A relief to salvage a point against QP last night, c/o a stoppage time pen from Kyle Murray. No promised league tables from SFA but we'll have a bash at maintaining a Top 9 (of 12) snapshot via the 'My Scottish Football' app, first upload today... 2026-27 (Youth - Under 19s) →

The under 19s won their match on Sunday 5-3 so can add the Johnny MacKenzie Cup to the trophy won in the Oban tournament pre season!

and a hat trick for a young Jag in International U’17’s

It’s currently resting in the same cupboard as “RealScottishFootball” the planning application for the South Stand, McParland park and TAG

Same here. I started typing this 3hrs ago.

Dempsey has made a big difference to how we’ve performed recently. His ability to pass the ball quickly and forward (!) has really helped Stanway, Smyth and Crawford.

Standings after Women's Second Round Good work from Dick Dastardly and Peaty FC. Third Round draw tomorrow evening.

Really good 3 points. well done to the management, team and the travelling support.

A hat-trick in the opening half hour at Palmerston last night for JAKE McCORMICK (pictured) keeps Jags top of the U-19s league and looking good... 2026-27 (Youth - Under 19s) →

They don't seem very far away and the sight-line fits with them being the chimneys of the Firhill Iron Works in Panmure Street, shown in this 1909 map. (By the way, if you haven't come across it before the National Library of Scotland's map site at https://maps.nls.uk/ is a fantastic source for historic maps) Correction - it's not very clear what's what in the map but I think the chimneys are more likely part of the glass works.

That was probably the worst dive I've ever seen in 60 years of watching football.

Ah, yes, stats can be twisty little blighters! There are a massive 64 historical instances of a club not winning the second tier title with 2 ppg, but only Clyde (2ppg in 2002-03) have been unlucky in that way since the 1994-95 reconstruction. Airdrie and Arbroath each missed out 5 times with a 2ppg ratio. In 1938-1939 & 1971-1972, the TOP FOUR all had a 2ppg ratio.

More depth and nuance demanded, fair! Looking back, there were only a handful of occasions before league reconstruction when the second tier was won with less than 2 ppg; 1912-13 (Ayr United, 1.807), 1924-25 (Dundee United, 1.842) and 1933-34 (Albion Rovers, 1.911), which is hugely surprising and clearly skews the all-time figure in a modern setting. The tighter/smaller second tier of today is a far more competitive environment than it was back in the day. Therefore, to get a more relevant comparison, it's better to look to the permanent reduction to a 10 team league in 1994-95 (which was also the first season of 3 pts-per-win). In the current circumstances, 2ppg has been enough for the 2nd tier title 13 times out of 31 i.e. 41.9% of the time:

That's a league winning type performance. Don't exactly mean a grinding out a result type of show (we were better than that) but more of a never say die showing. Livi fans may feel they deserved something out the game but after a slow start we matched them physically (no mean feat). And I feel the game was won in defence. Ours was able to soak up the pressure easier. As a bonus a full 90mins for Stanway, who worked his socks off, but then again they all did. Also it appears results went well for us today but there might well be a **** up with my phone as it's showing Morton winning a game?

A Russian vlog on YouTube about Thistle!:

Here you are.

Standings after Men's First Round All change. DD works wonders! lady-isobel-barnett & jagfox not too shabby. Second Round draw tomorrow evening.

So, Thistle and Scotland will meet on the same day for the 171st time; a 40th win-double would be very nice thank you please... Thistle & Scotland on the same day →

4-1 Thistle. We need our 'unpredictable' tag back. The irony being that if we do win 4-1, then I predicted it.

I fear a "binary" score-line beckons: 0-0 would be the most likely 1-0 would be the most acceptable 0-1 would be the most typical and 1-1 would be a veritable goal fest.

Wonder if our new scoreboard goes to this many decimal points. Be well worth the money if it did.

Good to see Diack getting a hat trick in what looks like a closely fought game v Hearts B

Not done one of these for while, so maybe I’ll bring us some luck. What do we do for this one ? Two up top worked well against St J in our first home meeting last season, maybe try that again for rovers ? I wouldn’t change keepers, every goalie makes a mistake., As long as it was a one off I’m ok with that. (well not ok with it, but you know what I mean) Would have Ingram, Ashcroft, Lourghrey, and Reading then Drozd, Stanway, Dempsey and Henderson with obv Watt n Samuel. Might as well utilise the squad we have and give some folk a shot on the bench. Especially Aidan. He seems to b going through a wee phase where nothing is coming off for him and people are getting on his back again. Hoping the decision to not go for Tiffoney (if there was one) doesn’t come back to haunt us. I still believe we are a good team / squad and we will be in the top 1 at the end of the season. A win here to get us back on track !

I haven't seen it mentioned, but since yesterday this site has been extremely slow to load, every page. In fact, on one of my computers it took so long that it timed out. Anyone else having a similar problem?

