It's right that we will go ahead and course Paul come back I do think there's a good case for getting on with the Queen's speech anyway most do that but the most important thing is we get on and never brought it on October 31st and this clearly a the claimants in this case are determined to try to defraud straight that into and to stop that I think it is very unfortunate if Parliament made that objective which of the people want delivered more difficult but what will go. No but a raft of politicians have no call for the prime minister to resign including the Labor leader Genom a carbon the Lib Dem leader Joe Swanson the 1st Minister Nicola Sturgeon I think in light of this judgement to be a prime minister with any or not would tender his resignation we've got a prime minister who's been thrown by the Supreme Court to have acted unlawfully for the reasons or for no good reason and to have a prime minister continue in office in the circumstances I think it's unthinkable So lots to discuss let's speak to political journalist James Kosik and talk of the Daily Record Westminster given to both teller and James obviously unprecedented scenes unexpected very judgment from the court but does it change anything I mean it does I think what we just heard from from Boris Johnson there that it was the leave claimants to blame in some way kind of messes the entire point of a lengthy judgement by a unanimous judgment by all Supreme Court by the by Supreme Court justices I mean impeached Where were their verdict on what they actually say is the conduct of politicians are arises that arises from a matter of political controversy has never been sufficient reason for the courts refused to consider it and they also say that the prime minister came to Bill if you to Parliament does not itself justify the conclusion that the courts have a legitimate role to blame but that's got nothing to do with remain or anything else it's got to do with the rule of law and it must have been a rude awakening I think for Boris Johnson and presumably problems for those who advised them that this was a legal course of action but the same question then do you talk change anything well I after clear with Jim these are devastating words from the Supreme Court or you know we all saw there was a kind of deep kind of exhale of breath when a lady heals it unlawful void and of noise and shit because I mean but. Ok Nicholas sturgeon is right it's the biggest was just to start a constitutional court ruling will. All or lifetimes coming back on they're going to come back tomorrow what's going to happen then how does that to want anything someone has to utter these fetal words to voters Johnson tomorrow morning good morning planet Earth. As the shell a motor was 1st class carbon on not over night out red eye flight from from New York along you know New York to London flight which anyone has ever come off it I read I ignored you don't get a good night good night sleep I suspect you would have a good night's sleep for many nights to come he was going he's going to thrown in humiliation to model in Parliament kid probably of his aides will be suggesting to you right know that that he shooter addressed the nation probably tea time to time get up the news agenda they'll they'll invented they'll be doing overnight pulling right now and turning street I'll be fine and what what'll I do take. He lashed out at me. T.d. But in all honesty this there's so many enemies around you know these things snowballing so so quickly that all it can do is if he's wise is welcome the quality of the court in Sisters he did today that he wants to get a deal pretend that he wants to unify the Clintons it would let you can do good to him because if. We're going to talk. In normal to it any times you would expect him to walk the plank employer would think and I think that's understood we all expect that but the fact is that seems to be able to just soak up that sort of. Criticism. Well I think it looks like at the moment I mean he's basically said that you know the Supreme Court ruling would make it harder to get a break that deal but you know we've got over the past couple of weeks that despite the banner you know the they are passed by parliament which means if you don't get a deal by the 1920 need to seek an extension he continues to behave as if he's going to ignore that particular law and I think what you know the supreme go. Judgment that today he is reminded them that I mean if he continued or attempt to even disregard the law then you know he's facing presumably all the all the justice ministers and he's and his government would need to resign a large part of the cabinet would resign the civil service would go on strike you cannot advice politicians to break the law and I mean I think there is territory here that the prime minister prior to today thought that he could occupy successfully and he could wage this people versus parliament War I I think to be lots of the avenues open to him have all been closed down and I think he's going to need to seek the advice of. Finish this quickly talk what he's going to seek the advice of of of officers not of what I can survival or get round but does this be the law and that's the Sea Change the day before you come and talk to let me just bring in Brian Taylor political editor as well your thoughts Yeah a couple of things and we heard support for Johnson from one source which is President Trump he says he knows I know I don't know whether it's