wulliemc Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 It was a piss take. Let’s wait while some guy ties his boots that should have been tied already so they can have a huddle. he must have had the longest laces in Britain it took so long to tie them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowdenleith Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) I thought this thread was something like 174 pages earlier today and suddenly it’s 169, was wondering what is going on. As far as I can see looks like all the posts from @monthecoo have gone, don’t know if he has deleted his account and all the posts disappeared. That’s really sad if the case, he is clearly a passionate and loyal fan, he does shoot from the hip and more outspoken than probably anyone else here, even if I don’t agree with all he said.

Only coo in the village Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) 15 hours ago, Aberdeen Cowden said: Good post. Can't believe that some fans are predicting doomsday again. Cowden were up against a better team with better players. Thinking back to our game against Dalbeatie at the start of the season, we were awful and almost lost that game. That was a big shock and the following games weren't much better. The club are trying to rebuild a team and there aren't many players (or money) available. We've had some good years but now it's our turn to eat humble pie. Plenty other teams are struggling in higher leagues Cove,Kelty, Arbroath (who almost got up to the big league last season) and even Bonnyrigg. We've had awful seasons in the past and recovered. If the pyramid had been introduced earlier goodness knows if we'd even have a club now. Not everything is the managers fault, Cowden will recover from this. I’d be heartbroken if Cowden did die but you have to take a realistic look at things. Cowden had a parachute payment at the end of last season but that reduces next season and then there is nothing. The club play a significant rent for playing at Central Park and have to pay for the upkeep of the stadium plus costs. The fan base has always been poor and is reducing all of the time due to the poor performances on the pitch. Not sure where new revenue streams can be generated from. I’d imagine that the current manager is on a decent salary as he has delusions of grandeur concerning his career path. It’s a business at the end of the day and the balance sheet can’t be looking good, especially in the current economic climate. I’m sorry to sound so negative and I still hope that somehow things can turn around. It is a pyramid system and Cowden are way down the pyramid, grubbing about the bottom of the LL. Not everything is the managers fault but the buck tends to stop with the management in all levels of football. He isn’t my cup of tea and few of our managers have been for quite a while. I will make an effort to see some more games as it’s very unfair to be critical of what you aren’t actually seeing. Unfortunately the live streams have had to stop and I used to pay to watch them as my health hasn’t been great in recent years. My utmost respect goes to the people who run the club and it always has. Helicopter dreams once came true so who knows what the future holds.

Always the same. Since I was young and probably before that Cowdenbeath is full of folk who like to moan about things. Most negative place on the planet. I’m not bothered about Saturday’s result as I never expected us to win. More bothered about this Saturday against Gala.

Not got time to make a long post just now as working but come on folks, let’s stick this out together. 6 o’clock signing announcement, good to see the club are still trying to improve at this point of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELLY 1 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Just a post to say we will sign another lad tonight more a signing for next season but opportunity came to get him in now. I know people will ask about how many players have we signed etc however all I would say is this will be our 32nd player this season which clearly is a lot and not to be unexpected due to how we had to start the season. I do recall in championship days I'm sure we had 37 in one season. We will have 21 signed players after tonight which for next season will be too many and the plan and structure will be to go with a squad of 18 maybe 19. Just wanted to put this out there b4 any lads question what is going on. Also this signing won't cost the club any money. I hope posters who have left continue to back the club with their support in whatever shape or form they can. I cannot stress how vital genuinely vital it is to get every supporter supporting this club in any way they can. Less support means tougher times ahead that would be the same for any football club. Poor result Saturday clearly and I personally thought first half we did very well albeit got caught out with their 2 goals we should have scored minimum once in that first half and once the 2nd half went 3 nil and a man down it was a case of ensuring not getting a heavy defeat against the best team and players in the league.

Glad you are seeing the sunny side of life for a change Pot kettle?I certainly was at the start of the season. I even stopped going for a few games. But I had been going to games and couldn't believe what I was seeing. If I lived locally though I wouldn't have missed any games. Saturdays just weren't the same. I watched a few Aberdeen games and what was on offer there was just as depressing and that was from well paid players. So now I'll keep watching and have a moan but only now and again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon the cowden We were always going to go through a lot of players after starting with none. Re Saturday I thought we started off alright, two poor goals to lose and a real downer losing one on the stroke of half time. The young Celtic side are a good side the best of the B teams for me no disgrace in losing to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkybeath Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 We are all being a bit sensitive. People have a right to post an opinion. The past few seasons have been one disaster after another but having a go at each other is not helpful. People within the club like all organisations have/will have made mistakes but have the interest of the club at heart and work hard. Hopefully over the next few years we can recover and move forward. The improvement in results and reported performances is reassuring but I still feel we have a long way to go. It is difficult for me to comment and offer much of an opinion, as not currently watching the games. The results and depressing atmosphere of lowland league games are hard to take at times but this will not keep me away. Unfortunately my personal views of manager is stopping me from attending at present. Hopefully we all get a boost soon, a few start to return and the team wins a few more games. Lots going on across Cowden in the Community, which is all good for the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
