Well, Well, Well: Motherwell preview
By: Ian Rose |I’m sick, and though this blog is never terribly in depth, I will likely be less so today. But I’ll tell you what I’m not sick of – the three-game (four in all comps) undefeated streak of our Caley Thistle. Especially our one-game home winning streak. Anything counts as a streak when [...]
By the Numbers: The Turn Around
By: Ian Rose |Everyone at Caley Thisle has a strange air about them. Replacing the feelings of disappointment, frustration, anger, blame, etc … is hope. Actual hope, not only of the concession prize of a cup run, but of SPL survival and real cup glory. Let’s break down exactly what has happened, by the numbers.

No real highlights here, because I didn’t watch the match. But congrats to Pavels [...]
Caley 0-0 Celtic: Champions catch a case of TB
By: Ian Rose |That’s Terry Butcher … we haven’t resorted to biological warfare. Yet.
On an astoundingly bright and sunny day in Inverness, my beloved Caley Thistle began life under new manager Butcher with a tough assignment – to host the defending (and by standings, current) SPL champions, Celtic. Former manager (but still Caley man) Charlie Christie [...]
