Match Report

TTA report

Thistle dominated for an hour and Peterhead only posed problems in the last 10 mins. Even so, a goal in injury time was a sickener after the defence failed to clear their lines. Snowden gave Thistle the lead with a shot in the corner from a short free-kick (30). The second half was a tale of missed chances.

Media report

15-Aug-2005, Daily Record

AL'S MOVED TO A HIGHER LEVEL; Superstar sub stakes claim for a starting place. ALAN YOUNGSON made a plea for a Peterhead starting place after scoring a spectacular equaliser. But the former Chelsea and Dundee midfielder weakened his claim by admitting he might not score too many more this season. Youngson came off the bench to salvage a stoppage-time point with a 20-yard stunner against a Partick side who felt they deserved to trek home with all three points. The goal hero said: “As soon as the ball left my boot I knew it was going in. It was a great feeling and a great point for us. Scoring so late makes it feel almost as good as a win. I'm hoping I might have done enough to get a starting place even though I'm not expecting to score many more this season.” Youngson reckons promoted Peterhead are on a sharp learning curve as they adjust to life in the Second Division. He added: “Even though we've only played a couple of matches, there is a big difference in the standard compared with the Third Division.”

Partick deservedly took the lead after 30 minutes. Derek Fleming's lay-off set up Will Snowdon to drill a 25-yard shot beyond Paul Mathers. But the Glasgow side paid the price for failing to use their lion's share of possession. With seconds remaining, Youngson clipped the ball expertly over Kenny Arthur. Thistle boss Dick Campbell said: “I'm very disappointed to throw a couple of points away with virtually the last kick of the ball but we only have ourselves to blame.”
