Just to clarify a couple things so no confusion. Jack ruddy is injured at present hence he hasn't been available last few games. We can't sign another gk as it's after 31st March. Davo was ill today but hopefully back next week. Sam young was allowed to play for dunfermline for his youth team for a final and big game but again should be back next Saturday. Dean ritchie unfortunately got injured at training and likely out for 4 weeks approx. Well done to the new gaffer today and to the boys who thoroughly deserved their victory and worked their nuts off. Lot of quality on the ball and real fantastic desire and intensity. Mon the cowden.

New chapter and fresh start for the club. Colin Jack has been exceptional not only in his assistant manager role but then stepping up to take the team. Calum has an excellent record and is in my opinion going to change the fortunes of the club moving forward. Hope the fans can continue to back the new manager and ultimately the club. Mon the cowden.

Pretty sure the club has always in the past voted against or abstained. The money albeit still small in my opinion will be needed for the upcoming new season. Hopefully the fixtures fall kindly so we can get good crowds at home against them.

Well done to JB. Their support been phenomenal all year and I'm sure it will continue. Not just JB but support to all fans who have turned out and dug deep to support the club. Especially the fans who travel to away games. Class. All players and staff will be in attendance at JB Saturday after game. Cheers.

Just to clarify the chief scout doesn't bring people in but will scout players we have either asked him too along with the other scouts as part of his team. He will also bring some players to our attention that are showing up well and there is a process in place to fine tune that. Kenny done well setting up his network and his reporting. He has now moved on and the club will also. Kenny goes with our best wishes.

We have 10 players signed on for most of next season. With one more to be announced soon as committed. Sam newman is under contract with Spartans for another season.

Pitch inspection been done and game on.

Chris hasn't left no he is on loan until end of season with rosyth.

Just a post to say we will sign another lad tonight more a signing for next season but opportunity came to get him in now. I know people will ask about how many players have we signed etc however all I would say is this will be our 32nd player this season which clearly is a lot and not to be unexpected due to how we had to start the season. I do recall in championship days I'm sure we had 37 in one season. We will have 21 signed players after tonight which for next season will be too many and the plan and structure will be to go with a squad of 18 maybe 19. Just wanted to put this out there b4 any lads question what is going on. Also this signing won't cost the club any money. I hope posters who have left continue to back the club with their support in whatever shape or form they can. I cannot stress how vital genuinely vital it is to get every supporter supporting this club in any way they can. Less support means tougher times ahead that would be the same for any football club. Poor result Saturday clearly and I personally thought first half we did very well albeit got caught out with their 2 goals we should have scored minimum once in that first half and once the 2nd half went 3 nil and a man down it was a case of ensuring not getting a heavy defeat against the best team and players in the league. Mon the cowden

Very good player. Great signing for stenny. Same goes for reilly.

Fair point neeb.

Firstly berwick the unbeatable is a troll and his points are not informed and are aimed at replys which I have given. Its also personal which I find dis tasteful. I apologise to the core group of fans who perhaps didnt like my reply. Its my intention to come on here only to update key supporters and I find myself having to unfortunately being now likely taking a step back from posting and updating fans. Its difficult to keep fans up to speed unless they wish to attend meetings which I know a hell of a lot of people cannot. 1 1milliion percent can take criticism of certain things but i see posts previously which are simply not true which Is why I would then post to tell the truth. We were not relegated due to people stuck in their ways a FACTOR perhaps and a valid opinion. We were relegated due to not winning enough football games. Directors dont pick football teams or players and gave a budget that should never had a team relegated. A lot of progress is being made on and off the pitch currently and i hope the clubs fans can see that.

Early days but looking at 2 to 3 weeks minimum I reckon. The lads genuinely down about it sadly as he wants so badly to play his part but he will get the chance again. Just needs to take his time and maybe not rush him back and gey him fitter. As you say he looked good when he came on. On his day he could b best midfielder in this league.

Berwick on a good run I see so u "pop" up... bannit.

1. Where does anyone attack? anyone ahhahahahaha. As for the team there is actually only 20 signed which is lower than 6 months ago. Also you are an absolute bell end.

Thanks to all the fans who came to game to brave rank weather again. Its vital the club have your continued support. The players appreciate it too. Cheers.

Well done to the TEAM winning and continuing what has been an upturn in performances and results. Mention to young 17 year old sam young who did well even though only has 1 training session with the players.

Wow just wow.

The club appealed based on comments by the referee at the time and due to video evidence once appealing the ref changed his thoughts to be the actual foul was the reason why he was sent off. Anyhow it is what it is we move on but someone like davo is hugely important for the starting x1. He will be missing for 2 games and will be able to be selected against celtic b.

Hopefully people can turn out tomorrow for what is a big game to get back to winning ways hopefully after a decent performance last Saturday. There should be a new loan signing in the squad tomorrow and andy black should be back in the squad after coming through training this week. Squad is healthy in terms of competition now. Davo will miss next 2 games due to suspension. Mon the cowden.

Just watched the game back. Davidson clearly doesn't stamp or slap a player as reported at time. He fouls the player. Yellow card offence then actually comes out the melee. Have to see the report from the ref and see exactly what ref has sent him off for. From there maybe we can appeal but that costs money!!. Shame as if we had a man advantage I'm pretty confident we would have got a positive result. Performance was excellent yesterday with all the boys working hard and there's a great vibe at the club presently. Let's go again next week and get a victory which will be a real challenge as caley braves have some very good players and are on a great run.

Great support today. Boys and staff gutted not to get something out the game. Would love to see similar numbers at caley braves next week.

Maybe we already have?.... Ryan is a top player and is one of the best 16 year old players av seen at this level for years. He plays for their first team and in their squad regularly. Tall quick and athletic with good feet. I believe he will be another player who moves on to bigger things for sure. Hamilton do have another couple of young lads coming through who are very good. Their youth system still producing. Seen big armand recently. Still fondly remembers his time at cowden.

The club has 9 signed players for next season which I would hope we can add too before the end of this season. Recruitment never stops really and the process of improving the squad short medium and long term continues. There is good processes in place now and targets already identified for next season should the budget allow and targets for if the budget is x y or z... Never again should the club be in a position to sign 20 to 22 players with no processes in place. Building relationships with clubs currently for loans for next season and beyond also. Let's hope the team can get 3 points on Saturday and extend the recent positive results and performances.
