| scorers in CAPS • used subs in brackets | |
| 1. Tue-02-Aug-2005 [h] W7-1 American University (Friendly) |
| – MP 6/8/2005. Arthur, Gibson (B), Haswell, Cassidy, CARTER, McCulloch, NICHOLAS, Gibson (J), STEWART, McGOLDRICK, FLEMING. (McCONALOGUE (2), Cameron.) |
| – It was as comprehensive as the score suggests, indeed but for the woodwork, more so. |
| 2. Tue-06-Sep-2005 [a] L0-4 Stenhousemuir (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 24/9/2005. Stewart (C), McDevitt, Haswell, Cameron, Carter, Santala, Gibson (A), Strachan, McGoldrick, Stewart (M), Nicholas. (Brady, Kilgannon, McConalogue.) |
| – A dreadful start to the league campaign and a night to forget. |
| 3. Tue-27-Sep-2005 [h] L0-1 Gretna (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 15/10/2005. Line-up as yet unsourced. |
| 4. Mon-10-Oct-2005 [a] W2-0 Greenock Morton (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 15/10/2005. Arthur, Snowdon, Gibson (B), Cassidy, Carter, Cameron, Gibson (A), NICHOLAS (pen), McCONALOGUE, McGoldrick, Strachan. (McDevitt, McCulloch, Stewart (M).) |
| – At rain-soaked Cappielow Cameron had a "goal" disallowed but Nicholas was fouled and converted the penalty (27). Thistle had the best of things but it wasn't until McConalogue scored (84) that the scoreline resembled a fair reflection on play. |
| 5. Tue-18-Oct-2005 [a] D2-2 Queen's Park (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 25/10/2005. Arthur, McDevitt, Haswell, Cameron, Gibson (B), Cassidy, Gibson (A), NICHOLAS (pen), McCONALOGUE, Kilgannon, Strachan. (Stewart (M), McGoldrick.) |
| – Thistle went 2-up with goals from a Nicholas penalty (6) and McConalogue (30) when he flicked home a Kilgannon cross. Queens hit the bar but Thistle stayed on top until the softest of soft penalties reduced the lead (41) then the made it 2-2 at half-time. The 2nd half was a stalemate with few chances going. |
| 6. Tue-01-Nov-2005 [a] W2-1 Ayr United (Scottish Reserve League Cup 1st Round) |
| – MP 12/11/2005. Arthur, Snowdon, Haswell, GIBSON (B), Carter, Craig, Cassidy, Gibson (A), McCONALOGUE, Nicholas, Strachan. (McDevitt. McGoldrick, Stewart (M).) |
| – McConalogue put Thistle ahead (9). They had the best of the play but failed to take their chances and paid the penalty when Ayr levelled (55). The homesters missed a sitter to go ahead and a goal by Gibson retrieved the situation (77). |
| 7. Tue-08-Nov-2005 [h] W3-2 Queen of the South (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 12/11/2005. Arthur, McDevitt, Haswell, Snowdon, Carter, Cassidy, GIBSON (A), Gibson (B), McGOLDRICK, McCONALOGUE, Strachan. (Cameron, Stewart (M).) |
| – It was no surprise when Gibson scored from 20 yards (26) because Thistle had dominated the play. Ex-JAG English levelled for Queens before half-time. McGoldrick headed home (48) but again Queens levelled (81) before McConalogue converted a Strachan cross (83). |
| 8. Tue-29-Nov-2005 [a] L1-2 Hamilton Academical (Scottish Reserve League Cup Quarter Final) |
| – MP 17/12/2005. Arthur, Gibson (B), Haswell, Snowdon, Carter, Cassidy, Gibson (A), Gibson (B), SANTALA, Strachan, Kilgannon. (Trialist, McDevitt, McGoldrick.) |
| – A mistake by they keeper let in Santala for the opener (16). He "scored" twice more but was deemed off-side. The Hamilton keeper more than made up for his error with some fine saves to deny Santala. A poor second half saw Hamilton score twice and just about deserve the win. |
| 9. Tue-06-Dec-2005 [a] L1-4 St Mirren (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 17/12/2005. Trialist, McDevitt, Snowdon, Carter, Gibson (A), Cameron, Cassidy, Strachan, STEWART (M), Santala, McGoldrick. (Haswell.) |
| – St Mirren went ahead (9) but Gibson set up Stewart for an equaliser a minute later. It was 2-1 just before half-time and two further goals in the second half underlined St Mirren's superiority. |
| 10. Tue-13-Dec-2005 [h] W4-0 Albion Rovers (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 17/12/2005. Arthur, McDevitt, Haswell, Snowdon, Carter, Craig, CAMERON, Cassidy, McGoldrick, STEWART (M), STRACHAN. (NICHOLAS (pen), Gibson (A), Dorrans.) |
| – There was nothing much to report in the first half. A penalty converted by Nicholas when Dorans was fouled put Thistle ahead. Nicholas skipped past two defenders to set up Stewart for 2-0 then Strachan lobbed the advancing keeper before Cameron fired home a Dorrans cross (90). |
