stuthejag Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I've added my list of 'live' televised Thistle games to my web-site. Would I be right in thinking the Rangers game in the League Cup at Firhill with that Kris Boyd goal was televised live ? Any others I have missed ?

Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Interesting that in 2 seasons in the spl we only had 7 live TV games and this year in only 3-4 months we will have played 6. Sorry should be 5 with 1 delayed TV game on alba. Edited August 22, 2013 by Zaphod Beeblebrox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish Jag Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Nice list. I´ve got hold of almost a dozen of them. Still watch them from time to time. Two small points: - The semifinal at Hampden v Rangers was never televised, was it? - Also, I have the full 1993 demolition of Rangers at Firhill but I think that game was never shown live on tv.

Jaggernaut Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) There's an article in today's Herald about Friday night televised matches, and it talks about Thistle's performances. But I've used up my Herald freebies, so only got the first few lines. Would somebody be so kind as to copy it to the forum? Thanks! Edited to add: the italics are inexplicable. Can't get rid of them.

German Jag Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 There's an article in today's Herald about Friday night televised matches, and it talks about Thistle's performances.

Nowhere to hide in the glare of Friday night lights Callum Baird Friday 23 August 2013 There might be a downside to being the television companies' Friday night club of choice in the opening weeks of the season. A new deal is on the table for Steven Lawless The glare of the national spotlight has inevitably focused attention on a Partick Thistle side which has performed surprisingly well since arriving in the top flight; although the surprise would only catch out those unfortunates who did not sample their free-flowing football in the first division last term. "They only know how to play one way," said manager Alan Archibald of his young team. "If I tried to change it, it would probably affect them; so long may it continue. The fans realise we're a young squad, so they don't get on their backs." Thistle's recent exposure also means their players have been in a shop window of sorts; one imagines a chairman of some up-and-coming club in Scotland or England sat on his chaise-longue with one eyebrow raised and the corner of his mouth betraying a sly smile as he taps a reminder into his smartphone. "Most of them are tied up, so they've got to pay us if they want them." Archibald warned. "Unless it's a ridiculous amount they won't be going anywhere . . . not if I've got a say in the matter." Steven Lawless, one of the stand-out early performers, is someone Archibald is particularly keen to retain. "There's a deal on the table and we're open to speak to him," the manager said. "He's a real handful." It is Lawless' former club, Motherwell, who await at Fir Park on Saturday. "They're a wounded animal and are probably due a win," said Archibald of a side who have suffered consecutive league losses. Thistle did not win last weekend either, though, and were left to rue missed chances after passing their way through and past an ramshackle Hearts. "They were down after the game because they thought they had thrown two points away," Archibald sa. "We watched the game again and they realised how well they'd done. There weren't a lot of negatives to do analysis with." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redandyellowallover Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 That St Johnstone game was absolutely dreadful, I remember watching that in the Esquire with my old man when I was a nipper. Seem to remember late on in the game we got a good cross in between the keeper and the defence and a Jags player (can't remember who) was looking likely to tuck it away. He must have been in two minds as to whether to head the cross or kick it as he did neither. The ball sailed across his midriff as he raised his foot and bowed his head Might be remembering it completely differently though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spandau Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Stu, I think the 1-1 draw at home to Dundee in March 2009 was live on Alba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
