind of grew I ve I ve heard it said that in battlefield medicine sometimes people will use super glue to glue a particularly bad cut together just to just to sort of keep them going. But surgeons took this pretty seriously. Well this is I mean this is a challenge is when you re trying to deal with the word and in particular when it s a word where there s a lot of fluid around or a lot of leaky potential for leaking so this is like major blood vessels in the lungs and things like that you want that to hold together and you want to hold get without leaking but you also want to glue that will flex and move and stretch and contract with the movement of fluid through whatever that that object is and I mean that the moment we rely on Staples will suit shoes which you know necessarily ideal because it may be involving damaging the tissue more sure and I think. We can all think why super glue is not a particularly great idea and in the long run well that s true it s not something you want to have sitting inside you for any period of time or even a short period of time but this is a development from some biomedical engineers in Australia or in the u.s. Senate s essentially it s a wound glue which is not a new idea but what s unusual about this is that it s made from a human protein called Tropo elastin and this is actually a precursor to elastic which is essentially the protein that gives ask you now to choose they are stretching it and so they ve developed this gel and the idea is that you use that the why you would use to chisel situ say you can use it to hold together the edges of the wound and it seals them but it s it also biodegrades over time it ll break down as the wind itself heals and as the the the vessel heals or whatever it is that you re operating on heals that glue will then break down naturally and I ve tested it in animals or in Lisa Faso we have to stress that this hasn t been tested in humans yet but because it s a human derived protein there is hope that it would would you know cause very well in a human system or we would cope with it so they ve tested it on blood vessels in rats and lungs in pigs and I found that it didn t there was no leakage with it which is what you want it means that it s actually flexing and stretching with the movement the. Those not just when we believe in the lungs but also we got that without being compromised I guess I was actually the next step is that we actually have a tested in humans and see how it goes right Well well that s obvious I sergeant would be very pleased if that that were to be available to them and we had that the a team of scientists has been down looking for submerged constant cold still on the air and it s quite fascinating ideas into the world as one little incident. We have a lost civilization and this isn t quite in the same vine but it is I knew early discovered 7th continent which is mostly submerged and it s called Zealand because pretty much the only part of it that s above water is in fact New Zealand and a lot of brain studies studies have been done of the continental crust and have showing that this mass it s about this continents about half the size of the string in continents and I think it s broke away from a stroller about 60 to 85000000 years ago and it separate from Antarctica even earlier than that so about 85 to 130000000 years ago but what this expedition what they re just trying to understand is well what s the history of this continent and even though it s now mostly submerged so that they went out and I did these. Drilling into the sea bed at more depths that are about 1250 to 4850 meters so very deep down and they they brought up all of these samples and they found thousands of fossils and what s interesting is these fossils were some of them were of marine organisms that are normally found in warm shallow waters and these were found that great depth so it suggests that at some point in time that part of the land it would have been much higher up I guess a much much shallower depth but I also found Paul in this fossil pollen and fossil Spore was from plants so it s suggest that at some time in the past this now submerged land mass of the land here was in fact above the waves and one of the ideas is that when the Pacific Ring of Fire forward which is a huge kind of ring of volcanic activity that goes down the East sorry west coast of the us and East Coast and I m getting my job if you re wrong as I have got a map in front of me great big ring around the Pacific but that formed around 40 to 50000000 years ago and the idea is that maybe the formation of that was what sank the land here beneath the why. Well it s nice to hear the dinosaurs didn t have it all or own way and to some small dinosaurs were rather afraid of a frog. Yes. I love this story mainly because of the name of the frog so it s a giant extinct frog and I called it Beelzebub which literally translates as the demon toad and I mean must mean intelligent have wonderful imaginations when it comes to naming dinosaurs because it s actually one that was found in Australia quite some time ago that was called the demon duck of doom So I think they have a bit of a thing about naming dinosaurs Daymond things but what s unusual with these frogs he s lived about 68000000 years ago in Madagascar and we re trying to the scientists have been trying to work out I guess a little bit about the mechanics of this for old how it moved how it ate how its body functioned So it was about 40 centimeters small white about 4 and a half kilos so that s a lot of frogs legs if you re going to see frogs legs but what they were looking specifically at was its bite force because it had such a big head they figured that it must be natural to to really clamp down on things and I know there are some modern Franks that modern targets that can you know take your finger off the knuckle if you are lucky enough to stick your finger in its mouth but what they looked at was a look at some of those modern descendants so these are those small Horned Frogs which I m not sure where they found that they are fairly common and I ve got a head with that around for a mate it is so these little frogs have I bought force of around 30 mutants so that s around 3 kilos so if you mention balancing a 3 liter container of washing milk on your finger that s a bot strength which is pretty ferocious but then when you look at I m not sure what went wrong but you also found today and I have a head written around 10 centimeters they have a bot force of around 500 Newtons or 50 liters of water which is not something you really want inflicted on your. It s a lot of strength was around your bag. Yes So drop outs are so there we can build strength was around $2200.00 Newtons So that s essentially equivalent to about 220 meters of water balancing on your finger so they think it would have been able to take out will take out small dinosaurs and has the same bite strength as. Frog bite strength as a tiger exactly it s not something you d want hanging in your back pocket so I not thank you very much. Now I.

G. s ill is back consul This Saturday I m chicken for fighting soldiers home and On am and f.m. Around the u.k. On digital and on live I m Rod shot up on. Sirius birdwatcher see their vacation in terms that would be quite familiar to the night s right table the word goes I had a rare species of been seen twitches off the binoculars tripods and very long lenses to see it for themselves almost every migratory flock is enough to excite some people but for the elite few there are the complete Landers rarities like the Liberian green boom the only example was collected in war torn Liberia in 1984 and the time it was declared new to science. Liberian green ghouls bubble has been popped by researchers who say it s only on and an artist I sat serene Green Book no difference a tall. Well I m terribly please don t know about you I m terribly pleased to welcome back Dr Karl hello Dr Karl how Dr Rod and I had a wonderful time on my what I ve realised is the Colonial investigation of the world told looking it to x. Colonial powers London and Paris and to countries that they had had as they called these Medigap ska and Zimbabwe Burma even more thrilled to have with me the fabulous Bill Nye the Science Guy from the United States so let me introduce you to build me draw drug me Bill over to you guys Rod It s Bill Barrow this is a rock star it s a life it s very very nice to meet you my goodness I have heard much about you so I had no idea that Dr Karl was going to smuggle un today and he ll tell you all about it and how it works but we are. Greatly delighted to have you with us too. I am delighted to be had. I don t know if I m going to give Dr Karl a glory just for one minute because I just want you to know that our listeners have noticed you ve been away and even some of them came to your talk and I do want you to talk about your talk of institution before we completely lose that particular bit of memory garden for example says My congratulations to Dr Carl for a coruscating performance at the Royal Institution last Sunday or last Saturday says garden and also I think Liz said that she had been to see you and she was very excited too so we ve got you know we already kind of getting the kind of congratulations and how did you enjoy it. Well he s always being about performance. The content has to be there but one thing I hadn t realized until a few years ago was that you go to have the segues and so without the segues the audience enjoyment is listen if you say oh we ve talked about this now I m going to stop and talk about this and I m going to stop and talk about that they enjoy him and is significantly less but if you start of talking sale introduction to me and then how I was in the front seat of a 71 and in fact I was flying to intoxicate in an airplane with the 4 made about 3 made a hole in the sot of that the Save your observatory and then morph from that into the Bermuda Triangle suddenly the audience is on this trip with their learning stuff they having fun and they just don t know where they are because you are taking them seamlessly from place to place and so in a lot of trouble is my wife and daughter to work on the segues and I was able to trick the audience into just coming with me for the ride and it was truly wonderful especially when a young gentleman about 7 years old and said. The call of been listening to you for quite a while I must prove your work up innocently for the last 4 years and you really do raise some interesting issues in the questions you deal with from the audience and most satisfactory Thank you sir this from a 7 year old but look are you going to tell you the most bizarre experience of my last Ok Are you ready for the most bizarre Yeah this is this is not somewhat bizarre this is the most this is it is a real twist in the tile so what happened was that in our travels we went from Zimbabwe met a gasket to South Africa and by the way in the hotel in South Africa that we went to which is 67.9 metres from the airport so it s perfectly safe in the hotel precinct they tell you lock the door don t open the door if somebody knocks on the door going downstairs and this is a fancy hotel and then they give you instructions this is in Johannesburg on the if he could. How to behave when you re being carjacked and the separate it take it to have when you re being robbed in the street and then funny they little note saying and if it should happen that you are in a situation where you have exchanged bodily fluids with somebody else be very careful about normally in the hotel introduction manuals I say well if the mini bothers how you turn the t.v. On they don t say don t get robbed and is what you do and don t get aids but a way so I have traveled to meet this guy and I m sure this is having to you Bill every now and then you meet somebody who is the most charming person you ve met for a long time do you talk to them they they re following your needs a they make you feel terrific they would see that charming This man had a blunder full blown bid look a bit like thaw Chris Hemsworth all that sort of stuff and he was charming he had his new daughter 2 years old and he was just saying how his life a Chinese and he realized that he should think differently about things because women he never realized just had to be twice as good just to even be accepted and it was just seeing all these inequalities in the world around him because of his daughter and he saying that he was looking at any report of the newspaper of a sexual assault on a woman would just jump and we saw as he s thinking they could be my daughter in 16 years and he was like this really in lots and charming witty guy his day job was selling really powerful weapons to 3rd world dictatorships in Africa and the Middle East. That s depressing Yeah but he had got enlargement with his daughter maybe later in the fullness of time to get a That s my story Ok and if I m a rotten but raising the standard of living of girls and women is the key to addressing climate change and along with that we want clean water and reliable renewably produce electricity for everybody so that the world will be more fair and healthier on the other hand we going down a pathway with the money is going from the port of the wealthy and the weak will the wealth of the bottom 3 and a half 1000000000 people on a plan. That the number of 1000000000 is needed to equal it has dropped from 345 in the 2010 to in March this year 88 humans mio white have as much wealth as the bottom half of the planet is vitamin Putin one of those people. And yet plays in that league Those are the venues for numbers doctor or do we get to know though it took a little I would politics to science Oh yes I still I never and for the sake of completeness we feel we should call you Dr Bill but what are you doing in a still yeah what are you doing in Sydney Well we started out at the International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide last week and this is where Australia announced it s going to have its own space agency the name of it is to be determined. Say asses guts and potential Anyway I hope they have a very good logo and at that meeting I presented about the Planetary Society solar sail mission spacecraft and this is the place where Ilan Musk suggested that we could all get around the world on rimu a belief fuel rocket and that was cool but then I went out to the outback here in Australia is really amazing area saw fossils that are 570000000 years old of multicellular sea creatures that are that are the size of your hand or the one of them s the size of a conventional floor mop and I then made my way to Melbourne and Sydney to do 2 shows I m going to do 2 stage shows in the in my fashion or I talk about their I set. Saving the world. It s a good thing to do you should do it more often Yes Yes No it s challenging I say that these rockets that Moscow is talking about are they like scramjets that when they go straight up and straight does straight up and straight down he made an argument that propulsive landing is the key what does that mean so you land on your tail like a Flash Gordon Buck Rogers kind of thing there are the spacecraft comes back into the atmosphere and goes straight down just like his the Falcon 9 boosters land on barges or on the cement pad Now let me just by they have they do most of this slowing down with atmospheric pressure and then they turn around and for the last bit they slow down with what have a rocket fuel a old fuel they have lift Yeah and my understanding is you plan for the fuel you have left you know just wing it well intended and scram stands for supersonic combustion re-action Yeah reaction. All right here airplanes. But I don t think it scram you guys it s just oxygen and methane methane. And you would make this fuel renewably from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and a huge amount