lady-isobel-barnett Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Some talent in that photo. Incidentally was talking with George Smith's son in law a couple weeks back and I hear George who's in his mid eighties is in fine fettle.

After teaching he worked on the old BBC Sportscene as a match editor, for some reason I heard he doesn't care much for Thistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 I might have been but probably not. Niven, Hogan and Neil Duffy? The Celtic player is maybe John Hughes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted October 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 I also thought Charnley, but I don't think I'd recognize Flood. The friend who sent me the pic wrote that it was vs. Raith Rovers, 1990. Since Firhill features prominently, I'll mention that I watched a blogger's video of the game against Morton, and it started with some shots of the facade of the main stand, which frankly looks almost derelict, with weeds growing out of it, cracked wooden window frames that have partly rotted away, cracked and peeling harling and paintwork.... I wonder, is the plan just to let it slowly decay and fall into ruin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder, is the plan just to let it slowly decay and fall into ruin? Yes quite agree. It's actually a bloody disgrace and could easily be made to look a whole sight better with minimal effort. That is the part of the ground featured in any TV news or press articles so surely for the sake of the clubs image you would make an attempt to make the place look presentalbe at least!

Jaggernaut Posted December 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Got to admit that I didn't recognize either of these two new signings. I made a stab at one of them (not literally!), but got it wrong. I lived abroad at the time (as now) and it was pre-internet, so that's my excuse. And how young does The Great Lambini look here?! I now have the players" identities, in case nobody else does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe the driver Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Would I be right in thinking we signed 2 players from St Midden in the late 80s. One was Billy Abercrombie, on the left (sent off in his first game, I think). Can't remember the other ones name Edited December 1, 2022 by joe the driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted December 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Now that I look at it again, the one on the right looks a bit pot-bellied..... maybe a bit slow to get forward/run back/ move into position/understand that the holes in the turf weren't just a foraging opportunity.....

Jaggernaut Posted December 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 As well as a bunch of recognizable Thistle players, there's also an ex-Jag here. All pretty easy for older fans, with the possible exception of the goalie.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 against Motherwell. Joe McBride the ex jag. Guessing as Joe Hogan playing it was circa 63-64? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a f kincaid Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 27/2/1965 Motherwell 0-2 Partick Thistle. It was Harry Davis' only appearance for Thistle at Fir Park. Motherwell...Wyllie, Thomson, R McCallum, Delaney, Martis, W McCallum, Coakley, Murray, McBride, Hunter, Lindsay. Thistle...Gray, Campbell, Muir, Davis, Harvey, Cunningham, Hogan, HAINEY, McLindon, EWING, McParland. A defensive mix-up led to a hand ball and Ewing scored with the pen (14). Hainey got an easy 2nd (35) following a defensive error. Thistle were well on top by h-t with the Motherwell defence all over the place. They improved in the 2nd half but constantly fell into Thistle's off-side trap. A comfortable win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
