93’Full Time Report

It's a goalless at the Wyre Stadium at Firhill. 

It's Livingston that come close to snatching all three points at the finish with Lee Ashcroft making a great clearance on his own goal line. 

It's an improved Thistle performance but still a frustrating afternoon.

90’

88’

Man of the Match: Harry Milne. 

 
85’

Into the final 5 minutes. Thistle left in late in our last home game. Can they do the same again?

 
84’

Pittman snatches at a chance for Livi and Roberts makes a comfortable save. 

 
83’

Graham gets the merest of flicks to a high Bannigan ball but Prior makes an easy save. 

82’Thistle corner from the right
 
79’

Robinson picks up the ball and drives towards goal. He has options to both left and the right of him but elects to go for goal himself. It's the wrong choice as his wild effort goes wide. 

78’Livingston corner from the left

Winter's flicked effort is deflected wide for a Livi corner. 

78’Livingston substitution: Liam Sole replaces Steven May

Livi work a short corner. Kelly shoots and although Roberts isn't required to make a save the ball doesn't go wide by much. 

48’Livingston corner from the left
 
45’Kick-Off (2nd half)

No changes from Thistle at the break. 

45’+02’Half Time Report

Turner's free kick clips the top of the Livi wall. When the ball is returned back towards the Livi goal the flag goes up for offside. 

33’Livingston Booking - Stephen Kelly

32’

Roberts makes an excellent catch from Kelly's corner. 

31’Livingston corner from the left
 
28’

Ashcroft gets his head to Turner's free kick but it is an easy take for Prior.

Muirhead picks up the first yellow card of the game after a foul on Fitzpatrick. 

 
26’

24’

23’Livingston corner from the right
 
21’

Fitzpatrick once more with the corner. It's cleared but Turner picks the ball up. He finds Fitzpatrick whose cross is cleared only as far as Milne who forces a decent save from Prior. 

21’Thistle corner from the left
 
18’

Fitzpatrick this time with the corner. An unconvincing clearance falls into the path of O'Reilly. He though fires high over the bar. 

18’Thistle corner from the left
 
17’

A lovely pass from McBeth finds Diack. He squares to Crawford who is quickly closed down and his shot is blocked. The nearest either side has come to a goal so far.
