The Official Cowdenbeath 2024-25 Season Thread - Scottish Lowland Football League

[cup of tea]

Yes, it is the thread you have all been waiting for. The mighty COO go once again in 2024/2025 and I am going to stick my neck out and say that the COO will walk the league this season and win it by a record margin with a record points haul.

After some consolidation in recent seasons the whispers coming out from the staff, players, manager, executives and fans is one of absolute confidence which is refreshing to see and hear.

Nothing will stop us this season, and I don’t even want to hear about the scum from Kelty Hearts, they mean NOTHING to us.

MON THE COO’

"UP FOR THE CUP!!!!! Tonight sees the first of many cup games for the COO as they face Kilmarnock B at home, in the Scottish Challenge Cup. You can follow tonight’s magic of the cup, on the Sporting Life’s vidi~printer. It’s nights like these…."

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Taken from the Pie and Bovril site... ""Jack denham had his best game and continues to improve under stewardship of Dougie"". I'd like to think our sponsorship has also played a small part."

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Jack started Duke. Solid performance that, let’s not forget Tranent finished 5th last season. RESPECT THE POINT Great opener to the season."

[Iron Duke]

Did Jack Denham play? I’ll be fuming if doesn’t even get picked.

"Jack DENHAM to get the winner, headed goal, last 5 minutes."

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Just to ramp the pressure up on the lad and welcome him to the big boy's playground, whacked a whole 2 quid on the COO. They're not favourites, though (12/5)."

Just seen the sponsorship thing too. Feels just like that moment when the spaceship lands on that mountain in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

[Leonard Hatred]

I'm gonna go up to Central Park and take in a game of association football September or October.

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Had a quick look at the Coo's website, and there we are - on the players/team page, sponsoring a defender. If the oppo score this season I shall have a foot-stamping moment."

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Tempered somewhat by the shock League cup game, that sees Kelly tarts upset Hibees. That’s put a dampener on an otherwise blissful hot summers day."

[WHU(Exeter)]

Edinburgh City taking a fucking pasting. Good to see.

[WHU(Exeter)]

This time next week. Frangelico in fridge Friday.

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Are the Blue Brazil's fixtures out yet? Fancy a random Lady Godiva on them each week just to spark up the weekend. Winnings, naturally to the Gavvy fund."

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Yep, Westhamonline.co.uk will have its name appearing in match day copies of The BLUE BRAZIL. Mission accomplished. ""SO FUN"" as youngsters of today would say."

[Phall Throw]

"Well, did we get cunting sponsorhip or what?"

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Pre~season for the COO began yesterday. While everyone else is getting carried away with the Euros, the club are just putting in the graft for their every day business. It's the time put in now which will see late minute winners away at Civil Service Strollers. Admirable."

[WHU(Exeter)]

"RIP Francoise Hardy. If anyone could convey the lyrics to sum up a Cowdenbeath season, it would be Francoise. Even in her older years. La maison ou j’ai grandie. *raises glass of Frangelico*"

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Mex, all received and thank you."

[Mex Martillo]

"Ok WHU, Hopefully just sent you the 25 notes... if it worked. Sorry it took so long had to find my frigging password and just not good with paypal, but have to say once I got off my bony ares it wasn´t too hard. If you end up out of pocket send me a WHO mail and I´ll split it with you."

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Chris, received, thanks very much."

[matchless]

Not confident with PayPal but think/hope I've managed to send £25. Trust you are not out of pocket. Chris

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Last time I tried, I couldn't find Cowdenbeath to bet on with my Billy Hills account. Will have another look next season though, and will be betting on the COO to win 3~1 and Jack Denham to score. I can see it paying for a holiday. This is the season they push on. We've had enough rollercoaster rides, let's get into the dodgems and smash every other dodgem up."
