Partick Thistle 6 Livingston 1: Insatiable appetite at Firhill will drive championship race to the wire
THERE was a moment, deep inside the second half on Saturday, when a peculiar reality took hold around Firhill.

Howls of frustration cascaded down from the stands.
A Livingston attack broke down and the ball fell to James Craigen midway inside the Partick Thistle half. Glancing upfield, the midfielder would have noted that the visitors were exposed but, instead of attempting to pick out one of his advancing team-mates, he chose to roll a pass sideways, maintaining possession but allowing the demoralised West Lothian side to regroup. "We wanted seven," brayed one supporter, not sated by his side's 6-1 advantage.
Several fellow fans chuckled scornfully but others will have appreciated that reason lay behind his frustration. After all, if Thistle and Morton maintain their form over the final few weeks of the season, goal difference could well be all that separates the sides come the final reckoning.

Couldn't make the game but my god it must have been grim for the hardy souls who did!
