00:26discuss European football coming up this week and let's not forget over the course of today's
00:32programme we'll be discussing some of the managers, slightly far from happy to say the least,
00:37Philippe Clement, furious at the scheduling, Celtic, well it's six appeal for them ahead of
00:42their match against Dortmund, we'll talk about their route against St Johnston, Simo Vallacari
00:48seems to be in the box seat now for the St Johnston job and tributes are flooding in for
00:54Fabio Caballero, a wonderful player for Dundee who sadly passed away at the age of 46, we'll get
01:02a tribute from Tam who certainly was one of those players who looked on with, well I think in awe
01:10of what he could play, the way he could play. Yeah the first spell I remember him at Dundee,
01:16wonderful player in that team with Mzadze and Kinegia, I think he scored two goals at Park
01:21Head in the last game of the season, I think when Celtic won the league, two great goals.
01:24I played with him in the second spell, we came back to Dundee for a second spell, Jim Duffy signed him
01:28for a second time and he was an outstanding footballer Peter, a good guy as well, didn't speak
01:34great English but a fantastic footballer, I was at a tribute night a few years ago with him up in
01:39Dundee and the Dundee fans adored him, you know he had two spells there, the Dundee fans loved him,
01:4346, no age, I think it was a heart attack when he was playing futsal so thoughts, obviously thoughts
01:48and prayers for his family and he'll be fondly remembered by Dundee fans among others. Yeah I
01:53think the great thing about that period for Dundee, there is indeed a certain vintage, I remember the
02:00great Dundee sides of the early 60s, although they're thin in the ground now Ali but I just
02:05get this vision of so many tenements in Dundee with youngsters still with their dads, with the
02:12framed signed strip of Caballero, Nimzadze up there, Caniggia, I mean Caniggia, it's just
02:20outrageous isn't it, Ravanelli, but Caballero for me was special and he had calf muscles,
02:26oh he was an incredible, he was a bull of a guy, it's bizarre to think of that time of the players
02:33that Dundee had and yeah an extraordinary team and an extraordinary sort of footnote into the
02:39history of the club at that era. Yeah absolutely, at times Ruffey they were a joy to watch.
02:45Yeah I mean the quality of players, I mean you see them, the pedigree they had, the clubs they used
02:49to play for, okay they may have been coming to the end of their careers but there's still something
02:53to offer Scottish football and I think obviously as you've just said there, if you're a D supporter
02:58you enjoy every minute of it. Yeah absolutely, if you are watching some of the football
03:04we're playing, I always think sometimes Tam, I know it's great to see your team win,
03:11fans love that but if you've got somebody who can do something that you haven't seen under normal
03:16circumstances, that little bit of skill, that audacious goal that nobody else would have tried,
03:22you go home talking about it for the full week. Yeah I think it was a really exciting time for
03:27Dundee at that point, early 2000s, I remember Fabian obviously, Nimzadze who you mentioned,
03:32I remember a game, I went up there for Hibs and it was live on the BBC and we were 1-0 down,
03:37going on 4 or 5 after 20 minutes and it started snowing and I remember praying during that game,
03:42this game gets cancelled, gets abandoned and the referee abandoned it, we had to go up in the
03:45midweek and we got hammered 3-0 and I can remember Caballero being unplayable and Nimzadze playing
03:51up there as well so, no a really exciting time for a Dundee fan, obviously it didn't go to plan
03:55with the financial issues at the club but it's a period where the Dundee fans will remember fondly
04:02when they were attracting world class players like Claudio Caniggia and Ravanelli. Yeah
04:06absolutely, okay I think from everybody on the football show, our condolences, thoughts and
04:12prayers to everyone connected with Fabian Caballero who sadly passed away. Scottish
04:18Premiership over the weekend, some interesting games, none more so than at Ibrox because we have
04:25basically an unhappy manager in Philippe Clameau, this is what he had to say about the award of a
04:31penalty for him despite the fact his team had won 1-0. So the ball comes and John wants to block
04:39the ball so he puts his leg up, maybe I better stand up, I'm not as mobile as him, but he put
04:47his leg up, you cannot put your leg up with your arms like that, that's impossible, so he puts his
04:52leg up so he needs to find balance, so his arms are like that when he puts his leg up and then he
04:58sees the other one has contact or gonna get contact and it's too late and his natural reflex is to
05:04make himself smaller to put his arm in front of him and from one meter the ball, not the arm there
05:12above his head but in front of his body, the ball hits him and his arm goes then up like that.
05:20I want to ask them what a player can do different in that situation, it's impossible, it's biology,
05:27it's biodynamics. Does he have a point? No, it's a penalty, he can dance about all he wants,
05:35the rules of the game the way it is just now, if your hand's in an unnatural position it's a penalty
05:41and it's a penalty. I think he's just trying to defuse, I don't think Rangers played particularly
05:48well, they got away with it at the end, I thought Hibbs had a couple of chances so I think he's
05:52just trying to defuse the situation, they won the game fair enough but I think he's just trying to
05:58take it away from the whole 90 minutes. Most of the Rangers fans I've been speaking to and
06:03quite a few of them pay a lot of money to go and see Rangers, certainly some of them I was speaking
06:08to yesterday weren't that enamoured by the way they're playing, so they're not really kicking
06:14in in full cylinders but if you are looking at a way to win a game, Tom Lawrence's goal is an
06:19absolute peach. A fantastic goal but I think when it came you'd maybe just expect Rangers to go on
06:25and take a very firm grip of the match, go on and run out comfortable winners and I think we've
06:31spoken about how unconvincing Hibbs have been at points this season, Rangers back in at Ibrox,
06:38lots of fanfare about being back in and playing in front of their own support after all the hullabaloo
06:43over Hamden, I think that just didn't materialise the way that they would have wanted to take the
06:49points and I think it's always the same in Glasgow when you look at how comfortable Celtic were on
06:54Saturday night and then you go to grinding out a win on Sunday, I think you always have a few
06:59grumbles, dissenting voices, I think a 1-0 lead it's always tenuous, I think Hibbs could have got
07:05back in it with the penalty and then of course the game's a bit more anxious in the closing stages
07:10when you know that one goal can spoil it. David Gray, the Hibbs boss, certainly not too critical
07:15of his penalty taker missing. There's a reason I was on the halfway line when penalties were
07:20getting to him. Now listen I'm not going to criticise people that take penalties as you've
07:24just said there, people that are confident enough to put their hand up and want to take it,
07:28you want your centre forward to be confident enough to go and take a penalty, if he could
07:32take it again I'm sure he'd put his foot through it. One thing I would always say, make the goalkeeper
07:36make a save, that's the big thing and if you do that then credit to the goalie at times because
07:41but like I say it's a big moment in the game but one thing I would say is the reaction to the
07:44players after that was fantastic because you could have very easily went under there because that is
07:48almost like Rangers scoring a goal at that point so credit to everyone. Interesting take on it,
07:53for me I thought it was a great save but I thought, I don't know why the player suddenly
07:58he checks his run to see which way the keeper's going and then plays it that way.
