notes
  • Ross, of Alloa, is listed in inverted commas.
  • OH lists Willie Paul (1), Robert Currie (1) and John Campbell (2) as being scorers for Thistle. Neither GH or SC name any Thistle scorers. AA is very specific and describes Thistle's 4 goals thus: (“Paterson misjudged it [a strong shot] and guided the ball past Forsyth”); (“a wild shot going through unchallenged”); (“Lyons sent through accidentally, trying to head the ball out”); (“one of the Alloa team bungling play and scoring a fourth point for the Thistle”). In the circumstances, we feel we have no choice but to accept the AA account. With regards to Alloa's goals, the GH says Whyte / Lyon for the 2nd and 3rd, wheras the AA says the sequence was Lyon / Whyte. There is also a discrepancy between the papers with the second half goals sequence. We have gone with the AA for all of our goals data.
