  1. Who are Broomhill and are they any good?
  2. Where would you have placed them? Obviously not including ‘in the bin’ as an option to answer this question.
  3. It’s usually decent enough with good commentary as well. There were some issues today but you can get a refund.
  4. Decent enough score and match stats considering full time/ part time, 4 division gulf and short of players.
  5. If Cowden are having to play a different style to avoid a pasting in these league cup games, it’s not really helping apart from fitness exercises. Sooner games against teams they have a chance against come along the better.
  6. Fair play to you heading up to that game. Away midweek with a 100 per cent chance of losing and a large chance of an absolute hiding
  7. They are waiting on Celtic and Sevco telling them.
  8. Kennedy interfering with the goalie was the only thing anyone could see in the replays. He was to the side of the keeper so feel it was a poor decision. He booked Vinny when he tried to get back up and play on for what would probably have been a goal as well. See losing Madden hasn’t helped our luck with the refs so far anyway. Got a lot of bad calls last season. Not sure why the goal on Sunday was chalked off at Peterhead either. Was right in front of us and we were up on the wall so had a great view .
  9. Played 2 part timers, not in a place to judge yet. Everyone feeling the changes will be for the better but give it a few months then let’s see (hopefully!). Things looked sexy at the start of the Glass reign but turned out the euro opponents couldn’t have been up to much. Put it like this, got a lot more excitement at the start of last season. Hopefully the flair is yet to added to the team though.
  10. You haven’t watched the 2 cup games then. So far not really that much better than last year. The 2 foreign attackers rumoured to be coming soon and the 3/4 still to be signed will need a good percentage of them to be quality before Aberdeen challenge for anything notable.
  11. Who cares? Religion should have nothing to do with football.
  12. Leagues not started yet. Unlikely Berwick will be in a position to laugh at others.
  13. Aye I hear you, but you still have to have players who will try certain passes and build moves in a style. Cowden haven’t for too long now.
  14. Watched Aberdeen v Dumbarton last night. Was 2-0 and should have been more but what struck me was how well at times Dumbarton used the ball. L2 team and have some good footballers. Been a while now since seen Cowden played anything like that level of football.
  15. He might be alright. A blend of types of players are required to make a team. I feel it’s a bit early to making judgements on players, a thing which all fitba fans do naturally and pretty quickly. It’s a young team and it’s all just been cobbled together so would like to think there would be a few months before judgements start. some of these boys will improve as they get games and find how they can influence a game. Obviously some will struggle but that’s life.
  16. Fair comment, can’t develop and progress sitting on yer arse.
  17. Maybe be good if the club communicated this on their website/ Facebook / twitter or whatever they use these days.
  18. On Thursday Airdrie were 4/9 which was printing money. checked last night and they were down to 1/6. A short term mistake by the bookies
  19. Went along with my 2 year old daughter. Lasted til half time which is all I expected her to make to be honest. Airdrie were getting stronger as the half wore on and Cowden were compressing more and more around their own goal. Wasn’t as bad as I feared after reading comments through the week. The team will get better when the strikers are available and 1 or 2 more to come in so not all doom and gloom. Got charged £20 at the gate though. Surely young kids are free or a couple of pounds? Bit of a crazy price
  20. What is it that brings you to write these posts about other clubs? I couldn’t tell you much about Berwick at all except their surname is horrendous and they are English. Fingers crossed it’s written into the referendum to remove them from Scottish leagues.
  21. To be fair, I don’t think it was ever in the plan realistically to be fully ready come the league cup groups. Never going to qualify anyway and an entire squad to sign is a big ordeal that takes time.
  22. Too early to press the panic button. Still a long time to go in the transfer window and pre season means nothing except getting fit. If going by budgets then Cowden must surely have 1 of the bigger budgets in the league, so can’t have any complaints there. With the parachute payment, play off final gate and the league cup groups this season this is as good as it gets. Can’t compete this season then it ain’t going to get any easier. Pretty unlikely to get success signing an entire new team of youngsters so as Andy says definitely need a few who have played games in LL or above. Early days yet though.
