Having just recently returned, yes the team played reasonably well, unlucky not to score on a few occasions, combination of weak shots, good goalkeeping and lucky defending. Friendly atmosphere and friendly crowd, would be interested to find out what the crowd total was, but apparently about 30 Stanley supporters present. Referee and his linesman did not know the rules of offside etc. Worse than conference standard and these are supposed to be national referees, god help the Scots, but according to the home fans, they are used to this standard or worse. Seems like whichever side of the border you are you get total a*******s running the game.
The actual goal that Partick scored was due to slack defending from a free kick where the attacker ran straight through our back line and headed the ball into the net.
Team as I remember it was - subs in brackets:
Dunbavin, Richardson, Rocky, Cavanagh, Boco, Mullin (Proctor), Mangan, Roberts, Doherty (Todd), Craney and Welch (Foyle - I think) but I may be corrected on this
