Seeing those pics has me really confused...............is that cardboard cutouts in the terracing?

November 19, 201114 yr

Cheers Mr Cam, it shows the ref being influenced by kebabs antics...........what a divot.

November 19, 201114 yr

What sums it up for me, is that if you hadn't seen the game or heard the score and you turned on the radio to hear "Inverness's match against Celtic was decided by a controversial decision", you'd bet your house it would have gone Celtic's way wouldn't you?!

November 19, 201114 yr

wasnt impressed with the school kids section being filled with Celtic fans :irritated:

Do you have any evidence? Did you complain to stewards?

I had more of a problem with the home end not being filled up with more Caley fans.

Bit of extra cash for the club letting the Invernesian green and whites pay to get a ring side seat of how win by cheating.They are supporting a team with no Honor and deserve no respect.

What was the story behind the man and boy being chucked out of the North stand, I take it his dad was being a knob, the boy must have been mortified as I saw him covering his face.

November 19, 201114 yr

O'Reilly?

Now, where does that name come from?

I'm just not sure.

Probably just a coincidence, eh?

November 19, 201114 yr

He was the ref when we fecked their title chances last season

November 19, 201114 yr

despite the fact that the geek milked it the picture tend to show that from the refs angle Tansey raised his arm and connected with the geek.

Felt sorry for the young kid he was in floods of tears with our fans shouting and showing a fair bit of hatred to them for being in the home end - the kid was only about ten and while I totally agree they shouldn't have been in there our own reaction was a bit extreme as they didn't appear to be causing any bother. SPL rules and all that I'm sure but FFS we had 1300 empty seats approx, I've sat with away fans in years gone by and only ever been treated with good banter and certainly never with the vitriol and hatred that was shown to this father son combo.

November 19, 201114 yr

I'm not in the habit of having a go at referees but it seems that some refs are running scared of upsetting Neil Lennon after his tantrums last season. Today's game was a prime example. I was proud of our team and the way they played today though. There wasn't a weak link in the side and we were the better team until the ref's intervention with the red card. A bit disappointed with the size of the home support today. The way the team are playing just now they deserve a lot more supporters at home games. Its just a pity that so many of the noisy glory hunters in the away end were from places like Dalneigh, Hilton, Dingwall, Wick, Fort William etc. Didn't know there was so much famine and oppression going on in these places (banners, songs etc.)?!?!

November 19, 201114 yr

Why didn't the stewards put them our the other gate instead of parading them right along the north stand? Felt sorry for the young boy who looked really distressed. Dont know if anything happened for them to be chucked out though.

November 20, 201114 yr

I was at the game and it will be reflected in my report how angry i feel. I missed the rangers game earlier in the season but from the radio reports i heard up until tokely being sent off for a perfect tackle rangers didnt look like they were making to much of an impression on our goal and that we without creating loads of chances still had enough to trouble them until of course the ref got involved. Today must have been an action replay because up until the sending off celtic did very little to worry our defence, infact the best chance of the game fell to us with Hayes brilliant low shot being turned behind. But i was seething at that scandolous decision and i had a horrible feeling something like that would happen. Earlier i think davis made a great tackle on one of the celtic midfielders who was bursting forward. But instead of us collecting the ball and getting forward into some space O Reilly called it back for a free kick even though davis clearly got the ball. And i agree with everything tht the sportsound team had to say when they commented that O Reilly couldnt wait to get the red out. Samaras is a cheat and a disgrace to the game there is diving to cause an advantage like win a pen or free kick but then there is diving and feigning injury to get another professional sent off. If i was samaras i would take a hard long look at myself but i bet he and his other band of diving pricks really give a toss. With Celtic the ends really do justify the means. Tansey was clearly distraught and yet again the old firm who aint as good as years gone by are just given a wee helping hand here and there just to make sure that their supremacy is untouched. I dont think any of the refs are biased i just think they are plain **** and are helping to destroy scottish football with their incompetance and quality as a whole. But there was a positive and that was that the team put in another solid performance. Davis was exceptional when we had 11 as well the back four being mighty. And as i said in the preview that this game isnt really a game that will determine our fate while it was more important for them, if we had a 11 the longer we made celtic to look enept the more desperate they would become and the greater confidence we would have to believe we could win it but no it was ruined. I also did think it was strange giving celtic the west side which was right next us. They were very awful i sit in the family stand near the west enclosure and sit with alot of families with young children who were having to put up with fans making hand gestures especially when they scored and at the red card totally uncalled for and now explains why all celtic fans grew up to be cretinous ********

