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.

Jack DENHAM makes the starting XI

[Mex Martillo]

"Matthew, I was there 90-98. Scary small world. Did you do a few afternoon sessions in the Meadow Park?"

[Mike Oxsaw]

Home to Fairydean today - a team who's name sounds worryingly homophobic in this day and age...

[WHU(Exeter)]

Any kind of win tonight would have put the COO eighth in the table. Slim margins.

[Matthew Holmes]

Mex son I also studied at Sterlin’ uni 93 to 97 Funny small world

[WHU(Exeter)]

"We’ve only lost 33.3% of games this season. Onwards, upwards. MON THE COO"

[Mex Martillo]

How’s our man Denham doing?

[Mike Oxsaw]

"1-1. Away point, not to be sniffed at."

[Mex Martillo]

"Studied and worked at Stirling Uni. Have to say I always called it Stirling Uni, but official name is University of Stirling. Not sure I understand the logics WHUs refusal. I see it’s all level at 1-1, after the Coos took the lead and Stirling equalised."

[WHU(Exeter)]

1~1 at half time and mo further updates. Shame this can't be watched on the vidiprinter

[Mike Oxsaw]

Did my first OU Summer School at the University of Stirling. Nothing to see here. Move along.

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Stirling University* away tonight. Anyone going? *I refuse to call them by their official 'University of Stirling' name, who the fuck do they think they are? Get down The Junction and/or Wee Jimmie's, if they want some proper education"

[WHU(Exeter)]

"Stirling University* away tonight. Anyone going? *I refuse to call them by their official 'University of Stirling' name, who the fuck do they think they are? Get down The Junction and/or Wee Jimmie's, if they want some proper education"

"Yarmolenko scored in Dynamo Kyiv v Rangers. Finished 1-1, first leg of Champions League qualifying."

[Mike Oxsaw]

They don't appear on Paddy Power for Wednesday's game. The whole Lowland League was not available for betting at the weekend. Shame as I'd like to bet a couple of quid on the Blue Brazil just to prove (PROVE) I'm more committed to this endeavour than anyone else...?ü§£...?ü§£...?ü§£

"Civil Service Strollers 2-1 Cowdenbeath A patched up Cowdenbeath side suffered their first defeat of the season at Christie Gillies Park. The visitors had a great chance to go in front in the 20th minute when Matty McDonald's cross was headed back across goal for Robbie McNab but his effort was held by Freddie Owens in the home goal. It was The Strollers who scored the opening goal in the 25th minute with Josh Laing feeding Alieu Faye for the big forward to shoot low into the far corner. Josh Laing then turned goalscorer in the 55th minute to put Gary Jardine's side two up. Matty McDonald pulled a goal back for The Blue Brazil on 73 and Sean Guiney came close to a late equaliser but his header was straight at Owens. Dougie Hill was also red carded in the dugout in the second half. TEAM : Blair, Jordan, Newman, Kerr (Guiney), Denham, McNab, Trialist 1 (Trialist 4), Whyte, Sutherland (Healy), Dunsmore (Trialist 2), McDonald SUBS NOT USED : Hill, Trialist 3, Lynch NEXT UP : We travel through to Forthbank on Wednesday 7th August to take on University of Stirling."

"McNab, Trialist 1 (Trialist 4), Whyte, Sutherland"

One back and still 12 minutes to play!!!>}!!!

One back and still 12 minutes to play!!!>}!!!

[WHU(Exeter)]

Two down now. It’s slipping away. I wonder if the monumental comeback against Kilmarnock B in the cup has sapped energy levels?

[WHU(Exeter)]

Although it’s currently showing as ‘played 47 minutes’ as I type. Somethings amiss there.

[WHU(Exeter)]

"I don’t know Len. I can no longer access the COO’s ‘X’, (Formerly known as Twitter) site. I just type in Cowdenbeath FC and refresh the page every five minutes for the latest score. A guys got to get his kicks."

[Leonard Hatred]

Is Jack playing? MON THE COO

[WHU(Exeter)]

One nil down away at Civil Service Strollers. All still to play for.

[WHU(Exeter)]

4~2 after going 1~2 down. There’s resilience there. Albion Rovers away in the next round.
