Partick 1 - Blues 2

Last updated : 10 August 2002 By Richard Barker
Match kicked off at 2.30 because of Celtic v Parma game.

Blues lined up 4-4-2
......................Vaesen
Cunningham...... Tebilly ..Purse... Grainger
Devlin...... Savage....D,Johnson.... B.Hughes
..........Horsfield (capt)... John

Apparently we are playing the above midfield postions when defending but when we get possession they just all float about and interchange - apparently working well... Savage and D.Johnson both having excellent games.

25 minutes...ish ,,, Hughes put Horsfield through who was pulled down. John converted the penalty.

Half-time Blues 1-0 up.

Cisse on bench and looks likely to come on soon.

2nd half Blues lined up 5-3-2
......................Vaesen
D.Johnson ...Cunningham.....Tebilly ..Purse...Grainger
...... Eaden....Hyde.... Williams
..........Horsfield .... Lazaridis

2-0 to Blues now ...

Scramble in the area , Horsfield turned and shot , seemed as if defender might have headed it off the line but ref said was over the line.

Partick scored midway through 2nd half put a bit of pressure on Blues.

Best we've played in the three games in Scotland.

2-1 to Blues Final Score.

Our man at the game was Richard Barker.