of electricity which you would get from enormous solar panels that get their energy. During the day and store them in Tesla brand with e.m.i. And batteries and Mr Musk left the astronomical Congress and went to. To a facility in South Australia where that they ve installed the world s largest a ray or pack or assemblage of lithium ion batteries to store city scale energy gigawatt hours of energy. So that the wind turbines which are nearby run during the day solar panels on a lot of the roofs run during the day. The wind is in the morning and evening in and store that energy overnight that s the plan it s no use or are you a believer Bill do you think that s a well here s mean it s a cool idea that it s just that this guy and his vision is it motivates so many people is great I have no interest myself personally speaking for myself to settle on Mars I think that is through Everest promoting that idea just hasn t thought it through. Could be young man s game I would have done it you know it did have a family you know but going to Antarctica and living there for a season or even 2 years is quite difficult and I tell everybody if you think you want to live on Mars go to Antarctica there s no there s hardly any water you have to work very hard to find water there is nothing to eat that s for sure and the other thing that you would notice immediately there s nothing to breathe you can t use on Mars so this idea this romantic idea of living on Mars you live in a dome and all the domes are beautifully crafted the artist renderings are beautiful well lit greenhouses going on whatever it is some sort of cricket game happening at low gravity but if you go outside of your dome you re not outside you re in your own new small dome your own spacesuit so this romantic notion is just just think is left over from you were talking earlier about your colonial tour I think it s left over from Europeans going all over the world with with this remarkable technology namely told sailing ships and smallpox and taking over the place and I just don t think Mars is going to be that way with that said. If his or the company Space X. s ideas about building large scale rockets with renewable fuel comes in and comes to fruition that s cool that s exciting. And this begs the question that Pete the milkmen is actually asking and I suspect the answer be very much similar He says fantastic to hear you all tonight in this question is with all this talk of moon bases and missions to Mars and all within the next 60 years how long until we stop me can move to the next solar system and what would be the biggest challenges for such a feat he said wow thought system so the nearest one if there is one is 4 light years everybody is just a long long way really I mean I know it sounds like an adventure but the star shot group is proposing making a spacecraft which may be a flat plate like a postcard or a postage stamp rather or maybe a sphere. And beam hitting it with was it 5 gigawatts of what s a laser power for 3 minutes 3 times I would let me just emphasize I was at a gig was and somebody said hey that the guy writing this I said Look I ve got a full What laser said wow for what s what is that do and he put a secret into the beam and see where it went forth we are talking 4000000000 watts not for 40 or 404000000000 for us is it has been built yet and it s amazing but the numbers work out if we build on you and so then you d push this thing down office in Turkey or something Proxima Centauri with a camera on it I presume and then a few years later not a few decades you d get rather 4 years later you d get images back so while this is a charming idea you re putting the energy of a substantial fraction of the nuclear weapon exploded nuclear weapons exploded in World War 2 sending it to another star system I mean is that really I hope we ve thought this through hey we re here just about it would have fusion. There s a lot of people thinking now that we can do fusion with Al to having to go through the huge machines that required decades of planning but small things the saws the container on the back of a big lorry truck All right bring it on that s right with the sea and pump we have to get yes so we have a fusion reactor a huge one at a very safe distance and we exploit it all the time of the sun the sun is our source of fusion energy so I m all for fusion power on the earth but I want you to consider as an engineer I m an engineer I mean I m human but I m an engineer that sunlight is the most distributed form of energy you re going to find. But through traditional fossil fuels we have built power plants that are largely concentrated or places that make energy in a concentrated place and then we distributed octopus fashion but it may be better in the coming couple decades not a couple not the next few centuries the next 2030 years to exploit everybody s rooftop and wind turban on every ridge and then there s more than enough energy to run the whole place renewably right now if we just decided to do it and I tell everybody check out the solutions project the solutions project dot org or civil engineers that have done this analysis of renewable energy I digress a little fusion energy is hard yeah but a back to roofs or solar roofs for a minute do you believe that that s the way to address the the coming round the top need for electricity now that all the manufacturers are going for at least electrified cars you know and and hybrids at least so in the United States I drive a Chevy bolt with a b like Bravo not the Volt with a view like Victor. And I get over 400 kilometers. 230 miles is an electric car Yeah it s fantastic as a Chevy a Chevrolet a conventional car company car had big the battery how many killer. 87 yeah because my house makes 6 think you know what I was a day in winter and 30 full in summer and we need only kill it out and be handy to put into the car the excess Yeah so I live in Los Angeles and I get credit from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power if you ever saw the movie Chinatown that s that we re going to sessions to business the d.w.p. So I my house I have 4 kilowatts I don t have I would have more but my neighbor s house blocks the roof rot so I use about 7. Hours a day. Because they run the refrigerator and the heat pump but in the in the summer I make $2325.00 go out hours a day in the winter I come up a little short time but then with a broad question looking at it from a big point of view there are 15 or so major new bills and solar photoelectric is just one of them and there s the wind in this solar thermal and hydro and g. And if there were you know 15 renewable So we ve got waves or 2 could be exploited tides Yeah so the thing is this energy exists we just have to reconfigure the way we capture and distribute it and I met Rick small we one of the discoverers of Buckminster Fuller eans Here s my manager I met him I was on my best friend or any of the hollows is of carbon in the shape of an oil a sock a bowl with the guns in his on yes. We were the mathematician in law and I did everything he did everything. And he came up with to the op ha plus one equals 0 and he said he met Sally anyway and he said his dream was to take these spheres and pull them apart in a soupy described it of carbon atoms and then you create these nano tubes that everybody talks about and when we were talking there minute tubes are about 30 nanometers long now they re around 50 I believe technologists have gotten him to 50 but he s talking about 50 kilometers not 50 man a meters and his he talked about this it was very compelling he said that s although the electron enters the tube has a dream and wakes up at the other other end of the tube with no no actual resistance and when I interviewed him he was the way described he was pushing he would talk for a few minutes and then he d lean on his desk and take a break talk for a few minutes and he talked eloquently about the coming power needs of the world and terawatts he said be billions I mean trillions of what was and what hours and then he turned out he was dying of cancer and I just look back I m in review all the time the guy was really trying to. Advance the human condition and he really put his heart and soul into it is really a striking thing well with those coven that he was if the dream can be realized they d be almost strong enough to support their own weight with a geostationary satellite Let us wait to see clog voyage to Rama how much fun would that be you just take an elevator to space he discovered he would what he s having read the book well what this elevated to space might look like Ok 1st of all everybody we don t have the material to build us into the room probably yeah so you get a bucket of water and swing it over your head the water doesn t spill now make the rope that holding the bucket out of carbon nanotubes and make the bucket 36000 kilometers long Thank you both the way the meters or 36000 killed 24000 miles on it were 26000 miles to geostationary orbit and this thing was just a single So you re the orbit is so big how big is it you re over the same point on the Earth s surface continually 247365 and a quarter and by the way we do this all the time by we I mean humankind the communications satellites that we re using right now are many many most of them even are hovering over a single point on the earth s surface in the plane of the equator and we do it all the time we can control the rocket motors on these things with such perception that we can leave these things in orbit. For decades and use their commute there s electronic circuitry it s amazing so imagine this bucket of water on a $36.00 1000 d kilometer rope made of unobtainium carbon nanotubes and then we just take an elevator up to space and everybody goes there on vacation and communication is effortless and so this is a new way of getting to space so instead of getting a bunch of very brave people on the top of a metal cylinder full of explosives you simply get into an elevator but instead of taking 8 minutes to get to orbital height might take you 3 or 4 days to cover the 36000 kilometers Yeah yeah but what fun out of seeing all this reality why the way this city again I say There better be a seat in the elevator but oh yeah well that s well and you know you want to have your phone with you but when I go and I work in a question just before we get to the ways and it comes from bobbish who s actually on the phone with us from London hello Bob Yes. Hello Beverly s welcome. Thank you very much I mean Ok quite quick biasing I was trying to get an answer thank you just. Gentle question I mean the dictionary of astronomy you re sort of one and basically it s about stock that s became. Is a straw family and it s a binary consist of k. One John of magnitude $2.00 and a k. G 7 John magnet 3.5 now basically let s call. Us to diagram what is. Occasion like from. 2 sub Giants to k one sub Giants and so full. Spectrum begin and then please could you elucidate. This wonderful book by Devah d.i.v. I Sabella l. Who wrote the book of latitude and in the last book is called The Glass universe and she talks about the overwhelming numbers of female computers named the person rather than the machine who would look at the glass slaw eyes and then do all the real astronomy and so they were collecting these last laws and they still have them today a century later and they were trying to work out well what we got out there we got no idea of that ourselves coming big telescopes and so they thought well this is the brightest star is obviously these white star so we ll call that and and they will sort of work our way down to the red ones and then over the fullness So this is the Hava classification for that we complete your article is a bunch of different classifications and over the fullness of time they realize that there was stars that were hot in the 10000 to Greece of his temperature. And these are the in the be up to $30000.00 and so the there were very close occasions but the common one taught in university 2 undergrads runs. This be a fine girl kiss me right now. G. Be a fine girl and our son is a g. Stock and the hottest k. Is less hot on the surface kiss me and then he will you identify and then to end now the classifications are always changing because we re learning but that was the origin so I read the book by Davos of Bell the glass universe in the wikipedia article is also good entry point and congratulations on learning some astronomy talk about fish and I just said the thing to focus on is the main sequence this is this is where are you comparing the stars hotness with its mass and it s just a fantastic insight you know people talk about the big bang and we wonder there s 2 questions where did we all come from are we alone just think of the insights in the inference of the strong memories realizing that we are just nothing we are just a tiny planet in this vast cosmos and for me it starts on the Main Sequence have at it.

Harry Kane can play even better for England as Captain That s according to former defender Martin Keown Kane will lead out the national side when they face Levine here at Wembley but manager Gareth Southgate says he hasn t decided who will take on the role permanently Keown says Kane s the right choice but Gar South Shore leaders he s a role model within the group already seems like an outstanding there s no doubt about his talent. And I think really we should give him the captaincy and give a show of faith to the players nice and early he needs to identify go Sarka the people he can rely upon and Kane is right up there England could seal a place at the World Cup finals with a win at Wembley you can hear commentary in 5 Live Sports Scotland could also move closer to qualification in front of an expected near sellout crowd at Hampden. If they beat Slovakia they could move above them into the groups playoff places has the manager Gordon Strachan like him so wonderful play by instinct she just you know the game goes who are doing what I can limp much for sure but I will defend That s for sure that no we can plan. No it was the only way to go there s less pressure on Northern Ireland who ve already secured 2nd place in Group c. Ahead of facing world champions Germany the manager Michael O Neill says they ll be going for a famous result in Belfast and tension as you know we make it difficult for the Germans but then come here and has trouble tell them they ve always had a difficult game when they come here and they ve expect that and I think we expect that again obviously on Thursday night it s our mission is to make sure that we do that and make it as difficult as possible and you know certainly I believe that the players believe that they re capable of causing an upset Chelsea ladies will take a one no lead into the 2nd leg of their Champions League last 32 side with by in Munich a jury spent strikers enough to seal the win a king s medal want to proud Knights for manager Emma Hayes a resilient performance everything that they threw us we expected we rode our luck at times but we took at Chance really well and they goes carried out the game plan because by the end they were very frustrated and very rattled Manchester City were 3 no winners against Austrian side San Polson but there was a defeat for Scottish champions Glasgow City Andrew Flintoff says England are still favorites for the winter s Ashes series whether they have Ben Stokes available or not Stokes is still under investigation for an alleged brawl outside a Bristol nightclub last month but Flintoff says England s talents runs throughout the site so if you re serving them winners by how many I really believe in Marseilles I look at him as this type a side that you d want to be involved in from the course in the cups and down so I think another wins Flintoff was speaking at the Professional Cricketers Association Awards where Nottingham says summit Patel one.

