0

17.547 - 24.955 Unknown

Good evening and welcome to Clyde One Super Scoreboard on a hugely busy day across Scottish football.

0

Chapter 2: What is the significance of the audio released by the Scottish FA?

25.315 - 43.133 Unknown

The Scottish FA release the audio from full-time Celtic against Hearts confirming the match was ended by referee Don Robertson. Martin O'Neill hits back at Tony Bloom's assault claims saying that is yet to be proven and Jens Bertolascu has left Motherwell unscathed.

0

43.113 - 63.231 Unknown

for Toulouse I'm Gordon Duncan and joining me tonight you've got Scott Allen and Gordon DL and my goodness if you two thought you were in for a quiet gentle Thursday night to end off the season you were wrong yeah it's not happening the fallout from the weekend rumbles on more information tonight Gordon as you say the SFA

0

63.211 - 92.577 Gordon Duncan

I brought out the video and it'll be interesting to see what people think of that and also we've missed out on the fact that we've got some fantastic important games starting tonight Partick Thistle St Mirren in the playoff for the Premiership and then we'll look forward to the Cup Final and then we finish an exciting season on Monday at Paisley who will be in the Premier League will St Mirren retain their status or will it be Partick Thistle under Mark Wilson well

0

92.557 - 118.125 Gordon Duncan

well Martin O'Neill won a double so it's incredible and then on top of that we've had the Scotland World Cup squad being announced nah see that was deliberate from me I thought I'll leave unplanned as well from me and you obviously just in the same wavelength I'll leave the playoff out the headlines and you'll fill it in because you're a student of the game yeah but I can't believe you've not picked me up the biggest saddest news ever we're losing a manager

0

118.342 - 139.672 Gordon Duncan

Oh, Jens. You said that? No. Thanks for listening. But I didn't bring it up. You know, I'm devastated. I couldn't believe it. I was sitting in the office and I was told. And everybody thought there was an opportunity if Martin O'Neill didn't carry on at Celtic, he would take over, keep him in Scotland, exciting football. So it's been a bad, bad day for Motherwell as well.

139.872 - 141.114 Gordon Duncan

That's just the season we've had.

141.174 - 146.982 Unknown

How many talking points can you cram into one Thursday night show? You're not even usually on on a Thursday. You better step up to the plate here.

146.962 - 172.716 Jens Bertelasku

I think obviously the biggest talking point will be the audio and I think it's quite relevant that it's been in response to obviously Hartsey's statement that we've seen this week the SFA have obviously got out there and I think it's going to be really interesting to see what the punters think tonight when they phone in but it looks quite conclusive to me that there was agreements there of both sides he had to rat Jen's leave and I think it's a massive loss to this country and the football that we've seen this season he's been

172.696 - 180.365 Jens Bertelasku

it really has been a breath of fresh air and then we look at that playoff for the Premiership Thistle and St Mirren going to be brilliant Where to start?

Chapter 3: How has Jens Berthel Askou's departure affected Motherwell?

319.981 - 339.14 Gordon Duncan

and then they go to obviously St Mirren on Monday and it's a place that they won't fear because the last time they pitched up there they played very well lost a penalty kick that a lot of people to this day still argue about and I'm one of them lost a game did you think it was a penalty?

0

339.16 - 345.246 Jens Bertelasku

I did at the time yeah I only had one replay I remember at the time going oh that's a difficult one but I'm with you on the night

0

345.226 - 372.229 Gordon Duncan

they were excellent so they will fancy it but listen St Minnes got in with a little bit of form they found that little bit of form that edge that they just needed before this game they couldn't go in they needed a bit of momentum I think that a full house tonight I think that's a cracker and I really want just a nice gentle feel good story I had visions of squeezing it in the headlines somewhere we Scotland have got a Europa League winning captain

0

372.209 - 389.931 Unknown

joining us heading to the World Cup in the summer what about that John McGinn your former team mate St Mirren Hibs down to Villa in the Championship what a fairy tale incredible and obviously I spent my time with him at Hibs and he was a one player out of that especially that Hibs squad and there was a lot of good players in it who I felt

0

389.911 - 414.906 Jens Bertelasku

when he was going down south that he had all the capabilities to go and do did I expect him to be captain and go and do lift Europa Leagues probably not but it's just a testament to his character and what a player and what a story is he coming on here tonight no I thought you said he was joining us I said joining us as in Scotland at the World Cup I thought we were getting on I'm worried about you too you're the man you gave him a text anyway I think he might be

414.886 - 435.358 Unknown

nursing a headache 01419511025 that is the number that you need so please do get in touch there is so much happening let's kick off with the Scottish FA issuing a statement and audio of the final moments of that game between Celtic and Hearts there's obviously been much conjecture about it this week

435.338 - 451.479 Unknown

It probably was speeded up, accelerated in light of Hearts issuing a statement yesterday saying that they noted a potential precedent being set about fans coming onto the pitch and the game ending and so on.

