If that’s a proper sellout (ie we’ve sold a ticket for every seat) then it’s going to be wild with unallocated seating…

There's a slight lee-way on it, so it's 'sold out', but there will be some spare seats. Just hopefully not to the scale of a fortnight ago.

Given almost everyone around Firhill would’ve bitten your hand off for 2-0 before the game I’m not going in for this “2-0 is not enough” rhetoric. That said, we could’ve and probably should’ve scored a few more and put ourselves in an even better position come Sunday. Play the same way as the 1st leg (and as we have last few weeks) we should at least win the tie. Won’t be straightforward by any means, but far from impossible, especially with a 2 goal lead and our recent form.
 

P.s yes I’m still absolutely shitting it for the 2nd leg though.

Just saw on twitter the efforts of fans at the train station on Friday night saving a guy's life with CPR. Bravo to those involved. 

 

Its crazy, the lack of defibrillators at stations, in Scotland. Considering the amount of people who use them. 

Excellent work by the people who assisted with CPR.

More records than the KGB! 😎 Most of the post-County updates are now in place on the Archive →

Does anyone know why the two home stands were described pre-match as a "sell out" and "at capacity" when (only!) 6,800 home fans were declared in the end? Isn't that's 1,200 short of capacity? 🤔

 

:detective:  CENTURIONS

 
● This game officially re-sets the bar as the longest competitive season in PTFC history (327 days and counting) taking over from 1995-96 (326 days).
● Thistle play on the 1st June for the first-time ever. Only 10 calendar dates remain unplayed.
● Thistle field the same starting eleven in a fourth consecutive game, the longest such run since 5-in-a-row in late 2020.
● For the very first time, VAR is used in a match at Firhill. David Munro has been the referee on both occasions when VAR has been used in a Thistle game having also been the man-in-the-middle for the Scottish cup tie at Ibrox in February 2023.
● Amazingly, Thistle have now scored in NINE consecutive first halves; you need to rewind to March 1938 to find a longer run (14).
● 16-year-old Dylan Smith receives the earliest red-card against Thistle (17 mins) since Stewart McKimmie of Aberdeen who was sent off in the 9th minute of Thistle's 1-0 League win at Firhill in December, 1995.
Brian Graham sets a new Scottish record for most goals (5) in a play-off campaign. He takes over from Simon Murray (Dundee United) who notched 4 goals in 2016-17.
Kris Doolan's Jags have now scored two or more goals in eight consecutive competitive matches. You need to rewind to September 1956 to find a longer run (11, by Davie Meiklejohn's boys).
● It's now an amazing 15 competitive goals without reply for this Thistle team, the longest such streak since 16 successive goals were scored in April 2021 (an all-time League record).
● On the night that we pay tribute to Hugh Strachan with a minutes applause, the class of 22-23 match the astonishing tally that Hugh's class of 70-71 achieved - 100 competitive goals in single season. Wow - it was written in the stars! The centurions of 2022-23 are now (jointly) the 5th highest scoring Thistle team of all-time.
● Congratulations to the PTFC class of 2022-23 who have now registered 27 competitive wins in the season. It's the 3rd highest tally of all-time, behind 2012-13 (31) and 1975-76 (30).
● For the first time in history, Partick Thistle have won a competitive match in 12 different months within the same season!
● Partick Thistle extend the Scottish record for most goals in a single play-offs campaign, now standing at an incredible 18.
● Partick Thistle become the first Scottish club to win 5 games in a single play-offs campaign.
● Partick Thistle become the first Scottish club to register 4 clean-sheets in a single play-offs campaign and David Mitchell duly sets the new record for a 'keeper.
● Thistle win to nil for the fourth consecutive competitive game. Kris Doolan's Jags are now one such victory away from equalling the all-time club-record of 5-in-a-row which was set by Alan Archibald's side in March 2013 and equalled by Ian McCalll's Thistle team in April 2021.
 
ongoing sequences:
● 5 consective competitive wins; 9th May 2023 to date. (Longest run since: 5 games; 10th Apr 2021 to 24th Apr 2021. Club-record: 10 wins, 22nd Oct 1932 to 26th Dec 1932.)
● 8 competitive home games without defeat; 4th Mar 2023 to date. (Longest run since: 8 games; 3rd Mar 2020 to 5th Dec 2020. Club-record: 24 games; 5th May 2001 to 17th Aug 2002.)
● 11 competitive games without defeat, 1st Apr 2023 to date. (Longest run since: 12 games, 19th Jan 2013 to 2nd Apr 2013. Joint club-record: 16 games, 15th Nov 1975 to 21st Feb 1976 & 30th Sep 2000 to 13th Jan 2001.)
● 51 consecutive competitive appearances for Jack McMillan, 9th Jul 2022 to date, a new personal best. (Longest run since: James Penrice - 51 games, 7th Sep 2019 to 10th Apr 2021. Club-record: Johnny Jackson - 313 games, 28th Aug 1926 to 25th Mar 1933.)

I believe they had a ~10% reduction in capacity as the tickets were sold as unallocated seats. Trying to stop people wandering around long after kick off trying to find a seat or some areas becoming overcrowded.

Is there any player in Thistle's history that has ever played in tier 6 to tier 1 inclusive? I can imagine it would be rare across any club in Scottish football especially when tier 1 is the last one to be chalked off.

I'm thinking Harry, 27 in October, could be your first.

Tier 6 - 14/15 Culter on loan from Cove

Tier 5 - 15/16 to 18/19 Cove

Tier 4 - 19/20 Cove

Tier 3 - 20/21 to 21/22 Cove

Tier 2 - 22/23 Thistle

Tier 1 - 23/24 Thistle*

That is clearly some rise and the optimity of progression. He will excel in the SPL too if Thistle finish the job on Sunday. Would be 4 promotions in 5 years for him.

Assuming he makes an appearance for them next season, Gary Fraser will do too having just signed for Glenafton in the WOSFL Premier League. So it’ll be us in the top flight, Hamilton/Morton in Championship, Peterhead in League One, Cowdenbeath in League Two and BSC Glasgow in the Lowland League.

Edit: obviously he’s doing it in a different order to Milne - a real shame the injuries absolutely ruined him because he was really talented.

Ah, thought it might be something along those lines. 15% would be kinda spot on. Not nearly as impressive a boast as it first seemed, but still a great turnout.
