The Thistle Archive

Before the semi Thistle had a friendly against Queen’s Park. Although not the force they were, due to non-participation in the league, Queen’s were still a force. Winning 5-1, then, at Hampden, represented a tremendous result. Crozier was excellent, while John Proudfoot scored three. Willie Paul, too, was in good form, so it was regrettable when he was sent off for “rough play”. Paul was distraught – in his career a referee had never cautioned him, and others in the game vouched for his reputation for fair play. Fingers were pointed at Queen’s Park players, who had surrounded the referee, clamouring for Paul to be sent off.