Standings after Women's First Round elevenone takes an early lead but the road is long, with many a winding turn. Round Two draw takes place tomorrow evening.

Slow for me for some time. Maybe site caught the Thistle midfield virus.

We have not looked god since the start of the season except vs Livi & Hibs we struggled to beat bottom of the table Morton have managed 1 point out 6 against the 2 promoted teams both away from home which is not championship winning form Think all Jags fans are concerned on how we have no back up strikers to solve our lack of goals it will need to be sorted very soon or our season will go flat very quickly

On this day 1949, over 30,000 at the palace of the gallus for Thistle's first-ever match at the Quarter Final stage of the League Cup. Thistle's 3rd goal is pictured below, another free-kick piledriver from Jimmy Davidson beating Tommy Younger in the Hibs goal.

Match sponsorships sold out till the Boxing day game and looks like Ayr game 19th December is a total sell out as well.

On this day 1977, Bertie Auld's Jags out gun the league champions in every department in front of 19,629 at Firhill. Sir Dougie Somner with the vital goal... lots of great pics for this one in our 'Gallery' tab... 👀 Sat-08-Oct-1977 Partick Thistle 1 Celtic 0 (SFL Premier Division - game 8) →

I liked the article. It was interesting and a different take on the club and footballers as a whole. It did not mention anything about division and the cliche Catholic/Protestant divide etc. If someone has a faith that makes them behave in a positive way and brings them comfort then its a good thing.

Amended Standings I mistakenly had Inverurie as winners of their tie against Lochee. Must be going loco. Apologies.

The club were definitely dishing them out to schools. I was offered a few via a friend in the profession.

A fair amount of shots over the bar today. Didn't take that as a negative more an indication of a positive change of tactics. Supported by faster movement. Stanway would still have been my MotM even if he hadn't scored. His work rate also exceptional.

Hallelujah! ✝️

Ok. I’ll rephrase that. One of them isn’t playing 🤣 No Fitzpatrick in starting 11

.....work down the mill, fourteen hours a day, week in, week out, for sixpence a week Luxury!

latest score, go Jags

Clown! 🙂

Then taking the Thistle flying taxi to the stadium to watch the holograms play on the park

Sorry, but I do not believe for 1 second that the process is the same for every club.

Cue Admin saying, "We're playing a lot of good stuff...." 😞

I suppose that it is indicative of the incredibly high standards that Wilson & Rae have set that a narrow loss away from home, the first defeat in the league for 8 months, combined with a handful of low scoring games almost seems like a mini-crisis. If I can attempt to venture an explanation for this dark cloud of concern, it is not so much that the play and the results have been absolutely terrible, it is more that for the first time Wilson & Rae seem powerless to find and implement solutions. On so many previous occasions whether within games or between games, Wilson & Rae have made tactical tweaks, changed formations and/or personnel, and altered the flow in an imaginative and positive way. These past few weeks, despite a strong squad and a plethora of options on the bench, that magic dust seems to have deserted them. I am thinking and hoping that this is a temporary phenomenon, and that both players and management team will soon be back to their best, starting today.

On this day 1909, the first-ever match at Firhill! Today we've added the Athletic News report to the 'Scrapbook' tab and a 5 photo 'Gallery' tab is introduced featuring the first-known photo of Firhill, the first goalscorers (Carr & Raisbeck) and a new improved photo of the match ball. Thanks to Brian Brad Carr (grandson of John Carr) for the WWI photo of his Grandad (the first ever scorer at Firhill) who played for Harp, incredible... 👀 Sat-18-Sep-1909 Partick Thistle 3 Dumbarton Harp 1 (Scottish Qualifying Cup 2nd Round) →

It was a poor result and makes Saturday against Raith a pretty important game this early in the season. I don’t think we’ll be the last team to lose at Ochilview and a first defeat since January is no great disaster but it’s the performances in the last few weeks that we need to seriously improve on if we want to be pushing for the title. Wilson seems to be struggling to find the best solution for the team. Recruitment on the whole has been good but I do think we’ve overloaded in certain areas to the detriment of others. Macpherson and Ingram are two of our better players but both play right back. Throw in Cammy Logan and we effectively have 3 guys whose best position is at right back. Could that budget have been better spent elsewhere? An attacking mid or striker would have been more beneficial. I get why we signed Ingram, he was great last season but he’s twiddling his thumbs on the bench at the minute because we can’t fit him and Ben in the team. I doubt he’s on a low wage either. Watt and Samuel are both struggling and both seem to be carrying a bit of extra timber. I’m hoping the next few weeks will see us become far sharper but I’m not sure why they weren’t good to go from the off. I’d say Dempsey and T might be due a start on Saturday and none of the midfield could grumble about being dropped. Stanway has offered nothing on his return, he can only use lack of sharpness for so long. Ashcroft will come in to deal with Oakley but after so long out that is a concern. Plenty to ponder!
