Extended highlights now available of the Partick Thistle Quarter Final in 2002.

Hi, 

Prematch v Partick is here.  The extended highlights of the game I'll get uploaded this week. 

An absolute classic available on YouTube from half 5 today. 

8 goals, 2 penalties and 2 red cards,  it's Inverness CT v Queens Of The South from 2002/03.

Highlights now uploaded on YouTube from the abandoned game at Kilmarnock in 2001.

Did any of you off here go?

More ICT videos uploaded from 2000-01.

Alloa and Ayr away from January and Livingston at home at the end of April. 

Saw mention of Ayr's ground on another thread and it got me thinking how it is by far and away the best ground in the country with all the old style terracing.

Wish there were a lot more like that and hope they don't redevelop it or move out any time soon. 

Been adding plenty more of Mantis's old ICT videos to YouTube.

Loads just gone up from 1999-00 and 2000-01 with plenty more still to come. 

Enjoy!

Highlights of Caledonian FC v Elgin from April 1990 available from 7pm tonight:

Where did you get your hands on that footage? Never seen it before. A great performance against a decent Dees side with Jim Duffy, Morton Weighorst, Gerry Britton, Neil Duffy and George Shaw. They had beaten us comfortably in the League Cup 3-0 at Dens.

HCVF.  Got in touch with them a couple of years ago to see if they still had footage from the early days.  Didn't expect they would but they've got about 20 from 1990-1995.  Bought them all, just takes time to edit down to watchable highlights. 

John Scott took the penalty in normal time.  Not sure why he was taking it.  Didn't look confident and with Mike Andrew and Charlie Christie on the pitch you'd have thought one of them would have taken it (both took very good penalties in the shoot out).

Got a Highland League game from 1990 ready to upload but internet's been down all day.

Do you remember the Dundee game?

Rare footage.

Match highlights from 1994-95.

Caledonian Thistle v Dundee available on YouTube from 11:30 this morning. 

Just time to squeeze it in before ICT v Hearts on the official ICT channel at 12.

Don't have highlights of Stirling Albion from 1990 I'm afraid but some very rare highlights uploading this weekend:

A Caledonian Thistle game from 1994-95 and a Caledonian FC Highland League game from 1989-90.

The cup tie against Aberdeen from 2000:

It's not early 2000's and it's not ICT either,  but here's Caley's last ever Cup Final.  Anybody remember it?  A magazine article from around the time said that some Caley fans organised a swearing campaign in protest at the merger aimed at disrupting television coverage of the game.

I like to watch You Tube videos on tv. What is the name of the channel so I can search for it?

Cheers!

There's a few season by season playlists and one big playlist in chronological order from 1993 news items about the early days of the merger through to the championship win in 2004.

Here's the Partick and Clyde games:

Been having a look at your channel. Terrific stuff. And lots more to come. What an amazing history the club has packed in, especially in the Cup. Just been reliving the Partick game from 2002 from my own stuff, what a game and great coverage of the team travelling down from a snowbound Inverness.That team would walk the Championship nowadays. Also the Clyde game in 2004.

Such a shame that Paterson left when he did.  Would have been great to see him take the club all the way from the 3rd to the Premier with that brand of football.  I always wished I could have seen the first half season that he was in charge when every other week was a 5-0 or a 5-1.  And that Albion game when it was 6-0 at half time and he said the players let the club down when it finished 6-1.

Always came across really well in interviews aswell.

Have any of you guys ever met him?

Got plenty 2002-3 you can have Brian. Maybe other stuff too. Will PM you.

That would be fantastic.  Thanks Mantis!!!

Many thanks. I hope to get going with the conversion before the end of the week. Will be in touch if required. 

Would be great to have most of that season uploaded. 

You didn't happen to find any 2002/03 aswell did you?  Got a gaping hole in what I've got at what was a time when the football being played was the best I've seen. 

Uploaded more videos this morning by the way,  including Caley v Clyde from 1992 (footage supplied by Mantis):

This lockdown and a rainy day had me having a rummage around in loft yesterday. Unfortunately there was nothing up there that would be of interest to Flog It or the Antiques Roadshow but I did come across a gem....it's a VHS Tape recording of almost the entire 2003-04 season involving just ICT games. The games were recorded off the box by Uncle Albert who painstakingly put it together week in week for Gringo Junior. Also in the loft were a couple of VHS Recorders/Players which, after a good dusting and clean, actually work. I have software now that can convert this VHS to a DVD or MP4 format. 

The footage, if I recall, does have a couple of games missing probably due to no highlights being broadcast at the time. Of course, when Uncle Albert started recording this he had no idea he was starting to compile a record of our title winning season. I'm going to enjoy watching this.

Give me a shout if you want me to upload them to Youtube! 

More ICT videos from the late 1990's / early 2000's uploaded today. 

Enjoy:

Some fantastic photos there and thank you very much providing the match reports for the last matches. 

Jaggernaut, what's your memories of the 1986/87 season?  Did Thistle start the season favourites?  Or was it a surprise title win?  Was the Parkhead game in 85 the impetus for the title win in 87 either financially or in terms of momentum?

Hi, I haven't been on here for a while. Unfortunately I was admitted to Raigmore Hospital with a virus, thankfully not Covid 19, but it was serious enough to be rushed in. I got home last monday and I am now recuperating well.

I have an autographed programme of that last Jags game, one of the saddest days of my life, and I took a lot of photos. I also have numerous match reports of that very surreal day. I will try and dig them out and post them over the next few days.

My son was 13 at the time and celebrates his 40th birthday this month, April, how time has flown. 

Hope you're ok now. 

Thanks Mantis.

What was the atmosphere like that day?  From seeing some of the old videos from that season it seems that  fans got quite vocal around October, November, December but by April time it seems like the crowds had quietened down and/or drifted away. 

Jaggernaut, I'm counting on you for the Thistle Lossie report

Is it possible to get it in England?

1 question - why did we wear all white?
