The Partick Thistle thread


Recommended Posts

It's OK, the PTFC Trust will have a word with the tribunal panel and we'll get £1.5m. 

Rudden is fine for this level but not convinced he's got it for the top flight, though he is still young enough. Presume we budgeted for whatever we were getting for Rudden to cover what we paid for Fitzpatrick so it's probably a wash as the yanks would say. 

Though would i be totally surprised if we didn't file the correct paperwork etc and Dundee ended up getting him for nothing? No.

Last week a couple of TJF directors had a chat with James Cairney at The Herald/Glasgow Times.

We took the opportunity to set the record straight on a couple of issues , as well as to set out some of our thoughts on a constructive way forward for PTFC and the Foundation.

Any way someone could copy/paste it or find a link where you don't need to subscribe to the times? I must have used up my freebie views.

Night and day from recent PTFC Trust interviews and Jacqui's fairy story in the Daily Mail, imo.

Hundreds of interesting new Thistle history snips (like the above) have been flowing into the Archive lately, please bookmark the site → and keep an eye on the News!

 

After some considerable time hunting him down, our Joe finally cracked it with fallen hero Tom Callaghan. A late baptism, census mis-truths and a multitude of document spelling variations was challenging, but we identified Tom Callaghan's family unit and forced the issue with great results. A pleasure to get to know him. Begone the asterisk of doubt!

1971 legend FRANK COULSTON, has just turned 80 and, to celebrate him, we've added a tribute video and a wee photo gallery as well as writing up a decent bio for him. The hitman outscored even Jimmy Bone in the title-winning season 1970-71, with 28 competitive goals! He also notched 6 goals in the winning Cup run, including a brace in the crucial 5-1 QF 2nd leg comeback vs. St Johnstone.

We're very excited to be seeing the earliest video of Partick Thistle in action at Firhill being introduced to the Archive today. Featuring the game from 18th February 1956, it's endlessly fascinating to see. The relevant match hub data has been 'fast-forwarded' to back up the find so you can identify the players from the numbers on their shirts. Click on the hub below to explore this great find!

The latest 600 news items have just been filed as 'Archive News 30' a good way to get a handle on what we've been up to in recent weeks...

*************************************************************************

Our match hubs from 1876 to 1924 are now hopelessly out-of-sync in relation to all of the great work with births, new photos, renames and such-like, not to mention the usual never-ending improvements with small extra details. Worse still, there are also some broken links in various places as a result of some of these changes. Hopefully we can get back on top of it in the coming month(s). The Thistle Archive is in need of volunteers to help with uploading these pages - an easy but repetitive copy and paste exercise. If you can spare a few hours now and then, please get in touch.

Painstakingly compiled after more than a decade of poring over countless thousands of newspaper pages, our two brand new 'list' pages detail every sending off in PTFC history.

The first covers all the way from Thomas Campbell in 1891 to Kyle Turner in 2022. The adjacent page details the same for every opponent, from Cosgrove in 1891 to Scott Allan in 2022.

239 to Thistle, only 174 to the opposition, but don't worry these things balance themselves out over a season!?!

See Sevco U18s were playing at Firhill against Liverpool yesterday.

Whats the deal there? Have they been playing all their European games there?

I noticed they played Napoli at Firhill too. Maybe part of the agreement for getting Mackinnon and Weston ?

Don't know, but we were told we wouldn't be ground sharing with any other club. Maybe the Trust could ask why...

On the basis that we want the pitch to be protected as well as Rangers weans to lose then a defeat to Napoli away in their next game will see them out as will them failing to beat Ajax at Firhill in their last game.
