hello and thanks for joining us on sportsday. we're going to start with football and the magic of the fa cup was almost alive on wednesday. third tier blackpool taking premier league side and two time european cup winners nottingham forest to extra time in a five goal thriller ultimately losing 3—2 in this third round replay. chris wood the hero in the end but forest had looked to be cruising into the fourth round when danilo made it 2—0 in the first minute of the second half. but hosts, blackpool, fought back in style at a raucous bloomfield road. albie morgan pulled one back

with an hour gone before substitute kylejoseph headed in from close range to make it 2—2 to set up a frantic finish. early in the second period of extra—time, the visitors retook the lead. chris wood scoring what proved to be the winning goal. nuno espirito santo�*s side will now play away at bristol city in the fourth round. it was a great game for them

today. they fought. this is the top, we have to be ready for

the match. akram afif struck again as holders and hosts qatar became the first team into the asian cup last 16 with a 1—nil win over tajikistan. i think we are both big supporters and fa ns fans of what would farrell brings to a team. it's not about trying to place, it's about what i said earlier.

i was asked if i had given jamie any advice. the only one i want to lead is you, i said. one aspect of the coaches giving the players enough room to lead. what was interesting was watching owen during the world cup and how he helped others grow and how he gave room to other leaders within the team. i think he can see a lot of leaders in this team. the team has been criticised in the past for not having leaders. i see a load of leaders. i see a load of leaders in different ways, shapes and forms. i have no doubt they will develop together. there will be a different dynamic. it'll be a dynamic that help build this team. ireland boss andy farrell has chosen peter o'mahony as his captain for the six nations. the munster flanker chosen to usher in a new era following johnny sexton�*s retirement. o'mahony has previously captained ireland on ten occasions and will lead the team out when they begin the defence of their six nations title away to france

hello there. our current cold snap may well be coming to an end, but before it does so, i think something of a sting in the tail. of course, over recent days, we've seen plenty of these snow showers — this one looking very heavy as it obscures the skyline of the island of sky. and it is in northern scotland we've seen the largest accumulations of snow. through wednesday, we had over 20 centimetres on the deck in lerwick, and that was before this loss arrived. this is a trough bringing particularly heavy showers, widespread, prolonged showers southwards, and that willjust increase the risk of seeing some disruption. now, for northern scotland, an additional 5—15cm of snow as we go through thursday, a much greater chance of seeing some disruption in northern ireland, too. i think we could see around 5—iocm of snow building in here, so a much greater risk of seeing some disruption. and for northern scotland, as well as all that heavy snow,

winds gusting to around 40—50 mph, so blizzard conditions, significant drifting of the snow, and for some communities, it'd be very difficult to travel around at all. now, there could be a bit of snow elsewhere in scotland and a few wintry showers coming down to the western side of wales, a few coming down the north sea coast of england. you might see some localised accumulations, but otherwise, a lot of dry, sunny and cold weather into thursday evening. a shower stream sets up off the irish sea that will bring some snow showers to north wales across cheshire, merseyside into the north west midlands. accumulations will vary a lot from place to place, but you could see a few centimetres in a few spots on friday. temperatures come up with just a little bit and that means the showers that we have in scotland will start to fall as rain and sleet at lower elevations — the snow becoming confined to the hills. temperatures a degree or two higher. you probably won't notice much in the way of change — it will still feel cold. however, as we get into this weekend, that's when we see a real change in our weather pattern as these south—westerly winds push mild air off the atlantic and that

will really boost the temperatures for most. now, on saturday, we've got these bands of rain moving from west to east along with those gusty south—westerly winds. now, there'll be a rapid thaw taking place in scotland, so there could be some localised flooding concerns here given all of that snow lying on the deck being a much milder kind of day, very windy weather. then, for sunday and early next week, top gusts could reach around 70mph, potentially disruptive winds, but it does turn incredibly mild. bye for now.