good news for the beleaguered prime minister or not the President Trump says he knows he knows but as Johnson he's going nowhere I think an intriguing comment as goes well as come on this business of where we go next Rory Stewart of course is to the leadership against ballers Johnson says this is the end of the no deal strategy it's as though they were obviously pursuing No Deal actively they were seeking that not happening before October 31 he called that a mad trumpy and world and he thinks it's the end there's another little thought before we move in this way it's interesting. That I remember when the when the middle report came out and the Trump administration were given an you know an advance stating over and they got in 1st and said that the president was clear there was no collusion and there was nothing to be involved and I thought actually Steve because your head of the g. Was effectively doing much the same thing today he was saying enough. Into aria by you know that this this was this was you know this was a Ok opera fine political implication we must uphold parliamentary democracy and then went on to blame something else so I think Brian you know there is something trumping about this but I don't think it's not going traction though as it has no traction yet in a way that I think Trump got away with I don't that Boris Johnson is going to get all you will feel you don't need you'd only as good as you'd opposition and he's very lucky isn't defeatist Johnson and the opposition is splintered and divided carbon 100 gifts to be a real gift to platform speech today but then really push the motion of conference he won't really have action we have John McDonald the shadow chancellor saying just recently it's up to that it's primarily up to the conservatives to act he say's that Labor will hold talks with the other opposition parties on this very program we had he and like from the s.n.p. Demanding a motion of confidence is that John McDonnell says it's primarily up to the Tories to act to get rid of dollars Johnson that doesn't make any sense doesn't it make sense if you don't want to hold a general election in the next couple of weeks because you fear you might get humped I mean it makes big sense in that way you know what the public are so volatile and so uncertain and so disquieted by all of these things nobody can be sure of the outcome I guess in Scotland the s.n.p. Would be fairly confident of the of doing pretty well but across the u.k. As a whole nobody can really be sure of the outcome but as Johnson says he will fight a cow or if it comes to it will fight a campaign of the people versus the parliamentary constraints placed upon him but the people might just say well hang on a 2nd you guys brought this upon you Nigel Farage is saying the ball is Johnson's in real trouble there we are there we go but Mr French is also saying that an extension is no likely because the the approach pursued by doning Street has been to use his words catastrophic now it could be the case that Nigel Farage is who is hoping for that for the interest of his own party because in the u.k. General election fought where bricks it has not been obtained he can now say that by. As Johnson's and Reed drop real trouble in the sympathizers during the election you might well say they promised they would get you out they promised they would get this done they haven't got it done vote for me yeah I'm on the other hand if that is a new deal Blake said his goose is cooked and the Lib Dems Fox is shot James well. I think that's I'm not certain about that I think there is still you know more than buying any changes to be made between or I hate I mean I buy the idea that the night of Friday and the great party desperately want nothing to happen between now and October 31st is that what breaks it or they don't want record to happen right and I think that's part of the reason that Boris Johnson was elected in the 1st place as the leader of the Conservative Party he was the guy who promised that he would nullify the breaks of Party's. Position and I mean I've shared over the past couple of weeks from very high sources inside the break the party that they're already speaking about. And Alexion deal because the nor the expected new deal was never going to happen they that's that's how I think this this doesn't become a binary choice because if it's a combination of the break the party in the Tory party then that's not quite just the but there's not a few folks to shorten that equation Here's another little tiny thought. To many for a lot of money but I don't know no no no I don't metaphors for this side of the table but look at the other side of the Atlantic those comments from from Donald Trump Mr Trump of course has has faced challenges from the legislative side of the American Constitution he's also faced challenges and there's a lot there's almost a standing challenge from the Supreme Court One wonders whether just possibly the Supreme Court ruling today unanimous and finding against the government does it make them more into the political sphere and it would it would it make perhaps the choice of Supreme Court justices in the future even more political than in the company is would we be seeing confirmation hearings in the House of Commons There's want to check into the law that will do. I think so our final thought is is that is that the lesson that bottle Johnson will to confront the soft lunatic back across the Atlantic one is not to