PARTICK THISTLE 1, DUNFERMLINE ATHLETIC 4

FULL-TIME

90 mins: The 90 minutes are, thankfully, over. Into injury time now.

86 mins: GOAL THISTLE. Chris Erskine crosses for Buchanan who at least gets back on the score sheet.

83 mins: GOAL DUNFERMLINE. Furious reaction from the Thistle fans left as Woods shoots home.

82 mins: GOAL DUNFERMLINE. It's game over now. Cardle dances through the THhistle defence before shooting past Tuffey.

75 mins: It looks as if Thistle simply won't score. Rowson's powerful shot can't be held by Fleming but he blocks Buchanan's effort from the rebound.

71 mins: GOAL DUNFERMLINE. It looks like game over. Joe Cardle has had a huge impact on this game and his finish high into the net from 20 yards out draws aplause from the Thistle fans.

68 mins: Rotten luck for Thistle. The ball strikes Buchanan and then the top of the Dunfermline bar before bouncing clear.

67 mins: Cardle sets up Phinn who lashes a shot wide of target.

66 mins: Chris Erskine on for Paul Paton.

65 mins: Dunfermline corner.

64 mins: Thistle should have scored. Liam Buchanan lays in Steve Lovell with a great pass. With just the keeper to beat Lovell can't hit target and Buchanan can't squeeze the ball home at the back post.

63 mins: Chris Erskine is getting ready to come on.

61 mins: Gibson is only inches wide with the free kick.

60 mins: Shields fouls Kirk 20 directly in front of goal and is booked. A free kick for Dunfermline in a dangerous position.

56 mins: Lovell plays in Liam Buchanan who ignores Corcoran to his right and shoots towards goal. Fleming makes a comfortable save at his near post.

54 mins: Liam Buchanan comes on for Simon Donnelly.

53 mins: A Graham runs goes unchallenged and Tuffey saves but can hold his shot but the flag goes up as the ball breaks loose.

49 mins: David Graham gets clear of Paul Paton but can only hit Jonny Tuffey with his shot. Thistle a whisker away from going 2-0 down.

49 mins: Thistle corner.

48 mins: A Corcoran cross clips the bar.

47 mins: GOAL DUNFERMLINE. Joe Cardle shoots low past Tuffey.

46 mins: Early Thistle corner in the second half.

Change for Thiste at half-time Lovell for Conroy is the Thistle change.Cardle replaces McDougall for Dunfermline.

Crowd: 2,607 (406 away)

A few half hearted boos tells the story of an uninspired Thistle performance. Dunfermline have been little better and the 0-0 score is about right.

HALF-TIME

36 mins: Thistle have their first corner. Ryan Conroy will take from the right hand side.Cleared.

 30 mins: Very little to excite the crowd so far.

29 mins: Poor Thistle defending leads to a Dunfermline corner.

22 mins: Better from Thistle but an excellent passing move breaks down when Paul Cairney can't quite gather a pass inside the Dunfermline box.

18 mins: Dunfermline corner. Willie Gibson to take it. Paul Paton immediately concedes another.Good take from Jonny Tuffey this time.

16 mins: David Graham tries to curl a shot in from 20 yards out but it goes wide of target.

13 mins: Excellent delivery of a free kick on the right from Ryan Conroy but it drifts wide without a touch.

11 mins: It's Dunfermline that have made by far the better start with Thistle looking a little disjointed.

10 mins: Dunfermline corner. Eventually cleared.

10 mins: Nick Phinn has a shot blocked.

8 mins: A David Graham shot from 25 yards takes a touch on the way past and Dunfermline have the game's first corner. Partially cleared for a second corner.

0 mins: Dunfermline get the game under way and are shooting to the south end of the ground.It looks as if Paul Paton has moved forward to right midfield with Greg Shields filling in at right back.

PRE-MATCH NEWS: Ian McCall's team selection has made for interesting reading. There is only one change to the team that started against Raith Rovers, Ian Maxwell returns to the side, but how he has deployed his team will be interesting. It looks as if Mark Corcoran and Simon Donnelly would comprise the forard line, Ryan Conroy will move forward from left back to midfield as Alan Archibald moves across to left back to accomodate Ian Maxwell's return.
