A gem by Johnston when he cracked in a cross field pass (33) gave Thistle a deserved lead. They looked comfortable until a goal from a run through the middle was flagged (yards) off-side (88). Falkirk protested, linesman changed his mind, goal, Thistle protested, several bookings, goal stood. Outrageous.