08:04I think it was a great save Peter, I thought it was a dreadful penalty, I thought the stutter run
08:08up to it was, I've tried that myself Peter in training just messing about, you can't generate
08:13any pace when you go up and you take a step you slow down, you can't generate any pace,
08:18you've got to keep watching the goalkeeper and then as you said when he dives you put it the
08:22other way. I think Jorginho does it at Chelsea and Arsenal and guys like that, it's a brave way to
08:28take a penalty kick but if you don't score it, it looks terrible. David Gray hit the nail on the
08:32head, put your foot through it, if you're going to make the keeper make a save put your foot
08:36through it. It was a massive moment in the game, I thought Rangers were there for the taking,
08:40I thought they were dreadful on the day and I thought Hibs played well but the final third
08:46it just broke down consistently Peter, they had no real quality in the final third, no real belief
08:50to go and score. The penalty is a huge moment in the game, I think if Hibs score that I think they
08:54can go on to win the game but they don't do that, Rangers see the game out but I thought Rangers
08:58looked tired, I thought they made changes, I don't think their squad's deep enough to make
09:03two or three changes at the minute and it's a real opportunity missed from Hibs. I think
09:07it was a decent performance, a good performance from Hibs, I think middle of the park, Triantis
09:11and Kwon were superb, I think in the back they were untroubled but in the final third they were
09:17poor and creative chances didn't take them and that was the difference in the game. Is there any
09:21kind of cutting on some slack here because he did mention he's not happy with the scheduling,
09:28Ruffey, Philippe Clermont is looking at a team that played really well, I think we all agree in
09:34Europe and then they have to come back and perform, he's not happy with the scheduling
09:38for the TV, for the SPFL, suddenly you've got an early kick-off. Yeah but I think these things are
09:44decided at the beginning of the season, I think TV determine what time the kick-offs are going to be,
09:50I have to say I think Celtic use it as an excuse as well if it's not going well for them,
09:55I think both of them have got enough players to rotate, I just don't think they're confident
10:00enough in some games to rotate a lot of players, you see in the continent sometimes there's teams
10:05coming here and on the Saturday they just drop nine players because they know what's coming ahead
10:11and they just deal with it, so I can get a wee bit of the 12 o'clock kick-off but at the end
10:17of the day they're flying first class, it's a two-hour flight, you're getting home at two
10:22in the morning, just go to your bed and have a sleep and train the next day, I just don't get it
10:27as a valid excuse to not being playing well. Yeah over and above that, listen if they're not
10:33playing well, they won. Yeah and I think probably at this stage of the season that's all that
10:39matters, I think when there's a five-point gap there, there's a focal point and a microscopic
10:44intensity on every game and every performance, I think Rangers can ill afford to drop any more
10:50points, so I think with that comes particular attention on everything, I think had they drawn
10:56that game we would be sitting here and talking about all the noise over Rangers and Philip
11:01Clement because it becomes very, very difficult even at this early point in the campaign to clock
11:07back, so I think essentially it has to be perfect from Rangers until you get to that Celtic game in
11:14January. Leon next up, you know Rangers just seem to thoroughly enjoy playing the European
11:24football, last week was a great performance against Malmo, this time they've got Leon
11:31at home at Ibrox. Yeah and I think Rangers, you're right, they're a different side in Europe, I think
11:36you've seen that over the last two, three, four seasons, they raise their game big time for European
11:41football. Is there a different style that suits them? Yeah because I think it's not as
11:45kick and rush as a normal Scottish football, I think Leon will come and attack Rangers, Leon
11:50will think they're battling Rangers and will come and attack them, that doesn't happen domestically,
11:55a lot of teams will go to Ibrox and sit in, so there'll be more space to go and play in a counter
11:59attack and if they put in the same similar performance they did in Malmo, then I think
12:03they can get a result, if they play the way they played against Hibs they'll get a doon, because
12:08I think if Hibs had any sort of quality in the final third they'd have scored two or three goals,
12:12Leon will, if Rangers defend like that, I thought they were wide open in the middle of the pitch at
12:16times as well, so I'm expecting a far better Rangers performance than yesterday against Hibs,
12:22but Leon are a good side, they've not started particularly well in the French league, but
12:26they'll have a lot of quality players, but again you can never back against Rangers in Europe,
12:30you know you've seen it so many times, they get into games, you think they're underdogs,
12:33they're not playing particularly well in the Razor game, so I think that's a game Rangers
12:37can win, but they'll need to play really, really well. The one thing I remember about the last time
12:42that I watched in the press box, the Rangers-Leon game, all the talk was about an 18-year-old and
12:49his name was Benzema and boy Roffy, he lived up to everything and more, but Rangers still managed
12:57to take them away from home, I think they won 3-0, so at home this is the point where I think
13:06Rangers did really well, coefficient, good win, good win for Rangers first and foremost, but
13:10for the coefficient again, I'm looking at Leon, I'm saying they haven't started well,
13:15this is a real opportunity for Rangers to build up a bit of momentum in Europe.
