Mon the Cowden! Finally a win! It is hell sitting watching the scores come in over the internet and how come the Cowden games the last to come through! Berwick and Brechin falling behind by 6 points.

So how was the game? Was it a penalty? Pat Clarke is hitting form I take it??

Well done the lads anyway!!

[Toddy]

Well done Cowden` today. Puts a bit of light between yourselves and the bottom 2......any chance of Pat Clarke back??

The game was mostly pish, the penalty was soft after a Queen's defensive blunder and Queen's look as though they will never score another goal this season. A dreadful afternoon. No wonder I drink. That is all.

A pish game with an even pisher referee. Utterly dreadful doesn't even begin to cover it. The final ball was shocking at times. Never a penalty. If there was a way that both teams could have lost the game it would have been thoroughly merited. I want my tenner back.

Pish game, but this time we didn't take three points. I thought it was a penalty, it was really careless defending. Seems like we are slipping back to the QP I know only too well - passing it around the outside of the box with little penetration. A couple of weeks break should do us good to regroup, and perhaps try a few new things out in training.

Pip pip! the jolly old parasites try out some new training techniques in preperation to keep up their top form of 7 defeats in 8 matches. Tally ho!

[GeeJay]

Also, credit to Cowden for their decent away support, but very little noise. Hope you all enjoyed the day out anyway.

[Zanetti]

Right, own up, who shot him?

I thought we were poor again but I'm still not dishearted (am I crazy?). I'm still confident we'll find form again.

You were crazy even before today's game. You have always been crazy.

[flyingscot]

Poor game, neither team were good and lack a finisher. I never saw the penalty was too far away, but it was careless to give them the chance. For me both were too defensive, and Queens, despite being a goal behind never seemed bothered about it and didn't go for it- weren't flooding the Cowdenbeath defence. There was even a moment where the ball went into the air in the Cowdenbeath box and no Queens player went to it!

FWIW I didn't think the referee was all that bad, although there was a decent shout for a Queens penalty, but both ref and linesman were on the wrong side.

[Spiders For Life]

We need a fully fit squad to do well, we lack depth in our squad and cannot afford stupid suspensions. I didn't think either team was brilliant today, we had more possession but again lack a finisher. I don't think McGrady can cut it to be honest.

2 week break will do us good. C'mon on queens...

[stockcar willie]

The foul/lunge on Ronald by Galloway cost us the game as the big man had to go off. Galloway should have been sent off for it.

[vince sinclair]

It was a poor game, however we've played a lot better this season and NOT won, so it was a welcome 3 points.

Clarke should have scored in the opening few minutes and QP should have scored when it looked easier to score (header in 1st half).

The "cat" pulled of a great save in the 2nd half.

Didn't have a great view of the penalty being at the other side of the ground, but it looked like a silly clumsy challenge by the QP player.

See you next season QP - you're coming back down with Berwick

Always nice to see a jealous visitor from the diddy league. 2-0 up at home to Elgin then losing 3-2 ouch!

What ever happens at least they got up in the first place

[King Kong Bundy]

The referees are getting worse. I've already mentioned Galloway's rugby tackle on Ronald, which I'm surprised the big man got up from.

The Cowden penalty was a dive but this was no surprise as Clarke was at it all day. There was another laughable attempt at getting a penalty from him which should have seen him booked - the referee motioned for him to 'get up', so why no card? McKendrick saw fit to book Trouten (rightly) for diving seconds later, however.

Also, Dunlop was blatantly elbowed and went down with an injury. Of course the referee was nowhere near the incident (just as he was nowhere near the penalty, which the assistant didn't see as a problem). After noticing Dunlop had a cut on his head, he sent Mick off the field for treatment. Can you imagine what would have happened had Cowden scored during this time? I wonder if it crossed the referee's mind at any stage how Dunlop acquired this injury.

A funnier incident was when Cowden's McBride committed his second offence within the space of a minute just after getting booked. He had his head in his hands, knowing that he probably would be sent off for what was a late tackle. The referee, probably forgetting that he had booked him seconds earlier, just gave the free-kick and moved on. A poorly programmed robot.

-------------

Neither team really deserved to score yesterday as Cowden and Queen's were hardly in each other's penalty areas. I'm struggling to think of a polite word to describe them, so I'll just state the obvious and say that we need to be back at full strength ASAP!

You don't need to dive when Agostini's around - just stand there waiting and he'll upend you sure enough.

If there's a pyramid system introduced in the SFL this year, you'll be playing Easthouses Welfare and Lothian Thistle, not us.
