Match Report

TTA report

Sharp (4) and Smith (37) scored but it was totally against the run of play. Thistle were 2nd best to Second Division Dunfermline who missed a sitter and had a good shout for a pen. A shot in the top corner (62) sparked a revival and the equaliser came (82). 2 pens for fouls (84 and 87) confirmed a real shocker of a result.
