00:00well a couple of changes for hearts at the start of the second half frankie kent and
00:09craig halkett are coming on and off are going kabangu and wilson
00:15two attacking threats replaced by two centre backs
00:20in frankie kent's case this is his first appearance for hearts since thursday the
00:2812th of december he played against copenhagen in the conference league
00:33of course for the last season for a while certainly the scottish cup winners will be
00:42guaranteed at least conference league football next season celtic win the cup again that prize
00:49goes to third place that is for another day though
00:55cammy devlin is going to get the second half underway
01:00the 14th meeting in the scottish cup between these two aberdeen have come out on top
01:06with 11 wins to hearts three
01:08it's the first time they met in the competition since a fourth round game at tynecastle in january 2016
01:17calum patterson goals settled
01:22it's going to be very interesting to see how hearts deal with the fact that they're
01:29man down and it'll be equally interesting to see how aberdeen deal with it because they didn't deal
01:35with it particularly well last week
01:38yeah and hearts i'm not i expected them to stay in the back four
01:43but they've gone to the back three and there'll be a five at times and as the guys were speaking about you know half time to try and stop the overloads
01:51and that's exactly you see it there where forrester has to go to shinny kick and then come across
01:56which is two centre backs inside them and i think they'll be expecting you know aberdeen to try and force that down the wide areas and create those overloads so going into the back five at times
02:04certainly gives you that extra man
02:06keskin and across by halkett
02:11the extra man you haven't defend she'll lose that threat
02:14as much up front especially with the pace
02:17tharkson
02:20jensen encouraged to shoot which he does but
02:24he can't replicate what he did against unfermline
02:27his only goal in aberdeen colors so far coming in that fifth round tie
02:33i think it's a good connection he just drags it a little bit good first touch and and hit
02:38and you know you look at hearts and how you're expecting aberdeen to come and you know look for
02:43those switches of play try and get the overloads down the the the wide areas
02:47it's what hearts are going to be able to offer on the counter
02:50don't have the pace of kabangu and wilson shantley but that focal point up front
02:56up to grant and devlin to go and support as much as they can
03:05well aberdeen have only been to the scottage cup final twice since the turn of the century hearts have
03:09been there three times in the last six seasons beaten twice by celtic once by rangers but it was really that
03:17penalty shootout defeat against celtic that stung the most with an advantage in that shootout as well
03:26palaverso has been caught by shankland
03:31john beaten had slightly turned his back to that when the challenge happened yeah i mean shankland does
03:44come in late he turns his back because aberdeen still have the ball it sees that palaverso is struggling
03:50he might stand in his toe yeah it's late it catches him but the reason he's staying down i think he maybe
04:03just stands in his toe
04:08there's a sore one the studs right on top
04:11of the foot it's wonder if john beaten had seen that properly where they would have given a yellow card
04:15yeah maybe but i think that you know the problem or the issue for palaverso is that you know is it you know the last bit of it
04:27he is late
04:31yeah obviously he's not seen that because we've had to see two replays to see exactly you know the contact
04:45and on another day it would have been a yellow card for the hearts captain
04:58different challenge for aberdeen now and stephen nesmith talking about it the
05:04transitional element the game that you made to lean is so keen to
05:08to adopt the club will be less of a feature for them in the second half
05:17they have at times struggled to break down teams that have sat in against them
05:31clarkson
05:31nesbitt
05:38nesbitt try to return the favor
05:51There will be an expectancy on the shoulders of the Aberdeen players in the second half.
05:59For Hearts it's about staying in the game now.
06:10I mean the pressure and as you say the expectation is on Aberdeen to take the game to Hearts,
06:18Hearts are going to sit in that back five and enforce mistakes as much as they can to try and get the ball back.
06:25And as you say in Aberdeen, they are a team that are a threat on the break,
06:30with the speed that they have, they're a threat when they get the overloads in the wide areas.
06:34Hearts dropping into that back five kind of takes that space away,
06:37that's when you're looking at players like Leighton Clarkson to really dominate the game
06:42and look for those, he's a player that can play the passes.
06:45So he's the one that you're expecting to step up.
06:48I think before the change of shape you were looking at Morris and Keskenen, both full backs.
06:54Jensen and Shinne to be the important players but I think you look at Clarkson and he's got an eye for a pass,
07:01he's going to have to find a bit of magic.
07:03Keskenen, gets it back from Shinne.
07:10Drive at Forrester, he's gone down, the ref's not interested.
