Jaggyman Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thistle doing R*ngers (4-3?) in a dreich midweek affair in 1976(?). Alan Hansen, from midfield, totally bossed the show, scoring a couple and making another. One of the most one-sided games I've ever witnessed with the Queen's XI very fortunate not get absolutely caned. The Hu n support of approx 2000 were barely able to break into a rendition of the sash that night, so shite were they on the park. Heh heh. if memory serves me well Jags legend Kenny Watson scored a peach of a free kick for scumgers that night. Another 4-3 win against the scumgers was in april / may 1981 i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if that can be classed as a run of the mill game, that's one of my all time fav games ever.I was right behind the the goal when Hansen rolled in the late penalty winner and got booted in the arse by some drunken **** of a H*n for celebrating.Worth it though , met all ma H*n schoolmates on the bus back home to the southside and GIRUT.I remember the underated Harry Johnston was fantastic in that game.

joejag Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 if memory serves me well Jags legend Kenny Watson scored a peach of a free kick for scumgers that night. Another 4-3 win against the scumgers was in april / may 1981 i think Midweek 6-1 humping of Hibs at Firhill under wee Bertie. Think O;Hara scored a hat trick. Thistle scoring 6 under Auld was unheard of!!. Typical Thistle then went to Easter Road at the following weekend and lost 1-3. Although a cup game, another great night was the replay win at Love Street 3-2, when Lambie hadnt lonmg taken over in his first spell. Majic night. Buddie pals were sick!

Rid Skwerr Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Maybe not a "favourite" game and maybe not "run of the mill" either, but I think this game should be mentioned for its weirdness - Stenhousemuir 4 Partick Thistle 0 - some time in the late 1990s or early 2000s. The Jags absolutely pummelled them for 90 minutes, Gary Gow in the Stennie goal played out of his skin, and we came away with a complette gubbng. Strangely, we thought we'd seen quite a good game and a decent Jags performance (bar the finishing - sound familiar?) and it was just one of those bizarre games that crop up from time to time.

Remember it all too well. Cycled up from embra on an absolutely baltic day, but reasonably sure we'd do them. How wrong I was. Slightly baffled by the result too, as we (Trigger?) hit the woodwork about 5 times and I thought it was a case of when we got back at them. Lambie signed Garry Gow on the basis of that performance.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 The 8-3 game against Motherwell would need to figure as one of the all-time "run of the mill" matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I believe I was on holiday in Weymouth or Lowestoft that week and got updates later on. Was Kenny not MotM? No. He had a complete nightmare. I vividly remember some Thistle fans positioning themselves next to the tunnel (or what passes for a tunnel at Stenny) at the end of the game and screaming abuse in Kenny's face. I think he was dropped for the next game and replaced by Michael Brown, and then brought back in a few games later when we played Queens Park at Hampden (think we won 1-0). He was No 1 for the rest of the season from then on in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunky jag Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Garry Gow was unbelievable in that game, sure I remember in the same fixture later in the season they beat us 2-0, he had another great game, I remember a save down at our end tipping wide from...wait for it...Brian Hamilton!

GrantB Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I remember that 4-0 Stenny game vividly. Absolutely pummelled them, if the final score had been 10-4 to us it would still have flattered them. Kenny wasn't at his best but he wasn't helped by his defence playing a high line and allowing Issac English to get in behind them on a couple of occasions. Only difference between him playing for them and playing for us is that on this occasion, his finishing was decent. We lost 2-0 later in the season but in the 2 home games we beat them 4-0 and 3-0 so we won on aggregate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpool Jags Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 The 8-3 game against Motherwell would need to figure as one of the all-time "run of the mill" matches. Oh yes. 20 minutes of second half mayhem and magic in equal measure. The was Denis's most McQuade-esque performance for us; and that's saying something!

Archie scored a screamer. Direct from corner Hamilton hit a superb volley that got cleared off the line. Archie from almost the same spot as Hamilton sent it back twice as hard and into top corner. Hardie scored a great third. The 4-0 was our last game of season and was a great way to celebrate the title. All scored in 2nd half. Craigan's goal and his celebration was great and McGrillen (RIP) scored couple of crackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Rubble Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 when we played Queens Park at Hampden (think we won 1-0). A few facts about that day - both of the ugly sisters got gubbed, as did Gypsy FC. QP were actually top of the league before the game (4 wins out of 4). At the end of the season they were relegated!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If QP had beaten us that day they'd have been nine points clear at the top of the 2nd Division. McNally and Lennon f*cking RULED that day!

lennythistle Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I always preferred the second visit to hampden to play queens Park. Freezing cold day but easy 2-0 victory (Shaw and Hardie) and left that day thinking the league was ours. Remember the monday after the game Bill Leckie wrote a big article on us stating it was not if we won the league but when. He then when on to question if the team was good enough to stay in the first division the following season. Of course we all know we never stayed in it, just left out a different door than the pundits thought we would! Great times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Strangely the best run-of-the-mill game I have ever seen doesn't involve Thistle (surely we don't participate in such games?). Mine is St Mirren v. Clydebank in a meaningless League Cup match in 1983 or 1984 - Octoberish. Both had been knocked out so perhaps they played a bit more expressively than might otherwise have been the case. Clydebank were 2 up - St Mirren fought back to equalise, then with 8 mins left McAvennie gave them the lead - to my astonishment he ran to the Clydebank fans - about 150 of them (I was stood nearby) and gesticulated to them in a "Leigh Griffith" like manner - a strange action given the meaningless nature of the game and the total lack of antagonism previously. Perhaps the fact that Clydebank equalised 6 seconds after taking the re-start was justice but whatever it was it was very very amusing. The joy of that equaliser given what had immediately preceded it wasn't lost on they Clydebank supporters who mercilessly taunted McAvennie thereafter - I suspect a rare occurance of a player being taunted for his stupidity rather than................oh wait it was Frankie Boy so stupidity is probably about right.
