  1. My favourite Stenny dressing room implosion came not long before the sound of whirling helicopter blades was heard in the land... helicopter_dreams_winners.txt
  2. I thought it would be a grim bottom of the league battle, but it turned out to be a comfortable win for Cowden. First time I'd seen Gavin Morrison, the big lad from Brora who has a big reputation up in the North, where I live. He's very impressive in midfield. Kavanagh also caught the eye. Our stand-in Our stand-n goalie was also very impressive.. We looked solid at the back, with Mango and Jamie Todd outstanding. We've made a rocky start to the season .Onwards and upwards
  3. Hi Al what I like about Mr Nelson is that he doesn't babble or tell us about what we've just seen on the screen. For people like me who live far away, it's great to watch home games without having to travel forever in baltic weather. Kudos to the team in charge of the excellent streaming service. The only thing I miss is standing on the terracing surrounded by complete lunatics. with instant one-liners). Speaking of such things, Big Stuart is such a miss, isn't he? - the best and quickest I've ever heard. It really was an art form. (Mibbe we should have a trophy in Stuart's name for the best terracing wit of the year (With examples, of course).
  4. Great package by Blue Brazil TV, Well done. guys. QP hardly got out of first gear. My MOM - Colin Nelson. I think Nelly has a new career looming...
  5. Broxburn wanted it more. Fought for every ball, backed by a very vocal support. We were outfought and outthought. The decision to play Mango in midfield backfired:: Broxburn were very direct, and pumped balls high in the air, meaning that the ball was passing Mango by, while putting huge pressure on our nervous back line line because our most dominating defender was stranded in midfield For me, Harvey Swan was easily our best player. When he ran at the Broxburn defence, his close control caused them big problems. What a missed opportunity to earn serious cash, with Inverurie up next.
  6. How will I spend the rest of this dark, wet Orkney evening? - Staring at this. Well done to all concerned Scottish League Two Team P GD Pts 1 Cove Rangers 9 16 22 2 Cowdenbeath 9 8 21 3 Edinburgh City 9 5 19 4 Stenhousemuir 9 -3 12 5 Annan Athletic 9 -6 12 6 Elgin 9 0 9 7 Queen's Park 9 -4 9 8 Albion 9 -5 8 9 Brechin 9 -7 7 10 Stirling 9 -4 6
  7. You can take away my freedom, you can take away my money, you can take away my old age pension, you can take away my takeaways - but if you try to take away the terracing I'll put you, your friends and family to the sword in a bloody battle that will be talked about in hushed tones for centuries. Got that, Stevie?
  8. You weren't playing today, were you, Sandy? Great to see Greg Stewart getting great reviews for his performance for Rangers against Aberdeen today, scoring his first goal for Rangers and giving the Aberdeen defence a hard time.
  9. 3-0 Cowden! This Cowden team seems to have a bit of resilience about it. Pleasing.
  10. Good stuff, Alan. Many thanks. It's also good to see how our on-line presence has improved so much in recent times.
  11. Craig, it's no disgrace to be thrashed by the mighty Blue Brazil
  12. After the default gut-wrenching torture in relegation territory, we have a team. Early days for making predictions, but from what I've seen so far there is a balance to this side, stretching from our gigantic keeper all the way through to the strikers. Not only that, the spirit among the players is evident for all to see. Credit to the management team and the board. Now, if only we could persuade the town...
  13. Hard-won victory. Thought our back line was superb - winning so many balls in the air and a lot of second balls. We were a bit shaky to begin with, but the more we settled the more we began to dominate the play. We have an outstanding keeper who gives confidence to the men in front of him. Our new signings from Hearts are already making their mark in a positive way. Smith was outstanding and big Kris never gave their defenders peace. The smiles are back at CP - get the word out - this is a promising side
  14. First half very scrappy, but turned it around in the second half and deserved the win. Renton was outstanding - his work rate was excellent and his goal was class. My first look at the team: Our big keeper was excellent, Barr was commanding and Pyper did well. Good to have Harvey Swan in the team - he gives us a different dimension, he's too good a player to be on the bench. We could still do with a dominant midfielder (like Toorie) to breaks up the play. When Stirling threw everything at us to save the game, we defended robustly. We're not too far away from being a good side By the way - cracking programmes by the boys - packed with information. Super one for the Andy Mattew Lounge - pure class, as ever
  15. Yes. We seem to have more actual footballers in the squad this time around. I was concerned about the keeper situation, since McGurn had been so outstanding, but so far that situation seems to have been addressed very well. The BBC guys said that we matched Hearts in terms of fitness. I hope we can hit the ground running when the league programme kicks off.
  16. Anybody who thinks Sheerin doesn't contribute much should read the quotes by Cove defenders in the Evening Express. Still counting the bruises apparently.
  17. Billy McGann was so wee that the ball boys used to trip over him
  18. Yes, fantastic shot stopper - very agile. Wasn't he eventually replaced by a very youthful Jim McArthur, Cowboy?
  19. Steve, does your dad reckon that he himself could hit the crossbar 8 times out of 10 from a corner? Send on any footage.
  20. I've got a slightly used clerical collar I could sell him if he signs....
  21. Ah, the Great Smokie Pensioner Mystery, when Cowden lost 4-1 at Arbroath! Here's how Helicopter Dreams recorded it for posterity: The turning point of the game comes in 69 minutes when an Arbroath supporter throws the ball in Mark Baxter’s face as the full back waits to take a throw-in. Baxter loses the plot and hurls the ball back at the fan. The referee immediately sends off the Cowden player. Jay Stein makes it 2-0 for Arbroath. Then, with nine minutes remaining, Iain Mauchlen makes a reckless challenge on John McGlashan and is rightly red-carded. This sees almost all the players on the park congregating to “debate” the matter. McGlashan subs himself off and disappears down the tunnel, where there is an altercation. Paul Watson and Steven Cook score further goals against the nine-man Cowden, and Mikko Paatelainen scores his first goal for the club in injury time. On Pie and Bovril, a thread headed “Mark Baxter, you are a fucking disgrace”, starts a furious debate involving a total of 141 postings. These were the days....
