00:00It's one of those games where you just felt, is it going to fall?

00:04You're asking that question of yourself and we've kind of made the subs to be positive.

00:09We went two up top, we've kind of done everything that we can from a shape perspective.

00:15Big Jack Murray, brilliant delivery from Gal and just an outstanding header.

00:21That's all we had to do.

00:23Getting the equaliser was the least they deserved for what they put into the game.

00:27We were on the front foot for the majority of the second half.

00:30The next time, we've got a goal.

00:34Aidan has pulled off a great save from a penalty and a really important moment of the match.

00:40Swings the momentum back in our favour again and gives the crowd another wee lift to go and get behind.

00:45Then we score, in my opinion, a perfectly good goal through Jack Murray.

00:49The frustrating thing is the linesmen agreed that it was their own player that's fouled the goalkeeper.

00:55Which means it isn't a foul in that case.

00:57The striker has bumped into the goalkeeper and he's dropped the ball to Jack.

01:01Jack's played to the whistle and put the ball in the back of the net.

01:05That was real frustration because, for me, that's a legitimate goal.

01:08Then the penalties, it's a combination of good finishing at moments,

01:17but all the praise, all the plaudits, all the positive talk has to go to Aidan.

01:25I don't know how many penalties he saved, but it just felt like six.

01:29Including the one during the game.

01:31Including the one during the game.

01:32He was very unlucky, it wasn't seven with the first penalty because he pulled off a save

01:36and just slipped through his hands on the post.

01:39That was a brilliant moment for him and well deserved.

01:43I thought he was really assured today with his performances.

01:46I thought he pulled off a couple of important saves at key moments of the game.

01:49I thought his distribution was really good, especially against the wind in the first half.

01:53Penalties got to a point where you just felt he was going to save every one.

01:59That's a good moment for him because he's only young.

02:02You've got to remember he's only 19 and this is his first experience at senior football.

02:07He's doing really well and there were a lot of good performances out there today.

02:12The crowd were, once again, outstanding here.

02:15Really got behind the team.

02:17In the end, we're the team that's got ourselves through.

02:22We'll await the draw and see what happens in Round 3.
