Likes shares appreciated as always 🤝
After a club record low of 15 league goals in 20-21, 28 in the relegation season and 46 – fifth lowest – in the Lowland debut
To be scoring over 3 a game at present is refreshing, especially coupled with victories
CP is an exciting place to go for the first time in four seasons
Nothing better than a last minute winner 💙 poor performance first half but controlled the 2nd (shire equaliser apart) mark of a good team to keep at it and force a winner. Mon the cowden 💙🐄🇧🇷
Massive game tomorrow. To get the players psyched here's a photo of Greg Stewart holding some pars boy down. I assume Nat Wedderburn was off trying to find some white dog shite to make him lick. Mon the Cowden! 💙🐄

A home game in the lowland league cup against Stirling Uni.
First home game in the dugout for new boss Calum Elliot.
Can the boys build on an impressive victory against Berwick and advance onto the next round?
Tell us your predictions 👇 💙🐄
Very excited by this move! Real quality in the centre of Defence now between Jack, Gregor and Craig (until May). With youngsters in Declan Turner waiting to grow into the team and Robbie McNab able to drop in when needed, we are definitely in a good place 💙🐄

Fantastic win! Great to see Jamie back with a goal his 13th of the season. Sadly no change in league standings due to CSS win against Albion Rovers but we are now only 3 points behind the Uni of Stirling in 7th place 💙🐄

The final home game of the season has arrived. Gretna 2008 are the last team to visit Central park in 23/24 and Stevie Crawford's men will be looking for a better result than Saturday past. Will there be smiling faces at the PoTY awards tonight? What are your predictions? 👇🏻💙🐄
Very pleased to announce that we are getting club captain
@RobbieMcNab_
onboard for an episode!
Pencilled in for the 29th so if you have any questions you'd like to level at the captain please send them in 💙🐄
A start to the competitive season! Our last 5 games against today's opponents yielded 2 draws and 2 losses as we lost our league spot.
No reason why that can't change today as our revamped side starts their league cup journey. Mon the Blue Brazil!! 💙🐄

Another week, another away day for Cowdenbeath. Travelling through to Muir house to face CSS. Another tough game for the boys in blue what are your score predictions? 🐄💙👇
A new era as Stevie Crawford takes his new team to Prestonfield to face Linlithgow Rose, currently 4 points ahead in 8th place. Both teams have struggled in 2024 with the Rose winning 11 points to our 10. Can our interim man make a winning start? Tell us your predictions 💙🐄
Fantastic appointment to allow the board to take stock of the situation and to take time to clearly identify a permanent manager. Stevie's sides are often hard to beat and well organised, which will be a big asset for our run in. Best of luck and welcome back to CP💙🐄
𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄

Last season I did the hospitality and had the utter pish ripped out of me by Dick and Pink. So
@CowdenbeathFC
don't do it for glory or your families. Do it for Aaron!!💙🐄
Another game where Cowden battled the elements and managed a tight game.
Both teams struggled in the wind and rain but Matty MacDonald's goal from a keepers mistake seals the 3 PTS. A merry Christmas to all in Scottish football but especially those hardy Cowden followers 💙🐄
CONFERENCE LEAGUE DEFEATED 🧵
Make no mistake, the rejection of the Conference League is a humiliation for its architects.
Scottish football fans have stood together in a way that we haven't for over a decade, and in doing so we showed just how much power fans have. (1/4)

Following the announcement of Josh Blair agreeing terms, we say goodbye to goalkeeper Danny Farrell.
Danny asked us to pass on his thanks to the fans for all their support and wanted them to know he loved his time at the club.
We wish Danny all the very best for the future.

@CllrNormanWork
@OfficialSLFL
I think you make the league far more interesting and accessible without the B teams. Having 2 or 3 teams that can't be promoted or relegated doesn't bring anything to the league as a whole. Where we could have 2 or 3 from the EoSL/WoSL bringing competition and passionate fanbases