13:19No, time's right, the players that Rangers have got suit European style football,
13:25possession of the ball, these teams generally come, they give you possession up until the final
13:30third and then they see what you're made of, that suits Rangers, they've got players who are good
13:36on the ball, but they need to score goals and they've proved at home that they can up their
13:42game, if you look at the performance as Tam touched on it yesterday, you look at it and go
13:46it's got to be better than that when you go into this grade. Give us your thoughts on Rangers
13:52against Leon, give us your thoughts on Rangers performance at the moment, the positive is Tom
13:57Lawrence's goal which was an absolute beach, anything else you want to air, what about the
14:01comments of Philippe Clamont, give us your thoughts on all things Rangers and don't forget to hit that
14:07subscribe button. Coming up on the programme, there's lots more chat, we'll be talking about
14:12the Dandy Dons, I've got a great one here from Aurora, clearly an Aberdeen fan, Rafi says I'm
14:17waiting for the PLZ couch to say congratulations to Aberdeen winning 12 in a row but they haven't
14:23played anyone yet, come on guys we've played half the league, come on the Dons. Aurora I want you to
14:30hang fire and we will make that comment for you a little later on, we've got lots to talk about
14:35including that brilliant run from Aberdeen and we'll get the thoughts of the guys on that and
14:42before I start backtracking, guys is just an overall view of everybody, is it a broad term?
14:48I know John Gilligan was backtracking like hell when he saw you in the press conference Ali,
14:53guys I meant persons, because the world's gone mental hasn't it? Yeah it made me laugh actually.
15:00Absolutely he did. Ali's offended. He said modern technology so I don't know what that meant.
15:06Yeah his words are all mixed up, he's all flustered. That was it, that was it,
15:11absolute oh my god I'm getting cancelled. Yeah anyway apart from anything else we'll give you
15:17our opinion, you can give us yours, we'll read some of the opinions out from our feed shortly.
15:24Now let's look at it, Alison St Johnston 0 Celtic 6 and I think some Celtic fans are
15:35in dreamland at the moment watching the football that's on display. I thought it was excellent,
15:40I thought Celtic were incredibly fluent, some of the goals were exquisite when you look at the
15:47moves. I think that last goal, the sixth goal, Adam Ida's goal was extraordinary, Bernardo's
15:52goal too, just a culmination of fantastic team movement. You can see Brendan Rodgers spoke after
15:58the game and said that everyone's on the same page and I think you can see that in the way that
16:03they're playing. There's a speed about them, the sheer fluency of them, I think they're very
16:10devastating at moving the ball about, utilising space. I think it's obviously a nightmare to
16:16play against, however you would have to quantify it by saying they're playing a team without a
16:21manager, a team who have put a very difficult start to the season. I think you'll see a very different
16:27kind of performance tomorrow night when they take on Dortmund. What you would have to say is that
16:32this is a Celtic team who are playing with vast amounts of confidence. The goals Ruffey,
16:39regardless of, and I think Ali's point is a good one, St Johnston are poor, but some of the goals
16:48that Celtic scored, the sixth one was straight out of a Barcelona promo video wasn't it?
16:55Yeah it certainly was, the sixth goal was absolutely tremendous and fortunately it wasn't a
16:59cold offside, it would have been a killer. But apart from that, Marlison's right, every player
17:04that's coming in now has proven their worth, if they're on the bench, if they're starting or
17:09whatever, they're all coming on and turning it on. So it means it puts pressure on some of the
17:14other players, you've got to perform every time you get a chance and they're all doing that,
17:18every one to a man, they're not letting the team down. 11 passes from the back until eventually
17:24it's at Bernardo's foot and then it's in the back of the net.
17:28Yeah I thought Celtic were outstanding, I thought it was, from start to finish,
17:33totally dominant. I know St Johnston are not playing particularly well at the minute but
17:37Celtic could have scored 7, 8, 9, 10, they could have geared to go up as well for me.
17:42I think when you look at the competition for places as well, Hatati out of the team,
17:46does he stick him back in against Dortmund? Does he stay with Bernardo who I thought was
17:51outstanding, scored a great goal. Adam Ida's coming on scoring goals, you've got Kiyoko
17:57scoring goals, there's serious competition Peter and I've said it so many times, when you've got
18:01that type of competition, the levels go through the roof because you know once you're in the team
18:05you've got to play well. If you're a striker you've got to score because you look over at the
18:09bench and you're thinking, if I haven't got a goal here I'm coming off. Same in the midfield
18:13players, you've got to play well. Listen they've got a massive test tomorrow in Dortmund but I
18:18think the confidence at the minute for Celtic is through the roof and they'll go into the game
18:22in Germany high as a kite, I think they'll go and get something out of the game.
18:26Yeah okay, we've all been very positive about Celtic and the manager obviously wants to have
18:33a wee dig so we'll allow him a dig Ruffey, here's the manager's comments after the game.
18:40Not bad for a team that doesn't play good football, I think that's what we were talking
18:43about last year. I think that was the accusation, we were too slow, we didn't play football
18:48and we didn't score enough goals. So it's not bad for a team that's not playing good football.
18:53Okay, I'm going to be honest with you, that's Brendan who's clearly irked and we've all touched
18:59our raw nerve with him but if you are a journalist worth your salt and you are sitting in front of
19:05him, you just go back to him and say, hang fire, last year nobody made it up. There wasn't a pundit
19:13coming out with, we're just saying you're playing bad football because you're playing bad football.
19:18Celtic fans weren't happy with the football they were watching, it's not just pundits or people
19:24writing for newspapers. The truth was last year you're not playing good football, you're getting
19:30wins, the rest of the league is absolutely crap and you won the league. Yeah I think you summed
19:36it up 100%, I think if you ask any Celtic fans at a stage in the season last year it was awful,
19:42it was hard to watch. We talk about the style of play that Celtic have and it wasn't there last
19:50year, it was about a million miles. Yeah they were winning games but you're right there wasn't
19:55much of a challenge from the Hibs, the Harts were there obviously, but the Aberdeens. So
20:01they were getting through games and it was noticeable when big players were dropping out,
20:04MacGregor, Cameron Vickers, they were struggling even more, there was an imbalance there.
20:09But this year you can't complain, it's different and I mean I don't know who, maybe there is
20:14somebody that he is having a go at particularly, that person will be out there knowing who they
20:20are, you know I don't think it's a collector, I don't know. Don't bother looking at me Ali,
20:28the truth hurts. If they made that quote then the people know who made the quote so
20:33they're the people. I think actually he qualified it when he went on to speak he said
20:39the difference now is that everyone's on the same page, I think that is the difference I think.