07:17Might be interested in that one though.
07:19Karista on Shankland.
07:24You see Ben Ingemi, Helton Forrester out here, don't see too much in it, but when it comes up to Shankland that's all it has to do.
07:42When Hearts win it back, get yourself in front of the defender, hold the ball up if it comes into you,
07:47buy fouls, take the pressure off, get your team a chance to go and put deliveries into the box.
07:51Look, this is a tough one to put it straight into the box and create.
07:54But they've got Halkett, McCart and Kent cause problems for anyone.
07:58Kent wins the header, Shinne heads it back towards his own goal, Shankland.
08:08Well, that just shows you that there'll still be chances in this game for Hearts.
08:13Absolutely, it comes, you know, Shankland wins the foul, they've got a chance to put the ball in the box.
08:17Spoken about the height and the aggression they have, Kent, Halkett and McCart and...
08:23You can't blame Lauren Shankland for taking a shot on there, but if he takes a touch you can roll George Grant in,
08:28who may well be in a better position, but they will get opportunities and it's just about being solid defensively,
08:34giving yourself a chance to, you know, stay in the game.
08:38There's Teskinen, shuffles away from Kent, here by McCart.
08:55Jensen.
08:58Morris.
09:01Pala Versa.
09:02Ooh, just wide!
09:06Just wide from Papi Gate.
09:09The reaction says it all, that tells you how close it was, perhaps.
09:12Yeah, it's a great delivery.
09:14You know, walked into Widerio Morris, hops to go back.
09:17Great cross from Pala Versa.
09:19Papi Gate.
09:21Maybe just in slightly ahead of it.
09:25It's agonising, isn't it?
09:27That's how close it was.
09:32Close shave.
09:34That's when you look at Teskinen, he's going to want to get 1v1 down the left-hand side.
09:40Morris has looked to get 1v1.
09:42But you've got the balls back in then to Pala Versa and Clarkson,
09:45they need to be the ones that find the quality at times.
09:47The wide men can stretch the game, draw hearts into that back five,
09:51and then you look to get good deliveries in, whether it's an arrow or cross.
09:58And Papi Gate so close to put his side ahead again.
10:05Clarkson for Jensen.
10:07Morris ahead of him.
10:08You see a team up against ten men, you do feel that if you can add pace to the game,
10:24it would be beneficial because hearts will be quite content in times,
10:27let Aberdeen knock the ball about.
10:29If they're not, getting it wide and getting in behind.
10:34It will be for the game to be played in front of them in that respect.
10:37expect.
10:44Keskinen.
10:47And by Halkett.
11:07Dorrington.
11:15What a great ball.
11:18Shot by Penrice.
11:20A year ago, last week, Amy Tallinn was appointed Aberdeen manager.
11:24He used to lead the club to silverware.
11:25A year ago, last week, Amy Tallinn was appointed Aberdeen manager.
11:35He used to lead the club to silverware.
11:41Aberdeen fans were appealing, jersey pool on Jensen in the hearts box.
11:47Clarkson with the cross.
11:49Can you start?
11:50Can you start?
11:51To shitty.
11:52Can you start?
11:53To shitty.
11:54Can you start into the box?
11:55Didn't favor it there.
11:56That will be a foul by Morris.
11:57Well this is what the Aberdeen fans were appealing.
11:59Moosed her into the box, Linsome didn't look favourite there,
12:08that would be a foul by Morris.
12:21Well this is what the Aberdeen fans were appealing.
12:24In fact it's the next replay that we'll be getting.
12:33There is a little pull there, that's hopeful more than anything for me.
12:44When you speak about the speed for Aberdeen,
12:47the speed in a play up until around the edge of the box isn't forcing hearts back,
12:51they're just retreating as a team anyway, so then that's when the speed has to come.
12:55Whether it's, you know, quick passing to try and break them open.
13:00Good early crosses to allow somebody to go and attack it,
13:04whether that's a midfield runner coming in because you've got that front four
13:08that are trying to stretch hearts as much as they can.
13:17This time, the Aberdeen supporters are roaring because they felt this was a free kick to them.
13:22It's gone Devlin's way. I think the arm just comes across Devlin from Nisbet.
13:26Aberdeen have only won four of their last 15 games at Hampden Park.
13:41The Morton Rangers and Hibbs in the League Cup and Hibbs once in the Scottish Cup.
13:46And they won the League Cup in 2014, their semi-final in the Tynecastle.
13:53It's just hearts threatening this time.
