The Minertaur

Tam O'Brien as well. Sandy Hodge on the other hand....

Loan signing for us now. Adam MacDonald from Motherwell. Attacking midfielder.

What sort of food from the chipper? Haddock? Salt and sauce? All important elements that are missing.

I can literally close the thread now. Thanks.

I'm sure a lot of people on here will be familiar with the podcast Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster. Each episode the bring a celebrity in to discuss their dream starter, main, side, dessert and drink (not always in that order). There's discussions around the type of water for the table and whether the pre-meal dish should be bread or poppadoms. Well worth a listen. I was at a wedding at the weekend and got chatting to an old school mate about it and I've now got a couple of new restaurants that I'd like to try in future. So to the Pie and Bovril masses. What is your dream meal? It can be anything you've ever eaten at a restaurant, some old home cooking from your gran or even just a Big Mac meal. I'll kick things off with my terrible effort: Still or Sparkling Water - Still. I will never understand anybody who chooses sparkling water. It just tastes weird. No fruit in the glass and just crushed ice please. Poppadoms or Bread - Cheesy garlic bread from The Gaff in Ellon. Stunning dough and incredible cheese. It's more like a pizza than a garlic bread. If you're ever going to a game in Peterhead then I'd encourage you to stop off in Ellon on your way back and try out the food. This photo is the only one I can find online but it looks much better in real life! Starter - Playing it safe and dull here. TGIs Jack Daniels Sesame Chicken. We all know it. Not the fanciest thing in the world but something I always look forward to. Honourable mentions to a black pudding tower and the beef and tattie soup that my wifes Granny makes. Main Meal - a steak from hawksmoor. Probably a rib eye - cooked medium. Need I add more? I was unaware that they'd opened a restaurant in Edinburgh! Not putting a picture of a steak up as I'm fairly sure you could all figure it out. Peppercorn sauce please. Side Dish: triple cooked chips. Bit of parmesan on top. OR the Miller & Carter camembert mash. Incredible. Screw it give me them both. Wee bit of mixed veg. Cannae beat a tenderstem. Pudding - lemon posset. I've only had 1 ever in my life and it was on my wedding day. I've yet to find a restaurant that does it. It's just cream, sugar and lemon juice but it's the lightest, most delicious dessert I've had. Drink - I'd be happy with a malbec or a pint of Brew Toon Mango Unchained. It would be great to get some recommendations for restaurants in Scotland and further afield.

So are Stirling at home or away?

Let's be blunt here. It was great to be in the league cup but we've started with possibly the hardest game we could this season? It's literally the best team remaining in the league from last season away from home. To get a point no matter the circumstances is a huge step forward for us compared to last year. This is exciting. We are genuinely good enough to compete this year. I have full faith in Callum and co to deliver the goods. Today is disappointing but not many other teams will go to Celtic B away and complain about getting a point.

I imagine we're all expecting to be one of the higher up sides in the division. We're yet to face a team at this level but I'd be disappointed if we aren't in the top 2 or 3 non Colt teams.

Interesting thing to note...... Referee tonight is the son of former ref Colin Hardie who absolutely loved Cowdenbeath.....

Week 1 - Celtic

God just reading this thread is exciting

From the Stirling Albion website match report: "Stirling were awarded a penalty when Deas brought down MacDonald and referee Scott Lambie pointed to the spot, although the highlights suggested the contact was just outside the box. Dylan Mackin coolly converted the spot-kick for his fourth goal of the season."

Matches that Scott Lambie has reffed involving us.... Elgin 1 v 0 Cowden Cowden 0 v 3 Annan Albion 0 v 0 Cowden Cove 3 v 1 Cowden (Cox sent off) Cowden 3 v 1 Annan Annan 1 v 0 Cowden Annan 3 v 2 Cowden Peterhead 1 v 0 Cowden Stirling 2 v 1 Cowden (Deas sent off) Montrose 1 v 1 Cowden Not quite Colin Hardie levels. How has he reffed so many matches with us and Annan?

Ignoring the penalties that is a tremendous result. Very encouraging. Goals will come.

Was hoping to get tickets for my wifes christmas. Waitlisted - didn't get an email until 4pm on Saturday. Had a couple of friends who received a code and they couldn't get tickets either. Ludicrous that people can buy for more than 1 night!

Is it just me that thinks Harry Winks is an utterly useless footballer? The few times I've seen him he seems out of place and that's usually in a league cup tie against a lower league side.

Keeper signs on loan from St Johnstone. Craig Hepburn. Seems to have been on loan for Luncarty last season where he won their young player of the year award.

Think it was all part of the deal to say yes to the B teams. Top work from the board.

Seeing the title of this thread made me think the movie Titanic. Not that one. The animated sequel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_the_Titanic Featuring animals. It corrects a few wrongs about the Titanic voyage: The Titanic sank because an octopus called Tentacles was tricked into an iceberg throwing contest by a group of sharks A mouse managed to keep the telegraph wires active by attaching them to his moustache after the split A guilt ridden Tentacles managed to hold the ship together and give people enough time to get onto lifeboats and help prevent anybody from dying. Tentacles went down with the ship and is seen at the bottom of the ocean deceased. Tentacles magically reappears at the end having survived Well worth watching the Nostaglia Critics review of this. There's 2 other animated Titanic movies but this is my favourite. The entire film is also on Youtube if you have nothing better to do for 90 minutes.

1 down...

So am I right in thinking this is the current squad: GK Danny Farrell DF Jack Duncan (CB) Gregor Jordan (?) Jack Tait (LB) Scott Walker (RB) MF Lucas Berry Andy Black Zac Butterworth Ciaren Chalmers Jamie Docherty Aiden McLaughlin Robbie McNab Callum Murray FW Josh Jack Ewan Macpherson Scott Sinclair Kevin Smith Might be missing some names but we look very light at the back.

God knows. Up to the SPFL and nothing to do with Cowdenbeath. I'm as surprised as anybody that we were invited but I do not believe for 1 second that our board would change their vote based on entry to the League Cup. The club were as surprised as anybody when they got the phone call offering a place and have had to cancel friendlies for the matches. Doesn't strike me as a club who were expecting to be in the draw.... OR MAYBE THAT'S JUST ALL PART OF THE COVER UP?

It is complete horse shit. Tin foil nonsense at its best.
