Thistle_do_nicely Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) You pretty much always have to caveat whoever you're picking tbf; anyone that legit shone out for us almost certainly wasn't here for long or if they did have a few seasons at the club, wasn't able to sustain it consistently or they would have gotten a bigger/more lucrative move somewhere else. Makes Doolan's career all the more special, come to think of it, tbf. Plus there's guys like Erskine, Lawless and Archibald who left but came back. Also just remembered Lawless goal against Aberdeen, would be my pick for goal of the century. Typically I'm sure we still lost that game, but the Scott Brown goal last night jogged my memory a bit, wasn't a volley but a similar gorgeous dipping action on the shot. Wooft. edit: actually no. Erskine against Airdrie. Edited February 17 by Thistle_do_nicely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 My vote for best goal comes from one of our most useless signings of the century. This view from Camallain is arguably better than the official club video which doesn’t keep up with the shot. Pretty much the definition of a worldie. Unreal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Goal of the century so far for me is Britton at Dundee in the cup in 2002 , runner up is Paul Cairney 30 yard chip away to Falkirk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Britton scored with his right foot into the top corner from outside the box at Brockville. One of my favourite ever goals. McKinstry v Clyde was a belter as was Shaggy's free kick against Nicky Walker. Fraser v Hearts or that O'Donnell one against County for more recent choices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 O'Donnell against Dundee United was another classic. Extra points for the misery it inflicted on Paul Paton. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Thistle comeback side there's the East Fife game I mentioned in 20/21, a 2-2 draw with Dunfermline at Firhill in 18/19 and a 3-3 draw with Hamilton in 14/15 which probably needs an asterisk as we came back from 0-2 to 3-2, then lost a 94th minute equaliser so it didn't feel like much of a comeback at full time. So that's nine 2 goal leads lost since 2013/14 and three where we've came back from 2 down to avoid defeat. One more now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was telling him that my loyalties may be somewhat divided as The Spartans have our boy in goal, not to mention Callum Booth and James Craigen, whom I described to him as the scooter of the most important Thistle goal this century. As we're not far off 25% of the way through, what would people's Thistle Eleven of the century so far be? Graham and Doolan up front are nailed on, but for the rest things aren't as clear. Should one go by their overall time at Thistle, or could you separate the good seasons from the bad for players like Barton, Osman, Keown, Dumbuya and numerous others who went to shite? Would it be fair to leave out, or include, future Scotland players like Hendry who only made a handful of appearances for us? What about guys who were great for us in the third tier but obviously lesser players than jobbers we had in the Premiership? The parameters need clarified before I can feel confident in posting my team of eleven Henoc Mukendis. Given how far back we're going, players like Alex Burns, Danny Lennon, Archie and Shaggy would all be absolute stick ons for me. I'd actually have Toastie ahead of BBG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The Gary Fraser goal vs Hearts still gives me goosebumps every time I think about it. Special mention for the O'Donnell one vs Dundee Utd, purely for the disbelief that it actually happened. Loads of jobbing players have scored one-off worldies, but for me there's something really, really special about a team like Thistle playing like Barcelona, even if it only lasted about ten seconds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal vs Dunfermline in 5-1 game in the promotion season was equally as good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 There have been better goals, but James McKinstry cutting inside on his left against Clyde and curling into the top corner is my favourite. Mind I was coming back from the toilet so was standing in the aisle perfectly in line to watch it curl in. He was one of my favourite players at the time so just one of those connection making moments. f**k I loved that team. Clyde. Wonder what happened to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished uni at lunchtime and into the Goose on Union St before getting the supporters bus up. Assumed I'd kind of hallucinated this magic goal with back heels and 20 yard weaker foot volleys until the next day when I watched the sportscene highlights I'd recorded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
