Leave the scoreline and the competition aside – this is our biggest win in years. We came into this match on a 2-match losing skid, on terrible home form, and just a few weeks after losing to our biggest rival at home 3-1. We faced that same rival, Ross County (spit), today at [...]

It’s been a rough week at the office for the Caley. On Tuesday, we went to Motherwell to face our first SPL opponent of the season, and were eliminated from our first competition, as we played competitively, but lost 3-2. Today, it was a home league match to Partick Thistle. Again, 3-2. [...]

First, I’m sorry for the break in posting. I took a short break from my obsession with the Caley to feed my older (and if I’m honest, slightly stronger) obsession with Scotland. Now that my dreams of watching the Scots in South Africa is well and truly dead, I can return full-strength to [...]

It was a brilliant start to the season. An away win at Dunfermline, a draw at Dundee, and two rounds each successfully navigated in the League Cup and Challenge Cup. Seven matches undefeated. Until today. In one of the most important matches of the season to Caley fans, the resumption of [...]

We’ve been lucky in the cup draws so far, but I can’t complain about what we’ve done with our luck. Since the early scare of penalties with Montrose in the Challenge Cup, it’s been smooth sailing in the knockout competitions for Caley Thistle. This week found Caley in the second round of the [...]

Scorelines, as every fan knows, can be deceiving. On the surface, there’s not much difference between our draw last weekend and the point we took today, and it’s true that they’re worth the same amount come season’s end. But there is a gulf of playing quality between both our performances and our opponents [...]

No, I didn’t bet against Caley Thistle. Bite your damned tongue. But to do my part to save one of the oldest clubs in Scottish football (Click here to help), I vowed to donate 10 pounds for each goal we put past them. Thanks to Richie Foran and Danny Sanchez, that’s 30 [...]

Today’s match report is brought to you by the letter “M”, for “Missed”. Missed chances, and a huge missed opportunity for Caley Thistle. Our home opener, in front of a good crowd, against a newly promoted side. It should have been a win, and it almost was, as we went close over [...]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
It wasn’t the prettiest match we’ve ever played, but the result is quite lovely. An open back and forth match defined by missed chances finishes 1-0 to the Caley away at Dunfermline, on the strength of a last-minute deflection from first-year Jaggie midfielder Lee Cox.
The Squad (with subs):
Esson
Proctor – Bulvitis – Munro – Djebi-Zadi
Cox [...]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
When we made it past Montrose in the Challenge Cup last week by the thinnest of margins, there was something eerily familiar about it. It wasn’t just an underperforming Caley Thistle side, though I’ve certainly seen my share of that. It was the feeling of supporting a team that played down to its [...]
