Gawd - did you see that - surely the spider should have been sent off fer a last defender lunge at Nick Ross :_shocked2:

July 31, 201015 yr

What have I been saying - give Eric a feckin chance - in the second half :rotflmao:

July 31, 201015 yr

GOAL! Cox assisted by Duncan. We seem to be giving away alot of fouls though according to live text.

Is it 2 nil or are you half an hour after everyone else ?

Oh I was a wee bit behind. :oops01: Just thought I'd give the info about the goal supplied by BBC live text.

Has Munro been taken of for precautionary reasons I take it? Carrying a knock? Injured?

Or are we just treating this as a run out? :_thumbup:

July 31, 201015 yr

ICT 3- 0

July 31, 201015 yr

3-0

July 31, 201015 yr

3-0 now. All sounds a bit scrappy, but a solid start to the season - no need to p*ss about with replays.

July 31, 201015 yr

"# 54:42 GOAL - Eric Odhiambo : Inverness CT 2 - 0 Queens Park Eric Odhiambo gets on the score sheet with a goal from close in low into the middle of the goal. Inverness CT 2-0 Queens Park."

"# 53:43 Substitution Eric Odhiambo comes on in place of Gil Blumenshtein."

2-0 Odihiambo. On the pitch for less than a minute and puts us firmly in the driving seat.

July 31, 201015 yr

WTF is the score ?

July 31, 201015 yr

Thats 3-0! Rossco gets in on the act. Get in!

56:19 GOAL - Ross Tokely : Inverness CT 3 - 0 Queens Park Goal scored by Ross Tokely from deep inside the penalty area to the top right corner of the goal. Inverness CT 3-0 Queens Park.

Now hopefully I wont click "add reply" then another goal.

July 31, 201015 yr

Bugger - noticing that Innes just went off despite coming on at half time. Hopefully both him and Munro aren't injured or we're fooked!

July 31, 201015 yr

Rosscoe scores but Innes limps off with a thigh strain - Feck me TB has finally but Royster in at left back - Golly and Rosscoe in central defence - now who would have thought that would happen !!

July 31, 201015 yr

Sorry DC- To confirm it is 3-0

Cox 22', Odhiambo 55' and Tokely 57'

July 31, 201015 yr

Eric has looked really sharp since coming on. Rossco booked for a silly handball.

July 31, 201015 yr

Vigurs sent off for an elbow in the County game. Heh.

Edited to add: crowd at Inverness 1099. 10 man County go ahead - Barrowman.

Harrys Bar have been Dunn in at Hellgin.

Eric always looks sharp but has he remembered to take the ball with him ?

Vigurs sent off for an elbow in the County game. Heh.

The hoolie goes off but Barrowload scores.

July 31, 201015 yr

Harrys Bar equalise :_shocked2: :_shocked2: :_thumbup:

July 31, 201015 yr

ICT 3 - 0 Queens Park Full Time

July 31, 201015 yr

Ross County 2 - 1 Livingston Full Time

July 31, 201015 yr

Well that was a bit of a boring game. ICT still seem too eager to punt it, with the play not being the best. The best players - Cox looked good, Blumanshtein had some nice touches and McCann was all right. Special mention though has to go to Odhiambo. What an improvement! Last season he could barely pass the ball, and now he's creating chances for fun! Unlike a certain Mr Rooney though who couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo! An improvement is still needed for Celtic mind.

July 31, 201015 yr

Positives: Eric looked dangerous with some good turns and runs on goal, he did well to charge down the keeper's kick effectively. Nick Ross looked confident on the ball and played some nice passes in and around the box, but should've scored near the end when he took a touch too many before shooting. Munro and Tokely won everything in the air today and were strong in the tackle. Cox seemed involved in everything today, breaking up play one minute and helping out the attack the next. McCann looked quite good and confident enough going forward, combing well with Nick Ross.

Negatives: 2 injured centre halves, perhaps Gillet will play in the middle on Tuesday? Too many invisible players, with Gil and Duncan the worst offenders. Danny Sanchez also had a poor game not contributing anything of note

July 31, 201015 yr

Cox, Ross and Oddi were outstanding today. Didn't see much by way of a meaningful contribution from Blumanshtein...

Team is crying out for the return of Foran and Hayes. Can't really see us doing a helluva lot in the SPL without them.

July 31, 201015 yr

Defence look at sixes and sevens more than once this game. A good team would have that. Still cant complain,... too much.

Eric seems to be continuing his imprvement from the end of last season, looks good on the ball and willing to work off it. Unlike some, yes I am looking at you Rooney, I suggest you pick up your towel, get off the beach and head back home from holidays. Term has started.

Ross looked like he will do something as did Bloomy at times, but still has a bit to learn about the Scottish game. Cox was efficient throughout, and even Sanchez seemed to pick up in half the second.

I know TerrynJune are still trying things out, but this defence looked vulnerable. I hope that the visits from our two foreign friends help us to reach some stability prior to the Tic match.

PS Odiambo's goal was the funniest bit of footie I have seen in an age. The ball bounced off the keeper and they were both looking for it, it landed and trickled towards goal, Odi an a Spider gace chase, but it slipped over, much to everyones delight.

Where did he play Bloomyshiner and Sanchez ??

July 31, 201015 yr

Job done. We never got out of second gear, but then we never really needed to, especially after the gift of a second goal.

I do hope we look a bit sharper at the back when we play Celtic though! At times Munro, Tokely and Golabek looked like they were moving in slow motion. Difficult to tell how bad the injuries to Innes and Munro are - Innes pulled a thigh muscle, while Munro I think had a gash on his foot...his sock was blood soaked as he went in at half-time.

