I have not yet had the privilege but here goes. Thistle for the first thirty minutes were dominant but never made or took a clear cut chance. It seemed that we lost our way after the Referee (standard bonkers bloke) let the Fat Pie Man off with two clear bookable fouls. We lost our way and Killie came back into the game. Second half started even stevens and we lost a bad goal to a corner kick which got to the back post and got slipped in from there. You had the feeling that this would be your standard-game-against the Killie, play well and lose to a daft one but we roared back won a free kick courtesy of Erskine who w=had been having one of those off games. Higgenbottem lined it up and stuck it low past the keeper. It helped when the equaliser came so quickly. Play raged after that, Thistle playing some nice stuff, at times too nice stuff, and Killie looking to slip the channels or just stick one to Boyd to head on or head off. We survived a couple of moments that I don't think I even want to watch as replays including a bar-hit and save form Gallagher which was just on this side of miraculous and another that got tipped over bar round post. In the end a Taylor replacement of a hard working Doolan seemed to have let a ball get a way from him but recovered it at the edge of the box and turned to cross for the on-rushing Craigen to get in front of a centre half and goal keeper. Last five were an edge of the seat ride bit we got there. Just. Job done but not completely. We need to apply oursel;ves with as much effort on Friday night.
