I feel like I have seriously missed out on a big party. According to Sky News, I missed us winning the Scottish League cup last season. They are saying that the holders progressed to the next round beating Livingston tonight. Any one else miss this last season3 points

I thought we were very poor last night. Luckily we got an early goal capitalising on a defensive error and after surviving some pretty sustained pressure from Livi got another one to give us a bit more of a cushion. Good to see Storey get on the score sheet again. He's obviously not the finished product but he shows real promise and he did well to seize on a slack back pass although he struggled to actually finish it off when he seemed to get the ball stuck beneath his beet on the line Good header from Devine for the second which you could see coming a mile off. As soon as Tansey was lining up the free kick Devine was gesturing for the ball to be played to the back post where he was lurking unnoticed. Good free kick from Tansey to pick him out and it was a pretty easy header. Between the goals Livi really dominated the game and should probably have equalised. Someone for ICT cleared a header off the line and Tremarco made a goal saving challenge to block a shot before Fon Williams pulled off a decent save to stop Gary Goal-en. In the second half, as if we weren't already finding things a bit of a slog, we tried to score for Livi when Raven headed the ball onto the bar (or just over) from a free kick. One of the Livi defenders then had a great chance to score with a brilliant turn and volley which went just wide. With Livi pressing we were able to create a wee bit more on the break and Tansey curled an effort just wide before Williams burst into the box and looked to be hacked down but Alan Muir gave nothing. Subs Mutumbo and Lopez then combined to set up another great chance to kill the game off but as usual Lopez Hibs'd it up before Mutumbo hit the post with another late effort. Good to get the win but again we weren't very good however we took our chances when they came and although Livi might feel a wee bit hard done by that was the difference between the sides. We'll need to improve a lot before Saturday if we want to take anything from the game. Plus points were Storey again looked promising and Mutumbo showed that when he's not trying to murder people on the pitch he can actually be a decent creative player for us.2 points

Gary Sutherland's Hunting Grounds, which is one of those all-42-league-grounds-in-one-season books (I'm sure there's at least one more doing the rounds), features the author visiting TCS in January '07 to see us beaten 2-1 by Celtic, and we are Killie's opponents when he visits Rugby Park (a score draw, unsurprisingly). A couple of our away games against Hearts in '04-'05 also feature in Aidan Smith's book Heartfelt (lifelong-Hibs-supporter-becomes-Hearts-supporter-for-a-season-for-a-bet, yadda yadda yadda). We sort-of-almost feature in Stuart Maconie's Cider with Roadies, when he mentions the SuperCaleyGoBallistic headline (and manages to misspell it 'Cally', something his editor obviously didn't pick up). And of course, there's Steve Paterson's book.1 point

Off topic I know but well done to St Johnstone last night for popping the Rangers balloon. They clearly learned their lesson from last season when, just like ourselves before them, they treated the Ibrox club with too much and unwarranted respect. Last night they treated them as the Championship team they are and got their just reward...1 point

He was injured just before United game. That punch was harder than it looked. Maybe got the night off to help him get over it.1 point

http://wingsoverscotland.com/a-sudden-change-in-fortune/ In about five months,we appear to have gone from......“Scotland heading for a ‘Great Depression’ after a Yes vote with Gordon Brown telling us that the Deutsche Bank report showed that Scotland was ‘in danger of falling through an economic trapdoor" to The European regions that could be better off going it alone in which Deutsche Bank, citing the likes of Flanders, Catalonia and Scotland, says that Many of Europe’s most prosperous regions could be better off by going it alone and abandoning the nation states of which they are currently a part. As Rev Stu says if independence would mean Scotland would be subject to a new Great Depression, yet still “better off” than if it stayed in the Union, our blood runs cold at what must be coming down the line for the UK. I am struggling not to say........isn't that what we Yessers said all along?1 point

I would imagine that Donnie Kerr would have a lot less time now to appear in the Courier since he will be very busy in his new full time day job as a body double for Jeremy Corbyn-1 points

Dunfermline Ath -V- Inverness CT - Preview
tm4tj posted an article in Previews 2023-24,
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
tm4tj posted an article in Reports 2023-24,
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
tm4tj posted an article in Previews 2023-24,
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!-

Queens Park 0-1 Inverness CT - Report
tm4tj posted an article in Reports 2023-24,
Massive: Just under 1500 fans rattled around inside the national stadium for the proverbial six-pointer at the bottom of the table with Inverness looking to get out of the play-off place and Queens one point ahead at the start of the game. In a tense first half Cammy Harper scored a stunning free kick after Cillian Sheridan had handled 25 yards out. Boom! That's how it ended despite QP upping their game in the second period as Inverness kept them at bay.-

Queens Park -V- Inverness CT - Preview
tm4tj posted an article in Previews 2023-24,
Hampden Calling: Carragher is now a doubt after feeling his hamstring. Other than that not much has changed apart from Remi Savage, who has not recovered after he got a boot in the face from Cammy Kerr. Apparently Kerr's boot is OK but Savage is suffering from minor concussion and will miss the next couple of games. Maybe that was Kerr ensuring he gets a game this weekend.-
