00:00 Proud, obviously a massive result today, just want to get your thoughts on, you know, badly
00:04 needed three points I think it's fair to say.
00:05 Yeah, I just heard there was a first win in I think 19 games in the league or whatever
00:08 so it's unbelievable for us to get a win and at this time of season there's seven games
00:13 left so we'll just build on it from here and again as I said it was brilliant seeing the
00:17 fans celebrating like that, unbelievable.
00:19 Good for yourself to get off the mark as well, I know you had an earlier chance, didn't go
00:23 your way but you got a second chance at it and you found the target.
00:26 That's what the boys said, the boys said I went in and I missed that one, I should have
00:29 scored but I made up for it and that's all that counts.
00:30 I think it did hit a bobble on the way up there but I'll take the gold and good to get
00:35 off the mark.
00:36 Yeah, absolutely and look obviously it's been a difficult season, a difficult period for
00:39 Nuri, you come in as one of the six January sign-ins and how have you found that getting
00:43 in?
00:44 Obviously you're here, you have a clear job to do to keep Nuri in the division and is
00:47 it tough at the minute with the dressing room or how do you sort of view it?
00:50 No, I'm just happy to be back in the Premiership and playing after a couple of months, maybe
00:54 18 months away from it.
00:55 I came in positive and the boys, relatively far the boys have been positive, the change
01:00 of management maybe lifted a few boys as well but we all believe we're good enough, all
01:04 the boys are good enough and I think if we win the next couple of games, game by game,
01:08 I think we'll just give it our all and we'll go from there.
01:12 Yeah and obviously coming in under Barry Gray, of course following him up from Warren Point,
01:15 you have faith that Barry and his coaching staff can keep yous up?
01:19 Yeah, from what we've seen, the change of play as well has been a bit better, we're
01:23 passing it out more, we're trying to play a bit of football and I think it showed today
01:26 at times, we'll get the ball down and we'll play and it's just, we believe in the management,
01:30 we believe in the players and that's all we have to do, we'll go from there.
01:33 Yeah, it's probably a bit of a cliche but having been on a long winless run, to say
01:37 one result can really turn things around here, look it's only two points, losing yourselves
01:41 now to Balamina and all of a sudden the table just doesn't look as bad?
01:44 Yeah, well that's it, it's one of those ones that have you blip against Glen Thorne but
01:47 other than that we've been playing well.
01:48 The results haven't went their way probably but we've been playing good stuff and there's
01:52 quality in our squad so I think the next couple of games, we'll take it game by game and the
01:57 beliefs are we just need to push on and focus on ourselves, worry about no one else and
