Just a short update, as I’m a little under the weather and need to get myself to 100% for tomorrow. Tomorrow, after all, is a big big day for Caley Thistle. A cup semifinal at home is always a big day, but we’re hosting Ross County (spit), hated Highland Derby rivals, just a [...]

The First Big Test: Dundee v. Caley Preview
By: Ian Rose | 1 Comment
It’s been a good start to the 2009-10 campaign for my beloved Caley Thistle. In our first five competitive matches of the young season, we have yet to lose, with four wins and a draw. Three of those wins have been in the cups, and we’re on four points from the first two [...]

All of Glasgow … well, half of Glasgow … will be going insane tomorrow, as Arsenal come to visit Celtic in the first leg of the Champions League playoff round. Good luck to Celtic, by the way. Let’s hope the Gunners got their week’s total of goals on Saturday. As for the [...]

A sense of history can be a depressing thing sometimes. I’d love to just take last week’s away win over Dunfermline as a sign of things to come – the first step in an uninterrupted march to the First Division title and our rightful return to the SPL. But then I remember last [...]

Well, folks, it’s finally here. After the excruciating two months of off-season, league football is returning to Scotland. The big boys in the SPL still have another week to go, but down in the lower divisions, where Caley Thistle find ourselves temporarily marooned, the season starts Saturday. And for Caley, the season [...]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
Caley Thistle has survived our first test, barely, with the penalty win over Montrose last week in the Challenge Cup. Now, it’s on to the league cup, and the last competitive match before the start of the First Division season, and it brings Annan Athletic to Caledonian Stadium today.
Hopefully, the scraper against Montrose has [...]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
The date is: 1-May-2009
Caley Thistle is: 4 points safe, sitting 11th above only Falkirk, and two points below Kilmarnock, St. Mirren and Hamilton.
We head to St. Mirren for the start of the post-split season tomorrow. This season’s final five matches are essentially a month-and-a-half-long relegation playoff, with five of the bottom six sides in [...]
Category: Match PreviewThis is it: Falkirk v. Caley
By: Ian Rose | No Comments
If we win this match, survival looks very, very good. If we lose it, everything’s back on the table. It’s as simple as that.
Right now, we stand four points above relegation-bound Falkirk. A win over them today puts us seven points safe, and more than likely jumps us above either Killie or [...]

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: Ian Rose | 1 Comment
The first few matches of Terry Butcher’s reign at Caley Thistle have gone pretty well, but it’s been a bit of a soft launch, as we sometimes say in the web business. There hasn’t been a really important match, when it comes to the race to stay alive in the SPL. His first [...]
