Match Report

TTA report

A welcome 3 points in a match in which both teams enjoyed spells of pressure. Cameron (who excelled in midfield) cleared a shot off the line. Bottom club Falkirk had a goal disallowed to give them a free-kick for a foul in the build-up. McWilliams hit the bar (57) then a curling shot by Foster (59) won it 2 minutes later.

Media report

Meg Scott, 19-Nov-1995, Scotland on Sunday

FOSTER'S ITALIAN JOB CLINCHES IT. FOOTBALL purists may cry out for a more continental style of play in this country, but there is still something to be said for a good old-fashioned Scottish dog-fight. Falkirk and Partick Thistle will probably never be two of the most cultured sides in the country, but not many would have left Brockville yesterday wishing they hadn’t bothered to brave the cold weather and humble surroundings of the rather dilapidated little stadium.

Thistle fans went home the happier, with a win and a glorious goal from Wayne Foster in the 60th minute to recall on their journey west along the M8. Derek McWilliams laid the ball back to the striker out on the left flank and, from 25 yards, after cutting the ball inside to his right foot, he unleashed a wonderful curling ball that ended its flight in the far top corner of Tony Parks’ net. Thistle's efforts lifted them off the bottom of the table and they can breathe a sigh of relief, now two points clear of the Brockville side with a game in hand.
