notes

The GH has a differing sequence for Vale's first-half scorers and furthermore lists McIntyre at the expense of Murray. We stick with the supplier of our teamlines, the GEP, who also provide a decent match report.

match data help required

We're always looking to improve our match data in terms of filling in missing timings, profile pictures, identifying unknown forenames, missing linesmen etc. We require specific help in this match: What was the (afternoon) kick-off time? Who was the referee? What was the attendance? Who scored for the opposition? Please do get in touch → if you can assist in any way!

Match Report

TTA report

“…the play of the home team was all that could be desired“ (GH). Perhaps the weakened Thistle side had an eye on the cup tie the following week. They grazed the post twice but trailed 4-0 at half-time to goals 3, 15, 25 and 44. They lost 2 players injured and when the 9 men caved in “the game lost interest“.