20:44They are playing unbelievable football. I think there's a fluency about them that wasn't there
20:50in parts of the opening few months and whether that was because there was lots of discord
20:56around the club too, you know you had factions of the Greenby grade irked with the board and
21:01the hierarchy of the club and also I think there was a bit of a hangover when Ange Postecoglou
21:07left, the suddenness of the departure just straight after the cup final and I think
21:12what he was doing and all the rest of it that I think then the return of Brendan wasn't
21:18unanimously in favour in terms of the whole support by the end of the season that
21:24was a different story in the last few months of the season I think you saw.
21:28I don't think that I don't think anybody was saying it because which all
21:32is which all is
21:40proved to everyone that he can deliver a team which can do something in you know in European
21:47football. Certainly one of his predecessors Marta O'Neill has been speaking to
21:52Alisson in an exclusive interview and he reckons that Dortmund are beatable.
21:57How would you approach that game against Dortmund?
22:02Well I think that's obviously a difficult task the only good news is I think that Dortmund
22:07are not as strong as they were a couple of seasons ago I think obviously when Haaland
22:12was playing for them and they are they are beatable but the atmosphere would be fantastic there
22:19no question about it in Dortmund rocking is akin to Celtic Park really on European evenings
22:26and but nothing to be obviously concerned about but nothing to be absolutely frightened of either.
22:34Well that's an interesting one you can see the full interview with Martin
22:39talking about Borussia Dortmund and some other interesting topics you managed to get him on Ali.
22:44Yeah I think we were speaking just in general about Celtic and an association with Champions
22:48League football I think under Martin O'Neill Celtic had a formidable home record in the
22:54competition and I think we had a chat about that and how important it is and also how the new
22:59format lends itself to teams of Celtic's ilk progressing into the knockout stages.
23:04Yeah okay well worth it on our YouTube channel we're giving you so much variety in our content
23:10I hope you're enjoying it and of course you only have to look roughly right across all of our
23:17channel to realise that there's not many broadcasters in Scotland delivering the
23:23content we're doing on a daily basis. No certainly Monday to Friday obviously
23:28Alison's piece and your pieces you know the guys in the Wednesday I know I've been bumped for three
23:33days but don't worry about that the standard's still there. Yeah so as Brendan mentioned last season
23:42he's waited he's waited. Last day in September. Here's a guy right who is basically not available
23:51for tennis matches is babysitting non-stop and just can't make it to everything so
23:56but I mean what do you do? It's just starting to phase him out it's just sometimes
24:00sometimes it comes to us all Peter you know you get phased out and
24:04the younger generation come through and take your spot and that's what's happened with Ruffey he's
24:06just got to accept it. Yeah absolutely the big man will be here till the ship goes down
24:12which is not too far away let's have a look at the news and then there's more after it.
24:19Hi there I'm Kerry and here is your daily news roundup on Monday the 30th of September brought
24:22to you by Arnold Clarke. Rangers boss Philippe Clement says Tom Lawrence is making progress
24:26in his game but feels the Welshman still has important steps to make. Yes better and better
24:32um I saw also that the second half he was also more tired and and less decisive in his passing
24:40and in his shots so still things to work on but he's he made a massive step forward what I want
24:47also from a number 10 to to be decisive. Aberdeen defender Nicky Devlin has praised his teammate
24:52Kevin Nisbet after the striker scored his third goal of the season at Dents Park on Saturday.
24:57Like Kev wants to score goals that's what that's what he does um and he'll be delighted today
25:02another one um carrying on from from last week when he managed to get one as well so yeah he
25:07missed a sitter last week mind you but um yeah now he's um if we can spread the goals out through
25:12the team it'll be good. And Steven Robinson admits he has no interest in speaking to
25:16Willie Colham after Scott Tanzer was sent off in Saturday's defeat at Burr Park.
25:20No I have no interest in a conversation on Monday morning it won't change the result
25:23as I say the only thing I can affect is what I do with the team.

25:38right across our social media you'll get all the managers and players build up to the big games and
25:45after match reaction as well if you want you can look at our Facebook our Twitter TikTok as well
25:52as Instagram and on YouTube and our website Dundee 1 Aberdeen 2 it is incredible I mean the run 12
26:01consecutive wins. Brophy you've got to give them credit. I've got my Dundee Duns to help on
26:10I sort of changed a wee bit yeah I thought that was going to be a wee test for them at the weekend
26:15not a massive test because there are bigger tests ahead but they went they went ahead there and I
26:21thought they won quite comfortably you know I thought they played really well in the particular
26:27stages of the game and they got the goals at the right time apparently with a bit of a just a
26:32blimp of them. A blimp? A blimp yep okay. It's a small blimp. Okay oh a blimp right thanks not a blip a blimp
26:40which is more than a blip from Brophy there. Well on that basis you know Jimmy Tilleen is
26:48whether it's a kind of a you know his upbringing the way he is as a a manager he's not for getting
26:54overly excited. I have tried when I was up in Pittorchie to see if I could get him to to jump
26:59and bite but he again is towing the party line no need to get excited it's too early says Jimmy.
27:06No as I told you before we we stay with the we know it's the league stops in May and we have a
27:13long period today so that's why we always try to go humble and try to improve things we still have
27:18a lot of things to improve we have to grow as a team and so I'm happy with the start but we also
27:25know football is football and we need to stay feet on the ground and work hard every training and
27:29that's why we go training by training game by game. Is there a chance Jimmy could come in one day and see
27:34what we're absolutely brilliant I think we could win this. No I had to listen to Aberdeen it's a fantastic
27:40result I was like roughly I thought this was a game they're going to slip up they they went
27:44two nothing up I think second half Dundee were probably the better team but Aberdeen seen the
27:48game out they're winning games I don't think they were at their best. The Dons fans are steaming in
27:52on you on here. They are aye. Kaiser says Tam's gutted. No absolutely not I hope Aberdeen do keep winning
27:58I think it'd be really refreshing for the whole league for Aberdeen I think they've got third
28:01place tied up Peter give them third place now Aberdeen. Yeah? Yep I'm giving them third now
28:06I think they're that far ahead of Hibbs and Harts that they'll not get caught now they've just got
28:11to try and get a couple of wins per month now and they're miles clear so I think third's in the bag
28:16already and they'll have aspirations of going and trying to get better than third but I hope
28:22they keep winning Peter I really do until they play Hibbs but I thought I really hope they do
28:26keep winning I think it would be great for the league to have another team up there challenging.
