Listening to Terry Butcher on open all mikes, Were all behind you Terry you sock it to them.

January 18, 201115 yr

Agree with everything Butcher said there. What a great manager.

January 18, 201115 yr

Might want to organise a whip round for the fine :tongueincheek:

January 18, 201115 yr

TB has just had the greatest RANT I have ever heard on Radio Scotland about League Reconstruction, he was getting breathless and when at the end John Barnes offered him a glass of red wine, TB replied 'Give me a bottle of red wine and I'll smash it over someone's head!'

Quality :twothumbsup:

January 18, 201115 yr

Sounded like we could of got a point, not a bad performance. Where was Duncan by the way?

January 18, 201115 yr

Terry getting a lot of support on the radio as well! :twothumbsup:

January 18, 201115 yr

Great Terry interview......and sounding like he has a great amount of support!

Loved the bottle of wine joke at the end ha!

January 18, 201115 yr

No wonder we all love Terry! The man is a legend. Fantastic interview spoken with so much passion.Think Kencar is right about the whip round tho.

January 18, 201115 yr

Anyone know when that will be up on the bbc sport website? Can't wait to here it again!

January 18, 201115 yr

Wow.

Hope I can find it somewhere to listen. Will there be a link to Terry's rant on the front of the Caley Thistle Online web page Scotty-- maybe?

I could not get any commentary anywhere for today's match so I went on the perfectly poor two people and looked at the Ayr versus Hibs game. Even in the three minutes that I watched, it was a very lackadaisical and depressed, inactive Hibs lot on show. I could not detect any urgency or drive. To be perfectly frank it looks as if the players have lost all interest and have almost given up. I agree that that was only a few minutes but --where is this team going--relegation maybe?

Good for Ayr another payday to help them along.

January 18, 201115 yr

County beaten 4-3 on penalties!

January 18, 201115 yr

All Hail Terry what a fantastic Interview , it just shows how much he really loves the club :twothumbsup:

January 18, 201115 yr

Terry is a Legend.

Not only is he passionate about football he loves ICT.

A very articulate interview he knows how to stick it to the central belt morons!

January 18, 201115 yr

That is the best post match interview ever!

Tonight is the night, as if we didn't know already, that Terry Butcher became a true Highlander!

January 18, 201115 yr

Second thought--what a leader! :bouncyred:

January 18, 201115 yr

Terry has to be the best manager in the word!

He speaks right from the heart and really cares about caley!

THE ONLY TRUE FOOTBALLING LEGEND :twothumbsup:

He connects so well with fans!

He really cares about the city as well as the club!

January 18, 201115 yr

Mega respect for TB regarding that interview. In my opinion he was 100% correct in everything he said. While were on the subject of respect I have to admire and take my hat off to all the fans that made the two trips down at this time of the year for the last two matches. I felt like an impostor as my total travel for both games was an measly 58 miles. Still I'm home now and enjoying a rather nice malt to console myself for a match that I thought we could have won or more fairly drawn. Rangers were there for the taking in my humble opinion.

January 19, 201115 yr

We can take quite a lot of encouragement from that performance. It was maybe a good time to get a little experimental with the line-up - a game where a defeat wouldn't be considered a failure - and I thought it improved the team. Odihambo had a fine game on the right wing, running at and beating his opponents regularly and also working back well. His choice of final ball wasn't always great, but he's worth persevering with there for as long as Hayes is out. Sanchez also offered a bit of composure on the ball - he's not afraid to take people on either, and looked willing to shield the ball and try to make time for effective passes. If he tracked back a little more and was willing to put his head in where it hurts sometimes, he could be really effective playing behind a main striker. There was certainly a lot more creativity going forward today than on Saturday, and Nick Ross looked very solid playing in a deeper role alongide Duff. The defence also played well: Tokely had Weiss in his pocket for most of the game and Innes and Munro look very composed playing together. No glaring weaknesses for us tonight, although the final ball could have been better, but Duff needs to look up and choose his passes a bit better, and Foran wasn't as influential as he's capable of being. We were speculating about whether he's still carrying an injury: despite the header that was touched onto the bar, he's certainly not winning as much of the ball in the air as he did last season, although admittedly tonight he was often competing against a very good header of the ball in Andy Webster.

Rangers created few real chances and got the goal at a very lucky time after we'd matched them throughout the first half. It was good finish from Davis, but it looked like we had lost concentration for a minute after surviving the previous attack, because no-one got out to close him down. Apparently Rooney was fouled in the build-up, but I don't remember the incident. Rangers definitely had more of the ball for most of the second half, but in the last ten minutes Caley Thistle were on top and there was obvious anxiety around Ibrox that we would get the equaliser and a geniuine sense of relief when the final whistle sounded.

A decent performance and a dsiappointing result then, and although Hamilton will set themselves out differently against us, I hope Terry Butcher will give Odhiambo and Sanchez another chance on Saturday. Away to listen to this much-trailed interview and then to bed.

Guess your far travelled ticket made it's way from the tin of biscuits on time then. Glad you enjoyed the game. I'd forgotted about the loss as soon as I heard Terry's post match comments, absolutely fantastic

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.
