  1. I thought that O'Ware and Forster were superb last night. Looks like Martin could resolve the right back issue, just need a left back now. Good to see a fit and healthy Austin back on the pitch, he makes a big difference to the team. With Cardle and Tidser back in the side and a new left back in place, that would then give a strong starting eleven.

    Enjoy next season!

    You too. Being selfish I'm glad that there's a Fife team in the Lowland League as it's a league I generally like watching, so I'll be at Cental Park quite often next season. Who knows, it may be Cowdenbeath's only season in the league.

    We just have to get on with it!

    Some away days will be better than others.

    Berwick will be the most popular.

    I suppose the main thing is you only play once home and away so things are less repetitive.

    I watched Kelty a fair bit last season and I must admit playing teams 4 times did become boring after a point. I've always watched leagues whereby the teams play each other only twice, and it does make a big difference.

    Sure that Cowdenbeath fans will enjoy the Lowland League next season.

    It is a good league, and having a Fife team in it next season means that I can see more matches than I could in recent seasons, although Cowden fans may not agree with me!

    Even Keltys ground is poor in parts, if you are in the covered terracing at the high Street end you can't see a fair bit of the pitch due to the dugouts, thick steel beams and covered sides with window cutouts. The other 3 sides are fine though.

    In the new stand at our ground if you are near the back towards the high st you have an unobstructed view.

    The main issue at the back of the terracing is stupid flags blocking the view, the floodlights don't really affect it much.

    Let's face it, a lot of grounds have their features.

    It has improved a lot in recent years, with more to come soon.

    I’ve been to Bonnyrigg’s ground.  Don’t think they’re in a position to have a go at anyone about this.

    As a Kelty fan I have come across Bonnyrigg fans on several occasions, and they definitely don't have much in the way of class about them, so I'm not surprised about the derisory content of their posts. Sad to see Cowden go down, just hope that they can get back up in the not too distant future.

    He’s been playing away braw last few weeks, brilliant attitude and wish him all the best , can you get two promotion medals in the same season 😂?? 
    Leaves us a wee bit short in the old CH position though , Jordan must be back to some sort of fitness ? McNab can play there or maybe Finlayson ?? 

    Ross Philp could probably do a job there, wherever he plays, he plays well.

    I don't think Kelty were all that impressive last night, I have to say. Sure, they had plenty of the ball but beyond shipping it out wide & launching it into the box to Austin (who was largely anonymous), what were they achieving?

    Lad on loan from St. Johnstone did well when he came on. As Grant mentioned, the passage of play with him winning the ball back & then winning the penalty was very impressive. He definitely brought drive & impetus to the Kelty attack, which vindicates the decision to take Cardle off (no matter how pissed off he was with that at the time).

    If Cowdenbeath had hung on for a point last night, I think they'd have been worth it. They were incredibly disciplined in the first half, with Barr and Thomson playing very well to control the defence & midfield respectively. Whilst Cowden never ever looked a constant threat, I'm not sure Kelty had all that much going on in front of goal either.

    It's  not easy at any level to break down a team defending in large numbers. I thought that Kelty did well under the circumstances and they definitely deserved to win. The game was strikingly similar to the 1-0 game at Cowdenbeath earlier in the season, with a late goal deciding the outcome. I hope that Cowden stay up as the three games so far have been good, and the attendances have been excellent. Even if they finished bottom. I think they will be too good for whoever wins the play-offs.

    Nice to see Kelty getting their medicine against a team with a similar wage budget.

    I've thoroughly enjoyed Kelty's run in the cup this season, even though it ended in a sizeable defeat yesterday. There's been some terrific performances against some good teams in front of big crowds making for an excellent atmosphere.  Back to the main competition next week though, with another big match to look forward too.