28:29I've got to ask you about the quality of Nisbet's finish. Yeah it's a great finish Kevin's like that
28:33he side foots a lot and he's very composed in front of goal and it's great play from Kessling
28:39who looks a real find you know I think they paid a few quid for him the young finish guy I thought
28:44he looked you know really really good out wide and scored the goal set up set one up and a great
28:50finish with Kevin and Kevin will score goals for Aberdeen if that's the type of service Kevin's
28:54getting then he's going to score 15-20 goals for Aberdeen this season so everything looks good for
28:59Aberdeen we know they've got tougher games coming up but I really hope we keep winning games.
29:05Yeah Stuart Derrick says Dundee outplayed the Dons Ruffey you didn't watch that game.
29:12Well I mean I know the manager Dundee manager came out and said that as well but
29:16the end of the day it's scoring goals you know and then seeing the game out you know and it's
29:20up to Dundee you know to prove that they can score goals in open play all they could score
29:26was a penalty you know so you have to give all the credit to Aberdeen for the 90 minutes.
29:30Yeah Tony Docherty reckon they were the better team? Very frustrating it's not very often you
29:34come into a press conference like this and say the better team lost but that's certainly the case and
29:38and to be fair to Jimmy an honest guy that was his acknowledgement after the game when he shook
29:42my hand he said your team are better than us and deserve more and I think that's quite an accurate
29:46summation but it certainly doesn't make it feel any better just now but I've reiterated to the
29:51players there that if we show that consistent level of performance I think the last game
29:55home game here as well against St Mern we showed a level of performance we should have taken
29:58maximum points from both games we've not but you know what that happens over a league
30:02campaign I think Aberdeen to be fair to them get momentum but they're getting the rub of the green
30:07at the moment you know that'll turn for us. Yeah I've watched Dundee I like the football that they
30:13try and play but all the positives must be on a side I mean I think we were looking back they've
30:19equaled I think Martin O'Neill's side's 12 consecutive wins but also I think Derek McInnes
30:25went through a patch in 2013-2014 where they had a run of 12 games not at the start of the season
30:32but certainly a run of 12 games unbeaten. Yeah I think what you see is an energy and an optimism
30:38amongst the Aberdeen support one they're coming out in numbers to back the team and two there's
30:44a genuine belief that they can go and challenge this term what that means I think is probably
30:50third position however you've got to look now at both cup competitions and think are they capable
30:56of going and getting themselves to Hamden and then you could you know what if you get there
31:01anything at all can happen but what there's a huge question mark over the games that they
31:07have coming up now with October particularly daunting in terms of who they're going to face
31:13but what you would have to say is you've jumped in you've jumped we didn't want to say that they're
31:18waiting on you what you would have to say what you would have to say is that what you've said
31:24Ali guys I just put his fist through the laptop for the first time hold on a minute to receive
31:31a bit of noise in the reversing will you go on you go what you'd have to say is that they've done
31:37everything I asked of them so far they can't do anything more other than go out and win the games
31:42that they've got you can make an argument that they should be winning the games that they've had
31:46although I thought they might have dropped points I thought it might have been a draw at the weekend
31:50so you have to applaud the start that Jimmy Tilleen has had and I think you've got to admire the
31:59optimism now that the Aberdeen support are enjoying. Ruffie I have to say I watched hearts at the
32:06weekend I was at Tynecastle Aberdeen will go 13 games undefeated the next game up is against
32:13hearts hearts are murder they didn't even deserve a point Aberdeen will trounce them.
32:19Pataudry at Tynecastle? It's at Pataudry. Hearts will be away? Hearts will get European football on Thursday night?
32:24Yeah honestly I mean they were just terrible I was sitting in the stand thinking how far has this
32:33side dropped they are murder the fans were going absolutely mental and the funny thing about it was
32:40the fans you know if you watch some of the modern day football now you know this whole
32:45let's play the ball back let's play it across the back line they were having none of that Ruffie
32:50they were going tonto they were just saying get the ball up the park let's see some creativity
32:56hearts were slow predictable there was no creativity I just I didn't see anything I mean
33:03the fact that they managed to get an equaliser was you know it was they just didn't deserve it.
33:10Well it's a complete lack of confidence right through the team there's nobody in the team
33:14there's no leader in the team just now grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck
33:18and pulling everybody along with them that's not happening obviously Laurence got a goal but he's
33:23not been getting as many as what he was getting last year I just think the feedback for the fans
33:29now with the euphoria last year of being third and in Europe never and playing great football
33:35has gone now and their lack of confidence is feeding onto the park and the players are just
33:41going into a shell unfortunately that happens if you've not got a lot of characters on your team
33:46and that seems to be the case and the only way they can get it is by winning games.
33:50Yeah I don't I don't see anything from them now I would say to you one of my mates who sits
33:56in you know the let's big corporate boxes he just sent me a text and he said we are in trouble mate
34:06and he is one of the most ardent Hearts fans that I know and he just looked and he just shook his
34:13head as I look back from the press box he was like so many other Hearts fans there is nothing to see
34:19that fills you with confidence. Yeah it's incredible and I spoke to Hearts fan after the game as well
34:24and they said they were very fortunate to get a point at the end as well so it's incredible because
34:28you thought the summer window that they had you know they've done a lot of business early doors
34:33you know they signed probably the pick of other teams you know Yandanda we thought would be a
34:38good signing for them you know Blair Spittle guys like that and they've just not they've just not
34:42performed at all and Laurence Shanklin obviously gets off the mark again I think he was taking a
34:47bit of stick as well from the supporters so I totally agree with you I think Aberdeen again
34:51they're getting them at a great time they're away to I think they're in Azerbaijan they're playing
34:56Minsk but I think it's behind closed doors in Azerbaijan so they've got a long travel to there
35:00and then they've got to come back and go up to Aberdeen so Aberdeen again be licking their lips
35:04thinking they've got Hearts at the right time again the boy Hale scores a great goal and
35:10gets cuts inside and hits it in with serious pace so again a fantastic fantastic goal. I mean
35:16we've tipped Ross County and St Johnston I know but you just have to move on now some of them are
35:22just so crap Ruffey there's no point in trying to wangle ways in. I know, I know, I know that.
35:31Do you know what there's a generation who watch this program because it's on YouTube that are
35:36young Ali and they're looking and thinking what is Tam on I mean he just he just talks the biggest
35:43if he keeps scoring goals at a boy I'm loving life I'm just going to wangle it in every time.
