What was that nonsense about pens being taken at the RC end "on police advice"?!
Well done Ross County. Hard to take for Jags - 6th game in their playoff campaign and to lose it from 3-0 up.

Re: Partick Thistle v Ross County
Extra time it is! 3 big VAR decisions reviewed by the ref. None of them went in favour of the Jags but I liked that the ref took his time and was prepared to stick or twist on his original decision based on what he saw on the monitor, not what was being said in his ear. The playoffs has been a great...
