Falkirk 1-2 Caley: 2 Road Wins from 2

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

This is shaping up early to be a promising, if a bit of a strange, Caley Thistle season. On the road, where the team has struggled in the past, we have gathered up all six points available to us, both of them fixtures we lost last season (away to Aberdeen and Falkirk). At [...]

Beware a Cornered Bairn: Falkirk-Caley Preview

By: Ian Rose | Comments 3 Comments

The fourth weekend of SPL action awaits, and for the Caley Jags, that means a foray down to the Firth of Forth to face Falkirk. Like the alliteration? No? Oh well. Anyway, the boys will face a team strangely similar to our own a year ago at this time – talented, [...]

Iain Vigurs is the hero as we squeak by Arbroath

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

Well, that was entirely too close. 2-2 at the end of regulation. 2-2 at the end of extra time. This is not a side with a long, illustrious history of penalty success, and so going into the spot kicks at the end of today’s second round League Cup match in Angus against [...]

League Cup Preview: Arbroath v. Caley

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

Caley Thistle begins what I’m hopeful will be a long run in the league cup tomorrow, with the exact same opponent we got last season: the Red Lichties of Arbroath. Last year, I was one of the lucky 1200 or so in the stands at Caledonian Stadium to watch Marius Niculae score once in [...]

What they’re saying: Caley 1-1 Hibs

By: Ian Rose | Comments 1 Comment

What the newspaper men are saying after Caley’s draw with Hibs this weekend:
“Inverness may not be everyone’s fancies, in fact they may be more fancied by most to be involved in a relegation scrap this term, but on their day they are more than capable of producing some refreshing and winning football.”
- The Scotsman
“The slickness [...]

Fulltime: Caley 1-1 Hibs

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

We had a lot of reasons to believe this would be a win. Caley’s record against Hibs is very strong at home. Craig Brewster certainly believed it was winnable, by his starting lineup of three strikers (Imrie, Barrowman and Rooney). At halftime, everything looked to be going according to plan, with Caley [...]

Halftime Report: Caley 1-0 Hibs

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

We’re at the half at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium, and the Caley are up 1-0 on the strength of, yes, Don Cowie. Cowie became the third Inverness scorer of the season in the 21st minute with a left-footed strike. The assist went to Roy McBain, who adds that to his goal in the opener [...]

Inverness gives Ugandan a Chance

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

Dan Wagaluka has come over 7000 km to play for Caley Thistle, and Craig Brewster thinks that merits giving him a shot. The Ugandan winger has impressed in his week of training with the team, and played the last 12 minutes of the testimonial match this week against the Liverpool reserves. Brew’s main [...]

What they’re saying: Caley 0-1 Accies

By: Ian Rose | Comments 2 Comments

A look at what the pundits and bloggers around the web are saying about last weekend’s loss to Hamilton:
“Chances were missed at both ends. But, with two 4-5-1 formations, the teams seemed to cancel each other out … Caley Thistle new boy Adam Rooney was impressive after he came on at half-time, but he could [...]

Caley 5-0 Liverpool … you heard me.

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

I know it doesn’t count. I know it was the reserves. And yes, I know that visiting teams aren’t exactly encouraged to push hard in a testimonial match. Still, don’t take away from me the sheer enjoyment of staring at that scoreline. 7,352 lucky souls (a great showing for a meaningless [...]
