What’s your Beath? Part 16: Black’s Seven

Good day to you. We’re back for another shot, another season, another desperate attempt to claw our way into Europe’s elite. That’s right, I don’t even harbour ambitions of winning the Scottish Premier Division, just simply finishing above one of Rangers or Celtic will do me. Rangers won the Champions League though, so does that open an opportunity for a back door entrance to the pot of gold that is Wednesday night football?

What’s your Beath? Part 15: The Chase

Hello! It’s the end of the season here in Cowdenbeath and we’re in the unfamiliar position of being able to see the Old Firm disappearing over the hill rather than our usual situation of wondering just how far down the other side of the hill they might be. It’s a long analogy but you get my point. We also have a European quarter final to look forward to. Cowdenfun for all.

Still, we are the leagues top scorers and we’re not here to mess about. Except in the Old Firm games…

What’s your Beath? Part 11: Weah we go

When you start a new post on WordPress it rather optimistically asks “Do you have a favourite place you have visited?” which I guess is meant to act as a way of clearing writers block. My question would be, why are you starting a WordPress post if you have no thoughts on what to write? Anyway, it took care of my intro so who am I to argue? I’ve never been to Cowdenbeath but I am sure it would be in my top 50 places I have visited. In the world of CM9798, it’s September 2001 and we’re 3rd in the Scottish Premier Division. Sounds good but we finished 3rd last season and we are nowhere near the Old Firm. The early signs are that we are playing for third again…