We re very happy really thrilled actually to have daughtercard back with us and astonishingly delighted to have Bill Nye the Science Guy sitting in the chair right beside him so with the precious 25 odd minutes that we ve got. A kind of question for you about heavenly bodies Keith from London says Well Bill says we shouldn t settle Mars because it s called dry airless But what are his thoughts on whether we should try to Terra for Mars quickly taking drastic action to heat the planet and get running water and in time oxygen This would give us a backup home of humans don t survive on earth for various reasons Bass s risk total human extinction on earth but preserving Mars in its current state is a science lab perhaps with no one to ever see it question about safeguarding against existential risk versus ignoring that in pursuit of pure knowledge whatever the cost. So I d still don t think you want to terra form Mars I think it s an extraordinary difficult thing and we have this planet for which we are perfectly suited and we re having a heck of a lot of trouble taking care of it so I m open minded of course but going to another planet an exploding enough nuclear weapons on its north pole to melt the ice and make it grow jungles is just really out of this is not reasonable to me at all Furthermore if you want to change the course of human history if you want to do something cool go to Mars with the right instruments aboard a rover let s say and look for signs of life I hope this happens in my lifetime if we were to discover evidence of life let alone something still alive on Mars I m talking about microbes of Mars crows. It would change the course of human history it would change the way everybody feels about being a living thing in the cosmos if we were able to send a spacecraft the Europa clipper to Europa the moon of Jupiter with twice as much sea water as the Earth discovered by a woman by the way Margie kibbles and. It would change the way everybody feels about being alive here and this is a worthy use of our intellect and treasure this idea this this romantic notion that you leave Earth and go live on another beautiful Star Trek style hospitable world I think is just us it s just too far it s just too it s just not possible I m trying not to swear dark eyes are looking at me Chucky he has taken so I ve been a big fan of terror for weeks as I ve been reading it in the science fiction stories of the decades but gradually come around to your point of view and I think the best thing to do is that we don t tear from the planet but that we. Geo form ourselves says straight away the knee joint sucks a terrible joint very attached to mine and yours but it s like 2 Super Bowls stuck on top of each other with gaffa type of mace and then you ve got. The retina buried volved and all would go for and the brain think about your brain is have a little stick. Not very well protected I think we need it and we got 2 legs so it would say changes into a creature of our genetic engineering the can still be intelligent but can survive on a temperature range from modest $100.00 c. To plus 20 and a very low pressure and that would be a massive undertaking and then we could live on Mas without having to wear spices right and what do we metabolize carbon dioxide daughter only knows God only knows that we can disturb the system slot Lee without mucking up too much sex sample we were heading into an ice age and then we had done a bit of carbon dioxide increasing by about the 6 to 15 hundreds in the covered oxide level going up and then because we Europeans invaded North and South America and of the 50000000 people there we killed 50000000 over one century period and the carbon dioxide level went down by 7 points as all the cities were abandoned and in the forests came back to recover the cities and the agriculture so we don t want to disturb too much we ve disturbed too much what we ve done now a little bit of disturbance like I said all would say let s j a form is providing we can get to Mars in a decent time period of say 2 weeks not 9 months Musk vision is 3 months 3 months well that case you have a result chance of surviving the transition across because what we found out from astronauts cosmonauts. It s untie the notes in all but a year in all that is makes is a truly hostile environment microgravity is a truly hostile environment and all parts the body grow. Behave badly indeed like that and when we come back from orbit as astronauts they like boils begin I can t even stand up under their own white I met I met Mark Kelly Yeah the guy was up there for $340.00 plus he said it was 3 months before his legs felt normal He was at an event you know and he was talking before and they get osteoporosis at a right faster than a 90 year old oh yeah and mother yeah and when they get through all sorts of they know the risks of what they re doing and when they come back they build back most of the bun mess but the in Iraq show this and the samples are show that they build it back in the fission in a system that s not as robust as before so they don t have as much done mass and is weak and so they re more likely to breaking limbs for the rest of their laws and that s what the astronauts take on as a known risk. At the astronaut acall Congress there was a session after session about astronaut health very difficult problem but the other thing everybody we don t want the earth to get hit by an asteroid one of the arguments for going to Mars and trying to terra form and whatever the verb is is that the Earth could get hit with an asteroid and then we d all be wiped out like the ancient dinosaurs would be great if some fraction of us were living elsewhere let s just make it so the earth doesn t get hit by an asteroid the hardest thing is finding them then the next hardest thing is giving one of them a nudge if it s got our name on it so if you get a chance to support. Asteroid surveys as the space agency whatever country are living in because as we say it s like looking for charcoal briquettes in the dark. Woods are hard to find but they re worth finding Ok just a question without notice. To Halloweens ago rock a couple 100 meters in diameter Mr couple of times the distance between us and the men and. We had only 3 weeks warning He s a question if we d had 3 years warning and the whole is without it with the intensity that the United States when it the 2nd world war after Pearl Harbor if we had 3 years his Could we nudge something that big off a little bit by half a dime for the u.s. So it would just misses I don t think 3 years is enough if you like 23 years. By he says I m very I m very close to these guys these people who work on this but 13 years is achievable if we had the right spacecraft in instruments in play but sometimes we only get 3 years sometimes only 3 weeks when you go let s fix that let s build better telescopes better spacecraft to apply more fundamental research basic research at this problem so that we do not go the way of the age of dinosaurs really hit by a rock and disappeared Here s a question about such rocks this comes from Al and monks to come to Dublin he says many of the meteors Fido there are thought made of pure metal like nickel and iron are these farmed in space like comets are they farmed in the core of much larger bodies like planets which are then broken up by the collisions if they like comets and how do they get so pure. I think it s the other way around this is to say. Ancient stars exploded by as part of their natural process their life cycle and then these materials accreted they attracted each other gravitationally and so planets are made of the stuff of asteroids comets are made of the stuff of asteroids not the other way around but the details of how the metals come together preferentially over the other crustal style minerals earth crust style minerals is something that we work on scientists work on diligently but a charming thing a part of the discovery of the ancient dinosaurs demise was the element you re really I m number 77 the densest. Metal of there with Meridian and Cephalus it s up it s up there yeah it was something I was but anyway so it is speculators generally believe that when the earth was formed by the accretion of the by the gravitational attraction of this interstellar dust the heavy metals sank to the middle and the radium along with iron and nickel especially so then when this layer of radium was discovered near the earth s surface near the surface of the earth s crust people realized that must have come from outer space from the created asteroid but why the metals or the metal and the . Kondraty materials are the Kondrat materials is one of the great. Studies that we do that s why for example sending the mission to Pluto was of such value discovered 7 geologic regions on what was otherwise thought to be a ball of ice so amazing and with it that we had object that was discovered by Hubble the vast month in the asteroid belt between Earth a star between Mars and Jupiter a comet an asteroid opening each other and the Comet has a tile that s what is that we that is we are just whenever you re that close to the sun which is pretty far from the sun you get that you get the tail you get 2 tails usually the dust tail in the eye and tail the purser tile Yeah but we just got the another question. That you re going to ask me for what I think the larger audience really. Well like the question I ve got in mind I mean it s completely all a question Bill but that s probably said you know half way up the wall probably it s from read in alternate Hampshire he says is it true that sunspot activity is at or soon will be at its lowest level for hundreds if not thousands of years and if true did the last such low level activity immediately preceded the last ice age and could this be a remedy for global warming. No and no. I don t have an escape and so there s a cycle top of it cycle a cycle of the sun. Comes in goes the sun spins sun spins on its axis about once every 11 Earth years and there s a lot there s not many sunspots right now that there are fewer sunspots than a 1000 years ago I can t I can neither confirm nor deny that yes they can either confirm or deny the activity of the sun is not insignificant but it is not what is causing global climate change humans are causing global climate change by putting extra carbon dioxide and methane or me thing in the atmosphere and this before we you know I have I would in my doing I m reacting I m twitching climate change deniers just seem to just love the idea that the sun s activity is causing climate change if the sun just slows down a little it s sunspot activity everything will be fine here on earth no that s not what it is carbon dioxide everybody is right now over $400.00 parts per 1000000 the same number is point 04 percent way less than a 10th of a percent of the Earth s atmosphere but it makes the earth this little bit of carbon dioxide makes the earth about 30 degrees Celsius warmer than it would be otherwise 30 degrees is the difference between liquid lakes and frozen lakes so sun the sun activity is of great importance and we study it but it is not what s causing climate change and do not expect things to cool off here on Earth because of some long term effect that or cycle that the sun is going through I did I didn t digress there too much you know I don t think don t count on the sun to keep the earth cool. Let me yeah let s head let s ask you just as a sort of fun basic science question from fellow lorry driver and he says that s so very interesting experiment the other day involving polarized filters experiment like this a filter was placed on a flat surface the light source monitor nice and then a 2nd filters placed on top of the 1st one oriented in the same direction as the 2nd filters Aetate it right in from 0 to 90 degrees more and more light as blog site until no light passes through this is expected however when you place on another filter in between the 2 felt it was at an orientation of 45 degrees some light as a light to pass through Phil says this seems awfully bizarre to me Can you shed any light light getting out well I think this is what we call. You discover this circular polarizer polarized nature of light so there s more to it than just throwing tennis balls through a picket fence. You d expect that the tennis balls oriented with the slash with the openings in the slots to go through but you can cause light to the polarization to rotate this is a wonderful thing in optics and physics and you don t have to take my word for it you can do it and there s a fabulous word by reframe Jance the by refrigerant material we re all familiar with is tape this has this pull the circular polarizing phenomenon he is saying that the explanation laws in the field of circular polarization rather than just up down left right polarized Yeah in this case where there are 3 filters right yeah yeah Ok I ll have to read up on that when I have an I m fascinated I need to know more. Right well it s a very deep thinking caps right and we ll take another call now. With us on the line we have David who s calling us from Hampshire who David hello to everyone we welcome very happy Ok David. I m going to women puzzle my how my phone I ll be Ok Don t worry about it just talk that way restaurant. You know I read science will also be science fiction because you do get some real science in science fiction. As I m also left handed electron and old I was almost impossible task I have managed to read Stephen Hawking s a theory of everything so. Remembering is another thing altogether but what I m coming to is more or less said that there are more full universes packed together like ties of Piper and the comet so yes we re hearing it you act 2 like that s not the way a multiverse is of course you know. What I m thinking is anybody considered. Motive all universes of reality because we do consider the black dark matter exists although it s out of our plane of perception mathematically is proved to be there but we can t find it could it be but that is the material of the motive for universes so it s just out of our plane of perception but it s actually there all your hidden on the modern question in all of astrophysics or all of astronomy so when you say dark matter we can see what we see is the effect of its gravity. And this is to say we observe stars that are not moving the way you would expect them unless there were some other good source of gravity out in deep space and there s so much of this on scene gravest so many or so much of these the source of unseen gravity that we estimate that 94 percent of the universe we can t even see or detect but I once again I reflect on my grandfather who grew up without relativity it s but now we all rely on relativity for everything for our cell phones were mobile phones working so it s reasonable to me that in the next 30 years people discover things about dark matter that we can anticipate the idea as I understand it of multi verses is 1st of all it s very satisfying you know we re not we re not the only universe is not great we can just travel from page to page in the Great Book of universes of multi verses but the other thing is apparently there s nothing to exclude it right that s the main idea there s no way to show there isn t another universe but the idea that dark matter is a manifestation of a multi verse you may as I understand it have mixed 2 ideas but of course we ll see what happens in the coming decades as more and more people are becoming fascinated with this problem because once again observations made by astronomers. Humble us make us seem less and less significant yet we understand the universe more or universes more completely that is a great question sir thank you David thank you very much indeed. We were talking earlier about a kind of surgical glue which being developed at the moment from proteins that would flex with the wound and everybody s very excited by it although it hasn t really entered human trials yet and I happen to mention that super glue is used by people in extremis and here for example Gary in Swindon says I badly cut my thumb at work went taxed on the mat to say they fixed it went back to work only for a split again blood everywhere so I decided on a bit of d.i.y. Such a super glued the cut together paraffin carried on working no problem and they under says Super Glue is used in medical procedures inside and outside of the body I just wonder if you got any thoughts about the use of such a thing. In that situation so everybody I am of a certain age I lived through the Vietnam War and when I was mechanical engineering school we were told that Santo acro it glues super glue those were developed originally for suturing battlefield wounds that was original purpose written the people that use it like crazy I m not joking are undertakers people prepare corpses for burial so I m not surprised at all the super glue worked on your wound bring it on but you Dr Rod you started out by a new type of protein some some kind of like symbol in a womb that s Yes reasonable to me has things like gee isn t it yeah it seems like such a thing could easily be. Created and just if you ve ever handled superglue every body so and actually glues you don t get it on your fingers your fingers get stuck together it s perfect for sticking to your skin it s that s what it was way we were taught that was what it was originally made for 3040 years ago. And. Well he has to as here s a question from Jack who once had the late Patrick Moore Sir Patrick move great to step up he was our greatest t.v. Astronomer no question about that saying that global warming is occurring on Mas And Jack says possibly with you know questioning tone How do we know this and what s causing it well the greenhouse effect certainly is in play on Mars I don t think there s any Martians creating global climate change the way we have here on earth but what I always tell people and I ll tell you is much in the modern era climate change was discovered largely on Venus by comparing the climate of Venus with the climate of the earth with the climate of Mars and the guy who did this was James Hansen who was working at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies and guess which is part of national ice and Space Administration NASA guess is part of NASA he was looking at Venus he realized the extraordinary influence of the vin Nugent atmosphere being made almost entirely of carbon dioxide and realize that by increasing it here on earth we were causing climate change with that said the Martian atmosphere is almost entirely carbon dioxide also but instead of much much lower pressure point 7 percent of the atmospheric pressure of the earth and so although it s it s real and measurable it s not Mars is very very cold by human standards well below 0 Celsius so I m not sure you have global warming on Mars but you did absolutely do have the greenhouse effect on Mars Venus and the earth and I right think you just said launching a new film. Well it s not me although I have a role that they made a film about me called Bill Nye Science Guy I signed a contract I have no creative control over this movie and they followed me around for about 2 years and yes in the middle of the movie I want to blow my brains out because I look like. I don t know what I m doing. By the time the movies or word looks I work Ok but there s a documentary about me and my. Struggle in the United States against especially one climate change denier. Fabulous stuff the weather start to crawl it s such a nice treat to have you back welcome back those they love to talk with you of missed you in the audience over the last 4 weeks of it traipsing around half the planet and it s just gorgeous to get thank you everybody for your questions.

