cowdenbeath0-3

Regarding the big scottish cup game against Kilwinning keep an eye out on the junction bar supporters club facebook tomorrow regarding travel to game

Yeah grounds not the best but it has a smashing social club outside it

Looking forward to Saturday, had a great time last season apart from the result, squad of us down early on the train and making a night of it in Carlisle so hopefully 3pts to then celebrate

It really is beautiful sitting back relaxing watching the berwick circus fall apart, Jelly & Ice cream when you’s go

Great tie, good away day, new ground and a winnable tie on paper.

Away tie to a non fife and non lowland league team, hawick would be my pick

Butterworth was immense today ran both full backs riot, new lad took his goals well but that motm award had butterworths name on it surely, tough frustrating game to watch as we controlled the ball but struggled when it came to that last pass. Job done thought thats the main thing hoping for a nice away day next round

Evening fellow lowland leaguers, hope everyone enjoys their visit to Newburgh on Saturday, my partners dad is the chairman so this is just a message to say good luck. Ground is basic but a nice set up 2 enclosure stands, match day program is good a lot of time and effort goes in to it one of the better ones at that level. Bottles and cans of alcohol are sold in the ground before kick off £2.50 can’t complain too much. Can get windy and cold as right by the water also. I’ll be taking the game in, wee scouting mission before we meet

If mcnab, butterworth, hepburn, doc, josh jack, gregor jordan, walker and dougie all started then yes I would agree, but we field a weak side with jack duncan and jack tait starting centre half. Nothing to worry about

Had a nice conversation with Si ferry and Mick kennedy before they left last night. They were full of praise after watching cowdenbeath said boys were looking very good. Didn’t get a reply thought after asking if he was worried for playing us in a couple of weeks

Wonder if Heppy will be recalled by st johnstone seeing as another goalie is out injured. They have a real keeper crisis currently

Full bus already leaving the junction on Saturday, the buzz around the club is certainly back

A man of kevin smith’s experience should be better that than tonight, he’s really let the rest of the lads down who worked tirelessly. Hats off to the lads done the fans proud. On to Saturday now

Danny farrell has signed for whitburn juniors, a brilliant signing for them hope he does well

Effort was unbelievable tonight from everyone, mcnab absolute bossed the midfield, euans work rate was class he’ll be tired tonight, heppy few great saves bit slow for the pen but made up for it. Less said about the lads penalties sure you’ll find a few balls in the caravan park

2 new players in the squad picture who have yet to be announced. Deals are only short term

No more than 15

Brilliant from the club this evening making all fans feel apart and like one big club, poor attendance though understandable people may be working but I felt disappointed.

Skelly bullied us for the 90mins he won every header and took every ball down. I’d like to see us bring in another left back or start mcdonald there one game as Tait got ran riot. Too many high balls to our smallest player in butterworth. Mcnab solid again and we have a real player in doc he can turn on the style.

No cowden fan should ever want a black and white top

Hope it doesn’t mean danny is on his way out but can understand if he’s been told he’ll be no.2 to hepburn. Lack of defenders is worrying for me, correct me if wrong but we have one left back and one right back?

Really encouraging performance tonight. Night and day to playing them last year pre season. Work rate was amazing tonight high press and pressing in packs forced them back or into a mistake. Never going to be easy when east fife make 5/6 subs at half time fresh fast players that can’t keep themselves onside on to the next one

Yeah Osbourne played last 20mins centre half, dealt with all long balls. I go newburgh every free week we have as my brother in law plays for them. Again a nice basic set up cheap hospitality aswell. The place itself has little to offer and ground is right next to water so gives arbroath vibes when it’s windy

I opted for swifts vs newburgh today, a cracking set up they have once through the gates. Nice little ticket office with merchandise for sale then up a-bit a nice food hut very cheap also. Swifts a tall physical side. Had a squad of 20 bodies so they kept the starting 11 fresh at all times with it being rolling subs. 5-0 victory for them but majority goals were gifts from newburgh.
