    • Inverness CT -V- Morton - Preview
      Well, where do you start. It was clear from the begining of the season that something was wrong. Poor signings, dismal performances in the League Cup followed by an abysmal start to the League campaign saw Billy Dodds removed from his position after winning one point in the first six Championship fixtures and replaced by a man with no track record as a manager. A sort of publicity stunt if you like. After the initial new manager bounce wore off, we found ourselves little better off with Big Dunc than we were with wee Billy. We did claw ourselves up to the coat tails of others but the most damning part of our season has been our inability to score goals, especially at home. Only already relegated Arbroath are worse than us. Our team is now full of mercenaries, loan players with no affiliation to our Highland pedigree and many fans have tagged us as being the worst squad ever in our short history. Where are the Golabeck's, Tokeley's, Wilson's..... Much of this can be attributed to our lack of financial nous in the boardroom, failed ventures and now the begging bowls are being put in place to save our club. Having drawn at Dunfermline last week thanks to Aribim Pepple's first goal for the club combined with Billy Mckay's penalty miss, it's now out of our own hands. LAST SIX: D L  W W L  D

    • Dunfermline 1-1 Inverness CT - Report
      Out of our hands now: It ended in disappointment for the 319 visiting fans with news that Queens Park had hammered Arbroath 0-5. To rub salt into the wounds, Sheridan and Welsh were amongst the scorers. It's out of our hands now, but it's a must win next Friday and hope Queens Park falter.  Inverness play Morton and Queens play Airdrie. A draw might be enough, but it's a long shot.

      I'm not convinced that Billy Mckay was the right man to be taking that penalty, his second failure from the spot in successive games against the Pars.

    • Dunfermline Ath -V- Inverness CT - Preview
      Aaron Doran looks likely to have pulled on the Caley Jags strip for the last time after limping off against Raith Rovers last Friday. Sean McAllister returning was a bonus though but the mystery deepens as to why Roddy MacGregor, Austin Samuels and Nikola Ujdur are not featuring either on the injury list or the team list. Baffling to be honest as Roddy has the midfield attributes required, Austin has the speed and potential and Nikola in my opinion, if fit, would be my first choice on the team sheet. Are these guys on the way out? Add to that seven or eight loan players, then next season will see a massive restructure and rebuild at the Caledonian Stadium. I imagine the board members are squirming in their seats like Angela van den Bogerd at a Post Office inquiry.

    • Inverness CT 0-1 Raith Rovers - Report
      Inverness threatened the Raith goal and but for Kevin Dabrowski and his bar they could have been dead and buried at the interval. No score at the break and all to play for in the second half. Vaughan opened the scoring early in the second half and Samuel almost levelled but his shot from distance cannoned away off the post. The crossbar was hit a further twice but the goal would not come. Despite peppering the Raith goal, MotM Dabrowski would not be beaten with a string of saves ranging from brilliant to miraculous.

    • Inverness CT -V- Raith Rovers - Preview
      The great escape coninues on Friday night at the Caledonian Stadium as we host Raith Rovers in a game that will also be screened live on BBC Scotland with Raith trying to cling on to the coat tails of Dundee United and the Caley Jags looking to slither away from the play-off zone. What could possibly go wrong? Savage and Carragher will be joined in the squad by a welcome returnee in Sean McAllister who has returned fit from Everton after about six weeks out. That's a nice wee bonus for Big Dunc. However, he has the wrath from Arbroath after his "tools down" comment in his pre-match interview. As long as he has not got the wrath from Raith. Keep the faith!

  1. Past hour
  2. But will there be anyone else there? That's the question!
  3. If I was managing Airdrie, I'd put out the weakest team I could get away with. Avoid risk of injury to or suspension of my best players. If QP win, then it wasn't Airdrie's top team, and there should be no problems motivating them for a promotion playoff. It has to be three points for us tonight. But that may well not be enough.
  4. Well it's now D day, Or Duncan day if you prefer! He's saying he will be here next season won or lose, Relegation or status quo. What's your thoughts? Keeping us up is very important, However we could win 5 0 and still be in the playoffs.