Good morning on Am and f.m. Around the u.k. On digital and online a mirage up and we re up all night and in this hour we ll have 2. 2 Spaniards a cattle on an imaginary. Talking about the crisis that Spain finds itself in and finding surprising levels of agreement we also hear about the new red pandas the 10 Brazil. And our poor suggestion that not really much has changed in terms of airline. Safety opera since the disappearance of flight m h 370 and we begin in a strange. With another terrible richest changed the way it s show in government Thanks facial recognition. It was an alleged plot to bomb and had flight from Sydney that has prompted the Assyrian government to boost its counterterrorism measures and they stand up and now says it wants to set up a mass facial recognition system and bring in new laws which would allow suspected terrorists to be held without charge for 14 days Filmer So joining us this morning from Sydney yes morning to rot morning well we ve heard about Apple s new wonderful is that kind of what we re talking about here it is the situation in Australia is that the federal government wants the states and territories this is New South Wales Western Australia no the Northern Territory that are all governed by individual governments. In jurisdictions now the federal government wants the states and territories to hand over driver s license photographs of a free single Australian who can drive now these images Raud would be fed into a surveillance system to help catch suspected terrorists and criminals cameras for example at airports and shopping centers and sporting venues would scan crowds for those suspects and provide real time bio metric data to the police and other agencies now the all forties here in Australia already have a database of passport photos and photographs from citizenship applications and the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says driver s licenses would be added to this existing program about half of the population have got a photograph in a federal government system of one kind or another we believe if we bring together driver s licenses then we can start to build up a national system that will enable us then more quickly to identify people particularly to be able to identify people that are suspected of or involved in terrorist activities and I can see the database side of it so but what about short technology because to do this you need very very sophisticated ways of telling one person from another and of voiding false I.D. s. Well that s right in false accusations and a big concern among the data community is about security how will this huge system be safe from hackers all sorts of concerns about personal information being sold to 3rd parties with nefarious intentions and also as you say people being wrongly suspected of crimes if they happen to be wrongly caught up because of the software in the system now David Vaile he s a cyber security experts at the University of New South Wales here in Sydney and he believes that this potential national facial recognition system is in great danger of being hacked by a midget identified unlike any other than if I can t be but you can say I m going to change my eyes open that s been circulated in every database used by criminals or socializing on the web or something like that so once it s hacked you potentially have you know a lifelong problem that you could have i.d. Theft or other sort of road d to be tried against you. Scary scary stuff and in a sense sounds a bit like Apple want to actually put all this information into a database at all but leave it in the individual for one. Well when you hear about Apple s concerns and also those many many many Yahoo accounts that were hacked a few years ago it does raise concerns about cyber security and also about privacy and civil liberties the Victorian State Premier is a man called Daniel Andrews and he s been attending this special security summits with the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in Canberra today and he was saying that notional considerations of civil liberties don t try don t trump the very real threat of terrorism in Australia today we think back to those days in late July when individuals were arrested and charged with plotting to bomb and he had flight coming out of Sydney as you made reference to earlier rants Australia s national terror threat level remains a probable This is in the middle of a 5 tiered system the very top you have extreme and at the bottom you have not expected so probable is right in the middle but the Australian political class is urging Australians to get behind these new measures in order to keep Australians safe in what the politicians say is a very dangerous environment but it sounds as if people s liberties are going to be curtailed in a pretty severe way doesn t it if if they re talking about increasing the number of days people can be held without charge Well what we ve heard in the last few minutes rod is those state and territory leaders meeting with the prime minister in Cambra have given their support for new laws to allow the all Thora t s to hold terrorism suspects without charge for 14 days this is part of a push by the federal government to have. Legislation regarding alleged terrorism offenses across all jurisdictions in Australia or Australia is a federal system and laws for all manner of things do vary from state to state from territory to territory so what the prime minister wants to do is to have a uniform approach to counter terrorism so he wants this new piece of legislation to allow the or far it is to hold those suspects for up to a fortnight without charge we ve been speaking to some lawyers and they do voice their concerns that holding someone without a formal charge for that length of time appears to be too long Australia also wants to making it make it an offense to possess water officials call instructional terrorist material and also interestingly the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said that he wanted to make it easier for the Australian military to targets and kill terrorists in the Middle East so this is a whole suite of counterterrorism measures that Australia wants to bring in that would affect not only domestic concerns but also issues overseas as well and is there any shyness to how quickly they could get the legislation together. Well the governing Liberal National Coalition has a way for thin majority in the lower house of parliament the House of Representatives the Upper House the Senate is a bit like the Wild West of politics there are minor parties there are independents the government doesn t have a majority there either but when it comes to matters of national security one would imagine that these measures would pass through if the government can convince the opposition and the smaller parties and the independents that there are the appropriate safeguards that cyber security and privacy concerns will be addressed and the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says they will be and he s confident these measures will eventually reach the statute book. Phil thank you very much well the government of Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy has rejected the call by the Catalan leader careless pushable for mediation over Catalonia demands or vote anywhere the weekend apparently for independence the office of the prime minister said that Madrid will not accept blackmail and that there will be no talks unless or until Mr Push him or abandons the illegal independence campaign calls that the Catalan president told the b.b.c. That he declare independence at the end of this week or the beginning of next well I ve been here a couple of perspectives on this but serious son is a Catalan who lives in Manchester and I ll bet my last Chris is from Madrid also currently living in Manchester and I began by asking bet too if he thinks that the rest of Spain is any closer to talking to the Catalans right now no unfortunately I think these declarations you know news it s lining up with the bands happening in the in the past months and it s been it s been disappointing disappointing to hear from the press it and that he will only attend to the law and basically close in line to a possible negotiation which in my opinion has been blocking and the scenario for for many weeks now you think that Primus Aroha is actually been in saying no to negotiation all along well that s my feeling I think obviously he has the right to to claim for law. Obviously there s a lot of controversy controversy about. Legal a scenario of these which I agree but on the other hand as a politic. As the former president I think politically he s fine. A different solution and that comes through dialogue and through negotiation of course yes now bar you or your cattle and you also have Manchester but but as you view this you must be still hoping for some kind of negotiated solution well it s the fact that the state s a school of cuts alone and it s never been put on the table for an open negotiation the cuts alone in government for several years have been trying to sit down with the Spanish government and come up with some sort of solution however the Spanish government s and willingness to even sit down on the table with the Haass build up to this current scenario and I fully agree with or without Burton This one unfortunately it doesn t seem likely DOT s. This dialogue is going to happen any time soon the hole is just sticking to the law and the Constitution and to me that s the only lack there standing on which is prepared or to be honest now the unstated motto of this program is things are never as simple as they seem and it would appear that really fewer than half of the Catalan people came out on Sunday to make their feelings known bar How do you do you think that the referendum as a fair reflection of the situation of people s real opinions. It s difficult to judge people s opinion on that referendum 1st of all it was illegal so regardless of the result it was not going to affect the start the status quo of cuts alone but saying that 2nd of all everyone were aware that there was going to be a very strong presence from the police therefore they feared for their physical integrity therefore they preferred to stay at home and in my opinion that s the message DOT s puts them on Catalonian president should half be portraying on the media rather than going out there and become our terrace in or the to vote on a fake illegal referendum to stay at home for your own safety rather than using cuts in audience population as a way to gain more international if you may attention it does seem that O Barr had to have played into his hands doesn t it because so many people are outraged at the way the police behaved I don t justify how heavy handed to be soft the police the Spanish police were nevertheless I think puts them on preferred to become the messiah of independent ism rather than give a more. Conservative. Rather than go out there recklessly and vote regarding of the potential regardless already of the potential consequences to your integrity. What what does this tell us about Spain in. Spain less. Less united than we thought I mean we know that General Franco pulled it together and kept it together by by use of fear sometimes we are we too. Quick to assume that Spain is like any other European country. Well that s that s a very interesting question and I think. Just describe the scenario from Catalonia I could speak a little bit about how I see it from Madrid which I m from and coming back again to the to the former president of our country and his political party I think Spain is going through a very hard reality and on the same way that but they had the pendent this have taken this fake referendum to kind of create of a smokescreen to the social reality of the region I think on the other hand this is not been an accidental We just table before about the closure to dialogue is is. Is an operation on purpose by the political government full of corruption to hide some of the problems creating a problem when where there is not such a big thing not such a unity because this has been part of their reality of our country for many many years and asked if all the crises all the social cuts and all the problems that the population you Spain are facing right now had to do with the territory when in fact it s to find another political zone. You an innocent. Are you are you saying this is really just diversionary there are a lot more things the Spaniards should be worried about than this well after the events and how everything happened on Sunday I think we re all really worried about this because these massive failure stake in peaceful resistance into violent intervention from the police and that is absolutely same for all and I think that together with the rest of the facts earth has mentioned should lead the press into resign and the country to a general election again yes if there is not a constitutional crisis in many people may think this is a constitutional crisis already but the prospect of some kind of army intervention. Is is there in the background there isn t it is is a tall realistic bar How do you think from a Catalan perspective to think about Spain actually. Cracking down on Catalonia and using some of those resources that are already in place it would be from where I m sitting reckless decision however after what happened on Sunday it shows that the Spanish government does not fear the use of force so if the police has intervened already it would not surprise me that they use an extra resource such as the army which again it would be a sloppy move because they are would just give more attention from the international media and that would put Mr puts them on who s also. Going through a very sloppy and reckless. Illegal referendum process that would put him even as a high a martyr which is what we should be avoiding in this situation really. Where we come up with all sorts of recommendations why there should be an election the president should resign and so on but if we look beyond that. We all obviously like to talk. Does that a European Union have a role here do you think there should be active mediation. By the e.u. . Well obviously after the sets a big failure and what has just described where it s I agree wouldn t surprise me I think that. Both parties have proven themselves to be useless in the way of tabling. A political difficulty and that that reflects reality in Catalonia that that shows that people are not are not happy with the way things are right now I think all the help. Would be welcome yes. And it and it s sort of final thoughts Barhai any any magical thinking that might get us out of this mess I m thinking about. A more conversational Hope wrote between both parties and certainly the mediation from the European Union would be extremely useful to avoid any further disturbance not only for the population but all the for her as well for the public workers that are trying to mediate in this conflict let s not forget that the authorities also been. Harmed by all this. Unnerving situation. That was. Serious I m who s a Catalan living in Manchester real so how do about to burlesque us from Madrid who s also living in Manchester right now. Iraq has stepped up as retaliation for the independence vote in the Kurdish autonomous region where the seas of financial controls no longer will Iraq sell dollars to regions leaving banks and the number of neighbors in other countries willing to recognize the referendum remains painfully small for the Kurdistan Regional Government as I ve been hearing from Laura wells it is that this point really again still only Israel the only country that came out in favor of the referendum and potential independence for the Kurdish regional government of northern Iraq those countries which strongly strongly advised. The k.