Colquhoun the ace in the pack John grabs three as Hearts take lead in race for the titleIAN PAUL 13 Nov 1989 WI PAUL BLK Hearts 6, Dundee 3 THEY were chucking goals at us, nine smackers to savour and stack up as evidence that the end of the football world in the old country is not yet nigh. It might be best to persuade them to take their arguments elsewhere, using your own choice of articulation, of course. If a couple of goals were down to slackness in defence, most were the consequence of brilliant opportunism, superb creativity, or individual inspiration. It would have been too much to expect the losing manager to take a detached, philanthropic view of the day's proceedings but Gordon Wallace maybe overstated his annoyance when he said that, in terms of a kamikaze exercise, his team would have been as well throwing themselves off the Forth Bridge en route to Tynecastle. Wallace insisted that no one in his team played well, not even Billy Dodds who scored two goals. It was easy to feel sorry for them all but especially Alan Dinnie, the 26-year-old who signed for Dundee on Thursday. He and his fellow dug-out residents had scarcely got themselves comfortable when Hearts had gone two ahead. The keeper lifted the ball out again after John Robertson, looking once more like the sharp striker he can be, did a neat turn and shot in the same manoeuvre. They then sat and suffered as their lads went into recess, letting Dundee steer a path into the match with a goal by Wes Saunders. With that two-goal cushion restored, however, Hearts were on the make for more. Police were busy lecturing folk in the Dens dug-out as this goal was scored, apparently because of a complaint by people in the new family enclosure sited immediately behind. It was not a good day out for John or his team but they still had playing to do. HEARTS -- Smith, McLaren, McKinlay, Levein, Kirkwood, McPherson, Colquhoun, Mackay, Foster, Robertson, Bannon. DUNDEE -- Carson, Forsyth, Shannon, Beedie, Chisholm, Saunders, Frail, McLeod, Wright, Dodds, McBride. Referee -- J McCluskey (Stewarton). |
