Summary

  • Partick Thistle go top as Inverness lose in league for first time this season

  1. Goodnight!published at 22:05 British Summer Time 19 August 2022

    FT: Partick Thistle 4-1 Inverness Caledonian Thistle

    Another fantastic Friday night of Championship action - unless you're an Inverness fan, of course.

    Partick come out on top in the Thistle derby and in some style, too. A Brian Graham brace, a Kevin Holt penalty and a diving Anton Dowds header. Not a bad night for Ian McCall's side.

    There's still plenty more to come this weekend, with the coverage in all the usual places - Sportscene Results at 4.30pm tomorrow afternoon, and the Highlights show with Thommo and the gang on the BBC Scotland channel from 7.30pm.

    See you then!

  2. 'Thistle outworked us' - Doddspublished at 21:56 British Summer Time 19 August 2022

    FT: Partick Thistle 4-1 Inverness Caledonian Thistle

    Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager Billy Dodds speaks to BBC Scotland: "I'm sore. Gutted, to be honest.

    "I thought Partick Thistle were the better team all over the park. Credit where credit is due. They worked harder, they kept possession better, and they got their goals. We gave them a helping hand with a few of them.

    "No excuses, we weren't good enough. I'm sure we'll get a reaction. My team have been brilliant all season and haven't let me down too many times. It's about showing next week, when we go out on the pitch that we're going to work hard.

    "Hard work was the difference. Thistle outworked us, especially in the middle of the park.

  4. McCall delighted with comprehensive victorypublished at 21:48 British Summer Time 19 August 2022

    FT: Partick Thistle 4-1 Inverness Caledonian Thistle

    Partick Thistle manager Ian McCall tells BBC Scotland: "Near perfect is right. We lost a goal from a set play which put a real dampener on the night. Other than that, we were very good.

    "We could have scored more goals, there was a real desire about us. There was a lot of good individual performances and the fourth goal was terrific.

    "We lost last week and it was as if the heaven had fallen in. That was our first defeat in seven games. We've got to be humble. Any team can beat you.

    "We're delighted, we've beaten a really good Inverness team who will be up there at the end of the season.

    "No, Brian wasn't allowed, because he's hopeless at penalties. That's simple."

    FT: Partick Thistle 4-1 Inverness Caledonian Thistle

    Partick Thistle striker, and man of the match, Brian Graham speaks to BBC Scotland: "I'm annoyed. I should have had a hat-trick with the chip, I tried to be clever. The gaffer wouldn't let me hit the penalty.

    "We just wanted to get the victory for everybody concerned. There's been a lot happening this week with the club, but us as players have to just concentrate on the football to be honest.

    An almost faultless performance, until the last minute, from Partick Thistle. Outstanding and aggressive from the get go, Ian McCall got his game-plan spot on tonight, but he'll be furious about losing a goal in the 91st minute.

  8. FULL-TIME PARTICK THISTLE 4-1 Inverness Caledonian Thistlepublished at 21:36 British Summer Time 19 August 2022

    A humbling defeat for Inverness. They scored four last week, and shipped four tonight.

    Partick were clinical, creating plenty of their own chances when Caley Thistle weren't gifting opportunities themselves.

    If Scott Tiffoney and Brian Graham can continue to combine in such lethal fashion, it could be a potent partnership that pushes Partick towards promotion.

    They move to the top of the Championship table.

    It won't be a clean sheet for David Mitchell!

    A simple corner is met by the head of Oakley, who powers a header in for a last second consolation.

    More than a few candidates for Man of the Match. Milne and Tiffoney have been excellent. I've gone for Brian Graham. Not just for his goals, but the way he's led the line. He doesn't look like he's slowing down.

    And Tony Weston is now on, too! Steven Lawless is the man who goes off.

    Just before the goal, Caley Thistle had a decent chance but David Mitchell denied Billy Mckay from close range. He's earned his clean sheet tonight.

    The pick of the bunch from Anton Dowds!

    Harry Milne - superb at left-back all evening - whips in an inviting cross and Dowds powers a header past a helpless Mark Ridgers.

    Tony Weston is coming on! Or is he? I don't know! Ian McCall doesn't know!

    The poor wee Rangers loanee is back in his seat in the dugout.

    Partick Thistle 3-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle

    A standing ovation for Scott Tiffoney, who terrorised the Caley Thistle defence on his first start of the season.

    Aidan Fitzpatrick is on in his place, looking to add to his solitary league goal so far. He scored on the opening day against Dundee.

    Inverness preparing another substitute, with Nathan Shaw about to enter the fray. He replaced Roddy MacGregor.

    Steven Boyd has injected some life into the Caley Thistle attack since coming on, but shooting from 45 yards won't worry David Mitchell too much.

    Meanwhile, Brian Graham won't complete the hat-trick. He's replaced by Anton Dowds.

    David Carson was the man penalised for the penalty, and he was booked in the process. Meanwhile, Steven Boyd is on for Daniel Mackay.

    Caley Thistle, last year's play-off finalists, didn't lose by more than one goal in the entirety of last season.

    Kevin Holt

    Holt makes no mistake, and Grant Irvine can probably breathe a sigh of relief!

    Interesting than Brian Graham, on a hat-trick, didn't take it. Or Scott Tiffoney, who was certain to score before the referee blew his whistle. Oh well.

    Oh, Grant Irvine. The referee has blown for a penalty when Scott Tiffoney was clear through on goal.

    Kevin Holt will have the chance to take from the spot.