35:48Absolutely but by the way I mean it was a great goal that he scored but right at the death Ali
35:54and it's a journalist's nightmare isn't it I'm sitting there thinking oh I've nailed this match
36:00report and then Lawrence pops up you know I think it come off every bone in his body to get the
36:04equalizer I have to say until they get the manager in until they get a clear vision again I can't
36:11believe they've come off the tracks and and remember I've spoken to people at the start of
36:16the season at Hearts and they were you know they were optimistic they were really looking forward
36:20to a good season they were looking forward to hopefully at the time I was speaking to
36:25a number of people connected with Hearts they were looking hopefully to Europa League and money
36:29you know really good money coming in which would take them on to another level but that has just
36:34completely disappeared I'm not saying they're in relegation trouble but they're certainly in a
36:40situation where they're fast moving towards having no hope of getting in the top six
36:47unless they get back on track I can see two defeats coming their way in the next week.
36:52Yeah I think it's almost it's the antithesis of the Aberdeen story isn't it like so where you
36:56have seen Aberdeen grow in confidence and belief and optimism with every passing week the same
37:03the reverse has been true for Hearts I think there's a palpable lack of confidence within
37:08the squad I think you can sense it I think there's an inhibition with players being on the
37:14ball or maybe a lack of bravery on the ball too which just comes when you're not winning games and
37:20you sense the crowd on top of you I think it was important to take the point I think it at least
37:27gives them something rather than nothing from the weekend but they look like a team who are aimless
37:35at the minute they look as though they're just without any kind of real direction.
37:39Yeah okay Motherwell 2 St Mirren 1 I think we had quite a good weekend for predictions you were
37:45hopeless because obviously you thought that the Dundee Dons would fall foul of Dundee but
37:51Motherwell against St Mirren I think you know it was tight St Mirren took the lead Motherwell
37:56obviously coming back into it what did you make of it Ruffy? Yeah I think Motherwell were fortunate
38:01with the first penalty I thought it actually hit Lennon Miller's arm before the shot that he put
38:09in you know I think the penalty all right they're all grappling in the box you know and the referee
38:14decided I never saw it but he certainly saw it and they looked at it again so the sending offs
38:20you know I think the Tanzer one was a joke the other one was obviously crack and save by the
38:27his name Casey was the boy who got sent off. I thought it was a good save I thought he should
38:33have got maybe just a yellow for that. Ali? Yeah I thought I think I had predicted a draw for this
38:45one yeah I think St Mirren 2 I haven't been on a particularly good run like when coming in off the
38:51back of European football at the start of the season and just toiling for a wee bit of fluency
38:56and just to especially when you compare it with where they've been across recent seasons and
39:01finishing in the top six I thought there was a bit of a bit of luck about the first penalty too
39:08although you would have to say I think Lennon Miller has started the season incredibly well
39:14I think you just I think he missed maybe two or three months last season with the knee injuries
39:19first season of coming into senior football but I think I think Motherwell will do well to hang
39:24on to him beyond this term. Yep good win for Motherwell for St Mirren I know that Stephen
39:31Robinson not too happy overall with I don't know about you but I mean the second challenge
39:39for the for the sending off I'm not having it. Nah I don't think it was a red card Peter I think
39:45Stephen Robinson will be upset with that and I think he'll be upset with Mark O'Hara missing
39:50the penalty as well again a key moment in the game and when they just went down to 10 men as well so
39:55no I think it's a game it could have went either way to be honest we always thought it was going
39:59to be a tight game and Motherwell just starting to string a few results together Lennon Miller's
40:04obviously at the heart of that and I agree with Ali you know I think he's he's one of the best
40:08young players that's I've seen in a while I think he's superb and again 18 year old I think Motherwell
40:15were going to get it was a record fee for Turnbull was that three million or something from Celtic
40:20I think they might get more than that for Lennon Miller. Well if he's good so is the boy David
40:23Watson bagged a couple Kelly three Dundee United three Kelly really should have had the back the
40:28points in the bag but the manager says the players maybe are just getting caught up so desperately
40:33trying to get the win. So Derek McInnes we might hear from Derek on this. I think we've seen it
40:43there at the end I think there was a I think second half we came out I think any team that
40:48was looking for that kind of real confidence and we get that with the performance we looked at a
40:54really confident team had a bit of swagger about us for 35 minutes there it's just an over-agerness
41:00to get over the line and get the job done and everybody tried to play their part so we're guilty
41:04of at times I thought just that over-exuberance and we need to use the experience and calmness
41:10more in that sort of moment. Desperation just to try and get that win Roffy? Yeah I mean you're
41:15winning 3-1 at home you know you've got to be able enough to see the game out you know I think
41:20they were very very unfortunate with the Dundee United penalty I thought I don't know I thought
41:24that was diabolical giving a penalty for that I don't think there was anything in it at all for
41:29the Dundee United to get the penalty in so I'm surprised he never touched on that he usually
41:35does but you've got to see the game out at 3-1. Yeah listen they're in that bottom end where we
41:42don't expect to see them all the time when you look at that table you know Hart's at the bottom
41:47Kelly don't expect to see them there certainly him you'd think we'd be pushing Dundee were top
41:52six last season so it's it's got that familiar look you know just 10 upwards to to possibly
42:00maybe a fourth or fifth and then you've got those three teams that are suddenly just pushing ahead
42:07yeah Ross County have obviously you know started to pick up some points in recent weeks you know
42:11I think five points for the last three games to get the same up the table but it's very tight
42:15Peter I think there's there's five or six teams that have only won one game and there's two that
42:20have not won a game yet Cumberland and Hart's so you would expect Hart's and Cumberland to
42:24to start climbing the table but you can't keep saying that every week they've got to start
42:27winning games again Aberdeen you know 18 points I think they're now 16 points ahead of Hart's and
42:3414 ahead of Hibbs that's just that's just a massive gap at this point I don't think you can
42:38afford to give anyone that sort of start and so I think Celtic, Aberdeen, Rangers will be
42:44you know your top three and then you know it's anyone from anyone you know for the European
42:50places and down the bottom because I think it's it's really I would expect Hibbs I thought they
42:54they looked good they've I think they'll start climbing the table but I think from fourth right
42:59down is you throw a blanket over them yeah I think Mullal deserve credit for the start they've had
