Ross County 2-1 Partick Thistle (agg 2-3)
That's a chance. That's a real chance.
The ball comes across the box for Keith Watson, but he makes an absolute mess of connecting with it.

Five minutes of the 90 remain.
I imagine there will be plenty of stoppage time, though.

Michael Stewart
Former Hearts midfielder on BBC SportsoundIt's a bad tackle, he knows what he is doing, but it's just a yellow card.
I'm astonished, but just thank goodness.
But why is Nick Walsh producing the red card in the first place? He's getting overly emotional.
Thankfully VAR has overturned it.

This is absolute madness.
Keith Watson's red card is downgraded. Correct call. As you were.

Keith Watson isn't going off the pitch. He's adamant this will be overturned.

Former Hearts midfielder on BBC SportsoundThat's not a red card! It's a nonsense.
It's a bad tackle, but it is a yellow card all day long.
Gies peace, it's not a red card.
RED CARD - Watson (Ross County)published at 18:12 British Summer Time 4 June 2023
Ross County 2-1 Partick Thistle (agg 2-3)
What's going on here?
Keith Watson has been shown a red for attempting to chop down Scott Tiffoney on halfway.
Nick Walsh must feel he's denied a goalscoring opportunity.

Now here come Thistle.
Brian Graham has the ball on the right of the box but he blasts over. Struggling to keep up.

Phffft... thought that was in.
Jordan White loops a header from the front post but it drops JUST off target.

Huge penalty shout from Jordan White.
Don't know why, there's nothing really in his challenge with Aaron Muirhead.
County have a corner, though...

Thistle are still going for it.
They've had a couple of balls into the County box since that last goal. Serious test of character now.

Former Hearts midfielder on BBC SportsoundOh my word!
Had the nerves not already been kicking in, they will be now.
That was completely self-inflicted by Thistle, two goals in quick succession.
You talk about momentum shifting and building, that is it right there... this game is now up for grabs!

Ohhhh my.
Let the madness commence! Alex Samuel, it's fantastic. He skips by his man and drills a ball across the face of goal.
Simon Murray is there. Tap in. Easy days. Game on.

They might need to get used to it, Mikey.
