mo83 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Cove have one good player, the rest are journeymen. The problem for Berwick is that Cove’s journeymen are better than theirs and their keeper doesn’t inspire much confidence. So you think Berwick should play for a draw??? For goodness sake.So a take it the whole Cowden squad are journeymen then?Megginson gets all the headlines but theirs more to Cove than him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PELE Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 1 hour ago, DA Baracus said: Actually it's 5 goals. 4, without reply, will only get them to extra time and penalties at best. The Liverpool/Barcelona stuff is an irrelevance here, as that was two great teams, in form, who had won loads of goals over the season and who had scored loads of goals over the season. There's only one team in this tie who have won loads of games and scored loads of goals over the season. Also Liverpool played pretty well in the first game and were unfortunate to be 3 nil down. Berwick are fortunate to only be 4 down by all accounts. They absolutely won't do it. I doubt they'll even win the game let alone the tie. I am sure Berwick would be delighted with just the 4 to take it to extra time and penalties. It also doesn't matter how fortunate Berwick are to be only 4 down either. Whilst Berwick may well get pummeled again, they may well be fortunate and everything goes right for them. Plenty of people were saying Liverpool had no chance of turning it around against Barca. Berwick could score early and then get a flukey goal, Cove could get players sent off. Things can quickly change in these type of games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick are not a good team, are not on a winning run and are not scoring loads of goals. It's a nonsense argument. Even if Berwick get fortunate and everything goes for them, there's no chance they're scoring 4 without reply, let alone 5. Even if Berwick get an early goal, they then won't go on and score 3 or 4 more without reply. When have things changed quickly in these sort of games to the extent that a team has come from 4 goals down to win the tie? You're at the wind up, aren't you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The desperate wishcasting from Cowden fans due to their shan 'rivalry' with Cove is utterly tragic here. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edthebaw Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Of course, it might go disastrously wrong for Berwick. However, they can still turn it around. It's 4 goals, not 7 or 8. Liverpool turned over Barcelona and you could say Berwick are no Liverpool, but equally Cove are no Barcelona. They probably aren't going to succeed, but I definitely think they can.

However, Berwick will be doing well to even score in the second leg. Cove will at no stage be even remotely concerned. The tie is finished. If you were at the game you’d know how big a gulf there is between the sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Clearly it's not impossible to overturn a 4-0 goal deficit. It's happened in the history of football... Anyone who saw Saturday's tie can't possibly anticipate it though: we should have crashed by more goals, and we produced a single proper chance. Cove have been scoring goals for months and conceding barely any. We've been conceding goals for fun and have not scored for months. It would take something utterly extraordinary like us banging in an early goal out of nothing and/or winning a penalty, them having a man sent-off, it being 2-0 at HT and their heads going, and so on. To an extent that also requires lightening to strike twice considering events of Cowdenbeath v Cove last season. If we did somehow take the lead they can simply sit on a 3 goal cushion. I just want to witness a professional performance to try to get a result from the game. If we are going out let's do so with dignity. If the current team was a dog it would have been put down.

Things can quickly change in these type of games. Big difference is that Liverpool weren't nearly as bad away to Barcelona as the scoreline suggested, 3-0 was really harsh on them. I was at the Balmoral Stadium on Saturday. Again, the scoreline wasn't a fair reflection of the game, but this time because the difference between the 2 sides was far bigger than 4-0 suggested. It could easily have been 7. Sorry for the Berwick fans, but there is no way I can see them coming back in the tie. Even a Cove sending off in the first 5 seconds wouldn't change that... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden316 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Not pleasant for any SPFL side to be in Berwicks position having experienced the threat of the dreaded trapdoor with Cowdenbeath F.C on two occasions. Feel for anyone connected to Berwick Rangers but not so much for those who found it amusing to mock Cowdenbeath F. C last season with the threat of the lowland League and the clubs very existence. Any club in League Two could unfortunately find themselves in this situation. One bad season is all it could take regardless of the stature of the club in League Two. Best Wishes to those connected to Berwick Rangers and hope you can all work together to help move their club forward regardless if what it looks like currently of being in the Lowland league. Cove Rangers are a decent outfit and they could have easily have beaten us in the first leg if it wasn't from the outstanding performance of David Mcgurn.

tescodave Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I struggle to understand how grown people are talking about the what ifs and can it happen.The tie is dead. Cove will win on Saturday too. There’s not a hope of us triumphing by a single goal never mind by enough to go to penalties. For fucks sake do you really think we’d even win on penalties? Likely be lucky to make the net bulge twice during penalty kicks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty_j Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Can we just have a reality check . We have conceded 23 goals in last 6 games and scored zero we haven’t scored since 12th March.We are not going to score 4 goals in 90 minutes let alone concede none.We are relegated.Please stop with the “they could do it” nonsense. We can’t . We’re shit. We’re down - Saturday is about not being embarrassed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No obsession just find it bizarre how a certain Cowden fan thinks their a one man team and the rest are jobbers. Perhaps influenced by the example of Jimmy Scott. Couldn’t get a game for Cowden and asked away so released then signs for cove and walks into the starting 11. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Blair Yule would probably be one of the top players in slfl2. Pretty sure any smokies around would concur he was up there with Bobby Linn as one of there top performers last season.Got off to a great start anyway but faded a bit and fell in and out the team. I'd happily have him in our squad going into the championship though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