43:04yeah absolutely I think they've started well and I think it can be just I think the opening months
43:11of a campaign can be pivotal and just setting a tone and just like setting a foundation for what's
43:18to come for the rest of the season it's almost like playing catch up for a position of where
43:22Hearts are now, Kilmarnock are now, you're trying to to regroup what you've lost in the opening
43:28week sometimes and it can start to get a bit frantic I think Derek McInnes touched on that
43:32they're like thinking you know just the atmosphere around the club I think oh you need to get this
43:37win now I think that's what that's what starts to happen and it starts to create a a desperation
43:44sometimes around performances I think whereas if you know you're on a fairly sound footing
43:50the converse is true that you start to play with a bit of confidence and a bit of relaxation
43:54as you're seeing with the likes of Motherwell with Aberdeen yeah absolutely okay thank you to
44:00so many of you who are basically posting your opinion on Scottish football and the individual
44:07teams involved we did they say a week's a long time in politics Ruffey a week ends a long time
44:13in Scottish football and politics because no sooner had there been a little leak of a potential of
44:20Scottish football maybe allowing the fans to have a drink at the games and getting some chief
44:25executives and chairman and owners excited about the prospect of getting some extra revenue in
44:30then it was quickly quashed and a dampener put on the potential for Scottish football fans to be
44:37allowed a drink apart from obviously the situation which is ongoing at the moment with hospitality
44:44we asked a few fans over the course of the weekend about lifting that booze ban
44:50yeah I'd welcome it you know as long as you know do it on an experimental basis and
44:55see how it goes and as long as everybody behaves properly and drinks sensibly then yeah I think
45:02it'd be a good move yeah yeah I mean with the facilities we've got here and stuff and
45:07I think there'll be an opportunity for some revenue for the clubs and
45:11I don't think there's a real issue there with you know crowds and whether that would have a
45:18negative impact on behaviour I think it'd be fine I'm of a certain age I remember it and I remember
45:22when it was banned I think that I think it would be good financially for some of the clubs
45:29you know I think we're the only country left internationally that's no drinks allowed you
45:36know got England and it works and they've got bigger troubles crowd troubles than than we ever
45:40had so yeah as a revenue stream don't see an issue with it yeah I don't agree with the alcohol
45:47side of the proper because they've got enough today controlling some of the young fans through
45:52the days look everybody getting full of the games I know it'll generate money of that but
45:57enough's enough just leave it after it to my thing yeah I think it's about time I mean I don't drink
46:03myself but if you can have it in other sports why not football I mean and people do behave better
46:09these days good to see the boy taking his son to the game there isn't it
46:16but he made a he made a right good point you know listen it's dividing some people because
46:23of what's happened you and I mean I can remember the game Ruffy I was at the game I can remember
46:281980 and it was a really chilling frightening thing but life's moved on and I I think that we
46:36are in a situation where this is this is something that is a rule which is in basically for the
46:44wealthy people the people who can go to the rugby this is a this is a class situation here where
46:50basically they're not allowing people who go the common man is not allowed to go and have a drink
46:56at the football everybody operates under the same laws you can't have one for one and one for another
47:02everybody operates under the same laws if you go to a game you can have a drink if you misbehave
47:08you'll be arrested it should be the same at all the sports Tam and I went down and watched Liverpool
47:15we had a couple of glasses of wine obviously I had to carry Tam home but nevertheless
47:20we had a right good we had a right good time Liverpool fans weren't storming the pitch
47:25you know I think it's a disgrace yeah and you know it shouldn't be a small minority that ruins
47:32it for the you know the vast majority obviously 1980 I wasn't even born so I mean I can't recall
47:39the incident you're talking about but obviously I've seen the clips and it's been banned since
47:43then drinking at the games but yeah you're right it's allowed at other sports it's allowed you
47:48know down in England why should people not be trusted at least give it a try and then if it's
47:53you know if people are misbehaving then you go right that's it done but you know
47:57go and put a wee bit of trust in people if people are misbehaving and then that's it done I don't
48:02even agree with that Ali we're in the 21st century if the horse is going to part again if you
48:08if you misbehave and you can't handle drink and you think it's a good idea to cause mayhem
48:15you're under arrest you go to jail if I go to the rugby and have a bevy and decide to cause mayhem
48:22I'm going to be arrested yeah it's a different culture though isn't it around it however what
48:27I would say is it doesn't really make any kind of difference because all that happens is people
48:33buy a carry out have a drink on the bus on the way up or have a few drinks before they go in
48:38sometimes take it in on and bottles or whatever like an empty coke bottle you're still it's still
48:44there it's not that it ever went away I think I'm just having a more sensible conversation about it
48:51as is necessary you know like 2024 like I think you can you can trust people to go and have a
48:58couple of pints a lot of people will be driving at games anyway and wouldn't be drinking a lot
49:02of people would choose not to drink a lot of people I spoke to actually on Saturday say I
49:07was surprised at the amount of people that said to me I don't drink at all wouldn't affect me
49:10don't drink but if someone else wants to have a pint then that's absolutely fine but
49:15I would agree with you I think the fact that it's allowed in other stadia for other sports
49:21it's ridiculous it's a nonsense yeah roughly seeing that see in the summer
49:26my wife and I were able to take she was able to have her usual you know red wine obviously
49:34we took it to stewards to help her bring the bottle in but the two of you have two
49:40southern comfort lemonades and then car to do it oh my god one can done he's slaughtering me
49:48because I don't like to drink too much I mean I had a beer and sitting watching the tennis
49:55yeah in the stadium and you know at Wimbledon at 15 quid at 15 quid you're kidding me
50:03it's just a class divide coming across now isn't it Peter
50:06had a beer like I'll have a pint of the game he's having a pimm's at Wimbledon
50:10the collar hit it in the head there is oh can we can we bank on people drinking sensibly
50:18people drink anyway people drink anyway and do more unfortunately for us there are an unknown
50:24quantity of people who don't drink sensibly and cause trouble if you right across the board as
50:28soon as that gets put in front of the police the police will go do you know what causes the most
50:33trouble after a game yeah did you have a drink when you're in the boardroom at pathetic thistle
50:37after the game or during the game and then no no no before the game and after the game
50:43not even a wee pint no a chase after the game after the game yeah if we want to yeah you can
