The Minertaur

and can you confirm what the point of that would be? Cowdenbeath are now going to be getting late night phone calls with cryptic codes. "VT 4 B 2MZ"

Our secret is out. Cowdenbeath FC are the illuminati of Scottish football.

Just seen that you signed Keiran Gibbons. One of the most useless players I've seen at Central Park. Will be stunned if he's good enough for this level. Good luck!

A defender! Ok now I feel optimistic...

Another signing at 7pm. Hopefully a defender

Shite draw. Uni of Stirling got lucky.

Probably one of the teams who finished above us. Uni of Stirling mainly.

Here we go

I've heard that with West Ham winning the Conference League that the English League Cup first round has had to make some changes. Sure Cowden Cowboy is waiting by the phone for the call inviting us to fill in.

Tomorrow at 1pm.

All I can see online re participants....

Nah us at home to Cove Rangers. Sky will be racing to Central Park.

Aye but those seasons the Scottish Football giant that is Cowdenbeath FC were already in the draw. Really not hard to follow.

I think all Cowden fans will agree with you.

Those who are utter morons you mean?

Surely they'd say if that was the reason? Also I think we had a few red cards so would be surprised if we were the best in the league. I'd say it's because we've got the best programme in the Lowland/Highland League.

Very valid point. F**k knows then.

I presume it's because we're the last team to be relegated who weren't already in the draw? Very unusual way of deciding it. Really should be based on sporting merit but I'm sure nobody at Cowden will be complaining about this.

Just a shame the Conference League vote didn't go ahead as I'm sure we'd have been given a couple of byes in the Scottish Cup.

It's what happens when you are one of the few brave clubs to vote to allow B Teams into the Division....

Must be the team with the biggest support then.

https://spfl.co.uk/news/202324-viaplay-cup-draw-seedings Turns out we're in the League Cup this season after all Presume there's an extra space because of there being 5 teams in Europe?

Brechin won the Highland league so are in. Cowden were invited in as we're big time....