14:06They've got a corner too and this might be their best outlet.
14:11As you look at, you know, the game, you speak about Aberdeen,
14:14can they inject a bit of speed into the game, hearts will be happy with the tempo,
14:17slowing it down, foul, stoppages in play, chances to get the ball into the box
14:21and force an Aberdeen at the defendant
14:23because they don't have the pace to go and catch them on the break.
14:28Certainly through the middle, so these are opportunities for hearts.
14:33There's Penrice.
14:36Approaching the hour.
14:381-1.
14:41Penrice's corner and it was a hearts head, the cart.
14:51Clarkson has a lot of Jens in there.
14:52Morris.
14:53Devers.
14:54Devers.
14:55Steele.
14:56Clarkson has a lot of Jens in there.
14:57Morris.
14:58Devers.
14:59Devers.
15:00Stay down.
15:01John Beaton stops play.
15:02Clarkson has a lot of Jens in there, Morris, Deverell has stayed down, John Beaton stops
15:28and he's caught one in the face again from Morris, he's steaming in, Morris I think flicks it through his legs but catches him on the way past
15:44and he'd just taken one as well a minute or so ago from Kevin Nisbet, the hand just catches him on the way past, it's not a foul
15:58certainly felt it, absolutely, that game, I know that Aberdeen have the ball, it's a stoppage and play it stopping any rhythm in the game for Aberdeen
16:10and his assistant, Mr Pearson, discussion
16:20on Aberdeen's last two Scottish Cup finals, major heartbreaks in them, the one in 2000 when Jim Layton was playing his last ever game, Aberdeen legend of course
16:38to go off after the first few minutes, the challenge with Rangers, Rod Wallace, Aberdeen, a draw be Winters in goal for the majority of that
16:48Morris Pornel, Decafacat's side and then in 2017 that Tom Rogic goal in stoppage time
16:56he found a much more in the game, he's still fouled in a lot of that and he's still going to win at the end, he's still going to win with in a 25, he's still going to win with that
17:13Clarkson
17:15for Keskin
17:20you can see how little space
17:23the Aberdeen players have though when they get into that
17:25attacking third
17:26yeah but as that builds up
17:29Papagea comes into the wide left
17:31area probably where you'd want Keskin
17:33to pick it up and drive forward
17:35takes a touch plays it back
17:37then Misbet peels into that area Keskin is trying
17:39to pick it up inside
17:40probably better if they two just stayed away and just says
17:43to Keskin you go on you can try and get 1v1
17:45make something happen go either way he's direct
17:47he likes to run inside commit players
17:49and then you know you've got Gay and Misbet
17:51in the middle of the
17:52goals where they can cause problems
17:55Clarkson looking for Misbet
17:57away by McCart
17:58which says that
18:01it's been 17 minutes played
18:03in the second half and Craig Gordon's not
18:05had much to do that Gay header that went
18:07just by as close
18:09as Aberdeen have come
18:10yeah and the game's been pretty stock start
18:14you know Hart's the onus is on Aberdeen to go and win the game
18:17due to the fact that they have the extra man
18:20Hart's are allowing Aberdeen
18:22that pressure to go and break them down
18:25and have defended well you have to say
18:28the Pala Versa cross is excellent
18:29I think Papagea does all he can do
18:31he's unfortunate to see it
18:33just inches by the post
18:36Gordon goes long
18:48it's come off McCart
18:51he's bottom six football for Hart's this season
19:00just the fifth time they've been consigned to a bottom half finish
19:04since the inception of the split
19:07spent a couple of seasons out with the top flight
19:12amongst that
19:13and actually Aberdeen finished above Hart's
19:16in 11 of the last 13 seasons
19:19poor from Gay
19:23and that's brilliant from Craig Halkett
19:29now Penrice is heading down the left
19:32Shanklin then grab
19:33bursting a gut to get into the middle
19:35just behind Shanklin
19:37still alive here though
19:39and that's wildly over
19:41from Forrester
19:42there's another warning to Aberdeen
19:45I just wonder what happened in the second half at Pataudry last Sunday
19:49how much of that will play in the minds of the Aberdeen players
19:53no?