be code by the courts he will he will Deegan he will lean in place forwards to model the That'll be use instinct in a way it's pollution stink and it'll be advice to him to try and seize control to modify and wrest back a little of the gains on top of the agenda to talk about every day and talk and when he does go to Brussels what exactly is the standing in his influence and I think that that will be another thing that deeply damages him from today's result and Brian more theater tomorrow more theaters tomorrow the House of Commons returning the House of Lords returning as well to. As the opposition parties are putting into place the u.k. Government under scrutiny incredible pressure upon Mr Johnson coming not just from opposition leaders but also coming to some extent from his own side but I agree with a view taken there that he will attempt to be bullish he will attempt to borrow a phrase from another day to take back control and find work always with the last word. But until or and talk and present thank you all very much for one Supreme Court another the Spanish Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that the remains of the dictator General Frankel can be moved from a state mausoleum to an ordinary cemetery it rejected an appeal by his family spin socialist government argues Gen Frank was grandiose tomb in the hills near Madrid is a magnet for present day fascists a correspondent in Madrid guy heads go give me more details the court ruling came about because the family of Francisco Franco his grandchildren had appealed a few months back against a plan by the socialist governments to carry out this exhumation of Franco's remains now the the socialist government has been trying to do this for the last year or so this exhumation and it keeps being delayed it's been delayed for several reasons. Mainly legal and bureaucratic and the most recent problem it has had has been this appeal by the Franco family who said it shouldn't go ahead the body should not be moved. They also said that if the exhumation should go ahead then they wanted the body to be moved to a crypt beneath Almudena Cathedral in central Madrid and that was a big worry for the Spanish government in the Supreme Court's ruling it rejected by see the appeal against the exhumation and it also rejected the Franco family's claim that the body should be moved to beneath that cathedral go ahead school in Madrid after this program the choice of listening on f.m.

Under real scrutiny and we would be the last 11 in the season is really disappointing we are in danger of real danger and only seen what is what's happening and. You know last year we lost managers lose our jobs in August it used to be at least October November before people would even question and it's disappointing for me when I see some others under so much pressure so in the season meanwhile hearts Sundays at radar we went over had burning at Easter Road has alleviated some of the gleam circulating above the Tynecastle club which saw them set at the bottom of the Premiership with no victories but ahead of tomorrow's tie living and says he does not feel the pressure has yet lifted from him one swallow does make us emotional we want to do them not celebrate and celebrate on.

Week at b.b.c. Sports. Parts turned a corner more like a fine castle and can Livingston get the better of Steven Gerrard Rangers get a hold joins us live on the field a packed hour coming up on sports and sports on the b.b.c. Evening News Scotland. Yes good evening and a very warm welcome to sports and with me Jonathan Sutherland and the studio today Well usually it's the new Partick Thistle manager in McAllen it used to but he's had the last minute can you believe it so in its place the Partick Thistle legend and current era United striker the man McCall brought the Somerset Park I think those 2 clubs take a few boxes certainly tonight Chris do and with those in the studio this evening and also weathers the captain of call monic football club Gary get your thoughts and to see in the studio it takes 8 or to 9 by tweet at b.b.c. Sports and I was going to start off tonight by asking Ian McCall 1st today in the job how did it go. So I might as well ask you Chris Doohan 1st day in the job a united with him a call as manager how did that go it was business as usual to be honest you know scientists troops they can train and been assisted by Mark. And a good with General nothing's really changed so far. Which keeps players happy because you know all that continuity. As good and hopefully keep momentum going but you know it will be a massive loss to the club it was not there but. You know hopefully someday Stewart and mark out can keep results coming in all seriousness yes how much of a loss Well even the call be to make it because I know you and you know you're going to go way back yeah of course you know it's a massive impact to my career and it was the man that brought me a particular school and a half 11 years ago no. Source even since then since day one you know either by the impact on me as a person and and as a player also and it's kinda ironic that my career went through softball and end up back playing for them in 88 and then when I only had no reason way back by the dozen or so but you know as I was always come in the united in the summer simply because he's a massive attraction Yeah I was the last 24 hours been like your United Press I'm sure. You know told Moylan tales of people want to know who's who's