I apologize to both of my readers for the long hiatus from Caley Thistle Offside blogging. It’s been a busy time, but there was no way I was going to miss reporting on this. Caley Thistle, until today the only side in the First Division not to record a win at home, finally [...]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
The season’s first competitive match saw Caley Thistle stumble out of the blocks today, going to extra time then to penalties with Third Division side Montrose in the first round of the Scottish Challenge Cup. We went up 1-0 just before halftime on an officially-scored own goal, then gave one back around the 70th [...]

Well, it’s been a solid month or two since I posted here, and I think I’ve licked my wounds enough. True, we went down, and true, we did it in the most painful way possible, a single Falkirk goal sending us packing to play the likes of (spit) County. But life goes on, [...]

By: Ian Rose | 1 Comment
A point would have been great, no doubt of that. With Kilmarnock dismantling Falkirk today to show who really is the favorite for the drop, getting another point of distance between us and the Bairns would have been excellent. But I’m not disappointed in the 1-0 loss, and I’ll tell you why.
1. Pittodrie [...]
Category: Caley Thistle Team NewsCaley 0-1 Falkirk … Live by the penalty …
By: Ian Rose | No Comments
You know the rest.
On Wednesday, Caley traveled to Ibrox, and came away victors, 1-0, with a penalty the only score.
Today, Falkirk were the visitors, and Caley the hosts, for the Scottish Cup quarterfinals, and once again, 1-0 to the away side.
Oh well. Obviously a Cup semi would have been fantastic, but if we had [...]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
As I mentioned earlier, in my brief and joyful match post, the Caley Thistle defeated Rangers at Ibrox, 1-0 on the strength of a late Ian Black penalty. In doing so, we jumped out of the SPL’s single relegation spot, and now sit in 11th, one point above Falkirk. There are ten matches [...]

By: Ian Rose | 2 Comments
What’s official?
1. We’re off the bottom of the table, and out of the relegation spot.
2. We’ve taken four points from the Old Firm in our two matches under Butcher.
3. The Terry Butcher gamble has worked.
Much more later on this fantastic day to be a Caley fan.

… to win a league match. Traditionally the most successful fixture of our season, home vs. Hibernian, has once again yielded all the points. With Hamilton beating Falkirk, that leaves us only one point deep in relegation. More on all this later – hungry now. Survival is in no way assured, [...]

That’s the highlands in February folks. Snow so thick you can’t see the penalty area (thank God). Snow so thick you need the new-fangled yellow football. Snow so thick … (wait for it) … Caley wins at home!
No real highlights here, because I didn’t watch the match. But congrats to Pavels [...]
