The Thistle Archive Posted March 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 When relatives get in touch, it's truly amazing what tales lie behind some of our Jagsmen, and the story of Bert Haugh certainly falls into that category. An international man of some mystery, Bert was very much a man of the people who fearlessly walked a rockier path for a greater good, in spite of the F.B.I. His legacy prevails.

The Thistle Archive Posted April 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 On the 16th April, 1921, eleven men took to the field and defeated the Rangers by one to nil, thus securing the Scottish Cup for Partick Thistle. Campbell, Crichton & Bulloch; Harris, Wilson & Borthwick; Blair, Kinloch, Johnstone, McMenemy & Salisbury. "Now, what I think should happen is that people who support Thistle memorize these names, because these are people who are outstandingly important, and it should be part of the curriculum in Maryhill primary schools." (Robert Reid, April, 2021) You should listen to that man, he's very wise, used to be a head teacher you know. We're a' Robert Reid's bairns! Of course, there was more to it than those eleven could physically have managed, for the Thistle took an astonishing eleven matches to eventually secure the trophy, creating all sorts of unique records along the way. In total, 18 squad members contributed to the herculean struggle, almost wholly fought in the mud, wind and rain. These men are profiled in the stories herein, as well the two group leaders, George Easton (manager) and Sandy Lister (trainer). The pen pics in the story were written for The Day The Scottish Cup Came Up To Maryhill → and are slightly tweaked here to accommodate the single piece approach. They are listed in the order in which they appeared in that original story. Right then, pens and paper at the ready, children of Maryhill. Are we sitting comfortably? Good. Then we shall begin… The Class Of '21 → 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how about "has anyone seen Matt Wilson?". Same colour scheme and font? I suppose, though, you could ask the same question about loads of former players.

The Thistle Archive Posted April 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 For the first time, image galleries have been added to match hubs on the Archive (thanks to Stuart Deans for the cracking new photies from Parkhead) with the Motherwell & Rangers games from '21 being the first to receive this treatment. It would be good to see more of this sort of thing on the Archive, so anyone in a position to get involved with that would be encouraged to do so. 05.03.1921 Motherwell 2 Partick Thistle 2 (Scottish Cup Quarter Final) → 16.04.1921 Partick Thistle 1 Rangers 0 (Scottish Cup Final) → Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove those after Campbell,Harris,Blair,Kinloch and Johnstone. It's a style that has been used for a long time on things like band t shirts. John & Paul & George & Ringo for example. I'm using it three times for defence, mid and forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 One for the Stats Fellas and apologies if already discussed here or elsewhere. Last night's win meant we accumulated an incredible 19 points in 19 days. Can I assume that attaining a point a day over a period of say 10 days plus is unprecedented?