19:54yeah
19:54maybe but
19:55it's the semi-final they have to get it out of their minds
19:57they have to go and try and win the game
19:59you're right
20:01just a warning
20:02Penrice
20:03brilliant down the left hand side
20:04Halkett inside them
20:05excellent
20:05I actually thought that
20:09Penrice could play that earlier
20:12George Grant had made a run just inside
20:13if he plays it in his path
20:15then he's got a chance to
20:16get a shot at goal
20:17his cross isn't bad anyway
20:19but
20:19I think the better option was
20:21getting that in earlier for George Grant
20:23that's a canoe start
20:28Shinny
20:31you can see at times
20:32just
20:33how slow the build up is
20:35for Aberdeen here
20:36it's pretty comfortable at the moment
20:40but Clarkson does have the capability
20:41of the magic
20:42Jensen with the ball across
20:44yeah
20:49I mean
20:49it's the extra pass
20:51I think that
20:51the sooner you can get it to Morris
20:53or Kessner in the wide area
20:54the better
20:55because
20:55they don't always have to go past someone
20:57but
20:57you know for a fact that
20:59Hearts are going to try and double up
21:01they've got an extra man as it is
21:02it gives them a chance to find
21:04another spare man
21:05it's slow through the middle
21:07waiting for that perfect opening
21:09look
21:09they're still in control
21:10it's played forward for Jensen
21:13away by Halkett
21:14and then Beningamy
21:15Shankland for Devlin
21:19to the captain
21:20but when the game
21:22goes like this
21:23the encouragement is all
21:24for Hearts
21:25because
21:25they're happy in the shape
21:27the pressure's on Aberdeen
21:29don't break them down
21:29they're getting little bits of joy
21:31whether they're getting a break
21:32or they're getting a foul
21:32they're getting a chance
21:33to put the ball in the box
21:34and perhaps
21:36they're happier
21:37with us
21:38because this is the way
21:39they would have expected
21:40the second half to go
21:41just under 40,000 inside Hamden
21:54this afternoon
21:55not the ideal kick-off time
22:00for the Aberdeen supporters
22:01making the journey
22:02south which is a
22:05major reason why they've been outnumbered here
22:08today
22:0813,000 of them
22:10shinny crosses
22:11here's Jensen
22:13Morris
22:16to Jensen
22:22should be Gordon
22:23and is
22:24comfortable
22:28but that's the situation
22:30I was speaking about
22:30goes to Morris
22:31Penreich is out
22:32Devlin rushes to try
22:34and get over
22:34and then
22:35set back for Jensen
22:37to stay
22:37a better cross
22:38is a better opportunity
22:39for Aberdeen
22:40but it's something
22:41they're going to have to
22:41try and do more of
22:42I believe
22:52the hips-bound
22:53Jamie McGrath
22:54is going to be on
22:56for Aberdeen
22:56shortly
22:57sounds like it might be
23:01Palo Verza coming off
23:02he's wanting more urgency
23:21from his team
23:22you can see that
23:23it's out with your picture
23:24but
23:25Yemi Telene down there
23:27is wanting more urgency
23:28from his team
23:29shinny
23:31who's Keskinen
23:32that's holding Farne
23:37he's also
23:43seems to be speaking
23:44to Jepot
23:44Ockles
23:45as well
23:46I'm not sure
23:46he'll be coming on
23:47at the same time
23:48as McGrath
23:49but I don't think
23:50his arrival
23:51in the pitch
23:51is too far off
23:53Dorrington
24:00Morris
24:02Jensen
24:07and Aberdeen supporters
24:11collectively
24:11shouting
24:12man on there
24:13there's confirmation of the change
24:41Palo Verza
24:41stay is done
24:42and on will come
24:45McGrath
24:45getting the boos
24:47from the Harts
24:47report
24:48making the move
24:49D'Esta road
24:49next season
24:51he's been out
24:51since the goalless draw
24:52against Harts
24:53in January
24:54I think Aberdeen
24:56had offered him
24:57a three year deal
24:57he accepted
24:59a four year
25:00contract
25:01at Hibernian
25:02actually quite surprised
25:05to see him
25:06back fit
25:06before the end
25:07of the season
25:07it looked like
25:07his campaign
25:09was over
25:09yeah
25:12he's still got
25:12a big part
25:13to play
25:13for Aberdeen
25:14although he will be
25:15off to Hibbs
25:16you look at
25:17Palo Verza
25:18coming off