Sanchez and Blumenshtein together? Not for me. One or the other, I think. Neither did anything to stand out.

MOM for me would be Lee Cox, who put in a superb shift to go with his goal.

Anyway, it's a definite improvement on the Montrose game from last season.

KDM Trophy 26/27

Those six games were key in getting oscar , jordan and others up to speed and also supporting a two squad team.

KDM Trophy 26/27

So getting promoted means we have six games fewer than last season. Not everyone will agree, but I think that's a good thing.

KDM Trophy 26/27

KDM Evolution Trophy 2026/27
SPFL announces expanded KDM Evolution Trophy format
The SPFL has today announced the format of the KDM Evolution Trophy for season 2026/27.
Following the success of last season’s revamped competition – which included an inaugural league phase – season 2026/27 will now see more clubs compete in an expanded 40-club league phase.
The following 10 guest clubs across the Scottish Highland Football League and the Scottish Lowland Football League East and West have accepted invitations into this season’s competition:
Banks o’ Dee
Berwick Rangers
Bonnyrigg Rose
Clachnacuddin
Clydebank
Cowdenbeath
Cumbernauld Colts
Formartine United
Fraserburgh
Gala Fairydean Rovers
They will join 10 William Hill League 1, 10 William Hill League 2 and 10 William Hill Premiership B-teams in the tournament’s opening round.
Clubs participating in the league phase will be split into four pots by division, with each club playing two different opponents from each other pot, totalling six matches. William Hill Premiership B-teams will again play all league phase matches away from home.
Points gained by clubs across six matchdays will feed into one league table, with the top 22 clubs qualifying for the knock-out Round of 32.
William Hill Championship clubs will enter the competition in the Round of 32 as seeded clubs, alongside teams finishing in the top six of the league phase, with the remainder of the competition following a traditional knock-out format.
Member clubs and the Scottish FA considered the new set-up hugely beneficial for youth players in providing more opportunities in the key ‘transition phase’ of ages 16-21, as players move from the academy environment to senior football. Youth prospects aged 15 will continue to be eligible to participate in the KDM Evolution Trophy, following a successful trial. The Scottish FA Cooperation System, which was designed to strengthen youth development in Scotland, has also been extended.
Neil Doncaster, group chief executive of the SPFL, said: “We are delighted to build on the success of last season’s new-look competition by inviting 10 guest clubs to participate in next season’s tournament, which will be sure to benefit the community clubs we have invited and provide new challenges for our member clubs.
“While we will continue to minimise travel with broadly regionalised league phase matches, following discussions with our members, home clubs will now retain gate receipts in full in the league phase, to support clubs financially.”
Over £1.3 million in prize money was shared with clubs for last season’s KDM Evolution Trophy, which was an increase of more than 50% on the previous year. The SPFL is pleased to confirm that last season’s prize money has been maintained for the 2026/27 tournament, with the winners receiving £150,000, and the runners-up £100,000.
The Scottish-based, internationally operating construction firm, KDM Group, remain proud title sponsors of the competition.
Iain Jones, Chief Executive of KDM Group, said: “We are extremely excited to continue our partnership with the KDM Evolution Trophy after a highly successful first season of the new-look competition. Next season’s expanded format promises to deliver even more excitement and opportunities to clubs and players across the country, which reflects KDM Group’s support for Scottish football across all levels of the game.”

The KDM Evolution Trophy league phase will commence on the midweek of August 11/12, where participants will look to better Inverness Caledonian Thistle’s run to the final last season. Championship clubs will again enter at the Round of 32 stage on November 3/4, with the 2026/27 showpiece final taking place on either the weekend of March 27/28 or April 3/4.
The fixtures for the 2026/27 KDM Evolution Trophy league phase will be published on Thursday 16 July at 1.00pm.
The full schedule of prize money for the KDM Evolution Trophy is set out below:
Winners: £150,000
Runners-up: £100,000
Eliminated in semi-finals: £75,000
Eliminated in quarter-finals: £50,000
Eliminated in Round of 16: £40,000
Eliminated in Round of 32: £30,000
Eliminated in league phase: £15,000 - £18,500 (depending on final league position)
A summary of key competition dates is set out below:
League Phase MD1: August 11/12
League Phase MD2: August 25/26
League Phase MD3: September 8/9
League Phase MD4: September 22/23

World Cup

I agree with that.
I can't see Argentina repeating and my Brazilian colleague tells me that they are not good right now, although in Brazilian terms that likely translates to only being good enough for the quarters or semis! No other country springs to mind as an eventual winner other than France or Spain although Spain also have a bit of controversy going on after naming no Real Madrid players to the squad.

Don't know what to make of Haiti. That's a pretty good result but looking at the squad list there are only a handful of players at recognisable clubs. One of them - Derrick Etienne Jr - plays for Toronto so I see him every week. A pacy winger, who will be familiar with the stadium in Boston, but someone who flatters to deceive most weeks. Scored something like 8 in 46 games for Haiti and only 5 in 60 for Toronto but popped up just a couple of weeks ago to score an absolute banger against Charlotte. Hopefully that is him done scoring for the season - internationally at least!
Not that I put much faith in the rankings, but it does have to be noted that Haiti are 83rd and New Zealand are 85th. The two lowest ranked teams in the tournament. Even Cape Verde (69) and Curacao (82) are ahead of them. Scotland are at #43. What surprised me - in the rankings - is that Ghana, who I thought were higher ranked, are listed at 74th spot so round of the 'worst five' according to the rankings.
