Match Report

TTA report

On a dangerous, rutted pitch, a younger Thistle team had a lot of possession but failed to take any of the chances they made. A neat 1-2 with McLean led to McKinstry opening the scoring (65) then a Hardie header from a Buchan cross wrapped things up for Thistle (83).

Media report

19-Jul-2002, Daily Record

McKINSTRY WONDER GOAL SMALL COMFORT FOR JAGS. WING wizard James McKinstry last night sent Partick Thistle on their way to the second win of their pre-season tour of Ireland. But Banjo's stunning second-half strike which sealed a 2-0 win over Bangor was one of the few bright moments of a dire clash. Even sub Martin Hardie's late header did little to disguise the fact Jags could be in for a torrid time when they join the SPL big guns. Ex-Bairns ace Ian Morris almost marked his debut with a goal inside two minutes and although the SPL new boys dominated possession they lacked punch up front. And Lambie's side were almost punished on the half-hour when ex-Celt Paul Byrne had Kenny Arthur scrambling to cover a near-post shot. Jags stepped up a gear after the break and were rewarded when McKinstry went on a mazy run down the right before playing a neat one-two with Gerry Britton and burying an unstoppable shot into the corner. JOHN LAMBIE blasted the state of Bangor's Clandeboye Park pitch after Partick Thistle stuttered to a 2-0 victory last night. Jags eventually put the Irish side to the sword with a cracking James McKinstry strike and Martin Hardie header but Lambie was raging at the dangerously rutted pitch. Lambie said: “I thought the park was a disgrace and a danger to the players. It was heavily sanded and there were holes all over the place. The big worry was someone could have picked up a serious injury. Normally the parks here are good but this one was a shocker. It was another good workout and we scored two well-worked goals. But there were things that annoyed me and I thought we were far too casual at the back. But these games are all about getting ready for the league.” Jags conclude their mini-tour against Irish champions Portadown tomorrow.
