The seventh invasion of Ibrox: Match preview
By: Ian Rose |
2 Comments
I said it would be a big week, and so far it has been massive … a massive disappointment. Of the three big matches in eight days starting this Saturday past, two are done. A league loss to Motherwell that saw more unnecessary home points dropped, and a controversial (but no less poor) [...]

0 for 4: Caley loses another league cup quarter
By: Ian Rose | No Comments
I’m beginning to sound like a broken record here. Great chances, blah blah, poor finishing, etc etc. Another evening of striking problems, with a side of refereeing mistakes, saw us lose the fourth (of four) league cup quarterfinal in the history of the club.
Last year, it was away at Aberdeen, two seasons before [...]

I’m not going into a huge amount of detail tonight, as I’m embroiled in other sporting matters, unrelated to Caley and even to football, but tomorrow, I assure you that my full attention will be on the quarterfinal league cup matchup between our beloved Caley Thistle and the Bairns of Falkirk. We are both [...]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
As I mentioned in the previous post, this is a big week for the Caley. A home match against Motherwell that we lost badly last season, a league cup quarterfinal against a team we know we can beat, and then a trip to Ibrox. This isn’t the way we meant to start it, [...]

I won’t go and whine too much about the schedule this week, not when fellow Offside blogger Matt’s Celtic team has a lot worse run of games, playing five games in basically two weeks. Still, tomorrow we start a tight, and absolutely critical, part of our season.
It starts at home against Motherwell on Saturday. [...]
Category: Match PreviewNo points, but no shame: Caley 1-2 Celtic
By: Ian Rose | 3 Comments
Celtic never gets an easy match when they come calling to Inverness, and this one was no different, with a slow start from both teams, a two-goal assault from the Celts, and very nearly a classic comeback. In the end, the three points are all that will matter to Celtic, and I think we [...]

This isn’t going to mean much to a lot of people even in the ranks of SPL fandom, but for me, it’s a huge deal. One of my favorite players on the Caley roster, Ian Black, has officially recovered from his shoulder injury and will be on the pitch for Saturday’s match with Celtic. [...]

We’ve had a mixed season so far, but this Saturday comes a game that Caley fans live for. No matter what else happens in an SPL campaign for Caley, any result against either end of the Old Firm warms the hearts the Caley hopeful. We all hold close the memories of that Ballistic [...]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
A disappointing result, but a fair one, I’d say. Maybe I’m bad luck for the Caley boys. Last week, I skip a match and sleep in, and it’s a 3-1 comeback win over Killie. This week, I make an effort to watch, and we lose. To be fair, this was Dundee [...]

Here we see the Caley faithful on another trip to Dundee United’s Tannadice Park, on February 18, 2006. That day, we stomped the Tangerines to juicy pulp, 4-2. Let’s hope we have this much reason to celebrate this time around.
In fact, we have a lot of reasons to be hopeful about this match. [...]
