A Sky Sports reporter left viewers in stitches after \u2018turning into Thomas the Tank Engine\u2019 amid an exciting finish to a match.<\/p>\n
Former Scotland and Bolton striker Andy Walker was on duty for the broadcaster at the Scottish Premiership match between St Mirren and Hibs. Joe Newell\u2019s second-half goal looked to have earned Hibs a first win in seven games after Josh Campbell\u2019s opener had been cancelled out by a Mark O\u2019Hara penalty.<\/p>\n
However, the home side\u2019s late pressure was rewarded when Lewis Jamieson grabbed his first goal for Saints. Walker was on air as St Mirren\u2019s late leveller went in and left fans amused, saying, \u201cThey never give up and it looks like they\u2019ve got a draw here. 2-2!\u201d with his announcement of the scoreline sounding more like \u201cchoo-choo\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tell us in the comments section below<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Speaking after the game, St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson said: \u201cI thought it was a point we thoroughly deserved. We weren\u2019t as defensively good as we could have been but our forward play and some of our movement and deliveries were excellent.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought we were calm, we kept the ball, and we moved it well and got balls into the box. We should have been level before we were, we could have potentially been going for a winning goal.<\/p>\n \u201cIt wasn\u2019t to be, but overall I think it\u2019s one of our best performances this season, the way we played, the way we battled, the response we showed to adversity was excellent. I\u2019m actually disappointed that we didn\u2019t win the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
