What can I say? When this lot visited Brockville we out-classed them in every area of the park and, although we didn't actually win, we played probably the best football we've played all season. And to be fair we stated off today playing some great stuff and dominated in midfield all through the game but a lack of adge upfront cost Falkirk today without a doubt. Paul Walker put The Jags ahead after half an hout after being put through by Gerry Britton. Hogarth came right out of his box and after Walker had rounded him he was left with the simple task of tapping into the empty net.
Half Time: Partick Thistle 1-0 Falkirk
5 minutes after the break Falkirk made a difficult task impossible when Camille Oponga's simple back pass rolled into the bottom corner after Myles Hogarth failed to control it. (dipstick!") Falkirk did get a goal back only a few minutes later when Kevin McAllister rounded keeper Kenny Arthur and when then brough down by Stephen Craigan. Craigan was red-carded for his troubles and Paul Wright calmly converted the resulting penalty. No bad then, a man better off and only a goal down (aye right). Thistle came storming back into the game with three goals in the remaining 30 minutes. The first of which was from the penalty spot. The kick being awarded after Andy Lawrie was sent off for a tackle on Gerry Britton. Britton made no mistake from 12 yards. Former Clydebank defender James McKinstry made it 4-1 when he placed Jamie Dolans cut back into the top corner and Britton completed a double a few minutes later when he turned Oponga and fired a powerful shot into the top left. |
