Match Report

TTA report

The warning signs were there when unbeaten Falkirk had 3 goals disallowed for off-side in the first half hour. A bitterly disputed goal (linesman gave off-side, ref consulted and overruled him, 40) and fine effort (56) won it. Falkirk were the better team and Thistle's forwards never looked like reducing the lead.
