Don't know the answer to that off hand but the no bookings outcome is seismic in the context of these two clubs! More Thistle players have been sent off against Airdrie than any other club Thistle have played (16). [Next nearest Falkirk and Morton with 15.] More Airdrie players have been sent off against Thistle than any other team Thistle have played (17). [Next nearest St Mirren 11.] Many of them will have been second yellows. Reports of these two clubs playing each other over the decades suggest it's hard to believe there were any matches where at least one player wasn't cautioned. They seem to bring out the worst in each other but in contrast, yesterday was played in a hard but fair spirit.

Since he's wearing the same outfit as Jackie Husband, my guess is he's "backroom", not a player.

Anyone got a link to the Championship shares of the prize money this season? "Needle and haystack" springs to mind.

Interesting point about BBC TV coverage Norgethistle. Is it correct clubs don't get anything for being televised? Seems strange any club would have agreed to that given that it only results in less income overall. Can clubs "refuse" to be selected? BBC must be pleased with the outcome. There have been some decent matches this season - ironically including Thistle's.

Wot! No pun about points?

Share and share alike?

This is well past tedious. Being swept along on the tide of so-called fan ownership doesn't mean an end to financial worries. They will always exist. Clubs at our level will always need investment from whatever source they can find in order to survive. Our club must be the only beneficiary of funding from a multi-millionaire but, in short time, have to rely on a random cup draw to be able to play the wages. Business men have put £500k into the club. From all reports they would like to top that up to £1m yet here we are squabbling about if it should be allowed and why, who said (or didn't say) what, where, when etc. Please find an alternative platform for all this stuff. First and foremost we're a football club and this is a football forum.

Wouldn't disagree with any of that. The worry is surely that this was against a team that is demonstrably the worst in the Premiership by a mile and only 3 positions ahead of us in the mythical 42-club league. They've won twice in 25 matches, shipping 42 goals in that time. We are often told there's nothing much between the lower part of the premiership and the upper part of the Championship and "league expansion" gets an airing. Are they that much worse than the other 11? There must be some reason they are so easy to beat but Thistle never really looked like finding it.

8 mins highlights up on Airdrie TV.

1 friendly included FT.

Yesterday was 50 up for Doolan. W 26 D 15 L 9 Goals F 102 A 60.

A common typo. If you go into the British Newspaper Archive this morning and key in "Patrick Thistle" you'll see there are 2,925 "hits".

Statistically, you are correct Jagfox. Since joining the SFL in 1893/94 Thistle have beaten teams in a (then) higher division just 7 times. · 1899/00 St Bernard’s (Div 1). Thistle in Div 2. · 1982/83 Kilmarnock, eventually! (Prem Div). Thistle in 1st Division. · 1988/89 St Mirren after a replay (Prem Div). Thistle in 1st Division. · 1999/00 Livingston (Div 1). Thistle in 2nd Division. · 2000/01 Dundee after a replay (Prem Div). Thistle in 1st Division. · 2005/06 Inverness CT after a replay, ET and penalties (Prem Div). Thistle in 2nd Division. · 2023/24 Ross County (premiership). Thistle in Championship. Remember of course that between 1902/03 and 1969/70 Thistle spent 61 consecutive seasons in the top flight so beating a team in a higher league was impossible. Keep a look out for more on this in the Stats Watch in The Thistle Archive later today.

When you've finished with hospitality and the toilets is there any spare cash left to upgrade the floodlights? They've deteriorated badly over the last few seasons. When I see Friday night matches on BBC I'm struck how much brighter other clubs' are.

Aidan Fitzhattrick surely?
