CaleyCanary

Yup agree and, apologies for going off topic, help to cement our position when everyone at SPFL HQ finally sees sense and reorganises our league structure.

He could still do a decent job for us in the Championship…

Sames…

I feel we could have done without the distraction of this cup, pretty sure it hasn’t helped with the concentration needed to finish this season as champions. Silver lining is, I suppose, the 100k runners up prize money but I worry that the whole episode will dent confidence before the real cup final against Stenny.

Would be grand for the girls get a half decent crowd to cheer them on tonight. Great to have a game like this in Inverness and to get more if all goes well. Hope it’s a great night for the girls and everyone that turns up.

Today’s wish list: 1 Beat the Accies - job done ✔️ 2 Montrose to beat Stenny - ok I’ll take the draw ✔️ 3 Beat the English in the pointy ball game - gubbed ‘em ✔️ 4 Tranmere to end their losing streak - Boss kidda ✔️ 5 Canaries to reach 5th round - On The Ball City ✔️ Oh just a perfect day! Cheers Lou for the perfect song for today 😁

You’d make a great statistishun Mantis 😄

Never in doubt 😁

I’ve long been a supporter of three 16 team leagues playing each other twice instead of four times. In the grand scheme of things it wouldn’t make a massive difference to the total number of games played in a season but the reduction would be a step in the right direction and give scope for a mid-season break if there was an appetite for it.

Never easy being a CaleyJags fan - now they make it more difficult to choose the best goal of the game! Whatever next…😁

Have to admit being guilty of a bit of hubris with this tie. Given our past underdog cup history I should have known better, Tranent weren’t going to be easy pushovers. In the end I’m just grateful we held on for the win.

…really hope County avoid the drop, it would be such a shame to bypass them on our way up 😁

Well I think I live in the south east but the local Norfolk-ites would be horrified at the thought! Most of my family ties are on the Moray and Aberdeenshire coasts but Dundee born and Aberdeen brought up until emigrating to Scouseland as a young teenager (hence I also have a Tranmere Rovers affiliation). When the CaleyJags formed in 1994 it was like the club I’d waited for all my life had been born - quite a rollercoaster since to say the least! Don’t get back home much these days so the TV game against QotS was a big deal in the household - helluva match for yer first ICT experience! If you can manage it I’d recommend trying to get to one of our away games, they’re always a great day out with a cracking atmosphere amongst the travelling support. Welcome to the club and forum LCJ 👍

Going back in time to my referee course in a bygone era it was instilled into you as a ref and linesman that a player was not offside if they were level with the defender. To me that goes along with the whole body scenario. If the difference can’t be identified by a linesman’s (assistant referee 🙄) eyesight then the attacking player is level and shouldn’t be deemed to be offside. The important thing was that it was always incumbent on the linesman being level with the last defender to give an accurate decision. I always thought it was a simple rule that I never had any problem with, but it’s been so messed about with that some of the VAR decisions are just plain ludicrous. Granted, previously, there were wrong decisions aplenty but I feel there have been just as many wrong decisions since its inception. VAR destroys the flow and spirit of the game and I’d be happy to see it gone tomorrow.

Bob, I think you’ve posted on the wrong website

…and I originally had 1-1 full time and edited it to 0-1 - not one of my most successful days prediction-wise, but without knowing how things panned out tonight I’d have taken 1-1 before kickoff. A decent result away on a cold night against one of our more serious rivals for the title.

I wish he’d waited until the first minute of the second half, screwed up my NPL halftime prediction ☹️

I’m fully expecting a smaller crowd Robert but think the 5:30 kick off time on a bitterly cold dark night will have as much effect as the tv. It’ll take a very determined hardcore supporter to make the journey north from Dumfries even without the temptation of watching it from a cozy armchair with warming Bovril in yer hand (other drinks of your choice are available)

Aye Scotty, 28 fekkin years - I’ve never drunk whisky that old!!!

Qualifying from this group has increasingly felt like destiny, no matter how hard we’ve tried to screw it up. So bring on Brazil, again, coz this time you never know…

CaleyJags top of 2 leagues AND Scotland in the World Cup Finals - I must be on something I can’t remember taking!

…and it’ll all end on Tuesday with Denmark equalising in the 95th minute and us screaming ‘we wuz robbed!’

Well it’s looking like a fairly decent season so far sitting at the top of TWO leagues 😁 Nice one chaps, keep them goals coming now 👍

…and yet Stenny have now been held at home by Kelty too. Even if we don’t improve our scoring rate we’ll likely still win this league because none of the other teams seem good enough to put a strong run together. Unfortunately I’m not able to experience the joys and frustrations of match days anymore but as a long distance fan I’m just happy to see the 3 points gained so often this season. As Huisdean says, our luck may very well run out sometimes when we fail to score when we should but I’m sure we’re going to continue winning more often than not.