coming and if things are going to change. As far as we know you know they're going to leave open to the applications for the next couple weeks and so managers can get the c.v.s. And I'm guessing then you know the chairman Lachlan combo set the tone and look through who has actually put a c.v. And choose who he thinks is that month which will get a decade as big shoes to fill we've got you McCall in here most Tuesday nights you were with us just a couple of weeks ago. Yeah it's a big it's a big big big shoes to fill it united Yeah definitely as I think it's a bit different as well in a situation when you're doing well and you get a change in that change can be difficult but the job he's done since he's gone and they're probably surprised he probably hasn't been one to order jobs a bit sooner probably left he's obviously got history with them as he said and I think it was you know if you go back there to club should be a not league ball it's a tough league to get out of I mean. Obviously the macaw you know is very much God's heart in media and he's lived in the area for so long Christian I mean you talked yesterday and I know you had that last night on sports and just about kind of the emotional pool of Partick Thistle something I'm sure you can understand yeah I can understand obviously I was there for 10 a half years Israel you don't hang out in these clubs if a club doesn't mean anything to him and I know you know him a whole lives close by he's got the same kind of affection for the club so. I think when when they came calling and we found it very very difficult and he took his team to make decision but it was a call from to make is obviously been very loyal to United and he's basically transformed the club. I think you seen as a fish challenge going to party 1st when no. You know like I say that was put on his heartstrings Riba on him but you know in my mind these 100 percent that a person to be back at the club to put things right well that's I mean you talk about the board challenge and how big a challenge as you got in his hands at Partick Thistle because clearly things have not been going at all well bottom of the championship of the Gary Caldwell let go of last week yeah it's a big challenge for him and I can say he's definitely a person for the job because you meet these challenges head on and he's a good man manager which I think will be very important when he was back in the club you know a lot of players devoid of confidence need man managed really and you know he's he's the person to do that you can do with the way you display as to the quietest players and he doesn't just treat them all the same and you know he's from that fear and I think players actually respond well to that and you know hopefully I'm sure to have a positive impact all around the club you're bound to stay in touch with people at parties as well because of course you are how are people at that club right now yeah definitely in fact top and I think it's unhappy people with a world that would get a sense of rate through the club. Who are unhappy and coming to work which was just shouldn't happen you know why is that I think you know when the clubs struggle in results everybody takes that. You know I think things progress and they don't seem to pick up just seems to spit you know and as unhappy in a split team and I scored just quickly fly straight through the club why do you think it then what got be called will. I mean it was a multitude of reasons I would think but you know as I gave that man management part as I think is very important and God He was a great coach and no one knows most football and say they just he just couldn't get a foot to go in the patch and all and hopefully you know when to MCO comes on him he will someplace I things and get the team back playing and enjoying football again because I think a lot of those players the other play better than when I'm in the relaxed and when they're enjoying the football and I'm sure that's exactly what we're going into God You play to many clubs I'm sure you in June 3rd and enjoyed many different scenarios as a player and you've obviously played under many managers sometimes happy times sometimes not so happy times how difficult can it be when you know Malawi's laws maybe there's like disconnect between the players and the manager and is as crystal in you know I don't happy place yet it's a lonely place as well sometimes a player and some players might get a lift off as well having been involved. It can be called I think change as you said you can get stale sometimes and I think last year he struggled a bit as well and then he ended a season didn't really get Conan and brought again into this season so I can opt for different reasons but I think. The players probably I think now so it's been more of a you know believe in what you're working on and what you're going to do on a Saturday and. It can just affecting slowly slowly get worse and I just said you dread going into training you dread games and everything affects it happened a bit here I tell Mark when we were there we had one and for our sake and you got a new manager in and you can give the place a lift and what it sounds viz got a personality that can lift people up and give them. Give them the Roi information and simple information is probably the best word you can use it's not easy start obviously at Celtic Park airtime or an a in the League Cup We'll get to that in a 2nd just to talk a little bit more about