Celtic 1-0 Caley. Not bad at all.

I’ve never been one to celebrate a loss. The very idea goes against everything I believe as a sports fan … but today was about as close to me being happy about (or at least satisfied with) a loss as I can remember. Caley went down 1-0 to a Shaun Maloney strike off [...]

Let’s get it out of the way: Celtic v. Caley Preview

Tomorrow, the Caley Thistle travel to the unfriendly confines of Celtic Park. For casual followers of Scottish football, the Caley-and-Celtic fixture might bring up Cup memories (yes, Matt, I had to mention it.), but the truth is that our league meetings, especially in Glasgow, have been much less competitive.
Since our promotion to the top [...]

it’s whether you get back up.
-Vince Lombardi
Sports cliche over. Still, I thought it applied. Last season, we went to Celtic Park and were treated to our worst-ever SPL defeat, 5-0. How did we respond? The four matches after that one were 2 wins, a draw, and a loss, so I’d say [...]

I’m not looking a gift horse in the mouth, here, so don’t get me wrong. A win is a win, and these are three vital points. Even if it seems like all of our wins this season have come on the road (4 out of 5 have) or against Kilmarnock (2 out of [...]
Category: PostgameMatch Preview : Can Caley Kill Killie, or vice versa?
By: Ian Rose | 1 Comment
Again with the alliteration. On Saturday, Caley Thistle (fresh from fielding exactly zero international players this friendly week) take on Kilmarnock, in many ways the surprise team of the SPL this season. Killie was a lot of pundits’ and fans’ choice for the drop this season, and what Jim Jefferies has done there [...]

That’s the best word I have for it. Slow. Weak. Boring. I frankly doubt a Hearts fan could say much better, but they’re the team with the points. In fact, they’re the team in third position after 14 SPL matches. We’re the one in tenth. They’re the ones [...]

Frankly, there’s not a lot to report from today’s 1-1 with Falkirk. We didn’t continue the pace we set Saturday with the big win away at Hibs … but we also didn’t fall back into the terrible habits that produced a record-tying defeat to Rangers the week before. It was, to be absolutely [...]

This is a busy week in the SPL, with a midweek fixture between two full weekends. For the Caley, it’s a chance for redemption, a chance to take a side that was just a few days ago one point from the drop spot, and rise into the middle third of the table. The [...]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
As I said before the match, all we needed was something positive, something to stop the bleeding. We got that and more from the Caley today, taking all three points against Hibs and showing definitively that we can, on our day, play a fine game of football. It was 2-0 until right at [...]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
Not much more to say than this: We need something. A win would be fantastic, but more than a win, we need a point. Five losses in a row have broken this team down – you could see it in their faces last weekend. Rangers were on their game, no doubt of [...]