25:19McGrath will play
25:20in beside
25:20Clarkson
25:20but he'll go
25:21forward
25:22he'll look for
25:22those spaces
25:23and he's a player
25:24that can
25:24create
25:25he can score
25:26goals
25:26certainly more
25:28offensive minded
25:29remember Charlie
25:32Nicholas was
25:33off to Celtic
25:34the following season
25:36he took one of
25:38the crucial penalties
25:39in the shootout
25:39against Celtic
25:40the last time
25:41Aberdeen won the cup
25:42it's been
25:45done before
25:46there's no doubt
25:48he's made his
25:49decision
25:49he's a professional
25:51certainly a huge stage
25:54Aberdeen got a lot
25:54to play for
25:55between now and
25:56the end of the season
25:56hear what he plays
25:57part in it
25:58and leave on a high
25:58and actually it's a
26:00quality player coming
26:01on as well for
26:02Aberdeen
26:03absolutely he's been
26:04missed
26:04he's going to
26:08start
26:08McGrath
26:11it's his cross
26:14in
26:14Gay it just
26:16wouldn't sit for
26:17him
26:17he's got a
26:19head up
26:20Devlin for
26:23Hart
26:23not put the
26:24pitch much
26:24recently
26:25they've made it
26:26to the 70
26:27minute mark
26:27without Aberdeen
26:30really
26:31troubling
26:33Greg Gordon
26:33save for that
26:34gay header
26:35there should have
26:38been a
26:38header there
26:38the middle
26:39comes in
26:39I've no idea
26:40why he's trying to
26:40chest it
26:41in the middle
26:42of the goals
26:43McGrath
26:47looking for
26:51Nisbet
26:51Kent wins the
26:53header
26:53and Aberdeen
26:54have a
26:54corner
26:55tallish order
27:03for
27:03Frankie
27:04Kent
27:04not played
27:05since December
27:06you wouldn't be
27:09able to tell
27:10his performances
27:10coming on
27:11he's had to go
27:11and defend
27:12in the wide
27:12areas as well
27:13at times
27:13Canoester and
27:20Dorrington
27:20interested
27:21Clarkson goes
27:23short
27:24it's back
27:24with Shinny
27:25loopy one
27:28Gay wins
27:29the header
27:29but it's
27:30well past
27:30it stands
27:33with his
27:34extra time
27:35still a bit
27:36to go
27:36again
27:37I understand
27:39Aberdeen
27:40trying to
27:40get an
27:42even bigger
27:42advantage
27:43with drawing
27:43players out
27:44when they
27:44play it
27:44short
27:45but you
27:45look at
27:45the goal
27:45Aberdeen
27:46score
27:46the delivery
27:47from Clarkson
27:48the header
27:48from Papage
27:49okay
27:49fortunate
27:50it comes
27:50off
27:50Greg
27:51Gordon
27:51but it's
27:51a towering
27:52header
27:52it gets
27:53free
27:53and I know
27:54that Kent
27:55and Halkit
27:56are on
27:56and that
27:57certainly
27:57helps
27:57in that
27:58department
27:58but
27:59you know
28:00the delivery
28:00of Clarkson
28:01just put it
28:01into the
28:02box
28:02and try
28:03and do
28:04what you
28:04done
28:04in the
28:04first half
28:05this time
28:17he's apologising
28:18I mean
28:23that's
28:24as much
28:24as you
28:25need to be
28:26in their shape
28:26and you need
28:27to defend
28:27of course
28:28they do
28:29but when they
28:29win the ball
28:29back
28:29they have to
28:30keep it
28:30they can't
28:30just be
28:31waves of
28:31attack
28:31you need
28:32something
28:33to climb
28:34on to
28:34a little
28:35bit of
28:35confidence
28:36booster
28:36on from
28:40Clarkson
28:40by Forrester
28:43he's found
28:44Beningamy as
28:44well
28:45as well
28:50spins
28:50Nisbet
28:50Shankland
28:51Beningamy again
28:53good play
28:55from Hark
28:55so there's
28:56Penrice
28:56there's too
29:00much on it
29:00for Shankland
29:01Grant
29:11Beningamy
29:14and
29:16McCart
29:16hard
29:18sense
29:19there might
29:19be
29:20a chance
29:21in the
29:21offing
29:22here
29:22McCart's
29:26ball in
29:26was blocked
29:27that right
29:44there is
29:44I think
29:45known as
29:45the
29:45shinny
29:46yeah
29:49it's amazing
29:50he still gets
29:50away with it
29:51though
29:51Sinny for Keskinen
30:08who crowded that box is
30:12Keskinen across
30:14did the right thing
30:14yeah I thought he had to
30:17do the other when he
30:18chocks on to his right foot
30:19almost gets through
30:21the space had opened up
30:23pretty sure
30:25Nisbet and Gay
30:26were expecting it to come in as well
30:27he's put a couple of these short to Morris
30:37he sees ball in for the goal