your United Press as you mentioned at the start of the sure there you expect maybe the the appointment of Unocal successor to be done maybe in a couple of weeks time actually Lachlan Cameron obviously the chairman of a united I think he's in the States at the moment yeah and I think it is true Tom that in 2 weeks' time and as far as we know you know and the next 2 to 3 games Sunday will monitor the team and be assisted by market and you know I don't see anything changing over the next at least 2 weeks until the chairman returns and like a sieve set stone with each board and makes a proper decision as to who gets the job next how crucial has Sunday Stuart been in terms of air United's success in recent times Sunday even though you know ever since I came the club in the summer you can see what's very real worth you Michael you know boy and they keep things simple you know training is as enjoyable but you know it's as simple and I think for as Guy says some things that simple information as best and everybody plays the game if you need to with a smile on her face which is a stark contrast in or to some other teams or I think it's important that Sunday continues and I'm sure you know because that's that's the way as is a good coach Israel. You know like I say that Fosse day to day it felt like nothing much has changed him only you know in Michael wasn't here as that forgot had bought him you know in 2 weeks' time the be another person and they are taking that job I guess inevitably presumably. Would want the job and I guess over the next couple of weeks he's got the perfect opportunity to sure they can just keep things. Tom in all of our eyes they have been alienated successfully Yeah and I think you know Sandy and Mark. Could do well together only to say that they know the club the both been there a long time they know the ins and outs of the club they're well liked only club so I think all these things go in the favor. And some things you know you're better with what you know and the people you know at the club because you know some things your successes but what in these going up people and him it's important that you know Sandia and Mark cared kept up to the any information that comes to the boardroom because you know they've been great for the club and they've been part of that success the MCO over the last 5 years as well and I guess what you're saying the players would be right for that continuity to continue absolutely you know what you know I can only speak for only came in the door and they saw my board and why change things when it's going so well you know you don't want to rock the boat too much. But you know I'm sure the chairman comes back and 2 weeks in here we can see who set the tone and who knows who will put on the man for the job because it's going to be a very attractive job you know certain joint top of the Championship and will be very attractive to a number of managers and him you know I'm sure the law can come in will be interested to see just what kind of c.v.s. Come across is this it's interesting just to tie this bar in you know Chris is talking about who you know everything is kept simple air united in terms of the coaching and all that and it just remains to be a lot of what you guys used to see of Steve Clark's style of call monic keeping things simple and obviously quite often that can have a well I get a effect Yeah I think I think nowadays I think everyone wants to be different or do something new or. With the t.v. Now you've seen so many clips and so many games being on always and what teams are working on etc So I think people have gone away at it from the old skill values Radia of. Simplicity of playing the game and knowing your role and know where to be in a certain way and I think it slowly probably come on back in a little bit more I think obviously have a more experience and players in the team Chris said can help as well and we had a there are a good balance of old and young it comes from the top as you said you've got some explaining it and can't get any easier than not when someone has given you all the information you need the most complicated the simplest You're listening to sports and with the Jonathan Sutherland joined this evening by the C'mon it Captain Gary Decker and the area like this striker Chris do and we're going to be talking about all the League Cup quarter finals very soon get in touch with your thoughts text 80 to 95 and tweet b.b.c. Sports and goals the sending off for the mileage of I have to look after myself if you. Don't believe I want to cause a challenge was 7 after a round of drama and some closely contested ties the Scottish League Cup continues but which teams will make it to the semifinals Celtic this is part successful cool morning verses have Bernie in parts this is for deep and Livingston vs Ranger use sports open all my the Scottish League Cup quarter finals. To move from 630 on digital radio 820 medium wave I'm on line b.b.c. Radio Scotland Yes The Scottish football drama never truly stops for huge League Cup quarter finals tomorrow night on sports own it's hard Howard Dean at Tynecastle call monic Habs at Rugby Park Celtic this Partick Thistle at Celtic Park and Livingston at home to Rangers will get through the talking points of all 4 matches thanks as you views unable to name by tweet that b.b.c. Sports own who will make it through to the semifinals 1st up heads away to call monic the Easter Road side desperate for a result after that