Admin - for some reason can't embed this video on WAT, the afore-posted Dundee game at Dens Park keeps appearing, despite being a completely different URL. Several failed attempts now. Could be an internal cache problem at your end as the exact same post is ok at Pie & Bovril?

 

More incredible vintage footage uncovered, a cup shock vs. Hamilton Accies (then 2nd tier) at Firhill on 26 January 1952. The conditions are beyond belief, different days indeed! Full match hub developed to celebrate the find, read all about it...

Conditions more suited to the Braehead Clan.

Absolute scenes at Peasy as Partick Thistle eliminate the Scottish Cup holders! What. A. Result.

Our top level youth class of '24 mark the 75th Scottish Cup match with the club's best-ever result in the competition, knocking out the holders for the first-time ever! Last knocked out Rangers in 1991 and ran to the semi finals…

That is a brilliant result. I see from the report that the young Jags were pegged back 3 times, but still had the courage and spirit to go again and net 2 more at the death. Well done to all involved, whether playing, coaching or indeed spectating.

If I remember correctly it was 4-3 after, believe it or not, the winning goal was a penalty! Do I get a bonus point for remembering that the referee was Wilson Irvine? 😂

The old 'Partickles' page has now splintered, Partickles (TTA) will still deliver mostly our own original and exclusive articles.

A new page, Partickles (In The Media), will house choice cust from press archives to fanzine pieces to programme articles to pamphlets to books and all sorts in-between, a place for all the general PTFC interest cuttings which don't have a natural home on player profiles or match hubs... several 'Partickles' in there already...

Not a specific Thistle fact, but tentatively Thistle related trivia. Former player Davie Irons is one of the punters on the BBC at the Threave Rovers vs Stranraer Scottish cup game. He was telling a story of when he was Player/manager of Threave playing a cup game at Stenhousemuir which was drawn 2-2. The replay was postponed so often that by the time it was replayed, he was then manager of Stenhousemuir.