30:40you would imagine he would
30:41put it into the box in every
30:44opportunity he gets
30:46this one does come into the area
30:48brilliantly defended
30:50by Benny Beningame
30:52he's getting
31:05Clarkson's got a bit of space here
31:08it's Leighton Clarkson
31:10it's deflected and it's wide
31:12and Craig Gordon and a nervy look over his left shoulder there
31:16as soon as it deflects
31:18he could see it
31:18and Craig Gordon
31:19nothing he can do about it
31:21big deflection
31:24I mean I don't know how close it actually was
31:28but nothing Gordon could do
31:30if that's in target
31:31out swinger from the right this time
31:35for Clarkson
31:36we're in the final 15 of the 90
31:38Clarkson's ball
31:41away by Kent
31:42Morris trying to keep this attack
31:46alive for Aberdeen
31:47but it's come to an end
31:48and it's with Shankland
31:49there's an offside
31:52there
31:53and challenging Papagate
31:55didn't really need to happen
31:58when the flag went up
32:00but the yellow card is out
32:02Devlin
32:05as it turns out
32:06didn't even need to make that tackle
32:08Aberdeen
32:15Aberdeen are going to the bench
32:16again
32:17and Dabag and Ockles
32:19are coming on
32:2050-50 that
32:3050-50 that
32:32just wonder if Papagate will be
32:34one of those to be withdrawn here
32:36hearts are looking at bringing on
32:39another man who's been out
32:40injured in the shape of Stephen Kingsley
32:43semi-final hero against Hibbs here
32:46a few years ago
32:48wonder goal
32:49so the hearts change will come first
32:56and it's Kingsley for Forrester
32:57it's a good change by Neil Critchley
33:12at this period in the game
33:14such an experienced campaign
33:15and he's done it before
33:17here in this stadium
33:17yeah I think that's the big point
33:24more experience going on to the pitch
33:26okay
33:26he's playing as a left back
33:29and a left centre back
33:30he's definitely an ability
33:31experience to go and play out there
33:33Penrice
33:42he's given the free kick to hearts
33:47it's brilliant
33:50brilliant for Penrice
33:51he's been the real outlet for hearts
33:53when they've had the chance
33:54to break
33:55the incident of the book
34:17this is exactly the kind of moment
34:20that hearts will be looking to profit from
34:24as we head towards the closing stages
34:27of the semi-final
34:29in from Grant
34:31Mitov comes and takes
34:33that's an opportunity for hearts
34:42just speaking about them
34:43you know how they defend
34:44and you know
34:45try and cling on to whatever they can
34:47but when they get in these positions
34:48they deliver it
34:49has to be better
34:50see Aberdeen get to that attack in third
34:59and then it all slows
35:01right down
35:02moves from McGrath
35:11picked up by Kingsley
35:13Shanklin trying to get it back to him
35:17still in play
35:19according to the north stand assistant
35:23behind
35:38Keskinen
35:44Shinnit
35:49Gay
35:50lays it back for Jensen
35:52interesting to see where that was going
35:56definitely on target
35:59he's been trying to get on to it
36:05a good recovery by McCartney
36:07he's getting the free kick as well
36:08two Aberdeen players coming off
36:14will be Toppy Keskinen
36:15and Papi Gay
36:17Odai Dabag
36:19and a couple against Queen's Park
36:22in the quarters
36:22will come on
36:23to his left is his right
36:26your left
36:27Jepa Ockels
36:28Ockels hasn't got the pace
36:35of Keskinen
36:36Amitilin worked with him at Elfsborg
36:39on loan from Preston
36:47on loan from Preston
36:48Amitilin do have an option to buy these two that are coming on
36:54Dabag has had his contract at Royal Charleroi in Belgium
36:59extended
36:59to the end of next season
37:02speak about Ockels not having the pace of Keskinen
37:10there's been no space for Aberdeen to use that pace in this second half
37:15some of the way Ockels coming on just a different option
37:19it's a foul on Grant
37:24and this is turning into a very frustrating game of football for Aberdeen
37:29this has been
37:31everything Hearts would have wanted in the second half
37:34obviously they want to defend as well as they can
37:37and try and offer something and get that goal to win the game
