Caley 1-3 Ross County: A return to reality
By: Ian Rose | August 29th, 2009It 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 the Highland Derby with Ross County (spit), we stumbled.
I’ll try to find it in me to do a better report later. Right now, there’s a fresh wound to tend. County bought heavily this summer, largely from us, and they showed today how they’ve changed and what they gained with those purchases. It was former Caley man Iain Vigurs who scored what would end up the match winner just after halftime.
You never like to lose, and there’s no loss that stings like a derby loss. It must be said that the match probably meant more to County, being the less successful of the two teams, as is often the case with rivalries. But this one hurts. In addition to the bruising our pride took, we dropped three points to Partick, who rocked lowly Morton 5-0, and one to Dundee, who drew on the road to Airdrie. Raith Rovers continue to perform very well against the top teams, and beat league leaders Dunfermline 2-0.
Off now to watch Man U and Arsenal, clearing the palate of the crap sandwich that was this match. More later. Mon the Caley.
