Min 2: Rory McKenzie (GCK) sidesteps to make space for himself...

Min 14: Now the ball comes to Alex Lifeson (GD)...

Min 28: Mark Reilly (GCK) escapes the offside flag...

        ...but John McKay is there to handle the danger.
Min 33: Myles Lewis-Skelly gets overlapped by Mark Reilly (GCK)...
        ...who threads it to Paul Clarke...
        ...who hits it right into the hands of John McKay.

Min 45: The Refs whistle is blown...
        ...John McKay looks bewildered at the site of a yellow card...
        ...as are the away fans...
        ...A rousing chorus of We hate the man in black starts in the stands.
