	Crime Count notes
	5 pts are allocated for a penalty, in favour of whichever team is awarded the kick. Our data is comprehensive from 1891-92 (the season of introduction) to date.
	1 pt is allocated for any given player's first yellow card, the point being in Thistle's favour when an opponent is booked and vice-versa. Second yellows are always ignored as superfluous. We introduce the yellow card count from season 1997-98 onwards as our records are comprehensive and meaningful from that season onwards. Official cautions began in the 1940s and we continue to (casually) build such data with a view to, perhaps, setting an earlier date for our yellow card analysis. Incidentally, the actual yellow card was first introduced to the Scottish domestic game in season 1979-80.
	4 pts are allocated for sending offs, the points being in Thistle's favour when an opponent is sent-off and vice-versa. Our crime count database is 'open for business' from 1886-87 onwards as this was the first season that the English FA decreed that the referee had the power to send a player off, although the first known in a Scottish game wasn't until a season later and the first known in a Thistle game wasn't until 1891. Our data is comprehensive from then to the present day. As per the yellow, the actual red card was first introduced to the Scottish domestic game in season 1979-80.

sortable table headers

Table is limited to all competitive matches played by Partick Thistle in 2013-14, and includes only players who've been listed in at least one match day squad under that category during the season. The artificial addition of 3-points-per-win and goal-difference is for illustrative purposes only. Table sorted by Points; Goal Difference; Team Goals For; Game Time; Starts; Unused Subs; Alphabetically by Forename. Page refreshes will return this order. There were 12 non-assists. Thistle played 30 minutes of cup-tie extra-time in this season. There were 45 minutes of "man-down" game-time. As per the tournament-specific rules, bench slots were limited to 5 players in all 3 League Cup games.

SPFL Premiership Table

Promoted Partick Thistle (champions) were the new participants. 3 points for a win. League split into 2 groups of 6 after 33 games, after which no side could fall below 6th or rise above 7th. In each of the 2 post-split groups, those finishing level on points were placed in order of superior goal difference, then by goals scored. Heart of Midlothian were deducted 15 points. St Johnstone qualified for Europe as Scottish Cup winners. 2nd Bottom Premier v Winner of First Division Play-Offs: Hamilton Academical 0 Hibernian 2 (21 May 2014); Hibernian 0 Hamilton Academical 2 (25 May 1995). AET, Hamilton won 4-3 on pens.

On only one occasion have Thistle have failed to survive in their "first season back" - at the very first time of asking away back in season 1900-01. Since then we have been succesful in this quest six times out of six - in season 1902-03, 1971-72, 1976-77, 1992-93, 2002-03 and 2013-14. Thistle's away points haul of 24 is a new All-Time club record for the Top Flight, beating the previous best (23) which was set back in 1962-63. Applying 3 points for a win across all 81 of our (official) Top Flight seasons and expressing the points gained as a percentage of those available, this season's away effort (42.11%) is our best in the Premier League since 1964-65 (45.1%). Our away haul of 25 goals is our highest Top Flight tally since season 1977-78 when we netted 27. Our away Goal Difference (-3) stands as a new club record for the Top Flight. Since the criteria was introduced in 1970-71, our previous best (-5) was set in 1972-73. Our away day 4-3 loss at Motherwell in February currently stands as the joint-highest scoring game ever played in the SPFL Premiership.
