Tom Nisbet
  • Formally Thomas Nisbet.
  • Most commonly listed as Mr. Nisbet, occasionally T. Nisbet.
  • Despite the League doing well financially, it was no time to waste money. Nisbet claimed his expenses for a QP v Kilmarnock match that was postponed and his claim was approved - except for 1/6d for his tea. It was pointed out that he should have waited till he got home and had it there. Shortly afterwards he was struck off for his disastrous performance at an Old Firm game where his impartiality was seriously questioned.” ~ "First 100 Years" (Bob Crampsey, 1990)

crime-count.png Crime Count notes
penalty.png 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.
yellow-card.png 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.
red-card.png 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.
