Butcher Era Begins Against Unnamed Opponent

By: Ian Rose | Comments 1 Comment

A team from down south is headed up to Inverness on Sunday – no one you’ve heard of. I have vague memories of green lads that hate blue lads (something to do with the pope or some such), but past that, it’s all a blur.
What really matters, though, is that this is the first [...]

Terry Butcher to Take Over Caley

By: Ian Rose | Comments 3 Comments

Well, it’s official … almost … but either way, it’s going to happen. Terry Butcher, former England man and current Scotland assistant coach (That’s still so odd) is about to take over the reins at Caley Thistle. His record is questionable as a manager, but at this point, from the available choices, he’s [...]

Roy McBain 3-2 Caley

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

That was ridiculous. I could say that about so many things in this long, dark Caley season, but this may be the strangest and saddest result of all, because it was avoidable. Roy McBain, who has certainly had his positive moments in a Caley shirt, just completely lost it today. How’s this [...]

Brewster Sacked

By: Ian Rose | Comments 1 Comment

I’m at work today, so I’ll give a more complete story later, but manager Craig Brewster is done at Caley Thistle. Sad in a way to see it happen, but change is clearly needed if we’re to survive in the top flight, and as they often say, you can’t fire the team.

Stranded, with only Falkirk for Company

By: Ian Rose | Comments 1 Comment

Only a penalty separated Caley from the Hamilton Accies today, but it was enough to make the gap between the two sides six points, and give Hamilton the season series, with only one meeting left this year. Falkirk put the fear into both us and their opponents Rangers when they took the lead [...]

Help Us, Filipe Morais. You’re our only hope.

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

That may be overstating it a bit, but I am just giddy over the Portuguese newcomer’s debut for the Caley. A win. By the gods, a bloody win. Granted, it was over a second-tier side, and granted, as a Scottish Cup match, it does nothing solid for our survival efforts. But [...]

A break from relegation watch for the Scottish Cup

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

As things at Caley HQ continue to look a bit dire, we take a break from our regularly scheduled SPL losing streak this weekend to make room for the Scottish Cup. The world’s second oldest knockout competition features our very own Caley Thistle taking on that other Thistle, Partick. Hopefully we can do [...]

Relegation Watch, Week 21: Alone at the Bottom.

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

Well, that’s it. A relegation watch has become a full-blown relegation warning. If things hold up like they are, we are in serious danger of playing the likes of County next season in the Scottish First Division. With Hamilton beating Aberdeen and Falkirk getting their point, and with Rangers having it all [...]

Needed: One Miracle

By: Ian Rose | Comments 2 Comments

Well today sucked. Caley didn’t play, so I had no reason to wake up early. That part was actuall pretty great. The rest, not so much. Hamilton beat Aberdeen (welcoming back our Dons blogger), and Falkirk got themselves a point. That means, at long last, Inverness Caledonian Thistle Football Club [...]

Pressley to Caley?

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

Well, it’s January, and with the New Year comes the scramble for teams at the bottom of European leagues (read: Us) to go looking about for the players that will help them stay alive. Caley’s first real offer has been to a player that I once was quite fond of, but who might be [...]
