And so, to the last installment in our Scottish Cup story, capturing all the drama of Scottish Cup Final day in words and pictures. From beginning to end, tremendous energy and stamina were displayed by both sides; Thistle were trademark resolute and Rangers were frustrated. Meet the last two squad members; stand-in Watty Borthwick and goalscorer John Blair... eternal Partick Thistle legend! The Day The Scottish Cup Came Up To Maryhill part 17 →

Wonderful stuff as always. I love the word "ousted". Until I read your profile of him, I had not realised that John Blair's roots were in Ardrossan, and his career was launched with Saltcoats Victoria. A very good friend of mine is both Club Secretary and Club Chaplain at Saltcoats Victoria. I have just sent him an extract from your report and thanked Saltcoats Victoria for nurturing such a Thistle legend. The fact that the said friend happens to be the most ardent h*n in the history of the world only added to the pleasure!

A big thank you to everybody that made this thread possible. From the family members of Thistle players of the time to everybody @The Thistle Archive and also @East Kent Jag II,this thread has been fascinating and insightful. A great way to celebrate and commemorate the players who were involved in the 11 games that ended with us bringing the Scottish cup to Maryhill. All Thistle fans know what happened in 1921 and also 1971, in fact some of us auld yins were at the 1971 league cup final. But some of the stories from the 1921 Scottish cup squad most of us would never have heard. Who knew that a Rangers players knicker elastic might have helped Thistle win the cup. The reporting of the day was also a bit different from current reports, although just like 1971 we upset the odds to win the 1921 Scottish cup. The virtual medals are also a great idea.

Did we re-sign James Mckinstry and I huvnae heard?

Whilst we are in a good mood remember the survey runs until Monday the 19th: https://thejagsfoundation.co.uk/the-jags-foundation-survey/

Jesus, i might not like Celtic or Neil Lennon but what the guy does out of work hours is completely up to him. Guy went for a drink, got pissed wow. When did so many of our supporters become such cry babies..

Anything but a Falkirk win on Saturday suits me Then it’s one game at a time and we know there will be points dropped. As long as we are in control of our destiny I fancy our chances. we are the form team!

I reckon that Big Wull has already secretly taken over the Firhill dressing room; it's him who's now the real manager. McCall is the puppet. It seems to be working.

Excellent performance tonight. Tiffoney has made a huge difference to our attack and Bell has brought an air of calm to our back 4. Both look like a good bit of business. That was really the first time we have played a front 3 which I think McCall wanted to do for some time and its starting to gel. The top 5 split will be interesting. Right now it looks like first place will be between us, Falkirk and Cove. Its unlikely the 5th place team pre-split will have enough points to challenge for the title so with nothing to play for will they take many points? Momentum will be a big factor and it will be really interesting to see how Falkirk and Cove respond should we go into the split either in 1st place. Falkirk have Cove on Saturday and then Peterhead away. Peterhead need points to avoid getting pulled into 9th place. Cove have Falkirk and then Montrose. If East Fife get something from their game on Saturday v Peterhead then Montrose need to get something form the Cove game to make the top 5. We have Dumbarton who need points to avoid 9th place so its by no means a given we will get 3 points. However if we can somehow go into the split in 1st it would also mean that the first round of post split fixtures would be us v Airdire/East Fife/Montrose at Firhill whilst Falkirk play Cove again twice in 10 days. It could lead to quite a points swing.

Isn't it nice just to have our game done and dusted. On Saturday what will be will be.

There is being a fan of an other club and keeping it under your hat whilst a director at this club, and there is writing blogs appearing in podcasts, posting pictures of yourself with that clubs manager and trophy and financially backing the other club whilst a director at this club.

On this day 100 years ago there was bad news for all Thistle fans, as it was pretty much confirmed in all the papers that Rangers were going to win the Scottish Cup tomorrow. Are they, aye? The Day The Scottish Cup Came Up To Maryhill part 16 →

He writes a Celtic blog???? Get him out.

Anybody else got this horrible feeling that the playoffs will get cancelled, one team (the leaders) will get promoted, and we'll finish second?
