notes

SC credits “Hamill” with Falkirk's goal, JL gives it to “Morgan”. We stick with the SC. JL gives both Thistle goals to Simpson, but we stick with GH/SC/OH who clearly state that John Torbet got the first, the press reporting that it was from the penalty spot.

Match Report

TTA report

A poor game with little skill up front. Jackson was a busy man but, in contrast, the Falkirk keeper had only to pick a Torbet penalty out of the net (35). 5 minutes later it was 1-1 (also a penalty). Simpson scored against the run of play (62) looking suspiciously off-side but it was a flattering win.
