Shocking defending was Thistle's downfall. Forfar hit the post (5). Donnelly (J) hit the wall with a free-kick then Herd went close. Forfar hit home a 25-yard free-kick past a paper-thin wall (19). Donnelly (J) turned and hit a pass-back to Brough who had left his goal (og, 57) and a free header (67) rubbed it in.