451.499 - 464.215 Unknown

So the Scottish chef issued a statement saying they note that and that they spoke about the chief governance officer, Gary Booth, head of refs, Willie Collum, VAR manager, Martin Atkinson, reviewed all the audio visual footage, uh,

464.195 - 492.767 Unknown

on Monday at the club's request it was agreed the meeting would be conducted privately but recent statements have compelled us to consider the public interest in providing clarification and chronology to that end we are happy to publish the relevant audio visual footage and here it is now happy defender header for me looks good okay well there's no goalkeeper it was clearly on half and stuff wasn't it yeah we'll check it

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the pitch invasion during the Celtic v Hearts match?

499.794 - 504.103 Martin O'Neill

Clear header. We've got the time. There's no foul there.

0

509.212 - 514.182 Unknown

Don, it's Kevin. Confirming on-field decision of goal. Check complete. You're nearly...

0

516.49 - 534.982 Scott Allan

Hearts are happy to finish, Don. Hearts are happy to finish. Derek McInnes has told me they're happy to finish. So they can get their players off. They want their players off the pitch. Hearts want their players off. Is it finished? Yeah, it's finished. Confirming the game is finished.

0

535.503 - 536.685 Jens Bertelasku

Yeah, confirming the game is finished.

0

Chapter 5: How are the playoff games shaping up for Partick Thistle and St Mirren?

536.705 - 538.127 Jens Bertelasku

We're just watching some of the images.

0

540.25 - 560.288 Gordon Duncan

Yeah, it's plain to hear, obviously. And it was interesting to hear that, you know, Derek McInnes, the Hearts manager, was happy to finish the game. Yes, you can argue the point. Maybe Derek looked and thought, I want to get my players off of there. But I think the wording's there, Gordon. The game is finished.

0

560.409 - 586.013 Unknown

The Scottish FA have added a bit of detail, Scott, which is important just for the avoidance of doubt. It says that the... Sorry, it talks about the game ending at 9.807, so beyond the eight minutes added on by the time the goal was in. It also says that the laws of the game require the referee to signal the end of the match, but do not prescribe the method of that signal, i.e.

0

586.333 - 594.523 Unknown

you do not have to blow the whistle. You just need to say that it's over, essentially. You heard the end of that clip. Satisfied, that's what took place.

0

594.503 - 614.014 Jens Bertelasku

yeah I think for me when he says about hearts are happy Derek McInnes is happy at the same time though I think when you're a Derek McInnes in that situation there's so much going on round about you it's quite easy to get caught up and you want your players off so there's a lot of day factors in it from a hearts point of view but I think that is clear as day for me that we're happy for the game to end Barry's on the line hi Barry

616.964 - 641.46 Unknown

Oh he's disappeared Right at the crucial moment For goodness sake Just about to bring him in And get his thoughts Anyone else want to have their say? 01419511025 Try and get him lined back up Is he there? I think he is Barry sorry Take it away Barry It's a slow start This is a slow start Barry can you hear us? Oh, for goodness sake.

641.5 - 659.897 Gordon Duncan

What are you thinking? You want to elaborate on your thoughts? Well, I think what Barry's thinking. No, I think that obviously you'll look at it and some people will still argue the point that, you know, the pitch invasion. We don't want to see that. Of course we don't. We've been through that since last weekend.

Chapter 6: What are the latest updates on Martin O'Neill's managerial future?

659.877 - 682.088 Gordon Duncan

but if you're hearing the audio tonight and it'll be interesting that you know Derek McInnes was saying that you know he's quite happy to finish the game Gordon Hart's were happy to finish the game we've heard it there's nothing hidden there there's absolutely nothing hidden I think what the crucial point is though what the crucial point because remember this should he have should he have to say happy though because they're invaded but that's

0

682.068 - 711.501 Jens Bertelasku

I think this is I pre-emptied this I could see that coming I think people are missing the point what the real debate has been is was the game ended or was it not so that's really what they're trying to establish yeah that's understandable yeah well it sounds from the from the audio that you hear by all by all parties there that were happy for the game to end I think that's clear as day that one but I do understand the take which a lot of fans will have is that's forced upon you because of the invasion Barry is on the line now hopefully Barry can you hear us

0

712.73 - 720.571 Unknown

Oh, for goodness sake. Seriously, what is going on? Somebody's winding us up. Barry, last chance. No. Barry, no more. It's just gone.

0

720.591 - 725.946 Gordon Duncan

We need to get rid of Barry. Yeah, yeah. We need to get rid of Barry. The phone lines are blown up.

