a f kincaid Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 St Bernard's led us a merry dance on more than one occasion. In 15 competitive matches there were 6 wins, 1 draw and 8 defeats - including 0-7 (twice), 1-9 and 0-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as well! Dundee's goal difference was -7, Thistle's (you've guessed it) was -30 just like this season. Spooky or what? Mind. Blown.

The Jukebox Rebel Posted May 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 17.05.2018 Livingston [a] L1-2 (SPFL Premiership play-off Final, 1st leg)DOOLAN CLOSING IN ON YET ANOTHER CLUB-RECORD 45-year-old Craig Thomson takes charge of his final game in senior Scottish football. Baily Cargill registers his first assist as a Jag. Kris Doolan nets his 11th competitive goal of 2017-18 and moves ahead of Conor Sammon (10) in the battle to finish as top scorer this term. The number nine is striving to become the first Thistle player in history to finish as top competitive scorer in FIVE successive seasons. For the return leg, Thistle's most recent home record vs. Livingston bodes well, the last 10 reading: W8 D1 L1. Thistle are now bidding to become the third side to recently overturn a first leg deficit in a Top-Flight play-off final, following on from Hamilton Academical (2014) and Kilmarnock (2016). Let's hope the bi-yearly cycle continues… ongoing sequences: 18 consecutive competitive appearances for Baily Cargill, 23rd Jan 2018 to date. (Longest run since: Ryan Edwards - 35 games; 8th Aug 2017 to 3rd Apr 2018. Club-record: Johnny Jackson - 313 games; 28th Aug 1926 to 25th Mar 1933.) 49 games since back-to-back League wins, 11th Mar 2017 to date. (Longest run since: 71 games; 16th Apr 2013 to 14th Mar 2015. Club-record: 77 games; 2nd Nov 1912 to 5th Dec 1914.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jukebox Rebel Posted May 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) 20.05.2018 Livingston [h] L0-1 (SPFL Premiership play-off Final, 2nd leg)ARCHIBALD'S TAME THISTLE SIDE DESERVEDLY RELEGATED The biggest gathering of Partick Thistle supporters in 5 years bears witness to just how woefully ineffective Alan Archibald's Thistle have become. Thistle's yellow card count rises to a massive 88 for season 2017-18, certainly the highest figure in 21 years, and possibly the highest figure ever. Conor Sammon's 100% spot-kick record comes to an end, his lame stoppage-time effort now leaving him with a rather ordinary 75% success ratio. Kris Doolan, with 11 goals, becomes the first Thistle player in history to finish as top competitive scorer in 5 successive seasons. Thistle finished with a measly 1.02 goals-per-game in League and Cup action in 2017-18 (49 in 48), the club's 5th lowest scoring ratio of all-time. Thistle lose for the 25th time in competitive action in 2017-18, the 7th highest tally of all-time and the most horrendous total since the abysmal season of 2003-04. Thistle gain the ignominious distinction of being the first Scottish top-flight club to lose both legs of the play-offs Final. Thistle become the first Scottish club to be relegated twice from the top-flight via the play-offs. Partick Thistle are relegated for the tenth time in their history, and will now seek to be promoted for the eleventh time. 5 times out of 9 the club have bounced back at the first time of asking. league stats: Thistle finished with 0.816 goals-per-game in this season's League (31 in 38), the second worst ratio of all-time. Doolan's goal in the final match at Dens Park prevented a new club-record from being set. Thistle failed to score in 44.74% of their League games (17 out of 38), the highest failure to score ratio of all-time. 17 is a joint club-record with the tally set in the 42 game campaign of 1920-21. Thistle lost 15 League games to nil in 2017-18, a tally which matches the all-time record which was set in the 36 game campaign of 1995-96. Thistle's goal difference (-30) registers as the second worst since the criteria was introduced in season 1970-71, with the figure from 1995-96 (-33) remaining as the club's record low. Thistle finished with a paltry 11 goals away from home in the 19 League games this season. You need to rewind all the way back to 1912-13 to find the one and only time there was a lower total (7 in 17). ongoing sequences: 19 consecutive competitive appearances for Baily Cargill, 23rd Jan 2018 to date.

partickthedog Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 TJR. Time to cheer you up and get you looking forward to next season, a change of scene and a change of stats. Quite a few long away trips coming up. In alphabetical order and measuring the distance from Firhill and rounding up or down to the nearest mile produces Alloa 33 Ayr 36 Dundee United 82 Dunfermline 39 Falkirk 29 Inverness 169 Morton 24 Queen of the South 78 Ross County 182 Total mileage is 672 and doing it all twice is 1344 which works out an average of 75 miles per away game. Has the average ever been higher? Could we become the furthest travelled fans in Thistle's history? What will this do for our carbon footprint? John Lambie's First Division champions averaged a respectable 68 miles. You really need both northern sides to stand a chance of making a challenge. Even with 2 teams from Angus and 3 from the deep south (Stranraer, Queen of the South and Berwick Rangers), Lambie's Second Division champions managed a measly average of 61 miles, and this year's lazy lot were down at 57 miles.

Season 05/06 I estimate we travelled on league duty roughly 1120 plus an extra jog to Stranraer & Peterhead. About 1380 in total. Cannot argue with your maths (and would not want to provoke maths hysteria). So we may need to win promotion through the play offs to nail the record. Even then it is not guaranteed. If we finish second in the league, defeat Morton in the first play off round and then consign either Celtic or Rangers to the Championship, we would fall a few miles short. That would be so disappointing. However, TJR may want to argue with your modus operandi. Several years ago I tried to make a point about Mark Roberts' league scoring record by adducing evidence from the play offs. TJR took me to task for abuse of non-cognate data (or something like that). It was made McChrystal clear that if I had ever been a member of the Scottish Society of Soccer Statisticians, I would have been banished sine die.

partickthedog Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 On a quite different tack, with the Champions League Final coming up, and the likelihood that it will feature Andy Robertson, who launched his career into the stratosphere with a brilliant performance against Thistle for Dundee United at Tannadice, a question occurs to me. Will Andy Robertson be the first non-Old Firm player to play a competitive fixture against Thistle and in a Champions League (or European Champions Cup) Final? Obviously a whole hatful of Celtic players who played in the 1967 and 1970 finals would have played a competitive fixture against Thistle, most notably on 23rd October 1971. More recently Paul Lambert, Henrik Larsson, the de Boer brothers and no doubt others will have done the same double. But I cannot think of any player who has done this and not played for one of the Ugly Sisters at some point of his career. I say competitive fixture as, if I recall correctly, Dwight Yorke, then of Aston Villa, who lifted the Champions League trophy with Manchester United, played against us in a pre-season friendly-one of Kenny Arthur's earliest games?