-r. G. As we like to call it against this independence referendum. For especially the neighbors including Iran Turkey and obviously Iraq they re ratcheting up their rhetoric and they re also mobilizing. The Kurdish regional government said that they were going to use the referendums result to negotiate a peaceful secession of the Kurdish region with Baghdad but that something Iraq has. The Iraqi government has rejected out of hand they re now asking all international parties which purchased oil from them which is their main export to stop purchasing oil they have also stopped all international flights in and out of the 2 international airports in the Kurdish regional government they ve also taken control of the borders between the Kurdish regional government and Iraq and now we are seeing Turkey which had already started their military exercises near the main. Border gate between the Kurdish regional government Turkey now working also with Iran in fact the Turkish chief of staff who see a car is in Iran and met with his counterpart in Iran on Monday. The main topics at hand were reportedly both this referendum and Syria and President aired one will be paying a visit to Iran later this week so it seems that they are continuing to consolidate and work together to prevent any declaration of independence in addition Iran and Iraq will be launching their own military exercises on the care Jia rainy in border and all of these countries are also threatening sanctions and the Kurdish regional government in no way can support itself with food for instance so if they were to carry out this threat that would really really put the car s regional government in the associated province of Kapooka great crisis. If you. Have a car to sham way and you re living in Turkey what must be a fairly difficult. Well that s that s something that a lot of Kurds have said for decades now this is not something new but certainly the suspicion of Kurds in Turkey especially by the government by their supporters by ultranationalist even the center left main opposition party they are very much all against this referendum they ve been very vocal about it and for any Kurds in the country to say that they are for this referendum or independence is quite dangerous in fact the minority opposition party the h.g.t. Which is the pro Kurdish party and both of its co-heads are in prison currently they are boycotting the opening of the Turkish parliament and President Carter once said That s because they belong in the candle mountains which actually is the p.k. K. The Kurdish separatist group fighting the Turkish Army currently in a very very bloody ongoing battle is located in the Kurdish regional government their headquarters the candle mountains are there and the Kurdish regional government in the h.t.t.p. Did say that they were happy for their Kurdish counterparts in the k.r. G. Laura Welch in Istanbul and it s just coming up to half past 4. Was pretty easy for me to show you this is b.b.c. 5 Live and then you have McGrath Conservative M.P. s have been railing round series a man for a conference speech that s or interrupted by a comedian battling a persistent cough but it s thought some Tories are discussing the possibility of persuading her to step aside the girlfriend of Stephen Paddick says she had no idea who was planning the massacre in Las Vegas Mary Lou delis described him as a kind caring quiet man last Sunday shooting left 58 people dead Spain s government has rejected an offer to go into talks from the Catalan president the country s deputy prime ministers says discussions will only start when a threat to unilaterally declare independence is withdrawn and the government s expected to give more details today about a cap on energy prices the prime minister says limiting the standard tariff would save an extra $12000000.00 consumers an average of 100 pounds a year that is a far larger use with the sport now chilling say Harry Kane can play even better for England as Captain That s according to former defender Martin Keown Cain will lead out the national side when they face Levine here at Wembley but manager Gareth Southgate says he hasn t decided who will take on the role permanently Keown says Kane s the right choice but Gar South Shore leaders he s a role model within the group already seems like an outstanding there s no doubt about his talent. And I think really we should give him the captaincy and give a show of faith to the players noisily he needs to identify go soccer the p. We can rely upon and Kane is right up there England could seal a place at the World Cup finals with a win at Wembley you can hear commentary in 5 Live Sports Scotland could also move closer to qualification in front of an expected near sellout crowd at Hampden if they beat Slovakia they could move above them into the group. Playoff places has the manager Gordon struck in the game so wonderful play by instinct so you just you know the game goes who are doing work take in a name that s for sure but I will defend that for sure that no week and you can plan. It no it was the only way to there s less pressure on Northern Ireland you ve already secured 2nd place in Group c. Ahead of facing world champions Germany the manager Michael O Neill says they ll be going for a famous result in Belfast and tension as you know we make it difficult for the Germans but you know that they ll come here and has trouble tell them they ve always had a difficult game when they ve come here they ve expect that and I think we expect that again obviously on Thursday night it s our mission is to make sure that we do that and make it as difficult as possible and you know certain I believe that the players believe that they re capable of causing an upset Chelsea ladies will take a one no lead into the 2nd leg of their Champions League last 32 side with buy in Munich a jury spent strike was enough to seal the win a king s men who want to proud Knights for manager Emma Hayes are resilient performance everything but I threw us we expected we rode our luck at times but we took at Chance really well and the goals carried out the game plan because by the end they were very frustrated very rattled Manchester City with 3 no winners against Austrian side San Polson but there was a defeat for Scottish champions Glasgow City Andrew Flintoff says England are still favorites for the winter s Ashes series whether they have Ben Stokes available or not Stokes is still under investigation for an alleged brawl outside a Bristol nightclub last month but Flintoff says England s talents runs throughout the site.

He won t be reapplying for a boxing license from the British Board of Control he hasn t fought since becoming heavyweight champion nearly 2 years ago this is b.b.c. 5 live on digital online smartphone and good morning West and windy weather through the night is going to slow the east this morning and it s good to be the breezy cool but sunny day for most of us so let s put a little bit of detail on this. If we draw a line along the m 4 corridor. And wet the rain shouldn t be too heavy and morning but it will be a wet and cool with it by the afternoon expect some decent. Highs of 15 to 17 Celsius. In northern England and Wales after a wet and windy night the rain should have cleared by early morning is still going to be quite windy with. A long east in England but it will be a dry sunny day for most and the winds coming from the north west so we could. Drifting along the. Coast as well of 14 to 15 degrees the northern island. With. Some of these can be quite heavy at times and you factor in the strength of the wind it s going to feel disappointingly cool 10 to 13 Celsius we might continue. Through the night in the West. With the winds. Quite quickly so there s a possibility of a frost in rural spots on Friday morning Richard high pressure will continue to build from the west across the u.k. . Friday will be dry settled and sunny. Grain trend from the phone north west by the ne evening and 10 Things just had to settle for the stocks that we can t release. Like. Prime Minister Modi of in the has been hitting back at those critics who say that he is mismanaging the economy. Has been telling me what the Prime Minister been saying where he s been coming out swinging punches after what s been a difficult week for the prime minister I think it s fair to say when it comes to his handling of the economy Now remember we ve had these figures that have come out that shows that India s growth rate is now at 5.7 percent the lowest that it has been for quite a number of years now and within Mr Moby s own political party you know in the last couple of weeks we ve had 2 very influential politicians who ve come out and basically accused Mr Modi of mismanaging the economy Yashwant Sinha who used to be India s Finance Minister under the botched break up meant again of the beach a.p. And I didn t show he who used to be a minister as well basically said that the Prime Minister s made a hash of it the Di money ties ation was like a. Clete disaster and that is implementation of g.s.t. The new tax system that we talked about endlessly here and up on that road again has hampered the economy so Mr Modi for the 1st time getting attacked not only from the opposition but from key figures within his own party now today he s come out and said that the criticism of the economy is only coming from a handful of people they re trying to spread pessimism across the country at the moment and basically saying look the things are not that bad we ve had one bad quarter and that everything will write itself very soon and the government will take all appropriate steps but I think you know we are beginning to talk about it a lot more here on this program only that the economy is now becoming the defining story in India and it s not about the reforms that the prime minister is trying to put in it s about the reforms he needs to put in to get it going again so how are things actually looking more. They re not looking good I think Rod I mean if you talk to businessmen and business women in India at the moment they ll tell you that things are stagnating that people don t want to invest if you talk to you know graduates particularly in sectors like Katie they say when they go to the office they re fearful that by the end of the day they might be losing their jobs and that sounds extreme but it is happening in a number of k. Cases a number of big cities like Bangalore and Hyderabad India s i.t. Hub so I think there s a very different mood on the ground at the moment than what there was maybe a year or 2 years ago remember we have been talking in recent times about India being the fastest growing economy in the world well those seem quite distant days what can the government do I think people would like to see more spending from the government looking at what the banks could do to make sure that they can lend more money money to businesses who who need to get things going as well but I suppose like the rest of the world India is beginning to slow down I think what we have seen in the past was a feeling that India wasn t affected by what was happening in the global economy that clearly isn t the case anymore and worse Mr Modi is plea to expose the black economy his last best shot to me the feed if he d actually pulled it off he would have been reeling in the tax money wouldn t. Yes you would have done but I mean I think that the problem is that that particular policy doesn t seem to have worked as effectively as the government hoped it would do I mean even figures that have come out from the Reserve Bank of India seem to show that it didn t have the impact that the government hope because 99 percent of the money came back into circulation and of course that because of the money ties ation there was a massive slowdown in spending because people just had was struggling to get access to cash now when you couple that with this new taxation system that has come in the g.s.t. In direct national tax system there has been chaos in its implementation even the government is now saying that it has not come in a smoothly as possible and the level of bureaucracy I mean I have friends who are business when you say look if we are to do business at the moment because we just want in paperwork and nobody understands what we re supposed to be doing now who s about to enter politics. This is India s most popular actor now he s not a Bollywood actor people assume that the Hindi film industry dominates Indian cinema when it does in North India but the South Indian film industry in particular wrenchingly cunt really probably is India s biggest superstar because he almost has sort of even He s worshiped by his found now there has been speculation for a long period of time that the 66 year old could be about to enter politics and this week his for his wife luck speaking in Chennai says told people to expect a lot of change when he does but you wouldn t say the actual dates of when that s going to happen at the moment there s also intense speculation that Kumble hasn t another extremely popular actor in the state could be about to launch a new political party anytime within the next month or so so I think all eyes really turning to some of South India s most famous activists about what they re going to do at the end of their career and it s not going to be taking on more character roles in movies it looks like they re going to be entering the volatile world of Indian politics they really feel there s an opportunity for them to I think if you look at South India in particular you ll recall the name of the chair Lolita the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu who died she was an actress who came to power in Tamil Nadu we ve also seen even her previous essay was also a big act and to roam around if you look at the state of what was under a Pradesh now Taliban under Pradesh again a history of film stars playing an important role in politics not so much of Bollywood I suppose where I mean but India s probably one of the greatest actors his many people thought when he entered politics he was such a global He was such a national star in the country that he could end up as prime minister but it always . Horribly wrong for him but I said in the field in you know Russian econ entering politics because of that sort of persona he has the fact that he s extremely popular amongst all sections of of I suppose Tamilnadu would mean that he would immediately on entering have a very good chance of becoming chief minister once you get into politics though after a while that sheen of being a film star begins to wear off and you have to show that you re actually good at the job and I think that will be the test in his case. Now we re the biggest cricketing nation on Earth sized to host a big football tournament what happens. Well we re going to find out it s the under 173 for World Cup that will begin in India on Friday I think an extremely important moment for football you know India has been seen as the final frontier for the beautiful game and I think people see this as an important moment when it can actually begin to conquer that final frontier India will also be taking part in the tournament as the host nation so the 1st time in a long time that they re taking part in a fee for World Cup even if it s that the. 17 level the final will be in Kolkata and the recent lot of excitement I think that is being generated about it people are talking about it it s getting quite a lot of coverage and in the press often football struggles to compete against cricket I ve been out on the Met dance of Kolkata where people play as much football as they do cricket and as you can hear people looking forward to the impact that the under 17 World Cup can have surely because infrastructure real growth in India and players will come up is a very good platform for the youngsters to play football and people when they think of India they always think about cricket but that s not the case because millions of kids love playing football as well surely because there are more football fans here. Many other countries in the world so I think this World Cup under 17 will help crowd youngsters and it s important that India does well in the tournament yes surely they will do when I guess it s very big moment for every fans of football obviously very very big moment for us so we are very happy but what about the 1st row who you know we think about some of the dusty wicket sometimes taking cricket has played or how about football. Well the problem is firstly that I have to compete with cricket for space and cricket takes a lot of it you know you have seen the pictures wrought on the open made dance of India cricket you know you might have 10 or 12 matches taking place in this space where you probably have warm in England in between that now the footballers have to find space so it can be quite dangerous but I think that is the big problem that there s not been enough investment and grassroots level there s not really enough academies in place in India to actually nurture the huge amount of talent there is that because many people are playing the game Love is an expert on Sports Marketing in India and though she welcomes the World Cup coming she feels that football still has a huge number of challenges ahead of them most importantly whatever little we were left through the policy decisions that every day you can with respect to let s say the old when I was Asian taking away all your open spaces so football which needs open space you don t have a radio room where you want to come down and and it s so important to develop that talent where it is investment in the ground never you just watch what will happen after this one cup is over that s going on just next door Unfortunately you are so hung up with cricket but also pre-boarding everyone is also because of the farming . Thing about the 50. Cricketers about. The outlook. I think it s changing but I think there s no doubt at the moment that cricket dominates so much that it s difficult for other sports to get a look in and certainly there seems to have been a lot of mismanagement in Indian football in terms of the same way that it