cowdenbeath Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I can't think of many others at all to be played on a Sunday. So we've got:- Cowdenbeath (Fairbairn) 1 - 2 Airdrie (Di Giacomo x2) - Challenge Cup Cowdenbeath (Toorie) 1 - 0 Elgin City - Division 3 Cowdenbeath 0 - 1 Partick Thistle (Doolan?) - Challenge Cup Brechin City 0 - 3 Cowdenbeath (Mbu, Wardlaw x2) - Promotion Play Off Final Dunfermline Athletic 0 - 3 Cowdenbeath (Hemmings, O'Brien, Stewart) - Promotion Play Off Final East Stirlingshire (Kelly) 1-2 Cowdenbeath (McKenzie, Adamson) - Challenge Cup QF Stranraer (Moore) 1 - 6 Cowdenbeath (Clarke x 5, Scullion) - Division 2 Back in season 77/78 we drew 1-1 with Partick Thistle in a Scottish Cup tie (they equalised in injury time) after playing Stenny in the league the day before. Both games were away from home. Imagine doing that now! Think we also played Ayr in 1974 in a Scottish Cup game in our first ever official Sunday game and got pumped 5-0. I can also remember us losing 1-0 to Cardiff City in a PSL in 1980 at Central Park. There will be quite a few Sunday friendly games when we went away on weekend tours.

PELE Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Happy St Patrick's Day... Pat Clarke produced a five-star performance to capitalise on some calamitous Stranraer defending. Clarke got the first of his five goals after 13 seconds with a low shot, his second a minute later and completed his hat-trick inside 10 minutes. Pat Scullion added a fourth when he rifled a shot past Black in the 16th minute. Stranraer replied with a Michael Moore goal in 31 minutes. But it was Clarke's day and he added two second half goals. I remember it well. The weather was not so good at the time, but as we headed to Stranraer it got sunnier and warmer the closer we got. It was bordering on summer weather when we got there.I also remember going down to Berwick and pounding them 6-1 in April 87 and there were hardly any Cowden fans there (wasn't on a Sunday though).

Cowden316 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Former Newcastle Utd striker Michael Chopra has signed for Alloa. Looks like they are pulling out all the stops to stay up. If we had the resources Chopra would be a better punt than Nish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Indian season ended in December so he hasn't played since then and he was at Port Vale the other day on trial and they didn't take up the option of signing him.

I missed that I came home that day not feeling too good and decided not to go I was laid low for the next week with the worst bout of flu I've ever had in my life. Edited to add it's spelt McLaughlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Nish isn't very good but there's nothing to say Chopra will be. He will be in £1k a week plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pie lady was trying to start fights with the fans the following game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember following the score I also missed the following 2 games that week when we lost 2-1 at home to Berwick then the following Tuesday when the QP boy scored from a kick off after we had lost a goal.

Despite our low points tally and woeful goal difference, we have had a few chances to move clear from the bottom two and we have blown it. Amazingly, we will have another chance by beating them and Livi, but I don't see anything to suggest we will beat the three of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat Dumbo at home and a point at Raith.Home game against Livi straight after that but winning two of those would mean scoring at least two. I'm not holding my breath.7 points from those three games would probably see us safe though. Alloa would need to win 3 games and the only play us once. I think we'll struggle to win another game this season with the chronic lack of chances we've created in the last few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Agreed. If Alloa lose tonight they have 7 games left whereas we have 9. Every point is massive. We need to be 4 points (at least) above them going into the last 2 games. I wouldn't fancy us in a final game showdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PELE Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 JN needs to change it. Take risks. Put 3 upfront or something, anything! Put Toshney or Wedderburn upfront, because it clearly isn't working the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
