Match Report

TTA report

Budinauckas was red-carded when he pulled down ex-JAG Shaw who scored with the pen after Craig took over in goal (22). It looked all over when County scored again just after half-time. There was a stoppage of 15 minutes for floodlight failure then Jacobs scored with a deflected shot (77) but it wasn't enough.

THISTLE LUCKY STREAK ENDS AS KEEPER IS SENT PACKING. It was something of a culture shock for Partick Thistle's Namibian midfielder Quinton Jacobs on Saturday when a trip to Ross County at Dingwall gave him his first sight of snow. Despite the unfamiliar surroundings, the pity was that his strike 13 minutes from time was no more than a consolation as the Jags went down 2-1. An end to their seven-game unbeaten run was always likely after, a quarter of the way through the game, visiting keeper Kevin Budinaukas pulled down George Shaw and was sent off. Shaw picked himself up to net the penalty past stand-in Albert Craig, who was beaten again a couple of minutes after the break when Roy McBain finished off a run from his own half with a fierce scoring shot. There was little for the Jags fans in the 2392 crowd to cheer until Jacobs' late strike for the 10 men. The salvaging of a point, and their recent unbeaten record, proved beyond them.