37:39but certainly putting the pressure on Aberdeen
37:42to go and force the issue
37:44and so far they haven't been able to do it
37:47you're getting to a point now
37:53I can't really say this I suppose
37:56given what happened to Old Trafford the other night
37:57but you're getting to a point
37:58where a goal goes in now
38:00could be taking you through to a Scottish Cup final
38:03Hearts threatening here
38:06away by Jamie McGrath
38:09Ockels gives it straight to Grant
38:11that'll be it
38:14he's got away with it
38:15they've gone out of play though
38:18that's a poor pass from Kevin
38:22but now that I've made the run
38:39Hearts have been down to ten men
38:47since the last knock-ins of the first half
38:49defended solidly
38:53and they're looking here
38:54trying to get themselves into the final
38:57with Shankland
38:57and it's gone for a goal kick
39:00I think the Hearts fans felt
39:01there's a corner
39:02in amongst all that
39:04Schinney
39:15and Ockels
39:18McGrath
39:21looking for
39:24Morris it was in the end
39:26Aberdeen corner
39:28great ball from McGrath
39:32just
39:32Schinney Morris
39:33he used to see him
39:34with the ball
39:35at the sweep run
39:35at defenders
39:36a big opportunity for him
39:37I just don't think he believed enough
39:39getting in at that back post
39:41he put the ball in the back of the net
39:42Clarkson will deliver here
39:48and then
39:51come off a Hearts head
39:52it doesn't matter
39:53it's not going to go behind
39:54for the corner anyway
39:55funny bouncing the ball there
39:58Clarkson
40:00recycles it
40:01for Jensen
40:02it's McGrath
40:05Dabag
40:06defended well
40:07by Kent
40:08did just enough
40:11you can see
40:13you can see when McGrath
40:14he sees a run
40:14from Dabag
40:15you see the cross
40:16previously
40:17and then for Schinney Morris
40:19he has got that
40:20ability
40:20to see the pass
40:22to play it
40:22he's Devlin
40:37advantage for Hearts here
40:44it's Penrice
40:45it's a corner
40:46because
40:50because the game's stretch
40:51Aberdeen are committing bodies
40:52forward
40:53and Hearts
40:53win it back
40:54if they can get the ball
40:54into the way
40:55particularly for Penrice
40:56and probably only for Penrice
40:58down this left hand side
40:59then they can cause
41:00Aberdeen problems
41:00Lawrence Shantlin
41:01had pulled to the back post
41:02I think he was looking for that
41:03stood up to the back post
41:04Penrice goes to flash it across
41:06but
41:07worst case scenario
41:08for Hearts
41:08you get the corner
41:09which will be taken
41:11by George Grant
41:12it's off Clarkson
41:15Dabag gives it away
41:17in the worst possible area
41:18and he just flashes
41:20wide from Penrice
41:21getting a chance
41:26he's under Hearts
41:27keep it alive
41:29Penrice
41:30just trying to pass it
41:31into the far corner
41:31and meet off
41:33scrambling
41:33Knuckles
41:41it's just too
41:45ponderous
41:45from Aberdeen
41:47way too slow
41:49I mean again
41:50the Knuckles
41:51flips that on his right foot
41:53put the Donner in
41:54doesn't need to
41:55take it back
41:56on his left
41:56he's already created
41:57the space
41:58he's created the half yard
41:59Sander Khartoum
42:03who plays Grant
42:04team mate of Aberdeen
42:11Sivert Nielsen
42:12in Norway
42:14and of course scored a couple
42:17against Dundee in the quarterfinal
42:18on that Friday night
42:20start the last month
42:27as it stands
42:38there will be three
42:38additional minutes
42:39on top of what's left here
42:41and it's extra time
42:42Doronton
42:43does always feel to keep that
42:46in play there
42:47the linesman happy with it though
42:48he said it would be a close run thing
43:02and that's exactly what it's been
43:04yeah but many people expected
43:11when Harts got out of ten men
43:13that Aberdeen would take control
43:14and dominate the game
43:15and as much as have had
43:17possession
43:18certainly not done enough with it
43:20the credit
43:21needs to go to Neil Critchley
43:22in his heart's side
43:23he's made it difficult for Aberdeen
43:25and they've actually created
43:26some decent chances as well
43:28you could argue
43:29they've looked more dangerous
43:30of the two
43:31in the second half
