Match Report

TTA report

A draw away to unbeaten big spenders Gretna. Arthur made a mess of a cross for their 1st goal (31) and it was 2-0 on 49 (ex-JAG Grady). Santala tapped in from an inch when a back header was misjudged by the keeper (52) then a Kilgannon pen (foul, 90) gave Thistle a draw that had looked increasingly unlikely.

Media report

17-Sep-2005, bbc.com

A dramatic late penalty earned Partick a draw, cutting Gretna's lead at the top of Divsion Two to a single point. Gretna were cruising after David Bingham tapped in the opener and James Grady headed in a Baldacchino cross. Partick pulled a goal back when Derek Townsley diverted a Sean Kilgannon cross over his own goalkeeper, allowing Jukka Santala to head home. Then in the 90th minute, Kilgannon slotted home a spot-kick after James Gibson was brought down in the box.