0

727.192 - 748.12 Gordon Duncan

you told me to just keep talking then until we can sort this out well it's very hard because I think we've gave her an opinion on what we thought about the audio we've gave her opinions on the games tonight we're just waiting for the people to give their opinion and disagree with us and argue with us and tell us exactly what the right opinion is so come on Barry something

748.1 - 767.644 Unknown

telling about the fact that you know the Scottish Sheffield obviously felt they had to do this in light of Hibs Hibs Hart's statement yesterday obviously felt there was kind of nothing to hide it's not like they were you know worried that there wasn't a sign in there that the game was over they're obviously more than happy to kind of have it published

767.776 - 789.463 Jens Bertelasku

Yeah and it shows you when you really want a response so that something doesn't snowball into something that's not then you have the audio there that then maybe puts some minds at ease but I do feel at the time there would be so much frustration heat the moment for Derek McKinnish when you see that ultimately losing on the last day to Celtic to lose a title that way would be really frustrating and then

789.443 - 813.882 Unknown

to be part of an invasion that then you just want your players off the pitch so there was so many factors within it but I think that the main point is what you just said Gordon touched on was the game ended it was because don't get me wrong Gordon of course it is a minimum of the of 8 minutes but that they've tried to clarify that in the statement as well and saying that the match clock doesn't stop when a goal is scored so the match footage shows when

813.862 - 819.829 Unknown

When you hear it on the audio, when Don Robertson says that yes, the game is over, the clock is at 9 to 8.07.

Chapter 7: How does John McGinn's success impact Scottish football?

820.55 - 830.662 Unknown

So again, just a nod to that sort of accusation, if you like, that the game was brought to an early finish because of it. This is their way of trying to clarify that that was not the case.

0

830.682 - 835.127 Gordon Duncan

Probably even the scenario, Gordon, if the pitch invasion didn't happen, the Minute Hearts took the...

0

835.107 - 855.276 Unknown

The kick off But that's what I mean You maybe don't even take Because I'm trying to remember See you in the Denmark night When Kenny McLean lobs one in Yes Did they even kick off? No I don't think so I don't think they do Could be wrong Could be wrong I think maybe in those circumstances Good question I'll go and watch it back Is Kevin on hopefully? Our phone line's broken Kevin can you hear us?

0

857.99 - 859.652 Unknown

I'm just going up the road.

0

859.752 - 868.302 Gordon Duncan

I'm going up the road, seriously. He's standing next to Barry. Not like it's a quiet night out there on the phone. It's absolutely lighting up like nobody's business. Do you want our opinion again?

Chapter 8: What are the potential managerial options for Celtic following the season?

869.944 - 876.052 Gordon Duncan

I'm going to throw something in the mix here. Am I right in saying that all the Rangers supporters support Celtic in the cup final?

0

876.072 - 905.833 Unknown

I wonder if that's... We don't really need any more talking points tonight, quite frankly. Because obviously the European places... The Rangers drop down Anyway 01419511025 We're not at break time anyway Let's take a break And we'll get your calls on With any luck when we return What a night on Clyde One Super Scoreboard because we have got stories coming out of our ears.

0

905.873 - 928.479 Unknown

The audio released confirming the game was ended at Celtic Park at the weekend. Jens Bertalasku has left Motherwell, not for Celtic, for Toulouse. Scottish Cup final in a couple of days. Some big comments from Martin O'Neill and a Premiership playoff tonight and the phone lines aren't working. Yeah, it's just what a place to be. We try again. Gary in Dunoon, can you hear us? No!

0

928.499 - 935.162 Unknown

Are you kidding on? You turn double time between now and the end of the show, surely. I'll phone you.

0

935.851 - 959.968 Gordon Duncan

go and you run outside and FaceTime us and we can get your mug on that big screen do you know it's typical of this season how things have went right and wrong even we're getting dragged into the chaos even we're getting dragged into the chaos you're right on a Thursday night everything that's happened today the World Cup squad the massive games that are coming up and unfortunately our phone lines are what do you make of Jen's going to Toulouse?

959.948 - 976.118 Unknown

a mid-table team in a top five league is probably quite a decent step I don't think he's getting a top I don't think he's getting a mid-table job in a top two or three league is he so they are you know with their recruitment though the sporting director signs all the players

976.756 - 996.317 Gordon Duncan

Jens can do anything with any player doesn't matter he signed a lot of the other players that were specific for how he played and look at the ones that were already there and what he did to them agreed you just wonder if that's a blow to some Celtic fans I know that obviously it'll be interesting to see Martin O'Neill's situation at the end of the season but

996.5 - 1007.563 Gordon Duncan

Would that be a possibility for Celtic fans? Would love to have seen him at Celtic Park. Could you think about the quality of the player, and we're not taking him away from Motherwell, what he could have brought to that team?

1008.084 - 1030.725 Unknown

And will we ever find out if there was any contact from Celtic, what stage that got to? etc because I'd heard some other fans hoping that maybe you know he'll probably leave but you never know you know the way the summer can work he might still be there for the first Europa the European qualifier he might go after it's the 21st of May there is no hanging about there you wonder if
