Ever wondered if there was another team out there called Caledonian thistle? I found them.

Hamilton Caledonian Thistle are a female team who were in a cup final last week against Renfrew ladies.

They are a girls youth club and, as is only fitting, their colours are red and b.......................................................................lack. Also their name is one letter shorter that the real Caley Thistle.

Without having researched it, I may well be wrong, but I'll bet they took the suffix 'Caledonian Thistle' as a quaint, Scottish-sounding alternative to just 'Thistle'.

"What'll we use as the 'bit after' Hamilton.....United?...City?...Wanderers?...Rovers?...Thistle?...yes! ...NO!...even better....Caledonian Thistle!.. After all, Inverness use it!"

Typical, ignorant central belters!

We should sue them!  Boo to the name stealers! 

Not sure we have copyright to Caledonian Thistle now that we've stuck Inverness in front of it. Besides rather than boo them perhaps we should get 12th man to persuade them to come support their namesakes.

If they play in red and black, I won't be going near them until they change their colours

I'm sure they are absolutely gutted by this news.

I'd rather they supported their local team to be honest.  Accies are a smaller club like us and need the support.

And so they should be

More like  a touch of youthful enthusiasm and naivety rather than anything else I think.

 

The management of our club should contact tyhem and offer them a  few free tickets to our next home match with tea and cakes in the Boardroom at half time and THAT would make a lot of friends  I know.

I very much doubt these ladies would be the type that enjoyed tea and cakes more like pints of lager and kebabs but you are right it's another way that new fans could be encouraged through the gates even if was only a few games per season

No dougal. Strictly G&T or spritzers. They were formed about three years ago and chose a name that didn't clash with Accies. Since there inception they have been doing really well and could become a top league team soon. You should go and watch a girls game sometime dougal. Might teach you something about the game and how not to be a sexist arse.

In my book that line suggests female footballers are of a particular sexual persuasion. Therefore sexist
