notes

The NBDM only lists 10 players for Thistle, and we've presumed they've missed Willie Paul who is the stated #5 in the NBDM's (othewise unheard of) Barnett to be Bennett, our forward of the day. Also problematic is the initial “J” for Proudfoot at #9 as “L” Proudfoot is our expected forward of the day. We stick with Lawrence in the meantime per the OH, but some deeper investigation may be required. From the Glasgow Thistle perspective, we've assumed “Carmen” to be a misheard “Carson” i.e. the expected Glasgow Thistle forward of the day. The predicted team in the GEP (26/2/1892) matches the OH albeit with a few positional changes and the aforementioned Proudfoot discrepancy. GH reports a 4-0 victory for the Swifts v Thistle at Inchview, strangely, no mention of the first team game away. OH lists a 2-3 defeat here, although this was clearly a 2-2 draw as per APJ/AEE/SR/EC and AFS annual for 1891-92. The SR credits David Bruce with Thistle's second goal, although the EC says it was John Gilchrist. We stick with Bruce as per SR/OH in the meantime.

Match Report

TTA report

Thistle started well but once the Thistle from Glasgow settled they took the lead (10) with “a smart shot from the right“ (GEP). Thistle pressed but trailed at half-time. A scrimmage in front of goal levelled things but soon after it was 2-1. Bruce's “smart piece of play“ earned a draw.
