notes

The OH records Thistle's first as an o.g. and whilst reports in the SC/GH/DR acknowledge the ball hit off Kirkwood en-route to goal, and his intervention was crucial, there is nothing which categorically states that the trajectory changed enough to warrant the o.g. Further, the DR report states that the 'keeper was likely to save, so it seems a safe bet that Wilson's shot was “on target”. JL/GH/SR specifically state Robert Wilson was the scorer and we think this is the right thing to do per the standard policy in these situations.

Match Report

TTA report

Thistle dominated for 20 minutes but glaring misses by the forwards were commonplace then Kilmarnock scored with their 1st attack. Gradually Thistle got things right and Wilson scored with a shot that was deflected off a defender. It was a comfortable second half and goals by King and Stewart earned the points.
