    There's still time for Yan Dhanda to show brilliant feet and feed in a brilliant front-post cross.

    But David Mitchell claims.

    County survive the corner and win a free-kick. Should be half time.

    Fantastic defending!

    Scott Tiffoney clips a delightful ball to the back post. Brian Graham looks set to power in a header at the back post, but Keith Watson gets a vital touch.

    Corner.

    The emotions for both teams have been up and down, huge peaks and dramatic troughs.

    Simon Murray, you have to do better.

    The County man is racing towards the Thistle box but he takes two massive touches and loses the ball.

    Hearts in mouth for the County defence.

    A Thistle head wins a cross into the home box but no-one can provide the finishing touch.

    It's two players going for the ball... an absolute nonsense.

    How can you punish someone for that?

    Simon Murray has lost it a bit.

    He gets yellow carded from Nick Walsh for a slight head clash with Kevin Holt.

    He's fuming with the referee.

  11. ouch!

    Players are dropping all over the place.

    It's Alex Samuel who is down now and he'll have to make way for Jamie Williamson.

    Here come Thistle now.

    Brian Graham wins a header and it falls into the path of Scott Tiffoney, who has a tame shot from range saved.

    Ross County have the upper-hand at the moment.

    Thistle have started to regain a little composure, so County don't quite have that huge surge of momentum they did at the tail end of regulation time.

    Dearie me. A long throw comes into the Thistle box, it's knocked about a bit then Alex Samuel heads it.

    The County striker's effort loops onto the bar then over.

  15. ouch!

    Ouch!published at 18:44 British Summer Time 4 June 2023

    Another break in play as Brian Graham needs treated for a clash with Keith Watson.

    No foul in there. Just an arm across the striker's chest.

    Jack McMillan looks like he isn't wearing any socks.

    A sign of heavy legs. He won't be the only one.

  17. ouch!

    Break in play as Kevin Holt and Josh Sims collide. Accidental.

    Thistle fly forward but Scott Tiffoney can't find a pass.