November 20, 201114 yr

I really enjoyed the day, apart from the result obviously, but i am slightly disappointed with myself now because i had the chance of being on tv but refused, DOH. One of the ESPN cameramen seen me getting my ticket out of my pocket near the clubshop or front enterance area and asked me if he could get my ticket for a close up shot of it and then he wanted me to hold up the ticket to camera and at that point i refused, much to the disappointment of the 2 guys i went down with, anyone see this lol, totally embarrassed as there was a big crowd who turned round once the 2 guys i went down with started trying to coax me into it.

This is the 1st time i have gone away from a match feeling optimistic about our survival chances and that was mainly down to how we played up until the controversial sending off.

Edited November 20, 201114 yr by Mahonio

November 20, 201114 yr

At the risk of sounding as paranoid as most of the celtic support, i felt a big decision was going to go against us yesterday.

The other ugly sister could have gone 15 pts clear yesterday and that couldnt be allowed to happen. Who's going to take sky or espn when league is over in november?

November 20, 201114 yr

also the stewards were ready to chuck out the wrong guy- which was worrying!!!

also someone enlighten me - why were the celtic fans singing `DIEGO MARADONA` is it stokes nickname? what a joke

Think they were singing DIEGO MARADONA to wind up Terry Butcher. He hates the guy after the "hand of god" incident. He also hates Argentina and feels so angry whenever he sees the top as he sees them as divers and cheats.

I thought we played really well yesterday. As for Celtic, they were "street smart" in that they stole a few yards with every throw and free kick but they were also dirty cheats in the way they:

1) Dived at every opportunity

2) Faked injury to get our players booked/sent off

3) Crowded the referee to try to get our players booked whenever they could

4) Niggled and pushed whenever they could get away with it

Sadly the muppets that were masquerading as officials fell for it every single time. Absolutely appalling officiating.

Still, the Celtic players proved one thing: "They are all Neil Lennon!"

November 20, 201114 yr

Seeing those pics has me really confused...............is that cardboard cutouts in the terracing?

I was thinking the same thing myself. Isnt the use of terracing banned in the SPL?

November 20, 201114 yr

Just watched the highlights, and didn't notice watching live but in the build up to "the" incident, Josh Meekings is dragged by the arm to the ground by Stokes, Rosscoe and Chris Hogg look for it to be given but no.

Interesting to note the commentator saying that the ref couldn't get the card out quickly enough, it was in the top pocket ready, but it was in with his notebook the rest of the game. :ponder:

November 20, 201114 yr

What annoys me, is not just that the referee got a couple of decisions wrong, it's that he's proven himself to be nothing but a coward. The fact he cowardly refused to meet with Butcher at the game just proves that.

November 20, 201114 yr

it was surprising to have the away fans over that section which has got 80 or 100 or so seats in place although as you could see most were standing.

Was it pre arranged i wonder or a last minute decision - they couldnt oversell allocation of .tickets so surely mustve known.

Cant say its a safe & sound idea- who can explain ?

Then later on in the afternoon Motherwell fans were thrown out of Pittodrie by police... for standing!

November 20, 201114 yr

As if giving the Tattie Munchers part of the main stand and then the West stand isn't insulting enough they still feel it necessary to buy tickets for the North stand. So no sympathy for anyone who does that being chucked out. Of course we can't fill our seats with home fans because a lot of folk are so disillusioned with the way most games against the OF are decided these days that they can't be bothered going. Mr O'Reilly, you are also an absolute disgrace.

November 20, 201114 yr

That's actually a point I was going to make. The attendance was something like 6,400 odd IIRC. That's well below what we used to get against the Old Firm. Is it the recent poor form, financial climate or how games against the Old Firm normally go? Regardless, I was a wee bit disappointed with the turn out from ICT.

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
League Phase MD5: September 26/27
League Phase MD6: October 13

Quarter-finals: January 12/13
Semi-finals: February 9/10
Final: March 27/28 or April 3/4

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.
