Terry Butcher interview

Terry just gave a strong interview on the radio regarding the SPL, where he is sticking two fingers up at the authorities for their attitude for not wanting Caley Thistle in the top league.

Got to applaud Terry for speaking what every fan is thinking, Im sure someone will share the link once it is up on BBC website.

Jambo here. Just had to register to post support for Terry Butcher. Tremendous that a such a high profile character has the balls to speak out so passionately about this ridiculous 10 team

Sutherland isn't fit to speak Terry's name IMO. The sooner we're rid of him, the better.

As a Celtic supporter who has long admired Inverness Caley Thistle's efforts to promote the game in the North (honest) I applaud Terry Butcher's comments on the BBC interview. I have yet to meet anyo

I hope so too. Desperate to hear it. I know it will be from the heart.

Bully for you Terry my man. :clapping:

Any chance that Terry could be an honorary chairman for the next meeting

I have just finished writing to both Doncaster and Topping outlining my views on the 10 team league proposal and also asking why ICT had to travel over 300 miles tonight in the middle of January when there were other teams located closer who could have gone to Ibrox.

As I was finishing the letters who came on the radio but Sir Terry. Brilliant interview, passionately put across. If anyone ever had doubts about Terry and Maurice's commitment to ICT and the town (city) of Inverness then just listen to this interview. Fantastic stuff.

just listened to Terry's interview, Brilliant, what he said, spoken from the HEART !!!

January 18, 201115 yr

Shame that he'll probably get fined for speaking the truth

January 18, 201115 yr

i feel absolutely over the moon by this interview and i dont care what the spl or sfa decide to do to him he has spoken his voice and would hope that fans from other clubs can hear this and take this on board for the backing to a protest against this idea of reconstruction and the thing im liking here is that terry is a rangers legend at yet he isnt biased to see that the old firm are the bully boys here

This affects more than the likes of us wanting to improve their clubs chances of staying in the SPL, or improve 1st division clubs chances of promotion, it effects the very existence of football clubs, it effects jobs,it effects communities.

So I am asking you to copy and paste this link and forward it to the people in the community, and ask them to forward it on too.

I have always liked Terry Butcher's honest and forthright interviews, even when he was at Ibrox and especially at Fir Park and at ICT but this one tops the lot !!! Send the Red Wine to TB c/o Caledonian Stadium. Sturdy bottles only !!!

Terry sir, you are a feckin legend !!!

and yes, he probably will get into bother because the bureaucrats without bollocks dont like it when someone tells it like it actually is !!!

January 18, 201115 yr

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

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.
