The Kilmarnock manager threw on Steven Naismith in the quest for an equaliser in this pulsating fourth-round tie and the teenaged substitute

Posted on 25 September 2010

The Kilmarnock manager threw on Steven Naismith in the quest for an equaliser in this pulsating fourth-round tie and the teenaged substitute dramatically forced a replay with a last-minute goal.
It was the second time in four days that Hearts’s ambitions had suffered such a cruel blow, Motherwell robbing them of a place in the Scottish League Cup semi-final with the last kick of the game.The Edinburgh side must have thought their luck had changed when they surged ahead after just 16 minutes through Dennis Wyness. I’ve had my head smashed against the hull by the violent motion.”17 Dec: Day 20Passes Cape of Good Hope at 17.56 to set new, fastest solo time of 19d 9hr 46min “Effectively, my target is now 415 miles a day I think it is doable.”1 Jan: Day 35Now 2d 13hr 40min ahead “I think the biggest thought… is the disaster which has happened in the Indian Ocean and all the death and trauma it has caused.”9 Jan: Day 43Best 24-hour run of 501.6 miles. “We’re in a boat that’s getting tired, a skipper that’s getting tired – mentally and emotionally zonked.”12 Jan: Day 46Rounds Cape Horn at 07.46 in new best solo time of 44d 23 hr 36min. “I will miss this wild and wonderful place.”27 Jan: Day 61Crosses Equator 29 hours ahead, setting new solo record time of 60d 13hr 35min.

“I gave Neptune the most precious thing I had [a charm from a silver necklace] to get us home.”2 Feb: Day 67Three days 10 hours ahead, but cannot avoid light airs ahead. Exhaustion levels “on the limit of endurance” and physical condition deteriorating “I think I just have to be realistic and do my best.”. The tempestuous Welsh striker’s debut for Celtic, after being rescued by Martin O’Neill from his cold war with Souness at Newcastle United, could be delayed until next Sunday. When he was player- manager of Rangers, his team were knocked out of the Scottish Cup in 1988. Must recross the line by 07.04 on 9 Feb to break Francis Joyon’s record of 72 days 22hr 54min “Relief to be over the line, relief to be going.

I was so nervous and emotional.”7 Dec: Day 10Crosses Equator at 02.30 to set new fastest solo time of 8d 18hr 20min. “To cross the Equator over 14 hours ahead was brilliant.”12 Dec: Day 15Problems with main water-cooled generator threaten to end attempt Back- up air-cooled generator fills the cabin with fumes Fresh-water makers also fail “Everything is flying around the cabin. In 2000-01 Golding had to restart after eight days following a dismasting in less than eight hours and also finished seventh, with the fourth fastest time.Back in the UK is the young Turk Alex Thomson, 30, who had to retire his Hugo Boss after a massive failure saw his mainsail boom punch a hole in the deck. If Golding is ready to hand over the baton, these two would be eager to grab it and finally break the stranglehold that the French have held throughout the life of the Vendee Globe.The question for Mac- Arthur is whether to continue along the controllable path of record-hunting or return to the more exposed competitive race track.CAPTAIN’S LOG: TIMETABLE OF A RECORD-BREAKING VOYAGE28 Nov: 08.10GMTB&Q crosses the start line at Ushant at a speed of 27 knots. He had moved up to seventh place yesterday, despite his keel malfunction-ing. He also conspicuously failed to rule out another Vendee when he finished late last week.

And he is scheduled to do the Calais Round Britain Race in the summer, followed by the two- handed Transat Jacques Vabre from Le Havre to Brazil in November.Still to finish the Vendee, Conrad Humphreys, 31, in Hellomoto has put up a remarkable performance after stopping in Cape Town for over a week to repair his rudders. But before he finished there were already murmurs within his camp about doing what used to be called Around Alone, renamed Five Oceans, which has stopovers. I doubt I shall ever be able to express what this trip has put me through… I believe I am running so close to empty it is only the energy from others that is keeping me going.. this trip has taken all I have, every last drop and ounce… There are no reserves, and I am pretty fragile right now.”In effect, she has never been alone. Her shore team deny that their communications bill will be enormous, but she has had two sets of weather routers guiding her every mile, she has on-tap medical advice and even sleep monitoring – sleep deprivation has been a major problem.If MacArthur’s exploits have overshadowed those of Golding – and the French media are furious that she should have timed her run, as they see it, to steel the thunder of their prestige event – they can never completely obscure either the other individual efforts that have been made or the foundations for the future of British long-distance solo sailing that have been laid in the two events.Before he started and all the way through the Vendee race, Golding was saying that, at 44, he thought this was his last major crack at round- the- world solo sailing.
