notes

The SO reports that Thistle played with 10 men “nearly the whole of the time” and adds mystery to this statement by listing only 10 Thistle players (omitting the OH's #11, Jerry Suter. We feel that the report indicates that a man went off injured early as opposed to Thistle fielding only 10 men, and therefore look upon the omission of Suter as a typesetting error. We further note that the FH makes no mention of Thistle's 10 men.

Match Report

TTA report

Falkirk may have been glad Thistle played with 10 men throughout. They led 6-0 at half-time but the second half was a more even contest and Falkirk (who lost a man to injury on the hour mark) had Thistle pressed back for long spells and scored a couple of late goals to at least draw the second half.