43:32Penrice
43:42there's Devlin
43:49charged down by Shaden Morris
43:52Devlin again
43:55Penrice swings it in
43:59but it's way too close
44:00to meet off
44:01it does really well
44:05to dig that out
44:06Penrice
44:07I just don't think
44:08Lauren Shatland expects
44:09he's able
44:10to work the space there
44:12and get the cross in
44:13otherwise he'd go and
44:15maybe attack it
44:16but that's the issue
44:17for Harts
44:17and getting away there
44:18it's probably only Shankman
44:19as a target
44:20Jensen
44:23there's Canuster
44:31Aberdeen score
44:32than the rest of the
44:33performance in the second half
44:35won't matter a jot to them
44:36it's Leighton Clarkson
44:42always an ambitious
44:46effort that
44:48as Devlin comes charging through
44:50as Cartu
44:55was just on
44:57and Kingsley
44:59minute 90
45:02Penrice
45:12away
45:15by McGrath
45:17in the league
45:18Aberdeen have conceded
45:1914 times
45:20in the final 15 minutes
45:22of matches
45:22a few of them
45:24have been really late
45:25oh Mitov
45:29gathers
45:29when you think
45:32about the
45:33clearly last week
45:34the most recent example
45:35but
45:35lost Leighton at St Merin
45:37lost Leighton at Dundee
45:38and I did
45:39that Rocky Bushiri
45:40goal
45:41which changed
45:41seemingly changed
45:42the course of
45:44both clubs
45:45seasons
45:46keen to try and keep
45:51out the ten men
45:52who have threatened
45:53McGrath
45:59looking for
45:59Shinny
46:00Kingsley's there
46:01so the three minutes
46:03have been confirmed
46:04three minutes
46:05from extra time
46:06there's McGrath
46:11as I go
46:12quite the headline
46:16he managed to
46:19find the net
46:20there
46:20yeah it's always
46:23rising
46:23McGrath
46:25we know he's capable
46:25from that distance
46:28but it's rising
46:28you see
46:29Craig Ward
46:29and spots it early
46:30that's going over
46:31it's looking like
46:39extra time
46:39this is not the style
46:44of who William
46:44Mitterling
46:45is bringing to
46:45Aberdeen
46:46it's why they've
46:46struggled to
46:47break teams down
46:48that sit in
46:48against them
46:49most recently
46:50I suppose
46:51the game
46:51in Perth
46:51against St Johnston
46:52yeah it's been
46:55tough
46:55it's been tough
46:56for them
46:56this second half
46:57they didn't start
46:58the game well
46:59at all
46:59put themselves
47:00in front
47:01get the man
47:02advantage
47:02and it has been
47:03tough for Aberdeen
47:04they haven't been
47:04able to
47:05create the chances
47:06you would expect
47:07I think credit
47:08has to go to
47:09hearts as well
47:09because they've
47:10defended brilliantly
47:11and they've
47:13looked comfortable
47:14defensively
47:15in this
47:15second half
47:16I think they've
47:18had a few
47:19outstanding performers
47:20I think
47:21Shacklin
47:21his hold up
47:22play
47:23being that
47:24lone striker
47:25has been very
47:26good
47:26Penryce up and
47:27down the left
47:27hand side
47:28Beninghamay in
47:28midfield
47:29but the back
47:30five in general
47:30I think have been
47:31outstanding
47:31up until this
47:32point
47:33shinny's cross
47:35McCart away
47:37here's Morris
47:38he's got no real
47:41joy down this
47:42side
47:43up to press
47:45in the second
47:46half
47:47Clarkson
47:50McGrath
47:55and Aberdeen
47:58win it
47:59late on here
48:00it's Morris'
48:00ball
48:01away by McCart
48:02final minute
48:04Devlin as well
48:12again he's in a
48:13good game
48:13another one
48:14that's been
48:15outstanding
48:15Dorrington
48:19oh and he's
48:21right car
48:21two right
48:22right in front
48:22of John
48:23Vieton
48:23yellow only
48:25you see this
48:31all the time
48:32the player
48:33takes a bad
48:34touch
48:34yeah
48:35you try and
48:35fix it
48:36it's
48:36understandable
48:37but
48:37especially
48:39nowadays
48:40as you masterly run
48:40under this
48:41I mean
48:43we're the other
48:44side of this
48:45so it does look
48:46like he comes
48:46all the way
48:46through him
48:47pulls out
48:52more than enough
48:55Dorrington
48:57again it's another
49:01moment for Hearts
49:02where the game's
49:02stopped
49:03he can take
49:05this thing
49:05out of it
49:05all the defenders
49:07have gone up for
49:08this as well