50:54why do the police have a 12 o'clock kickoff for a Celtic dangers game
50:58it's to stop people drinking all day because it's a drink that ends up people in the hospital
51:04yeah because it was a five the mayhem of the late kickoff
51:09yeah five past six the 19th the shame game yeah or one of the shame games
51:13I think it should be trialed trialed I think it should be given a show let's see who behaves
51:19themselves who doesn't if you don't behave yourself then it gets banned at your club
51:24yeah yeah what as an individual basis yeah I must admit I have to say people have to abide by the law
51:32if you break the law right across the board you know you have to abide by the laws the laws are
51:38there as the laws of the land and you should be in a situation where clubs have the chance to
51:44increase their revenue fans have the responsibility to behave we've already been in a situation where
51:50this government has outed a number of people for misbehaviour and they are actually putting their
51:57names out and their pictures out on news programs so if you want to misbehave you just never get to
52:02go to a game again there's the penalty you're banned you're not going to go and see your
52:06favourite team you could potentially lose your job the implications now are far greater
52:12and I think I also think society has changed there is an element I can't quantify it but I think
52:18there is an element Ali who are still there who can't control their drink and I absolutely 100%
52:25get the concerns of the police on certain situations but if a rugby fan can't handle
52:31his drink and he causes mayhem he's arrested you know I would agree with you I also think too that
52:38it does go on it's still even if you have a 12 o'clock kickoff you'll have people drinking
52:44on the way to the game it doesn't magically go away it just means that you don't access alcohol
52:50while you're in the confines of the stadium and I think in terms of big games like Celtic Rangers
52:56games and you have the early kickoff to try and minimise it there's still issues in the evening
53:01at night time you've still got people out drinking but I think you've got to trust people
53:07I think you've got to try and educate people trust people to try and drink sensibly I think the
53:12culture around drink has changed too I'm not saying that it's that people don't go out and
53:20have a relationship with alcohol or maybe drink to excess but I think you'd be surprised at the
53:25amount of younger people that don't drink at all yeah absolutely listen lots of people have got
53:32their thoughts on it and thank you to so many of you for your thoughts on this if I was a Man Utd
53:38fan I'd want you know I'd be happy that you can drink at Old Trafford certainly certainly wouldn't
53:44want to watch you what they're thinking at the moment I can't believe he's still on the job I
53:49mean yeah not even the sending off obviously affects the game but even before that Spurs were
53:53absolutely destroying them I mean that could have been seven or eight nothing yesterday Spurs
53:57battered them and you look at the they've no real style of play in Man Utd they've no
54:04they just sign players they'd sign the striker the guys are key who look poor for 40 million
54:09the other guy come on Hoyland for 60 or 70 they just buy players and just throw them in and just
54:15expect something to happen yeah Spurs have got a way of playing you know I love I've always said
54:20this I love Ange Postekogl I love the way they play football Peter they're all out attack they're
54:25going to get to a few heavy doings when they come up against real quality but when they play like
54:30that when they're free-flowing they're brilliant to watch and yeah I'm surprised Ten Hag is still
54:35on the job I really am I think he's been a disaster for Man Utd yeah here's his take and
54:40Ange Postekogl's take on that game that Spurs won 3-0 I saw this that the players got very
54:47stressful after they conceded so quick a goal and they made very bad decisions on the ball
54:55where we had some options to play over and we should have done better this
55:00lads are outstanding I thought we showed real sort of belief and conviction in our football
55:08today and really aggressive in everything aggressive without the ball aggressive with the
55:14ball really positive in sort of our intent and yeah fantastic all-around performance
55:21yes Spurs were magnificent Roffy
55:23they were you know and to the end of the game he threw on a 17 year old and an 18 year old
55:28they're not frightened to give youngsters a chance yeah I just thought Man Utd were just a team of
55:35big names and not playing as a team just individuals they just don't they don't I don't
55:40think most of them know what it's like to pull on a Man Utd jersey whereas the past the players
55:46have pulled it on would know exactly what it feels like I just don't think they get it
55:51yeah I'll tell you another thing Ali I don't know if you think this is
55:54radical or not I'm going to offer it to you you can give me your opinion and the boys can give
56:00us opinion I think Ten Hag is not the man for Manchester United I think Jim Radcliffe and the
56:04board will need to look to someone else shortly but what I would also do we're talking about laws
56:10of the land I think the police should be given extra powers to go in and lift any fans who wait
56:18at the end to be on Sky Sports telly suffering I'm watching a guy who's a grown man he's about
56:2545 Ali this is him in the stand right he's got his head in his hands and he's going like this
56:30you know as if these world's collapsing because Man Utd have been pumped and if I think two
56:36officers should just come in and just say to him look they're the laws of the land get a grip of
56:41yourself you know you've got kids it's a game of football you're embarrassing yourself get up and
56:46get out and stop greeting it's a game of football and your team wins I mean have a word with it I
56:51think there's professional fans who sit and think I'll get on the telly I'll get on the telly I'll
56:56get on the telly I'll get on social media are you right Peter they'll just go up the road man
57:00just go up the road you get hammered just get home I thought you were going to say the police were
57:04going to go up and go there's a beer honestly it's a tough type of Man Utd fan you're obviously
57:11years older than me but I grew up with Alec Ferguson's team you know that that team that
57:15won the treble and the dominant dominant dominant team in English football and to see them the way
57:21they are now I just can't believe it and they're probably one of the biggest clubs in the world as
57:24well so it's just you do wonder he was at Sir Alex was at the game yesterday you think what am I
57:31watching here but by the way not only that he would go through the players he would be he would
57:36not suffer some of the big names he'd be they'd be out training that you know with the kids away
57:43somewhere else to get a real sense of what it's all about at Man Utd but the the other thing as
57:47well Ruffey which I can't that just sums it up Flanders is your captain exactly never a captain
57:54ever and just not only that but see when you cowardly tackle yesterday and all see if you're at
57:57game time Ruffey who leaves early I mean see if you're watching I don't know I don't even know as
58:03a fan if if you're watching your team getting pumped I'd still stay you're watching a game
58:10of football I've been I've been at Park End playing and I'd wished I could have left early
58:18That was Dixie Deans at his best anyway I mean apart from that honestly sitting in the stand
