Do you believe that Donald Findlay is an upstanding gentleman? The point you are making about Donald Findlay QC is also valid about your club as you and your fellow fans laud an individual who sexually assaulted and raped a vulnerable young woman and another player who thinks it is acceptable to racially abuse an opponent. Are Clyde morally superior to Cowden because the individual who is our Chairman has been guilty of sectarianism and is not simply a paid employee? Who fucking cares anyway !!!! I really don't see why it's ok to slag Cowden when we were in trouble and not for others to slag Berwick when they are going through a rocky phase.

CowdenPhil Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Nice to see Johnny Harvey branching out into written humour with the club statement and not just sticking to the stand up routines in his post match interviews 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 The best post match Berwick interview was after we won 1-0 down there with a last minute penalty. Robbie horn couldn’t get a word in for that Eric tait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergie1 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I’m sorry but friendly or not getting beat 6-2 from Spartans who fielded a lot of youngsters and we had our strongest 11 out is just simply not good enough. Especially after the humping at QP, you would have thought there would have been a bit of a reaction, as I say regardless of it being a friendly. We have simply hit a rapid decline since the departure of Robbie. There is quite clearly unrest amongst the changing room as that just would not be accepted after what happened at QP in a changing room where everyone was in it together fighting for 1 and other. Because the position we are in that’s what it is going to come down to now. Forget pretty football it’s about rolling the sleeves up and being counted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some very good lads in the Cowden support, Vince Sinclair, big Scottie and Wee Jimmy that sells the half-time draw. Was rooting for you in both playoffs and happy you’re still a league club. It’s in our hands to also make sure we retain our league status. Still love the Cowden away day and that is something that would certainly be missed. If it’s going to be between ANY of the SPL2 teams and Cove, give me the SPL2 team every time. All of the Berwick fans I’ve met at games have seemed decent. Do the keyboard warriors even follow the team? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are Cove and different to Elgin (granted Elgin’s ground is class) or Peterhead? ‘Lego ground’ is also very harsh on all the ex junior sides that are on the march up the pyramid.

These clubs were voted in by member clubs after the SFA at that time decided to increase the size of the leagues. What happens now is that some clubs can be bankrolled by individuals to gain league status despite very poor support and usually a sympathetic council funded plastic ground. if these clubs want to progress then that’s fine but it should be a level playing field and they should be paying the same costs as spfl clubs re minimum wage, stewards, first aid, doctors and much more.

Sure, it could do with being smartened up, but only a handful of the teams below league 2 have reasonable grounds with the exception of the Highland League.

Yeah because no club has been bankrolled in the SPFL. If you want it to be a level playing field then Cowdenbeath would have to lose a significant portion of the league & cup money they receive every season. The pyramid being introduced was long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those in the dark: Edusport- Galabank Stirling Uni- Forthbank Spartans- Ainslie Park Cumbernauld Colts- Broadwood The Shire- Falkirk Stadium The other one is Gretna 2008 who play at Raydale. Last time I was there the modern stand with the green seats behind one of the goals was looking a bit tatty although could be spruced up. I quite like Berwick and I quite like Albion Rovers and I actually quite liked Shire... (hypocrite!) There are other clubs I wouldn't be sorry to see the back of, and not just D2 clubs. btw- I'm so old I've actually stood on the condemned terrace at Cliftonhill. It was only half condemned back then!

Yeah, four ground sharing, which may not be feasible if all were in the league. They don't actually have a ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
