The Thistle Archive

Earlier in the season Partick Thistle had beaten their Glasgow namesakes 9-0 at Muir Park, and it seemed that the southside club were looking for revenge in the return at Dalmarnock Park. Missing four regulars, Partick Thistle still had all the pressure at the start, but it was the home side who scored first. Partick Thistle equalised immediately but the goal was disallowed, before McKinlay, playing his second game for the club, put the visitors 2-1 ahead at half time. In the second half Robertson scored a third, and a scrimmaged effort made the score 4-1 before Glasgow Thistle scored, and a fifth Partick Thistle goal was disallowed. This decision caused a ten minute stoppage before Glasgow Thistle restarted and scored a third, and then a fourth. Partick Thistle players appealed for offside but the referee, reported as “having run back down the pitch, clapping his hands and shouting Come On Thistle”, allowed the goal. The game ended unfinished, both teams leaving the park with six minutes remaining. The final score was unresolved: Partick Thistle said the score was 4 goals (2 disputed) to 3 goals (1 disputed) in favour of Partick Thistle, while Glasgow Thistle say the result was a 4-4 draw.