Edinburgh Darby defeat to Hearts protests afterwards of course we had Evan welsh on last night talking about As for years of relegation for heads from the Premiership this season I want to hear from the heads boss Paul hacking bottom who today began by reflecting back on Sunday. We. Believe that the outage is your idea to get up this yourself down and go again you know I'm a huge game for us tomorrow one game away from London in a semifinal and so with to be ready for it in terms of. Being the change approach for mass both of the players in terms of me lead in doing a d. Brief as it was. You know on on trying to get the plays to take your ownership sponsibility step up so we just prepared something for them to see in terms of the brief discussion points on the game good and bad but wanted them to lead on it you know now is probably only. 10 minutes of clips that into being together well over an hour you know and I think that's really important because we want to warn encourage that amongst them in terms of the name together but in any people step you know people taking responsibility so the something they're going to have to really push I think can get really aggressive with in terms of what we expect not just performance but intend to be a this is one result easy will do trying to get through the system but we're all concerned yet because listen in terms of the game that there's been games where lots more has gone wrong and I was chased away that Bush was the a was was was was was he was he was that is we were putting the little details on Sunday to let him take quick free kicks which in a free shot corner. And you know from a game where in terms of the idea of the other 2 dab is that we've been involved in I'm still on the sideline really comfortable over one nailing just thinking about how we put this game to bed and I said all those little lapses are really costing us when you look over cliffs and. We're deliberately provocative in the world with you what's going to turn to read as we speak all the time all the time so it's not a case of. Good results bad results we speak all the time and I think that's one of the strands about about this club really. You know that there's nothing different we always know where we are always not trying to do and that's not been any different at all Brian McLaughlin with the questions there for Paul hacking bottom he's talking about a change of approach players taken more ownership responsibility they viewed the game it was at the brief but big. Dahlan job basically right away for them got a deck against your slate a Rugby Park a place where heads obviously give a crop or just 10 days ago yeah I think it's obvious it's a massive game for ball clubs ball I think if you look at why hips of the on the money they've spent probably the players they've signed this year I think. They're expected to get the semifinals or a foreigner for those it's a great opportunity to get their ball why we're looking at all the pressures on them you know we're home desperate for a win and it's up to them to come out and actually get some hopefully we'll do our game plan we played them not so long ago which helps where the sounds of it is probably going to change a team up so they're wounded as well so we'll be expecting a tough game was a depression all going to be on them we had a Welsh on the shore last night he was talking about the game would come on have to know he fell it could have been a what was perhaps that name would you agree with that I think Forest office pretty even I think wasn't much in it but then I think 2nd half we scored and we took control of it was quite comfortable I don't think there are too many chances 2nd I've had a few long range efforts and sought out so yeah I was bought every game to different Listen you're going to go back and look at that game and think that's exactly going to happen we watched a bit a game coming back in the Boss on Sunday I expect them to go on to win the game and to score a goal like that sometimes you want to be a magic to get in front and again when you are struggling they got there and then they let us a little bit to make it to you know. He missed his opportunity it was a huge moment the much good in the could've been a lot different perhaps Yeah there must've moments I think it tipped on a Terry says the little things will taking your chances on the call. Can change a game and turn the screw and give you a lift before they went in and they've ended up getting be 2 women. The pressures gained even more probably on the players and on a manager as you said he's not been there too long so things are more sort of players I think when a manager has been there for up and down the toy and I think people have touched on it saying they're a bit soft and they've changed very hard last year probably Milligan in midfield and. You know a lot they had a lot of elderly and they did a lot oh yeah. It's definitely younger yeah I mean young at midfield so they've called a change their style a little bit more maybe try to play a little bit more football the people have had in there so maybe they're on a little period ready are changing a little bit how to apply in and all I can say Michel for doesn't happen overnight it's never easy so they're probably in a period where the feeling that what way they want to play a game probably And that's where you probably end up chopping and changing as a manager you're not too sure maybe on who to play in what way to