This is a false equation. The only physical violence perpetrated on the pitch was by a Vale of Clyde player and on the terracing by a Vale of Clyde coach (wearing a VoC jacket) , the latter running seven or eight yards to assault a Shotts supporter, who had been extremely vocal, but only that, in his tirade. Their actions were in no way justified, no matter what their fans/coaches (all of them dressed in VoC-issued jackets) claim. Shotts Bon Accord players and fans were entirely innocent of any violent conduct. Obviously I am biased because I am a Shotts supporter but, believe me, the accounts of BC57 and Sergeant Wilson are more credible than that of JDJ88 who is making it up as he goes along, attempting to justify the violent actions of two thugs. On a lighter note, have a look at Stephen McDevitt's photo on the Pollok website and ask yourself if any sane player would attempt to take liberties.

Downs is far right standing in first one and far left in second one. Joe Mbu can just be seen behind whoever is second left in the second one, and Danny Smith is in fact the one I thought might have been Swift in the first one.

Bryan Dingwall's in both of them. Maybe the guy Swift in the first (fifth from left, standing)? Stadium in the first could be the old Tinto Park? Or possibly old Petershill Park?

Aha! That was Jim Keenan.

If the Paterson (Sauchie) was a goalkeeper, it was John, more usually Jock. I have written a couple of books on Shotts Bon Accord and have never encountered the name Kegman as a player.

Any Thistle fan recognise John Hansen on Money for Nothing on BBC1 this afternoon? He was introduced only as John but it was him, wasn't it?