had been with Indian cricket where the politicians were running it they ve been kicked out of cricket I think many hope that they ll be kicked out of football as well but I think the biggest problem is money most of the corporate money in India gets invested in cricket it s going to take something dramatic to change that and I think what India needs is a sort of football superstar like attend all current football that could get the money shifting. Right whole time to 3 and a half years after Malaysian Airlines Flight $370.00 disappeared investigators say it s inconceivable that we are no closer to knowing its ultimate fate but that s the case m h $370.00 departed from Kuala Lumpur in the early morning of March 2040 heading for Beijing on a routine journey and within hours it had stopped communicating and then vanished from the radar after it made an unexpected turn to the west there were 227 passengers and 12 crew aboard when it disappeared it s never been confirmed what happened to the aircraft although the search for the plane has centered on the seas of the western coast of Australia and the investigators know submitted their final report an expert Geoffrey Thomas is with us Hello Geoffrey All right how are your very good and they go on this phrase if they actually said it was inconceivable and certainly society they are acceptable in the modern aviation here with 10000000 passengers boarding boarding commercial aircraft every day for a large commercial aircraft to be missing Well society unacceptable but but here we are is that the best they can come up with. Well look it s they re absolutely right it is unacceptable in this modern day and I aged 2 to lose an airplane like this. And this is unprecedented in the modern era the report that you reference is 430 pages long it s a stunning piece of work the struggle in Transportation Safety Bureau were assisted by the Air Accident Investigation Bureau the United Kingdom the n.t.s.b. Of the United States Rolls Royce Boeing. And other authorities including c.s.i. Are a scientific organization astray or there s a it s almost a dream chain if you like of investigators that have been working on this search the actual investigation is the responsibility of the Malaysians the day Asta straight to search for this aircraft on their behalf and that s what they ve been doing but while we have not found the aircraft. What we do what they do believe is they know precisely where it is and that is an area of 5000 square kilometers just outside the area they had been searching and the reason they know it s there and they re convinced it s there is because of all the debris that has turned up on the eastern shores of Africa the western in the you know Sion In other words there s 30 or 40 pieces of debris some very small some very large and the reverse trip modeling done by the c.s.i.r. In a strike has identified this area of 5000 square kilometers and that s where we want the Malaysians to resume the search in that area and then who pays I mean the Sirius already spent a fortune on this. Yes but look there is a major contributor to This is actually Malaysia they paid that they have. Contributed about 100000000. Strike has contributed about I to W7X8XW the Chinese. A smaller amount and it s interesting to note that while we know this flight is a mix $370.00 it was also a China Southern co-chaired flight that s why there s some many Chinese on board so the Chinese have a wrist possibility for this search as well but getting back to the costs of of continuing search Yes that is Malaysia but I do have an offer on the table from a company United States called Ocean infinity and they are offering them I know I find no sea offer to resume the search and there s other offers on the table with the Malaysians and it is our understanding from s. Sources in Kuala Lumpur that is highly likely that the Malaysians will resume this search soon what would the plane well what should the plane have had to be phoned and is there any indication that the airlines are actually moving towards that equipment whatever it is look yes there are serious tracking options and without going into all the day it s all very simplistically there are tracking options some airlines have already gone down that route the International Civil Aviation Organization has mandated changes and I think the diocese 2018 or 29 saying. That there is a dike that they have to comply and so we are going down that route the industry is going down that route. And we ll be in a situation where hopefully something like this would never happen again or we would lose an airplane like we have on this one so something has actually been achieved here after all. Oh absolutely in data and. It s required all the countries of the. Party to archive which is the United Nations body to agree and that has been done that the precise details I can t I haven t got in front of me but it is it is happening. So from but we couldn t say with any great assurance from this time on if another Malaysian flight. You know inexplicably disappeared from the radar that it could be tracked in some way at this very 2nd knows. You re absolutely right but very soon it does take time to refit aircraft and to put in place all the or all the requirements that are necessary to make these sorts of changes in the hardware and and whatnot so it s not something that can be done overnight it does take time unfortunately but soon that will be the case and answer somewhere a list of airlines that do have this new more sophisticated tracking equipment already. No not that I m aware of or of no have session as there should be if you re a passenger and you re you re making this a rather strange decision I suppose on you know whether you want to fly with an airline when you can be found if anything goes wrong in the India you re right that s it s interesting puzzle Geoffrey thank you very much thanks for talking to. Well and finally tonight cute little red pandas if if you like pointy noses for just over a month the Denver Zoo has been keeping a secret to secrets the birth of twin red panda cubs a classified as on the day just species and the zoo kept the births in August under wraps until they were quite sure that the Cubs the mother were doing well Rebecca McCluskey as curator of primates and carnivores Denver Zoo and she told me what red panda slick like they look a little bit more like a raccoon and they re sort of had that that same body shape as a raccoon they re a little bit fluffy or they have they have big calles almost like a fox s tail it s a very thick fur very fluffy tail their faces are light their overall coloring is kind of a dark orange color. And their faces have these these whiskers but that come out in their faces they re very light colors they re they re really really adorable and also even if it ll are your or your stuff lining up to get a chance to feed them everybody wants to feed them. But sadly it it s part of our job is this is a business it s serious business and we are we re assist rearing them which means that Mama red panda is still very much involved and so we want to we want to expose her to the keepers that she knows the best so the red panda keepers who work with them most frequently are the ones who get to do the perfect job of feeding the Cubs and how difficult has it been that to raise red pandas in captivity. You know their mom has been very attentive and she s really trying very hard to to be a good mom she s going through all the motions of exactly what she needs to do the problem is that she just doesn t have the milk production to sustain them so they started losing weight and we ended up having to step in and just we re really only there for the calories she s doing everything else and so you know we feed them we started out feeding them 5 times a day we re going to cut back to 4 times a day late this week and so it s it s definitely a time investment Luckily the little guys latched on to the bottle right away it was not hard to get them to transition from natural not source to the bottle so that saved us a lot of time they re actually very very fast eaters. And harm by raising breast bred pandas like this how many red pandas are born in captivity you know and in the world zoos. Well in the u.s. There s usually somewhere between like $5.20 Cubs or and it s not a huge number and all of that is done through the Species Survival Plan so a group of people looks at genetics they look at the population they look at you know which animal should be bringing with with which animals and so we had a breeding recommendation through the s.s.p. The Species Survival Plan for these 2 adults and sure they were able to successfully prayed so this this pair has had one previous litter and they actually went through the same growth curve as our current cub so mother was taking really great care of them milk production dropped off we did you know we jumped in and did some assist feeding with them and they re doing amazing America that other zoos have their own families at this point so you know it s not that we hoped that she would be able to handle this litter by herself but it s it s we knew this was a possibility that she might just her her body just doesn t quite want to take it full course you know. So do you see yourselves as a kind of red panda center then and I mean are you going to be providing Cubs for others who you know who want to try breeding programs. You know the breeding program through the u.s. Everybody works together so I wouldn t consider us a hub or any born Orton s and many others do who holds right pandas and has a breeding program there are numerous really fantastic programs throughout the country so it s definitely a species that is very well loved here at the Denver Zoo by our guests and our staff we really enjoy having them and we hope to stay in the red panda business. And that was for class Rebecca McCluskey from the Danvers who well Iowa tonight we were getting a little bit interested in lunar villages and that s a full moon and made me think about it Ted Hughes is very late book of poems for children and those who think like children moon whales and this is from Moon whales about having a pat on the moon it s called the Dracula Vita. People on the moon love a pet but there s only one pet you can get the Dracula vi in a monstrous sight but then when people like it all right this path looks like a climbing plant made from parts of an elephant but each flower is a hippo s head and thus a gaping to be fed now this pet eat everything whatever you can shovel or fling it snaps up all your old cardboard boxes your empty cans and you re stuffed foxes and wonder of wonder the very flour you ve given something to the sprouts on the spot a luscious kind of pay it without pips and you can eat it there so this is a useful and loyal as well try it but if you treat it badly it will wander off sadly till somebody with more garbage than you have sent flowers something to. Thank you so much for your company. And sun rises in London tonight the smart fight. Chatting away. With him yanking at. 5 o clock come on shake a leg. Let s . Let s. Let s.

Yeah you and I have a dog sees that is she Day How do you still wear as well getting your arms going now pecking order is a flunk you meant tree film about to hit cinemas in the region from September the 29th now you know I ve got a pet chicken phrase in this film takes a look at poultry fun she is in New Zealand it s a quickie documentary without a smash hit in its home country of New Zealand and it s called that riveting in a very funny look inside the unique competitive world of chicken breeding and I spoke to the directors have come out enough to ask why on earth did he want to make a movie about chickens Well you know I didn t want to make this film at all I had no idea you can selling even like that and one day we were filming in Melbourne and the Christmas we re following going through this crap out of school. And I noticed these ladies selling giant bags of really fancy again chicken feet and I just put my stuff. Behind that the big flowing over and had a chat with them and I was like this person that person in they did. And of course all the top readers on the national show circuit and I m like the National was and that was the moment where I realized it was. Best and show for chickens if you will I thought that s got documentary written all over. My interest and chickens began out of nowhere where it does somehow because they make fantastic pets but the people in your film a real serious about it was like oh yeah yeah and all of them have very very different reasons for arriving at you know their love of the chickens some of them grew up with them it was passed on to them. Some of them just came to it somewhat by accident risk getting a chicken somewhere near them but I don t know that just growing up with them explains that many of them would say you know their siblings are surrounded by chickens on the farm as well but they were the ones who you know had better finity where they would pick them up and talk to them and chat them and just hang out with them Rielle I mean I do that over time some code tell you yes. You know what I m talking about it and I said. It s great fun How long did it take you to make this because you didn t really you know under the skin of these people don t they are so serious about all of this and they have their clubs and their meetings and but if agro was well you know between the clubs Yeah that s right I mean one of the scenes of the film as a station which I think covers it took a while and that was used to lenders are generally very understated and especially down south where I live very very dry there it. Took a long time I would ask straight up Christians as a documentary and you know that s it you know where the rival raised you know looking for the conflict point and I d be like nah. Just love the love hanging out . And I would be like I m going on here it took a while to push back and realize that they were just messing with me but their language was one of you know I think in the way that. People in Britain go to the source of the fiction and missing with other people you know yeah and being slightly critical and the very drive that I want to push back they let me end and of course they re very very competitive that out of their game is that they like it like that I don t care at all and walking is about the least they want to yeah yeah . Yeah so what does your christian think about 3 years all of following researching to the characters were and then you know finally committing to filming them and by the time you finish it saying yes mother. So this is become quite and interesting work for you it s coming over to the u.k. Because we we love Whitley you know we love our Yeah intern our pigeons over here you know I found out yes I can actually yes and it s a competitive thing so it s coming the end of the month I believe 20 not serve anybody who s coming to this it s not a comedy This Is Real life isn t it. Yeah like a lot of paper like ours how did you feed them the line he had to decline these actors and stuff and I m like nah. I didn t do a thing I honestly that s not a single word me that s not this is the real thing it s a documentary and yet funny at the time that these people and they re serious you know passion projects showing bringing this to the table into the cinema is a really interesting thing for a documentary to to get to kind of that really isn t it because it s in the you know the theater in all those places yeah it s a big deal and it s not an easy thing to get into theaters with talking it you know but people being loving it you know we kicked off the beginning of the year run so done Melbourne Edinburgh. People really really have taken a shine to these Kiwi characters you know they really are they really make it sparkle you know you don t know I was in New Zealand the same for anyone how it s going to play out in a different culture thankfully in the u.k. From what we ve seen people like it there s a debate over whether they can understand what they re saying. I think I thank them for subtitles I don t know some people take it then. Then other people like thank goodness I think the interesting thing for me when I was when I was watching it was that it was a real slice of New Zealand life that I hadn t even thought about that s the interesting thing that there are people who are happy with their lot enjoy their chickens and that s their life is important to them there s a kind of fullness in there that I ve never kind of looked at before in that way as much as I love my chicken but actually looking another year and it s become a big part of makes it s been going for a long time a 148 year old it s Pollyanna now some amazing now 150 years old that club here in South in fact well we re very young country the arrival of to continue was because of the 1st 4. British ships arriving so. Was much agree around the in showing that and injured has now been saying that.