play talking about chop and change and we'll hear from that McInnes later in the program he's but what he the skull and might end up going down the line of England in terms of clubs chopping and changing the managers week to airily. Obviously there has been talk about pressure on Paul Hackett both of those Talk about pressure on Craig will be ahead of the set of Brad Darby I mean got a deck of what's your view in terms of boy can both of you only been in the door 7 months how much pressure does he under in your view I think he came in last year and don't don't quite well go hit into the top 6 maybe had a few a few results nearly ended up in the lake split and then you haven't started great so I think yeah I think it is it's it's it's crazy these days those players are probably they're probably sitting there thinking what's going on here because you can work 2 ways as a player as well you can have a manager and that's in there. And it's more of a satin period is really maybe getting a manager's go home you never know who's going to walk and or Often what he found where he doesn't want to what story he's going to play so. I think it's a dangerous one for players as well I know people thought monitors. For me personally think it's crazy vote change monitors all the throne Crystal will tell you the same and chop and change and usually it doesn't work when you're bringing in managers and you haven't a change over 1015 players every year went through a stage or come on a corner the Watts Up group was was mental some comment in a coma no comment oh you fairly get the no on your own so it doesn't help the club doesn't help the funds so I think citoyen. Arroyo does it's a long held season and he'll be somewhere else on the pressure and 3 or 4 weeks of crystal and over the Welsh was a pretty despondent same thing figure on sports and last night I think he maybe was speaking for quite a few hot heads finds is where they kind of just feel a little bit bereft of anything in terms of how they feel the way the club's going at this one thing but as Gary that proces. Do they need to stick with boy bottom of this moment so as you can see I think so so far you know and I would just say the obviously only only sex games in a season are have many games as such by club and. That would mean the world to the Habs fans. To see the teams at the bottom of the play. And I think you see obviously that action that people are protesting that although it's only a handful of games in a season you see just how big these clubs are. And you know fans just demand that. Teams. Produce the goods so it becomes That's why mind is under pressure so quickly because the fans make the feelings you have and the kind of the argument is the fans do p. The money they come through the door they'll not have enjoyed obviously seeing their say lose at home based Easter Road there are 2 rivals Hearts who are really struggling themselves and obviously the political monic this midweek if they go over the League Cup That's another huge blow and then they have to play Celtic at the weekend as well as just one thing after another and usually find out you know really when ya don't have all of these can all leagues you look at the upcoming factions and they'll just never seems to be late in the tunnel you know that you don't get easy games so there's never a but it creates think you can maybe start picking up momentum and so the longer you you light up in the league and we know confidence in the top of these run seem to be and you know it can change so quickly you know one result. Even a one no one and scrape through all the sudden can give players managers confidence and then you get fans behind your game because you know they just want to see the team do well in and they just want to celebrate goes really well that's I mean got a deck or you'll be opened that doesn't happen obviously to more than a Rugby Park and a lot of talk about you know has been a bit soft in the middle Milligan no longer there Marvin Barkley no longer there they could do with a player like yourself in central midfield not. As I said I think that probably changed it a little bit compared to last year he had more boy players only younger I thought was a really cool player he could make soap box the box and I think that probably missing the type of player in the table I think everyone wants I thought a player now I can can do a bit of both boy and it is tough when you are down there you know when and I don't think we're going to roll over 8 or tomorrow on Lloyd down on that then come and pick up a win against a semi so we're desperate to get them and I think we've been quite lucky over the last few years with the cup game so would you trip like I can tell guy that you get sick and tired of us just talking about because obviously call Monica could be a major part of this match tomorrow night how are things that go Monica it was 4 consecutive clean sheets 2 wins in a row before you went to Celtic Park at the weekend your lead through game and Brophy and came back the top league in the top league for that reason what's the mood of the camp like they're disappointed after the game we were you go ahead in the game close the half time you're looking to get in at one nil pressure beyond them and we conceded a sloppy goal as a team. Same again 2nd off and you give yourself a must have known the climate to go 31 up pitch starts to get a little bit they go a little bit wider and we get a chance to get back