Gogs Grog Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 My first Mo game was actually against Thistle at Links Park. It was before the new stand went up with the side terracing full. The thing that stands out was all the jags fans having a kick about on the park at either end prior to kick off and a steward trying to chase them off before the teams ran out. He didn't succeed. I'm pretty certain we got beat but it's nearly 30 years ago. f**k me I'm getting old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOFOREVER Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Just to set the record straight we've met Partick Thistle 15 times in competitive games- all league games, We won 3, 3 were drawn and Thistle won 9. We scored 13, they scored 27. We also played a friendly at LP on 26th March 2003 and Thistle won 4-0. The only other times we've played each other were in a friendly at Links Park for the first time ever on 3rd January 1890 as part of our well established New Year celebrations and we lost 1-4. Again they were our New Year guests at LP on 2nd Jan 1894 and drew 2-2. Back then there was also a team called Glasgow Thistle but they were nothing to do with Partick Thistle who were founded in 1876. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have never met in any of the Cups, as MOFOREVER said. Quite happy with drawing Montrose, and looking forward to a first visit to Links Park. Hopefully the chronic “Plastic Whistle” chat seen above is kept to a minimum. Never realised how tetchy Thistle supporters were. Suppose it comes from being looked down on by fellow weedgies and always asked who their big team is. Sad I won't be there to experience the absolutely stellar patter of Harry Wraggs' fans and the Glesga banter from their Hyndland intelligentsia... West-end Ultras! (See attached pic.)

Was that the game where the Jags secured promotion at the end of the season and they invaded the hallowed turf at the final whistle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummo Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) I remember the day when Killie were promoted. You may be thinking of that? My ex-gf, being from the land of soap avoidance, was amused by their rendition of "Hello, hello, we are the Killie boys". Thankful the Mo haven't stooped to the level of plagiarising OF doggerel. E.T.A. Checked the records and Killie weren't promoted that day. They still needed a point from their game against Cowdenbeath at Rugby Park to clinch second place from Scottish League Two in Season 89-90. Brechin were champions. The Mo were second bottom to, you'll never guess, East Stirlingshire. Edited August 17, 2019 by Brummo Clarity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it was definitely Partick at the tail end of the 91/92 season. I am mistaken though, I've just checked the league table and they finished ahead of Accies on goal difference so it didn't actually seal promotion for them on that day. Without checking the results i'm pretty sure our relegation was confirmed after that match. Our final match that season was when we beat Dundee at Dens, after we had already been relegated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years, there can't have been that many titles won at Links Park. Somebody better at maths/stats than me could confirm but aren't the chances something like 1 in 10, given there are currently ten teams, and 5 matches played home and away?
