Blue Brazil Forever Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 FT East Fife 1-2 Cowdenbeath Thought the ref had an excellent game - let the teams get on with it and was not card happy. Wasn't too impressed with her two assistants however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenConvert Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Ref was ace. Especially when she gave us throw-ins that were't ours and the stand side lino had got them right. A few players looked decent but f**k me it was East Fife. Even Robbo looked reasonable. Jamie was gifted his goal by their CH gifting him the ball back after a shit pass from Jaimie. Hemmings set up Deano's goal. Good hold-up turn and great pass. Deano took it really well and had a good game. EF No 7 looked good till he got subbed and the big fella they brought on gave our defence some problems. Apart from that they were mince and we should really have buried them.

Cowden Cowboy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 It was the AGM of the Fifeshire Football Association this evening. The 2013/14 Fife Cup competition of course has not yet been completed. The only game played thus far saw Cowdenbeath win 2-1 over East Fife at Bayview. The other clubs though are unable to fit in the remaining fixtures this season so it was agreed that Cowdenbeath would be awarded the Fife Cup for 2013/14 by virtue of their win in the only match played. It is though hoped/anticipated that next season's competition can be arranged in a way that will allow the competition to be fully played out.

HibeeJibee Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hold on a moment... Cowdenbeath won the Preliminary Round tie - to get into the Semi-Finals - and that means they've won the Fife Cup ? I suppose congratulations are in order. Well done Cowdenbeath, champions of Fife 2013-14 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden Cowboy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Of course if you look back over the years several times the trophy has been won in unusual circumstances. Lochgelly United though was the one major Fife senior club to never win the trophy albeit they were awarded the trophy one year by the FFA but refused to accept it!

Larbert_Par Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I've always wondered if there'd be an appetite for the Fife Cup to be staged over one weekend in pre-season? I've got a huge programme collection (many from before I was going) and, in a set for a season in the late 80s, there was an issue when EEP hosted the whole tournament. Not sure if supporters would buy into the idea, but could perhaps be a better way of having instances like this and others when it's been a struggle to complete the fixtures, or simply not at all?

HibeeJibee Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 If you could get around the existence of Burntisland... say pay them off to scratch, or all vote together to withdraw them, or get someone to gub them in an earlier eliminator... it'd make a great pre-season tournament, Saturday-Sunday, for the 4 SPFL clubs.

CALDERON Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The league games between the Fife sides have been boring as sin lately (For Rovers fans anyway), god knows why we would want more of them pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 It'd be good in that it wouldn't stay unfinished and drag out. That said, as Calderon has mentioned our derbies have been exceptionally dull recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden Cowboy Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yes I mean this season alone you had the 3-3 draw and the 4-3 win for Rovers - couldn't get duller games than those! As for that 4-4 draw last season why it surely was yawnsville for Raith fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attended the Pars v Rovers game. The semis were both played on the Saturday and the final was on the Sunday. Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 It happened in 1986, 1987 and 1993 at Stark's, 1988 at EEP, and 1992 at Bayview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 I was going by the notes at the foot of the season-by-season pages in John Litster's "Always Next Season". They did a similar thing in the East of Scotland Cup - aka the 'City' Cup - in the mid-1990s. There were a couple of occasions that Whitehill hosted SFs on Saturday, Final & 3rd/4th on Sunday.

As for that 4-4 draw last season why it surely was yawnsville for Raith fans! Plenty of goals but awful games. Most fans are not even excited by a league derby game. The Fife Cup should be scrapped.

Forgot about the Shipyard. That would make it problematic unless another club were invited; would be harsh to exclude them from the tourney.