You hooked already you know as a maid anything like this before you know I ve never been with animals before I had the accident if you like sometimes you come across films or ideas you know and you re like That s about the butt of a set or obviously that but now I m already back to the projects Funnily enough one of them happens to involve animals so I think they get up attracting it to yourself Well the producers come up to 50 people good I can love what you did with the chicken we talked about. Their animals and that you like. That s a great thing isn t it because people do love their pets and you know there s a whole scene going our I mean of course I m an answer to all of you human animal relations is what I study going into this about the chickens and really what you re doing is learning so much about human behavior and how we have struggles dealing with other animals and. You know him pretty and he made a fortune coming at him. And because the case of the yeah I ve got my ion for filming. Here and then I m out together I think yeah that s like keep going with it now that show path Well you know well done. A flock he meant tongue in cheek reply we have to we have to yeah anybody.

Radio Cambridge here the last time I saw him perform was at the Cambridge quote exchange in the title been tree and I asked him about his recollections of that it was with John Hall it was a great theatrical show was not I that I was a singer but I played like an evolved out of vampiric priests that sort of thing the vocals ripple it was just bonkers really wasn t what it was it was 18 when it was it was amazing because I learnt a lot of history of London about the show yes and also I look to you and I saw this performance Mark Almond and I thought it s like watching Richard Burton if Richard Burton could sing like now I could imagine Richard Burton a pauper not how that will the i ve been Lizzie years I think it s fairly years yeah because she was slightly like sex with her and you became enormous if you stood on that and just went for it it was a great show to do I love it I mean to John s Grace is a great is a great composer is fantastic and I just was a very the whole project was really exciting all the words of William Blake and stories of like of that these of dark happenings of London apart myths and tales and and things it was such a great writer my straightforward brilliant Yeah well you re very good at that now now you re on to shadows and yes election as it s your 60th year and little this is my 60th Oh yes I mean I can to keep reminding us that we are not there not in my home are no buildings and now when I when I learned about it my friends. Haven t caught up with it there s always a shot where people have a set of 3 or 6 days off really. Is. Well Age doesn t matter does it because he doesn t go very often the same way for 15 or 16 and I got Hello you re talking about me I m not really I m not over yet Exactly exactly so I haven t really could come to terms with our lives just goes on as usual well that s good as well and maybe that s the next album title then life is usually not over Yeah it is garbage is a great time to does post sixty s I connection that this is an arm of sixty s songs and I picked another 60 songs really because that s the decade I was a child and grew up so that music imprinted me what I was like about 5 years old we had the young parents we had we had the pop music playing all the time in the house I watched all the Ready Steady Go and the pop shows at that time you know thank you lucky stars and things lower member them all really well I remember later on in the sixty s as well when we remember being in my hometown of Southport we went down to Southport beach and on sunny days and it was 196-7168 so it was the Thomas psychedelic music and remember things like early Pink simile play a lot whiter shade of pale and all these kind of songs Moody Blues and things sort of the beginning of the sixty s and the end of the sixty s was a musical decade that really shaped me musically I think and also all the songs were big as well when they like whiter shade of pink songs or because Little Rock music and classical as well said people playing guitars it was also great classical arrangements as well be like George Martin and people like that doing these wonderful years using classical instruments with rock music and when I did sort of the reflections I wanted they said we wanted to do a record like the 1st in a comes to mind when you do that you do an album of Frank Sinatra s kind of songs or things like that or Mistral songs but I thought I want to do a kind of big ballad songs that would feature all orchestrations and arrangements but still have this pop pop element because that shit was not you know there you are with it Poppy music you ve rekindled played songs again you know with how can I be sure like that quite an interesting video for that and yeah we did a video which was based on well. Very steady go and we actually with breaks we got right so the actual did to use the actual opening titles of Ready Steady Go I m a my American manager my sometime my manager adviser a very very good long time friend a little Vicki Wickham she was the that the Booker and the co-producer of really said you go so yes so I m so sick you see she s give me approval the Everything s Ok fits it healthy great stories about all the bands that she booked of that time and the different artists and things and I heard people say she s the person that didn t but David Bowie for the show she turned him down very steady go back in the sixty s but she bought Mark Bowden for the 1st show on his 1st ever t.v. Appearance so so should she know what she talked about the Rolling Stones not Jimmy Hendrix and all these people like to they were good friends of hers here she Jimmy darling she was wonderful he was wonderful you know the Rolling Stones Oh Mick and I were got such great friends Dolly I thought I didn t pull David Bowie darling because he wasn t in the hit parade it wasn t it wasn t a suitable song for help or a dog allowed time so since he does talk that reels off these names of sixty s bands the sixty s artists and she knew them or was guy and we were going to sort of like a piano in here but there s not really rain so even kindly have recruited some of your new album tracks acoustically and I did a couple of live tracks a little live session yes because I d like to you know normally we would have you sort of yes but live and everything but because you mark on what we ve allowed you to do that you ll be any person is allowed to record something all of us really early there s a plank Thank you I think we ve got a lot of that are clear there are libraries available let s talk about blue on blue because it s very special song What made you pick this one well blue on blue up is a song I picked one I did a formants with with Burt Bacharach in the London Palladium a couple of years ago and he asked me to choose a couple songs I knew this song by by Bobby Vinton it s a great it s what s a lot of teen angst ballads you know and Burt was really thrilled that I picked this song she said nobody ever picks this this song ever because he s known for his the songs really for female singers deal more it Dusty Springfield Sandie Shaw you know great female singers sing Burt Bacharach s honestly didn t often come to mind that he writes for male singers. So this of this was a song he wrote for Bobby Vinson and Bobby Vinton signed this song he was so pleased I did it and I d say it s a simple little song by just had to include it on the record. Take on ha ha. Ha that we are through. They can ha. And I find. It s good to be new. On. The Street. War 2 by 2 love us. And. The passer by. Feel. The sadness in the. Imas blues. On. The wheel through. Thick. And. Thin you. Know. Me to dream as I run. To. The room of. Vision. I must be as I can. Take. The. We. And I find. We are through. And I find. You. Are common and the key is to question a blue on blue sea margins big night in and in the next part of the NASA to Mark Almond he was coming to the apex embarrassing Edmund s own Thursday that s next that is the 28th of September the region in Ipswich on October 14th Cambridge Corn Exchange on the 21st of October and take the 23rd at the klystron villain in South Bend I asked Mark about his band top of that of band orchestra smore a small cars are saying is able to kind of do some of the a lot of the presentation of the songs from the album such as the reflections obviously and then and then I can pick some songs from my back catalogue of what I was able to orchestrate on the record behind them to perform live with orchestrations and also some favorites as well a few favorites in there as well so it s given our show I think well how does it feel feeling this is like a Billy Elliot Question My Space And you know when you performing with an orchestra has it feel it was so exciting because I did a project last year with the Leeds College of Music students and and we ve formed an orchestra as part of that they re a curriculum exercise and we did a show called 20th century taught songs we did we did we did one in Leeds with one of the Festival Hall in London and those 50 musicians on the stage great musicians from from the Leeds College of Music and it was just so exciting it was barely a father barely the room from a on the stage I was a squashed up with a conductor because I was so busy musicians on the stage I. Got quite as many of that as of a might or there was 50 people on the stage at that time but it s very exhilarating because you know when you hear the strings and the choir and the other and all this and because then the horns and things it s a very very exciting it s thrilling to be able to do that and I m lucky that that I m able to do that to some extent on this tour as well I mean that must ve been a dream as well when he 1st started performing you know one thing about the future and like you know for me I think you know I did was I d love to sing with a big band or something you know the amazing element I did great really have a list because I also talk quite a lot with Jools Holland as well and I hear his band he s got 14 or 15 musicians in his band and it s always a thrill when you do some like a big band version of Tainted Love or hello wave goodbye and it s always really exciting and I m just lucky that I m able to do that this time in my career I am able to do that if you do anything in a calm while I would like. We ve had the single family album and shadows and reflections let s take those 2 words of the title and that say what s what s your reflection in life that makes you feel now if I d chose to try titled reflections from this song because it s really not about kind of loneliness in a way it is really about being in an apartment and looking a bigger and bigger than the old arrangement apartment on your own looking at your life and looking a lot looking yourself in the mirror thinking where you ve come from when and where where you re going to and taking stock of the shadows of the things the haunt you the reflections of the things that when you look at yourself and reflecting all the the kind of things that happen to you how you ve kind of aged in life how you ve kind of. The kind of reflect the good things I think so in the shadows reflections of 2 opposite kind of things I think you know in a way that the dark things and under light things the reflections bring in the light yeah yeah fine much say don t they and that s something that case through life with you that things happen for a reason I m a very strong believer in that and I know now you have this opportunity to get on those big stages and yes and I feel that. That you ll remember bringing And I would say pop but Cabaret is one of those magical moments of the people that inspired. Brown and all those big singers as I m hearing that great classic performance and sings and I went to see Charles arsenal for a couple of years ago in London and it was his 90th birthday he was performing at the Albert Hall and he was absolutely amazing and he I mean he s older his voice of this is going to little bit he has all the prompter s of the front of the station in that sense out of why he sometimes occasionally but that was the so when Tony became younger and younger and younger and all the years kind of melted away he became this really young performer 90 years old is on the stage singing these kind of style songs with which you don t have to be a great singer to sing to sing these are storytelling French Songs of the gutter and life and death things but then I thought this is probably the last time we ll ever see 1000 of war but there he was back again 91 back on stage with a home all I did to him by his committee is about 23 years ago so he s coming back again soon as well there s a good looking at his Web site he s still touring he s still out I think was about 93 or 94 almost nationally Yeah yeah he still if I should ever be so lucky to have a reach that stage I mean I would be singing by then but that s what I kind of like a lot more and a lot of the way I am now and that s why I like sun sun star Jack Burrell the storytelling songs because you don t have to be a great to technical singer to do them yet but you ve got the technicalities you can reach places where you know. In the heart and soul of things as well because performance is you isn t an easy study of performance art but yeah I did I mean I love performing a lot I like that story tells arms and yeah and so you know it s I do performances so it s quite an important part of the show I m doing the stuff as reflections probably because me less go for improvise ation The most other such as I do because the songs have a very structure and I have a form and as a conductor conducting and things are good I m really behave myself and stick to the song. Rarely does a boaster kind of go off on tangents All right well let s hear one of the tracks from the album I know you love me not to dress how fantastic. And if you look at her ever look at her clips on You Tube and how modern She loads and how with her hair color to let the makeup and and the clothes she was such a modern looking kind of current performer she had she had a great voice she had a a just all to have was because she went off and did it because Julie Tippett And then went off and became a kind of free jazz performer with her husband but in those days she was had with Brian alder in the Trinity and I love I know you love me not because not one of her most well known singles this the most crazy orchestral crazy song with tempered is that remains and all kinds of things going on we ll hear that after the latest on the road. And I m Marie has that thanks very much will have a look at the m.l.f. a Noun it s queuing on the southbound side between junction 10 for ducks but and 9 percent for malls and that s following the docks the Battle of Britain air show which is taking place today announced the trains because a planned engineering let s cross country have replacement bus service running between Stansted Airport and Cambridge also a great Anglia have replacement bus service running and that s between Sheffield and we that s the latest I man Marie will. Have. Your back get. Something in your. Room and. Was. Simply used. To. Be. Look. To play Yeah big stuff isn t it Mark Allman in continuing with the chatter that I m having with him we go on to the subject of food same ol common Let s pretend that with in your kitchen and I m just wondering are we going to have fish and chips speak it bolognese all the vegetarian option. Well it depends actually I mean one day you might have fish and chips but another day I m very kind of frugal of what I eat very very careful what I eat I don t I don t eat red meat and I probably go for a vegetarian option these days actually I do like occasionally fish and chips as a as a treat but happy very careful what I eat I can t eat spicy things like Antti peppers Conti onions I mean haha I think when you have your go blood to remove Gadhafi or your things things that remove the certain things you can t eat you can t eat fatty things spicy things all these kind of things but I would probably go for the vegetarian option you see that s our cosmic connection of a cosmic connection and I think you could probably ask the audience and get a right hands up if you have. Written most or say you ask your nice things isn t it I know it s a cosmic connection yes and also for the voices Well you ve got to be careful haven t they will be very careful