This seems to be totally implausible...but read on!
The Dumfries and Galloway Standard on 3/11/1945 reported that in a reserve match Kilmarnock v Thistle at Rugby Park on 27/10/1945, White of Kilmarnock had 7 attempts to convert a penalty. The ref decided that the keeper had moved too early 6 times and on the 7th attempt it was saved. Thistle reserves won 2-1. The keeper was Robert Doig Macfarlane. He made 6 first team appearances between November 1944 and January 1946. He was signed from Glasgow Perthshire and also played with Rutherglen Glencairn, Leith Athletic and Kilmarnock.
Haven't found any other reference to this. Pity it was a reserve game and got so little coverage. No way to tell if it is a record but it would be hard to beat.
Who am I to argue with the mighty Dumfries and Galloway Standard?
I'm more than willing AFK to bow to your version of events, at least we can now that say that a Jags keeper holds the record for saving the most re-taken penalty.
BTW were you aware of this or just employing sleuthing skills?

I’ve been trying for years to have this ‘story’ confirmed.
I read many years ago that we held the record for the most re-taken penalty kick.
Evidently it took place in 1945 against Killie ( if my memory is correct) and we had to re-take the penalty 5 times, I.e. taking it six times in all. In true Jags tradition when the kick was deemed to be legal, we missed it!!

Great pic.
The old Easter Road... Niven, then left to right: Donnie McKinnon, John Harvey, and Davie McParland?
Further back, in the centre: Not sure, but could it be Neil Duffy?
Tommy Rae?

I agree about the wandering Miller, so unless he has been given licence to do that by McCall, then McCall or Bannigan as captain should sort him out. Miller is fast becoming a passenger, and an arrogant and disruptive one at that. I would not like to see him have any coaching job at Thistle beyond the end of his playing contract.
Fair comment
-
At least Arbroath, QoS and Dunfermline all lost

Garry Miller has just posted a pic of himself in Falkirk strip on Twitter so think that's one rumour that is not happening!
Thank goodness

Rest in Peace, Sir.

It’s interesting that after yesterday’s game McCall has said “Dario Zanatta will be a very big player for Partick Thistle”. So I wouldn’t think he’ll be off anytime soon.

We are trying to bring back Gary Miller. His only signed a six month contract with Falkirk in August. Always thought he was quite a steady and reliable player for us
I very much hope not

David Hayman (actor) 2nd from the right, middle row!
Looks like 1920/21 or 1921/22. Kenny Campbell, 2nd from the right, back row. Alex Stewart with bunnet, back row. Willie Bulloch 3rd from the right, back row. Willie Salisbury. 2nd from the left, front row. Jimmy McMullan, extreme right, front row.
David Hayman is a great call

I think my post is pretty self-explanatory.
Great win. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, folks.
It’s fair to comment on services which the club fails to deliver., what’s wrong with that. Enjoy your Sat evening

No live text on the official site. Poor show.
I hope this isn’t a sign of how the club will be run in the future.

Tbh it still defies logic that Caldwell gave Harkins an 18 month contract.
Wasn’t it a 2 year contract?

Let it bounce off you in the full knowledge that you serve a higher purpose. Certain joys are not available to these people.
I do try to let ‘bounce off” as you say, but sometimes , especially when you hear it 500 hundred miles south of Glasgow, not only does your heart sink and you feel embarrassed about your home city but it also screws up your day!

I’m in the the City of Winchester this evening. I held open the door for a couple who were leaving the same accommodation into which I was entering. On hearing his accent I said “ Where is home for you”?
Him “Clydebank you?”Me “Maryhill”
Him “ Celtic”?
Me “No”Him “ F Off”
Him “Thistle”?
Me “Yep”
Him “ F Off”
In less than a month our calendar will show the year 2020, not for some methinks. As I type this I feel embarrassed and sick.

I'm not confident but we are unbeaten in four and Dunfermline are no great shakes, so there is hope. There is so much that can happen within the game, which these days seems to swing the direction more than usual. Probably down to lack of confidence. On a good day I reckon we're pretty capable, but unlikely to put it together for the whole game.
So, either team could win this by 4 or 5. And if they played again the next day it could swing the other way.
How right you were

The text commentary on the official site is worse than useless.

For me the New Owner thread has poisoned this forum. The know alls passing off opinion as fact in order to create an illusion of authority on matters upon which they were utterly ignorant has been a turning point for me at least but that is the nature of social media discussion I suppose.
I agree whole heartedly
Arbroath vs Partick Thistle
