notes

We take our goal sequence cues from The SC. However, we've changed their first goal from “Lawson” to “Lamont” and their 4th goal from “Paul” to Lamont on the strength of EY, JL & OH who all say 2 for James Lamont. In other words, all 5 of our Thistle scorers concur with the aforementioned 3 sources. SC/JL say Walker for the Linthouse goal, but we stick with Hurry as per the SR report. According to JL, Linthouse had two Hurry's this season; J (an inside-left) and George (an outside-left). We've named this one as George purely on the grounds that he's listed at #11.

Match Report

TTA report

A goal by Lamont (7) got Thistle off to a good start. Campbell and Proudfoot took the score to 3-0 before half-time. The second half saw Lamont and Proudfoot score again after Linthouse had pulled one back. Apart from a spell after half-time which saw Linthouse score, Thistle were superior “in physique and tactics” (SR).