as regimented when you re touring no chocolate no cheese no spicy things no fatty things quite careful over water but I m trying to actually give myself more and more towards vegetarian because I actually find it kind of me actually a partner in their older I get and you look at anything oh my god it s so awful and I really kind of support animals and things that are under and animals societies and Ok well that sounds not very good because I feel very good impossible I think it s too rigid for me and I see many now as you know like a examiner and I don t like and I do like cheese Unfortunately I couldn t. Risk it I think we get along well Margaret. Could be that we can see Charles as noble together because I think. Is there anybody that you would have loved to have seen and he didn t want to see Jim Morrison or some of those 6 singers from the sixty s that you have such as the Jimi Hendrix of to sing us a job or Hell I mean John Bell of course there are quite a few performers and singers for all I can think all the best ones that I ve really liked actually no longer with yeah actually all the one who like to say so so I that s why I like to go to similar charges and was an older performer because it s like catching a legend while they re still here absent and however all they are. And I don t mind the being all because though that they ve got all this experience of life that they bought to they sense the grace of the voice is cracked a little bit maybe they don t move as a smoothly as they used to but always legend and old is all the sort of life that they brought to the song is that on the stage is like a master class. Let s hear embers now from out she sticks she what follows one of the self self written songs in the self in song is actually by John Hall which is no one say goodnight to on this summer but with the producer Christopher braids is one of my Be regular songwriting pond as we wanted to give it very much a walk a brother s big ballad fail for the record this is embers. One you changed on the fire in my home. Too would do when. The Do they deserve my love is down to a small world in my top left out in the ring. All music is dull no words have no meaning think anti Express. My. Mind. Has. A way. You would torch slide sending you a mass that are just as it tame. But a. Good. Warm and held my. Breath. Was a dive. In . Just. A. Nice way and. Slowly Woodroof. That you ll see this. Scene. From my home. Or. Some. Remember. It was only. One day you changed in the. My now feeling because to do in. Mark Almond no here only remember him from tainted love he does write his own songs as we just heard there in embers now some songwriters like to get into his own so I had to ask Mark how he composes to be quite subtle and I go through periods of sometimes struggling to I never thought of most natural songwriter I can t play an instrument enough for that very inhibited you can t sit down with a piano or a guitar and a strawman melody but I have very strong melodies and ideas like I hum things into it into a cassette tape record I like or to a what the 3rd story and i Pad or something like that you know you hum your musical melodies no ideas or work with a musician who can fill it out with the chords or have a couple of regular people that I like to work with give me tunes and things I do go through periods where I struggle to write songs and I record an hour mic for a few years ago called the raw tie and I thought that I was so drained after that I thought I can t ever see myself doing an album of original songs again to be quite honest and I did I met up with Chris Braide he sent me some some He s a producer in Los Angeles and he sent me some some tunes some songs which I thought were fantastic just the right kind of chords that he tucked in with me and I started writing songs again so I never write it off totally I think it s not in a cover versions album for this moment because the connect the next one is going to be original an album of original songs it just gives me that breathing space yeah be able to write new songs again but I never think of myself as the best or most natural songwriter which is why I do like to cover of the people songs a lot of the time because I think or they ve written a great song and not many people know that song but I could take it make it my own start my own identity on it and then it becomes kind of belongs to me yes and I was thinking the other day of from France where hard is all over the world which is a beautiful song and while it s slow and low I think that you could turn that around and you could almost do a pulpit thing for that there s another song by France was hard I said to some actually by her that I d nearly really considered for this record at one point you don t it did that I m just a completely. Scapes me I can t remember what times that strayed you mention France on a cosmic thing that because Ms they re having. To go. Back to. Talk a little bit you know in the cosmic become Ok because the cosmic here in Paris and 992 v.w. Machine exists the absolute good fest was there and everything Ok and all kinds of people will come in and sing in the camp or we can get you in there with a piano but you never know one day if you take up ukulele. But it can take you to a different place in time so where would mark a moment like to go well we could go visit the time of entry for real but we to but that would be to sort of it big gory want to really feel kind of months ago when I went to Palm Pilot a regional I went to Italy I went to I went to Capri and went to Pompei. One of those places we walked right up to the the ruins of the Empire Thai beer is his palace on the contrary where he looks out over the sea and through people off there as well so that would be fantastic to see but probably I d like to been on a ship in the Bay of Naples watching Vesuvius and Pompei that would be kind of amazing thing to experience and sit and seeks we went to Palm Pilot We walked a bit around it and everything i was amazing I m going to go back a 2nd it s all about 3rd of it so I d like to go on the ships and maybe to Rome and be very rich of course and yes it was his way away and all the things how did. Gorgeous corpses what. With all being fed grain. On my mobile barge whatever what watching the pump a big smother part of a scoop. Well that s something that s a bit dark isn t it really but.

Of what people can expect from a long car and on the settings and reflections album as well so you will finish with not for me when I keep pinch this one from from. Bobby Darin Yeah I found it s not one of Bobby Darren s most well known songs but I think I listen to the limits of the song I thought.

Crazy. They re just taking me to their houses so it s his signal this. Hospitable and passionate about the music it s great really it s like well it s lovely is another family you ve got I ve absolutely really really. Now your album you recorded brought Yeah yeah yeah I recorded it in Saudia. With Chris West Chris Chris boy Chris Reeve produced my 2nd album full of life and people house and I saw any of the big you know Paul farmhouse right. 7 or 8 years ago and over the years of being out there with him and helped him. To develop and the last thing I did go involved with was had these rat infested old barns that were on the front of the property they were really awful buildings and he wanted to turn them in the studio so I went out with him and we ended up without knocking health of it down because it was just so unstable and dangerous and rebuild it and so I kind of built the studio with him and. That there was you know it helped him do that and he did that recording so you know it was a great trade off for those concerned yes very much say so you the face to face artist I was listening to the sense something you as a Jew about from abroad as he called when rivers meet they recorded their album 1st in there yeah there was there was some kind of special thing going on when I was there and I you know in a kind of mystical way it kind of felt like the energy the art put into it building it was kind of coming back to me was what resonated with me on my free thought it was yeah you felt I mean there was there was blood sweat and tears went into that building you know it was it was hot work on the hot sun you know and but it came back to me really did yeah well let s play a track from this is not coming out to the Trying to the tape is money and so we ll drop Well why do release Yeah yeah yeah but to get it right so long as she can hear and river in the rain what s the story behind this river in the rain is. It covers a few generations really it s the 1st character in the song is actually my grandad and then and then you hear me talk about my dad and then at the end the last verse is about my sons and it will start off the idea started because when I was when I was a kid my granddad was you know as most kids if you grounded as you hear I knew what brand it was a church minister and he was and we used to wherever he was we had to go there for our summer holidays and. And he was coming out for retirement it was a late seventies and. Instead of retiring he was asked by the the church if he would go to Guyana and South America as a missionary for years and when the news came through this was happening all wasn t very pleased about this you know it was because of my granddad I don t want to got away for 4 years and he kind of said to me you told me that when he came back when he came home he would take me fishing and that was the kind of way of appeasing me yet. And the whole song really is about the fact we never date and inevitably fish in and and you re hearing the song because I live I live in what was my granda Telson old house he bought when he came back from Guyana. Is a house on a living you know the vegetables I grow grow in the soil that he used to grow his vegetables in you know so there s a lot in there talks about I think about him often especially when attorney soil and and and the river in the rain storm the top of the song comes from the back of where I live there is a river and when I was maybe 12 or 13 I went fishing down there and hammered it down with rain and I was getting completely drenched and it was you know before the days of mobile phones I couldn t find my mom up and so I can you come and get me just at the white until she turned up a few hours later but then I saw this figure walking towards me along the river bank through the Rhine with his long black coat on a phone by a lift. And it turned out to be a grand and it because he d seen me from his house and of course every die I get up and I look out the back of my house and I see this scene in front of me you know that very river and I m a ground as garden so the song really is about keeping promises. Said the fish. Dispursed words good. Things come. From. His loved. Ones to. Think. We never did goof. When he So are you. For the. Good for. Always Nation and river in the rain oh my goodness that exists a home film is so gorgeous and it s very much you because I know you and I ve watched Ray for the years and you know and now you have 2 wonderful sons he do you proud and. It just really lays t. That you know if you re going to promise something you know do you do your best really to do what you need to yeah I think the thing is that you know none of that is kind of fanciful imagination that s only so my my dad really did tell me a story a few weeks before he died about how like all of his it might a promise to him when he was 1213 a month that was no one to 3 when he died and 80 years later still bothered him that his uncle hadn t kept that promise and ice just just a good thing to be aware of isn t it fantastic I think so now you probably could torrent a 12 string you know because apart from writing wonderful songs and sing in them as well you love playing guitar in the 1st Time Ever I Saw Your man and I was fascinated by fingernails Yeah because they then why are you still or it s yeah what is that about I want to rubbish nails myself but you wear these are actually yours because you really don t like cover them up with circular and to apply you know because that s the way you like to pick when you play guitar it just gives me a real kind of definition you know and so it s a very direct conversation you know pick a string and. It s not my fault you know it s a really clear sound that when that was water a struggle with the 1st I think of picking it was you said it a bit muffled or not didn t have that kind of clarity that I heard from other places and I thought how I doing that and eventually I the guy told me about this little trick we ve so blue and toilet 5. And here we are. I mean he just would be no no no no contempt Thank You have to go to a night and I would say thank you but you re going to play 1st now and you ve got an instrumental. You know you have this is really an issue as Israel actually really say this money is our friend from the east. He s this about well it s. Not about any one person it s it was it s just a for you the Chinese go for you and I think if I m ever going to have a piece of music gets used in a film I think this is the one it s going to really kind of film the wall you know . And and these Jews because I ve been knocking around for a while and they were so 33 or 4 sections to it and I was running through it in Saudi with Chris and he said no you don t need that bit just stick to these 2 bits do that. And. We got to the end of it and you guys you need one more call there and so really we played me this code we because you know we re choosing open say this Judy and so we came up with what we ve now called the Agatha Christie called. I think at the very end the missing one all right oh here he is this is life in the studio now friend from the east friend from the ace to here. With the Agatha Christie and of course. You know there was a great great time and I m sure that you know your your tour that s going ahead and all of that is going to be say good for you and you can love is the album available from all. 23 or you can preorder it the moment from if you go to my website I do Nation dot com Yup and if you go to the music page so I do you know dot com forward slash music yeah you can preorder it from there.

You click that one so yeah it s all there and it will be available to download from from the 20 lovely All right well I m a complete cycle track actually I m going to play the stain Ok I find this is an interesting song because it s actually a place that kind of. You wrote you were the founder of yeah. And the Donnelly is is the radio presenter in Canada who has helped to get more music out there more than anyone and he he arranges 1st work for Angel tours I ve done but he arranged 1st tour for me out there so we spent quite a bit of time communicating. Obviously without meeting because he was over there I was here and he s a Scotsman and he grew up in gook west of Glasgow and his dad used to build and mend boats so quite often he would end up with his dad in a van driving up the west coast of Scotland. To mend bugs and he would end up in villages like bend a lock and open in places like that and when when he saw that I was planing bend to look the summer before I went out to Canada he offered me if I would do him a favor when I got to bend to look and if I would he ask me for throw a stone in the water for his dad which is just tradition of that in the land no you ve returned and so you know this was something I always felt quite wanted to do when I got the bend lock and went down on to the beach and found what I thought was the right star you know I could be any old stuff and we re going to start in annoy . A fool myself thrown in the water and I sent Andy that the film and. Ne he said to me this will be known forever as the bend looks down oh and so I ended up I thought that I thought this coffee is selling this side so I wrote I wrote this on the bed looks tired and you know with that he s dead in mind and my dad had not long passed away so he was he was in a mind as well and the song was kind of tie in a locker he signed on the other sort of the water you know there s a famous he s a love interest I know and. You know talking like he s just let people know and the you you know your news and. a placement bus service running between Sheffield and wait for it that s the latest I m Anne-Marie will. Is next and we say thank you and a very good night to Adrian nation let s thank you and. To the next episode then a little bit of a chapter where that show is to write in the right and some nice.