| 11. Wed-21-Dec-2005 [h] L1-2 Queen's Park (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 2/1/2006. Arthur, SNOWDON, McCulloch, Cassidy, Carter, Cameron, Nicholas, McGoldrick, Stewart (M), Strachan, Gibson (A). (McDevitt, McGoldrick.) |
| – Good goalkeeping and poor finishing kept it goalless while Thistle were on top then Queens went ahead when a miscued cross deceived Arthur (38).A well-worked move produced a second goal (44). Snowdon headed in a McCulloch cross (66) but it wasn't enough. Thistle remained 3rd. |
| 12. Tue-10-Jan-2006 [h] L0-1 St Mirren (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 28/1/2006. Stewart (C), Snowdon, McCulloch, Brady, Carter, Craig, Gibson (A), Nicholas, Stewart (M), Roberts, Kilgannon. (Haswell, Cameron, McGoldrick.) |
| – 3rd v 2nd. St Mirren included several first-team players and a goal mid-way through the 2nd half won the points. It was largely a midfield battle with few chances. The goal came from a cross that should have been prevented. |
| 13. Tue-17-Jan-2006 [h] W3-0 Stenhousemuir (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 28/1/2006. Stewart (C), Snowdon, Haswell, Smyth, Carter, Hodge, Nicholas, Cameron, McGoldrick, ROBERTS (pen), Kilgannon. (Trialist, Gibson (J), STRACHAN (2).) |
| – Thistle hit the bar twice and McGoldrick spurned an easy chance in the first half. All the goals came after half-time. Roberts scored from the spot after being hauled down (the keeper being red-carded). Two goals by Strachan increased the lead for a comfortable win. |
| 14. Mon-06-Feb-2006 [h] W5-3 Ayr United (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 11/2/2006. Stewart (C), Snowdon, Haswell, Brady, BOYD, Craig, NICHOLAS, Pronevych, McGOLDRICK, McCONALOGUE (2), Kilgannon. (Carter, Cameron.) |
| – Ayr took the lead (22) but McConalogue headed in a Haswell cross (24). Ayr fired a penalty over the bar (27). McConalogue got his second (34) from the edge of the box then McGoldrick made it 3-1 at half-time. Two goals (the 2nd a pen) made it 3-3 but goals by Boyd and Nicholas earned the points (61 and 83). |
| 15. Tue-21-Feb-2006 [a] L0-1 Albion Rovers (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 14/3/2006. Stewart (C), Snowdon, Hodge, Brady, Craig, Pronevych, Trialist *, Cameron, McGoldrick, Gillies, Nicholas. *Trialist was Jose Quitongo. |
| – On a freezing cold night the players toiled on the dodgy surface but ironically the winning goal was a cracker from 25 yards. |
| 16. Mon-06-Mar-2006 [h] W2-0 Greenock Morton (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 14/3/2006. Stewart (C), Snowdon, McCulloch, Brady, Smyth, Hodge, Trialist *, GILLIES, NICHOLAS, Pronevych, Kilgannon. (McGoldrick, Carter, Cameron.) *Trialist was Jose Quitongo. |
| – Quitongo set up Gillies from 20 yards to open the scoring from 20 yards. Luck played a part in the second goal when a header by Pronevych going wide was forced in by Nicholas. |
| 17. Wed-29-Mar-2006 [a] D1-1 Gretna (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 1/4/2006. Stewart (C), Snowdon, Kilgannon, Pronevych, Carter, Craig, Quitongo, Cameron, Trialist *, Trialist, McGoldrick. (Strachan, Roberts, Nicholas.) *Trialist was Ian Harty. |
| – Trialist No 9 gave Thistle the lead (18) converting a Kilgannon cross. Stewart had a string of fine saves as eventual champions Gretna enjoyed most of the attacking play. The pattern continued after half-time. Thistle missed a few chances then Gretna scored (83). |
| 18. Mon-10-Apr-2006 [a] L1-4 Ayr United (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 22/4/2006. Stewart (C), Snowdon, KILGANNON, Cameron, Trialist, McCulloch, Strachan, Pronevych, McGoldrick, Trialist, Quitongo. (Trialist, Trialist.) |
| – Two goals in quick time put Thistle up against it but after a few wasted chances trialist No 10 set up Kilgannon with a neat one-two. A "goal" chalked off in mysterious circumstances robbed Thistle of an equaliser. Kilgannon missed a penalty then two more goals gave Ayr a flattering scoreline. |
| 19. Tue-25-Apr-2006 [a] W1-0 Queen of the South (Reserve League West) |
| – MP 6/5/2006. Stewart (C), Trialist, Hodge, Gibson (B), Carter, Gibson (J), McGoldrick, Trialist, Trialist, PRONEVYCH, Nicholas. (McCluskey, Trialist.) |
| – A narrow but well deserved win to finish off the season. Queens had an outside chance of catching Gretna and played a number of senior players but a goal by Pronevych proved to be enough to take the points and dash their hopes. |
