Kind of Blue

The ball looked to me to be still in play and therefore he was entitled to kick it out the park if he wished. The ref and linesman made some shocking decisions tonight.

Polworth Man of the Match!! I must have been at a different game. Apart from a couple of decent passes he continues to give the ball away far too easily and gives up when beaten ,. How he gets a game

Polworth was to me outstanding. Vigurs was controlled and saved a certain goal when it was three on one. Donaldson was class. Warren is now using his experience to our benefit. I was there to see Mulr

Promising starting line up. C'mon!!!! :ictscarf:

January 9, 20188 yr

Indeed and hopefully Falkirk will have used up all their seasons goals on Sat too

Better get in the car quick..............

January 9, 20188 yr

Glad Oakley has scored, think he might be our man, still only 20 and learning the game!

January 9, 20188 yr

Watch out for the 6 goal backlash now though!

Great start and hopefully we take our chances tonight.

January 9, 20188 yr

The Newbie, Auston, is not on the list? Experience is the decision, then, for this important match.

Great start though. :clapoverhead:

January 9, 20188 yr

Sounds like some top officiating again tonight.... :crazy:

So, do you think that Dundee U. were so poor that Falkirk flattered to deceive?

Update on actual score please? Thank you.

January 9, 20188 yr

3-0 and a first goal for Jake! I decided not to go tonight because I am still recovering from a virus. By the sounds of things, having a bit of a relapse would have been well worth it. Keep it up lads!

January 9, 20188 yr

I'm no happy - they've completely screwed my NPL forecast!!! :crazy:

January 9, 20188 yr

I raise my bovril in celebration of that first half. :clapoverhead:

January 9, 20188 yr

We've had this in us for a while - the good passing and movement, just the finishing to improve. Hope this is a sign of things to come. Only 3 points off 4th/5th place. Encouraging.

January 9, 20188 yr

Don't count your chickens yet. Falkirk scored 4 in the 2nd half on Saturday :sad:

He’s been threatening to do that for his last 53 games!

January 9, 20188 yr

Totally bummed out that I am missing this. Cracking scoreline so far and fingers crossed it gets even better second half.

January 9, 20188 yr

What a pleasant surprise! Is that Mulraney's first goal for us? Keep it up lads.

Onwards and upwards.

January 9, 20188 yr

Standing watching the Waltzing Waters here in Playa de las Americas, Tenerife and my mobile vibrated twice in as many minutes. Thought it was one of two things, ...... either Teide decided to blow its top off or my mobile was giving a low battery warning. Blow it, Caley were three up at its wasn’t even half time. Is this the turning point of the season ???!!

January 9, 20188 yr

Two bookings - Oakley and Warren - and two subs for injury - Tremarco and Mulraney - though.

Right now I'd settle for a quiet second half and just 3-0 :crazy:

January 9, 20188 yr

Make that 3 bookings.. Chalmers now.

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 league phase: £15,000 - £18,500 (depending on final league position)

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.
