Partick Th 3 Dundee 1, Firhill, 28/Oct/06

Got the 10:19 train to Glasgow, getting there at 12:00. Then got the underground up to St Georges Cross and made my way to Munn's Vaults where I had a few pints with the Glasgow Dee's. Time passed quickly and it was time to go to the game. I met Vic and Nicky in the ground they had been shopping and left Dundee at 07:30.
To the game and we start well and we could have taken the lead, but against the run of play and Thistle took the lead with a well taken goal. Poor from our point of veiw as we did not close them down quick enough. The Alex Rae got booked for dissent. Then not long after that Alex Rae made a great run and from 18 yards he levelled the game at 1-1. Then after celebrating too much the ref booked Alex again and off he went. Then just before half time Thistle scored from a corner, but it did look like a corner and again poor marking.
Into the second half and we again look good and in control and only a great save from the Thistle keeper stopped Andy McLaren from scoring with a clever lob. But with about 20 minutes to go and the ref gave Partick a soft looking penalty and that was the end of the game for us.
Bryan Deasley came on and at least he got a run out.
After the game I went back to Munn's Vault and had a few beers with the Glasgow Dees and a few from the Aberdeen Branch. A good day out and the only down point was the score.I left Maryhill around 19:30 getting home to Cupar at 21:30.
