[success='GOOD LUCK MARCHERS']CTO wishes the Highland Marchers the very best of luck as they set out for Hamilton after tonight's game. This will be the toughest HM yet with the guys attempting to walk roughly 175 miles between 10pm tonight and 2pm on Saturday. Thats roughly equivalent to 2.75 miles per hour non-stop for 64 hours -- although in reality they will probably have to walk faster than that to make up for the odd break here and there. You can follow the Marchers progress at http://highlandmarch.co.uk @HighlandMarch on Twitter or you by reading their latest twitter updates in a sidebar on the main news page of this site (http://caleythistleonline.com) or the forum index at http://community.caleythistleonline.com.

Better still - can anyone tell me when was the last time Caley Thistle won three at home in the SPL?

Has that ever happened?

In 06/07 we won consecutive home games against Rangers, St. Mirren and Hibs.

Thanks Stan. So that's 06/07 - Rangers, St. Mirren, Hibs under Charlie and 10/11 - Celtic, St Mirren, Hibs under Terry Butcher. The only difference is the OF club involved - and the corresponding "previous history" of the manager!

Edited May 12, 201115 yr by Charles Bannerman

May 12, 201115 yr

Who was the guy up front for Hibs, no 16 or 18 I think . He was an absolute disgrace had no intention of trying to play footbal only trying to wind Rosscoe up. Amazed at Rosscoe's restraint. Has there been issues between the pair before.

Unbelievable that the linesman never saw anything.

That'll be number 18, Akpo Sodje (definitely not 16 - Lewis [stevenson] has far too much class.)

Sodje was in our line-up the last time both sides met at Easter Road. Can't recall if there was anything in that game that might have sparked something between the two, but that's the only previous time they'd have come up against one another.

Poor game but 2-0 win means it was at least worthwhile. Nick Ross was long overdue a goal but it was a cracking finish. Hibs looked like a depleted and burnt out team. They are in need of a real shake up.

That's a fair understatement there! You're absolutely correct though, and while we do desperately need that shake up, I still have serious doubts as to whether we have the correct manager in place to implement it as required. I thank heavens for that purple patch over February/March, as otherwise, I'm in no doubt we'd currently be bound for the first division. It has been a truly horrific season.

You were very deserved winners, yet again, last night. Mr Butcher is surely in with a very good shout for another 'manager of the month' award now.

Actually felt quite sad at the end of the game. Its the end of an era for the long term servants, and by the looks of it theres no real chance of a reprise for Granty. It'll be the first time i've ever seen a Caley squad that didn't contain Duncan, Munro or McBain.

On the plus side the performances of Sutherland and Ross tonight did show that the future is bright for us in terms of emerging talent.

Roll on next season.

In a season where my team have left me seriously questioning why I put myself through it every week, your team have been a welcome breath of fresh air to watch (last year likewise) whenever I've made the trip up (not just for Hibs games either!), on the two occasions at Easter Road, and in the televised games I've seen. With any luck I'll manage to take in a couple of your pre-season games when we have nothing going on.

I also can't for the life of me understand why Grant Munro is being released. Even if there are financial motives for doing so. He's looked the typical committed, solid yet unspectacular model pro of the ilk that so often prove vital assets to their teams every time I've watched him (has he had a testimonial in his time?) Surely even a one-year extension wouldn't have done any harm? You've got a few talented players on your books at the minute, but what has always come across extremely well to me is their attitudes and worth ethic as a unit. Our pathetic, workshy lot could really do with taking heed of that example.

I hope you manage to finish off your season on a high at Hamilton on Saturday and good luck in advance for 2011-2012.

All the best as ever.

Well there's a thoroughly decent fellow who gives Scottish football a good name!

And I have to say there were a good few more Hibees of the same ilk on the bus which decanted itself into the Social Club (and overwhelmed the catering staff!!) before the match.

It really is such a refreshing thing, especially at the end of the kind of season Scottish football has just had, to see fans from visiting teams mixing in with the home supporters in such a civilised way.

Indeed Alex, but it's also a virtue not by any means universally practised within Scottish football!

I would have to say that I have had one or two other very good experiences in the Social Club when fans of visiting clubs drop in for a beer etc. I really enjoy the opportunity to find out how things are on the other side of the fence. There were some really decent Jambos in last month - one of whom remembered a blether we'd had on their previous visit in September.

I think that visiting fans in the Social Club is a great idea, especially since the ones you wouldn't want probably wouldn't come so there's almost an automatic safety net built in there.

Apart from filling Westie's coffers, it also promotes good relations between the supports which, as Alex said, is what it's all about.

Who was officially credited with our first goal? Having seen the highlights it looks like Rooney to me, Foran's (excellent) header looked like it was just trundling along the line, hadn't crossed it and wasn't going to. Hard to tell though.

May 12, 201115 yr

I hope the Hibs v Aberdeen match is a cracker, reduced admission too for Eddie turnballs memorial match.

Yep, definitely looked like Adam actually put it over the line.

still officially credited to Foran as far as I am aware.

Looking at the highlights frame-by-frame when processing them, it is very difficult to tell. If they are saying it was over the line when it hit the post then fair enough, it may well have been, its just hard to see on video and in that case it's Foran's. However, if they saying it crossed the line after hitting the post then it should go to Rooney as he is the one to hit it over the line.

Will add a few screengrabs of the relevant frames here soon.

The highlights will be up on ICTFC.com in the next 15-20 minutes for anyone who has not been able to view them so far.

EDIT: added screengrabs from video

hits post. Inside or outside ?

bounces outside of the goal line

Rooney knocks it in

What is not in doubt though is that it was a great "Bobbyesque" ball from Tokely to Foran in the build up though !!!

It was certainly credited initially to Rooney but then most opinion seemed to switch to Foran. The pictures seem to be inconclusive.

The post match banter was rather good and I had to have a laugh at the interview Jim Spence did with Adam which was only used for quotes for online copy and never appeared online or on air as an interview apart from the clip I couldn't resist using for local broadcast.

Here was Rooney waxing lyrical about the club's youngsters like Nick Ross and Liam Polworth with this loud interjection in the background proclaiming "It wuz ovurr de loine... Richie Foran says it wuz ovurr de loine!!!"

Much funnier when heard for real!

May 13, 201115 yr

Had it not been Rooney on the line to make sure, but a Hibee defender hooking it clear, I doubt the officials would have awarded the goal. Rooney's goal for sure, for sure.

May 13, 201115 yr

Can we change it to Rooney then? I want my npl points! :tongueincheek:

May 13, 201115 yr

I read that as nipple points the first time and thought wow, a Rooney goal can really do that for a lady?

May 14, 201115 yr

Are you saying it doesn't affect your moobs like that? :nanananana:

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.
