Caley 3-0 Stranraer. And I’m out 30 quid.
By: Ian Rose | August 18th, 2009No, 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 quid I’m out. There are worse things.
Not much to say about the match itself. Stranraer technically had two shots on goal, but in reality only one real chance, which Ryan Esson handled. Caley got all three of our goals by halftime, then coasted a little and looked more like the Caley of the weekend, the Caley that couldn’t hit a barn door. It was really shameful finishing in the second half, and since we’ll likely face a First Division opponent in the next round, it won’t serve us.
There are eight clubs left in the Challenge Cup, and five are from the First Division. We have a 1/7 chance of drawing Ross County (spit), and a 4/7 chance of drawing one of our league-mates. Long story short, the cakewalk is probably over. The quarterfinals beckon, and we are three matches from a trophy. Mon the Caley.