  8. I’m cautiously hopeful we can get a result tonight, but also worried that Queens Park win at Airdrie.
  9. Let’s forget our off field woes and concerns and get behind the players tonight, doing all we can to help them to do our bit by winning the game.
  10. As we approach one of the most significant matches in our history (and potentially more critical games if we cannot escape the play offs tonight), the club's plight (both on and off the pitch) highlights the need for a strong Supporters Trust that can ensure the voice of fans is heard by those making the decisions that shape the club's future. Thank you and welcome to all the new members who have joined the Trust in the last few weeks. Your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you especially to those who have made either a one off or recurring donation to Stronger Together. Details of how to contribute are here: https://caleythistleonline.com/topic/36186-stronger-together-how-to-contribute/ We hope many of you will see the merit of the initiative and feel able to contribute as much or as little as you can. If you are not already a member, joining the Trust is easy. Just follow this link: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/join-us Membership is only £5 (£1 for Under 16s). Remember, the Trust is independent of the club, and has worked hard to ensure that the concerns of fans are heard and addressed. We have made good progress this season, and are grateful for everyone who has attended the successful Fans Meetings or contacted us with issues they wished us to raise. We will continue to work on behalf of our members.
  11. I’m more optimistic that we will win than I am about Airdrie doing the business for us.
  12. We haven't played like this for at least the last 6 games. Players will go for it I'm sure, just need that bit of luck that was missing against Raith. I do genuinely think we are playing better recently but it's taken far too long for that to happen. Need desperately to get the first goal tonight.
  13. Oh dear, dont think I could cope for a week without it.......
  14. This is not about the manager, the board or the players - this should be about the club, the shirt and the badge. Let the spirits of yore be with us.
  15. This post has been removed by the International Seer Society and the punishment is that the holders crystal ball will be misted for the next 7 days.
  16. We will win 1 - 0 off someone's backside and Queens will draw with Airdrie 0 - 0, happy days!
  17.   Last Chance   It's the last chance in the last chance saloon for us if we want to avoid the dreaded relegation play offs with some olde adversaries licking their lips in anticipation that our insipid non scoring bunch of mercenaries will be the final piece of the relegation jigsaw. Morton are the visitors on Friday night whilst Queens Park host Airdrieonians. Waiting eagerly for us to drop in are perrenial hoodoo sides Hamilton Academicals and Alloa Athletic with Montrose, complete with Michael Gardyne and other journeymen and one Brazilian Matteus Machado, who spent some time at Inverness as a promising youth. However, first things first, it's Dougie Imrie's Morton side who come North looking to sign off their season on a high. Did Dougie dodge a bullet with Duncan Ferguson pulling the managerial rug from under his feet to get the Caley Jags gig. I'm sure that will be enough incentive for Dougie to throw the relegation spanner into the works.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Match/Ticket Info Bring a friend for £££££ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Venue H2H v Morton Pld Won Drn Lst For Agst + / - Home 22 12 6 4 48 20 +28 Away 21 12 3 6 40 26 +14 Neutral 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Total 43 24 9 10 88 46 +42 As the stats show, we have a massive advantage over Morton, however, as we have deteriorated over the last few years, Morton's more recent record against us has improved and given that, this game could go either way whereas a few years ago it was almost a gimmee.

Thankfully, in stark contrast, the second half was full of entertainment. In a lifeless first half at the Caledonian Stadium, neither side was able to get the handful of fans inside the ground excited, however, just before the interval Aaron Doran made a half yard of space for himself inside the box and fired a wicked shot at Rogers. He parried the shot away and James Keatings guided the loose ball back into the net from ten yards. One minute into the second half and Keatings bagged his second as he rifled the ball home from 12 yards on the right side of the box. The third came about after a good bit of ball retention ended with Jordan White rolling the ball into the net. Mark Ridgers saved a miserable penalty from Nicky Cadden after David Carson handled from an overhead attempt. Coll Donaldson met a corner from Keatings at the front post to nod down into the net to make it four nil.

  18. We'll pass the ball sideways and backwards most of the night in the vain hope that a draw will be enough. Morton will score with their only chance of the game and we'll lose 1-0. Oakley will be the goalscorer

  20. We had to win against arbroath and we did same against queen's and we did. We were unlike against raith and a point away to Dunfermline although not what we needed is still a good point. Morton are nothing special and if the threat off relegation can't motivate the guys for tonight then I don't know what will. Hopefully be a bigger crowd tonight so that may be the difference from other home game. Time to hold our nerve get right behind the boys tonight and believe!
  21. Oh dear no, a drab 0-0 draw would make everyone’s nerves jangle, especially the last 10 minutes ! Please, no......