in the game we didn't take it now we can learn from an honest . I think you know Calvin go in there it's a free here for most teams ball we've done that already last year so we're disappointed you can't get over quickly goals we conceded probably more mistakes on their part and we'll be ready for tomorrow I guess that's one thing I can say yeah come on it versus have been at Rugby Park tomorrow night in the League Cup quarter finals all the action covered on sports own Tomorrow night of course and as for the other games Livingston host Rangers tomorrow night at the Tony macaroni the home site of last the last 2 months just to be one at Rangers and then 2 no to Aberdeen at the weekend so how are Gatty hold site as they prepare for tomorrow Well who better to ask than Gary Holt got here there I am at the. What's happening in the background there got a chance to. Sort of. Well there's a good enjoying life nonetheless very different thing of course how do you stop Rangers get a. Tough. Out an exception say the squad so I can. Say what the social public Obama's of. Course but we have to. Believe that we can get some of the game otherwise. Absolutely what I should ask about your own side I mean of the 2 defeats Afghan of unusual for living in this moment. Wow So you don't always want to take. Lost again for the last 2 games will be the next one really really good performance he's just afraid if any part of the slave was a boy only punished. And that's what's most courses will have to chance you James. Today performance wise we are trying to create really good. The low level part of the year. As a team. Benefiting better at things as simply courses but I'll take a pay to conform to the previous. One you want to get. But all that frankly just isn't yes she was good morning. With all the critique to be honest I don't know if you like Bartley agent because we had him on this last week and we can talk about him constantly especially in terms of his Banyan and how much of a mess I'm but obviously you've no go and got a good In addition as you being. Professional professional shrinks through there. Is a great respect social and social good for the younger ones as well because if it helps over there is a stupid culture. With em. Often on the part she simply said I can. I just must be sure to get the opportunity to have a past the only. Second Order job. I was going to see must have been gutted when he laid on a play I think was across their skin wasn't it not to be fair it was the best I could have a part. Of it or not but he surprised Banyan let go and made him available. For the state but. Always came on. Something such a fresh challenge to. Go on and on each we want to play they give us a call or something. Is certainly braced up by comatose nation. Thankfully Hans What did you make of Rangers for no victory yet Johnston this past weekend was a pretty impressive 2nd half you're doing as. You. Gave it probably had to be opposition has been really too much. I thought was probably some of this but then. I could. Separate. The point tons of. Back and be disappointed. But it's their decision to course you cannot and it's one of them. But I didn't. Keep the pressure of trying to make it difficult for a man and saying if you want to. Say. You don't win you cannot get back in the game we can go to see. As one of we need to be real. Because it is but because. You mentioned morale of the it and all that you've got I want to back. Just in a 2nd just stay with us you got Chris Doohan in the studio obviously a top striker himself an alpha male is Chris 12 goals this season Gary there was mentioning the defending from tons of could have been bear but. What else as a 12 goals no red card to the season just. As the pain he dropped how much better player does he appear to be the season than last season even Yeah it's a seems to keep getting better and better you know and I think as you mature as a player you know it comes his temple though he's always been he was called goat and I think that's been evident for a number of years one of the is definitely no no go school if you can look after the that it cards and the yellow counts then you know he will guarantee you go you know and you know and he's along say demean the 4 who will do exactly the same and were really strong and straight for absolutely got to you've obviously played against Alfredo Maria was. A real handful can occupy a couple of central defenders at once it seems Yeah I think the aggression side of it is probably calmed down a bit well I think if he loses that I think you lose you know Saltman point a player for me personally someone you hate playing against but you want when your team and you know he gets a chance he's going to take it to us don't you just harasses. He's always going to moan and probably more than a it's a nightmare to play against. He has calmed down a little bit I think the phones have gone about ranges I think a little bit. And so I'm sure. I'm sure everyone thinks the same an ink is gold records the nonbeliever. You know it might apply against you know how do you handle got a striker like Alpharetta medallist man of course it could be Jimmy in the fullness of who's. Afraid of it's not just a question about the fight for it really does he. Discussed what the other question is like it is the. Next level from his mistakes off. To sleep it doesn't take away from. The fact these are things going against them and again it's probably pleasing for the way.
