Caley Mad In Berks

Thanks to Billy Dodds for speaking up for ICT and calling McMullan a cheat! 

Yes, unlike Stephen Thompson with his biased comments at the end. 

Still buzzing!  If we can play with that commitment for the rest of the season we can beat anybody.  Play offs should hold no fears for us now.  Well done to all the team.  They played  today as if they really wanted it more than Utd.  Roll on Hampden, and the rest of the season.

Justice done in the end.  Firstly it was never a penalty for Utd.  Nor was Austin offside for his 'goal'.  We thoroughly deserved that win. Better side throughout.  Hampden here we come. AGAIN!

Wow, how good was that?  Same again second half please.

So Caley Tennis will now be in favour of extending Robbo's contract beyond 2021 then? 

Yes, he might give him until 8.30

Thanks KM.  Looking forward to the match highlights now!

Still basking this morning in that warm feeling of Scottish Cup success.  btw, who scored our 5th penalty? (as I said on another post,  my internet went down at the crucial moment).  Great performance by all 5 penalty takers in what must have been a hugely pressurised situation. Not forgetting, of course, Mark Ridgers contribution in saving one.

Well done again to all concerned.

What a fantastic ending.  My internet connection went down just as Draper was running up to take his penalty.  I'm still fuming that I didn't hear the ending live.

But, what joy.  Wonder what AS and the other White 'bashers, are thinking now?

Well done to all the team.  Our season may just kick on now.

Get in there!

Just curious.  Why isn't this, ever growing, thread in the "For sale/swap/Auction" section, rather than the mainstream "Caley/Thistle" section?  It seems like the perfect spot for it, otherwise, why have that section at all?

Really enjoyed that and, but for their keeper, we would have won it by a goal or two.   Mind you, Ridgers had a good game too, but MOM without a doubt was Tremarco.

I was actually at Oxford Utd v Sunderland last Saturday.  I have a pal who is a Sunderland fan and Oxford is as close as they get these days to where we live in Berks. There is often a lot of talk down here about how poor Scottish football is, but tonight's game was far superior to Saturday's in every aspect.  OK it was only EL1 but Sunderland are not that long out of the English Premiership!  So well done to both sides tonight for trying to play football, and certainly giving both sets of fans some excitement.

Pity we couldn't hold on for a deserved win, but all to play for in the replay next week, and Dundee Utd   in next round must give us a good chance of advancement.

Onwards and upwards!

Not going to be able to see it since it's on BBC2 Scotland and I can't get that down here

Can't help thinking County are probably favourites...But if Ridgers, Donaldson and Tremarco are fit to play, then we should be steady at the back....McCauley worthy of a start? probably depends on the midfield TBH

Pretty sure you can get it.  Have sent you a PM

Well, that must have been a real squeaky bum time for most of the second half.  But, how great to finally win a game where all the stats indicate that we should probably have lost it.  Makes a nice change.  Well done to all concerned.  Maybe there is hope for this season after all.....

What a start. Surely we'll hold on to this one. Keep it up lads.

As I actually was at yesterday's game, I feel I can comment with some confidence.   If there had been any neutrals at that game they must have loved it.  End to end stuff with plenty of chances at either end.   The game stats show that we clearly had most possession etc and probably should have converted more of our chances and won the game, but in fact we were hanging on at the end with Falkirk clearly on top in the latter stages.  Whilst I approve of giving our young goalkeeper all the support he needs to continue his improvement, the facts are that he was shaky from the start, and clearly must take the blame for Falkirk scoring direct from a corner.  He did not seem to be impeded, and  in my view, although we away supporters were a long way from the action, seemed just to misjudge it. Their keeper, in comparison, made several good saves which probably made the difference.  Thought there were fairly encouraging signs from McCauley, and if McDonald's left foot rasper just after came on had hit the back of the net, he would have become an instant hero.   Anyway, I enjoyed the game in 'Eagle for Caley's company, and look forward to my next live match.
