	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.

Table is limited to all competitive matches played by Partick Thistle in 2014-15, 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 2 own goals. There were 6 non-assists. Thistle played 30 minutes of cup-tie extra-time in this season. There were 160 minutes of "man-down" game-time. There were 3 instances where allocated bench slots were not filled.

SPFL Premiership Table

Promoted Dundee (champions) and Hamilton Academical (play-offs winners) 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. St Johnstone qualified for Europe as next eligible League side after Cup results. 2nd Bottom Premiership v Winner of Championship Play-Offs: Rangers 1 Motherwell 3 (28 May 2015); Motherwell 3 Rangers 0 (31 May 2015).

Overall Goal Difference (+4) stands as a new club record for the Top Flight. Since the criteria was introduced in 1970-71, our previous best (+3) was set in 1978-79. Conceding 1.16 League goals per game represents Thistle's 7th best defensive performance in 82 top-flight seasons.
