95’Full Time Report

Some important calls go against Thistle, but it is a bitterly disappointing night for Thistle who rarely looked solid enough at the back. 

 
95’Full Time
 
90’+03’

The flag is up for offside against Thistle which seems somehow appropriate. 

 
90’

Minimum of 5 additional minutes. 

 
89’

Diack's cross is claimed at his front post by Mehmet. 

87’Thistle substitution: Blair Alston replaces Jack McMillan

A crunching challenge on Robinson goes unpunished.

76’Dunfermline Athletic corner from the right
 
74’

Fitzpatrick sends over a cross after he gets the ball back from McMillan after his corner is cleared. Nobody can get on the end of it. Thistle badly need a goal and one soon. 

74’Thistle corner from the left
 
73’

It's poor defending from Thistle but McCann can only lift a poor effort over the bar. 

 
72’

Crowd: 3,350.

60’Dunfermline Athletic substitution: Alex Jakubiak replaces Brad Holmes

Another one to look back at. Milne's shot is deflected home by Brian Graham. The goal is initially given and then following a conversation with referee and his assistant is disallowed for offside. TV pictures confirm that Graham is ONSIDE. 

54’Goal Dunfermline Athletic! Matthew Todd
Thistle 1 - Dunfermline Athletic 2

Controversial moment as the flag stays down and Todd is clear on goal and clips the ball home. TV pictures show that Todd is clearly onside. 

 
53’

45’Kick-Off (2nd half)

Thistle were the better side in the first half but the concession of yet another soft goal means they are tied at 1-1 at the break. 

 
45’+01’Half-Time
 
45’

A minute of additional time to be played. 

 
43’

Fitzpatrick's free kick is cleared. He gets the ball back and this time his low cross is hacked clear. 

 
42’

Fitzpatrick is fouled on the left and Thistle will have a chance to get the ball in the box. 

 
41’

Stewart saves with his legs as Thistle come close to conceding another cheap goal. 

36’Goal Dunfermline Athletic! Malachi Fagan-Walcott
Thistle 1 - Dunfermline Athletic 1

The next goal is Dunfermline's though. Stewart saves a long range effort from Edwards but the ball falls into the path of Fagan-Walcott who tucks home with Thistle looking to the assistant for offside. 

36’Dunfermline Athletic corner from the right
 
35’

The ball just runs away from McInroy as he collects a pass from Lawless inside the Dunfermline box. Thistle pressing for a second goal. 

 
35’

A Fitzpatrick shot is blocked after a defensive error. 

29’Goal Thistle! Brian Graham
Thistle 1 - Dunfermline Athletic 0

A deserved lead for Thistle. McBeth wins the ball in the air at the edge of the box after a Milne cross is cleared and Graham is all alone inside the 6 yard box to make it 17 for the season. 

 
28’

Lawless' corner is a shade too deep. Graham does well to get his head to it but it is cleared. 

28’Thistle corner from the right
 
25’

McInroy's net bound effort from a Fitzpatrick cut back is blocked by a defender. 

 
25’

Graham drops deep picking the ball up inside his own half. He finds McMillan to his right, McMillan gives him the ball back and from the edge of the box Graham forces a good stop from Mehmet. 

 
22’

Milne heads the ball towards goal where Graham tries to flick it home. 

21’Thistle corner from the left

Stewart elects to try and punch clear. He doesn't get much on it and the ball is headed back towards goal where it is cleared off the line. 

20’Dunfermline Athletic corner from the right

Stewart comes for but doesn't collect the free kick and the ball goes out for a corner. 

 
20’

Dunfermline free kick wide on the right. 

 
18’

A low ball drilled in by Fitzpatrick is clear at the edge of the 6 yard box. The move starting with a quick throw from Stewart to McMillan. 

 
16’

Lawless with the corner but the referee spots a push as the ball comes over and immediately blows for a Dunfermline free kick. 

15’Thistle corner from the right
 
11’

The ball is in the Dunfermline net but the flag goes up for offside against McMillan as he crosses for Graham to tap home. 

 
09’

 McCann leans back when given room for a shot inside the box and the ball clears the bar. 

08’Dunfermline Athletic corner from the left

McCann does go for goal and Stewart has to tip the shot round the post for a corner. 

 
07’

Dunfermline win a free kick deep inside the Thistle half. Probably a shade too far for a direct shot at a goal but a threatening position all the same. 

 
07’

There's a series of crosses into the Dunfermline box. The last of which from Milne is claimed by Mehmet in his 6 yard box. 

 
05’

Fast paced opening 5 minutes but no real hint of a chance at either end. 

 
00’

Dunfermline get the game underway. Thistle shooting towards the John Lambie Stand in the first half. 

 
00’Kick-Off
 
00’Introduction

It's a Friday under the Firhill Floodlights as Thistle welcome Dunfermline to the Wyre Stadium at Firhill. 

Kris Doolan's starting eleven shows two changes from the side that started at Inverness last Saturday. Coming in to make his debut in the Thistle goal is Ross Stewart while Jack McMillan has recovered from in jury and comes back into the team in his usual right back slot.
