Match Trivia
Thank you, Mister Kinnear. Thank you, Mister Smith. From them came the goals that were good and rich and colourful and better than anything else in this Glasgow Charity tie. We were shown that Kinnear wallop half-way through the first half. Ball bobbed about the goalmouth, Smith might have got it, but didnt and so it was left for Kinnear, who gave the ball a terrific whang and shot high up. Brown, the Clyde keeper, got his finger-tips to the ball but that was all. And Mister Smith, man of weight and wiles gave us an old-fashioned shoulder charge goal. This happened for and half minutes after the interval. Twice-taken left-wing corner comes over for the second time. Brown takes it cleanly to his manly chest, but the prowling Smith uses every ounce of his fourteen stones into an old-time shoulder charge and sets ball and Brown over the line. Between these specials there was a buttery kind of goal for Rangers two minutes from half-time. Smith and Brown went into the air; down they came; Brown fell, and the ball slipped off the keepers body to Smith, who accepted graciously. A penalty-kick eighteen minutes through the second-half saw Rangers get a fourth, McKillop converting. And then a plucky not-s-lucky, but much two ambitions Clyde team got a goal through Noble that was almost good enough to stand alongside the efforts of Messrs Kinnear and Smith. Dry surface and purplish light breeze didnt make it any easier for the boys. It could have been a flop but wasnt. When you have the Smith avoirdupole in your forward line you are starting a few points up on the other fellows. Smith represented a whale of difference between the teams. Venters plugged away. Kinnear might have revealed more of the Kinnear wallop and Harrison is still aggerating that those fret that served him so well at Hamilton are as yet not so firmly planted at Ibrox. Very dainty George Brown was very good. Like Dougie Gray and Jerry Dawson, who has lost his jitters. That wee Irishman Edward Falloon put in flashings of hard work and finished one of the best men on the field. Clyde lacked the weight that tells, the big concur thought that tells when, and the good shot that should tell most of the time. Brown was brave, backs good and Noble looking set to work the ball on a tanner. Maybe thats Clydes fault. There are others who went to do what Noble appears keen about.
