Anyone up for a wee away day tomorrow. A couple of us are planning the short trip over the bridge to bolster the Dundee support. Heilandee has graced our ground on many occasions, so we thought we could repay the favour. See you in the Mallard for pre match drinkies. :003:

Just our luck when we need a top Centre Half and a good reserve goalie that Ross County's role as our feeder club is lacking.

January 28, 200719 yr

Anyone know who the giant Dundee centre half is? My old man was very impressed with him and the tiny right back

January 28, 200719 yr

The right back was Jay Shields on loan from Hibs, dunno about the centre half mind

Kevin Macdonald,Scotland under 19 player,highly rated, Celtic made a bid for him last year(£75,000) but thankfully got knocked back.Didn't think he had a great game yesterday,as Wyness shuffle says Jay Shields was the wee guy , brother of Dean Shields who county just signed from Gretna but wisnae playin yesterday as he got sent off last week v Clyde

January 28, 200719 yr

I thought McDonald looked good for Dundee - wasn't severely tested right enough, but he looked the part... can you mind Ian Ure, H/Dee... Could he be a grandson....!!..??

I also thought the County keeper looked useful....he wasn't severely tested either, but did command his area pretty well.....

January 28, 200719 yr

CAN EH MIND IAN URE....FFS HOW AULD DO YOU THINK EH AM!!!! :008: he left in 62 ,Sure Kevin would be flattered to be likened to him. Their keeper was ex Arab Samson and fair seemed to enjoy the "banter" fae oor fans (not)

January 29, 200719 yr

Just as well the Dundee fans didnt phone the cops on you Caley fans like they did when a few Arabs went up to the game last season. They were donating a cheque to the Ross County Youth Team at half time and went on with a Utd flag for a photo. The Dundee fans went mental and phoned the fuzz :026:

January 29, 200719 yr

U Arabs love dishinh out cheques for little in return don't you? :004:

January 30, 200719 yr

Ross County seem to have a very tall player according to their website who would be tall enough for the SPL -

Andy Dowie

Position: Defender

Date of Birth: 25/03/1983

Height: 6’11”

Previous Clubs: Rangers, Partick Thistle, Stranraer

January 31, 200719 yr

Impeccable sources have just informed me that a signing is being negotiated as a result of the ICT delegation who attended this game on Saturday...... but it's not Don Cowie.... :024:

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 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

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.
