Poor game, big win.

Media report

25-Oct-1999, Daily Record

LAMBIE: I'M BANKING ON A KICK-START. JOHN LAMBIE hates to struggle at the bottom of Division Two - but he reckons life could be even worse for hard- up Thistle. The Firhill manager said: “For a club of our stature to be in this position is disappointing but we could be playing in the amateur league because it's all about money and we just don't have it.” Victory over Stenny was only Thistle's second league win this season - and Lambie is praying it will spark a revival. He said: “I hope this will kick-start our season. In most of our games we've had 70 or 80 per cent of the play and nothing to show for it. The second half was scrappy but the players ground out a result. They showed desire to win but they should always go on to the park with that.” Robert Dunn bagged the only goal on the half-hour after being set up by Namibian Quinton Jacobs. The two frontmen combined well and could have racked up at least two more goals. Colin McKinnon blew a great chance to level when he headed straight at keeper Kevin Budinauckas. Stenny boss Graeme Armstrong said: “We played well enough to get a draw - we didn't deserve to lose.”
