cowden boy Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Kenny adamson has taken a player/coaching role at lumphinnians, reckon he could have done a job for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenLoyal Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 No doubt Rumsby will be solid every time he plays against us. He's absolutely dreadful with the ball at his feet. The fact we played Pyper and Bryan Gilfillan who was unable to move quicker than a jog in the Cove game tells its own story.Best of luck to him though - always gave 100%.

I don't care about the rest of senior football, I care about Cowdenbeath. No doubt he was a good player for us but he was betting against the team. He shouldn't be given a second chance.

The Minertaur Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 As much as Dean would probably improve our squad he shouldn't be back. As for Kenny Adamson he couldn't get a game for Kelty last season and has been plagued with injuries for ages now. I'm confident that there are players out there who are better. Whether or not we sign them is another story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELLY Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 No reason we should sign kenny adamson or any other left back really. Harvey Swann is our first choice left back. He is better there than left midfield. He is developing well and will only get better. As for Rumsby something wasnt right with him this season compared to last. His aggressive defending was lacking this season and he seemed off the pace most games he played. Positionally wasnt very good either. Terrible with ball at his feet. His first season he was a real leader and talker. For players coming in just have to wait and see. Centre half and a ball playing centre midfield player box to box similar to jon robertson would be good. 2 strikers are a must. Would be good to hear whom has not been offered contracts and who has.

Muzza81 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Our obsession with former players becomes more prominent the worse we get. Yes these players had good times with us but that was now a long time ago and things have moved on. Bollan will have his own contacts in the game and we need to trust him to recruit properly and bring in his guys. Most importantly we need to back the players he brings in. With players leaving us to sign for other teams an announcement on who has been released and who has been offered terms would be nice. I would imagine these discussions have taken place. Someone also mentioned season tickets being announced, not sure if this has been done yet? Perhaps tie it in with a new signing to try and capitalise on any feel good factor out there.

Aberdeen Cowden Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Bit strange reading that Rumsby has already signed for another club, if true, and nothing on our club website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden Cowboy Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Bit strange reading that Rumsby has already signed for another club, if true, and nothing on our club website. CFC's professional players are under contract to 31 May or 9 June - players are not released nowadays their contract simply expires and then they are free agents.

NELLY Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I think the point about older players is you know what you get and some are within our potenial resource. For example Renton or a Dougie Hill. Both would be good signings. If I could I would bring back Jon Robertson but of course that wont happen as he is in the championship. A fine player who is sorely missed in our midfield. Loads of free agents and as always we wont even have the squad finalised even well into August. More players will be added that last couple of weeks as usual. Strikers are the main problem to find I think for a club like us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big al Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 No harm at all in wishing for all of the ex players mentioned, as they would enhance our current squad so they are good shouts. More importantly some of them may actually care abit about the club, the influence from Gilfillan returning was substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelled up from Annan from every game and from what I understand wasnt even paid apart from travel expenses. Great commitment. I would take the boy Mcord but he will have loads of offers im sure.

Obviously what happened to him in his personal life was awful but Dean was in the wrong. The Club punished him and also offered him help with his supposed gambling addition. He should not play for Cowdenbeath again. He burnt his bridges as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reilly looked like a decent player but is more an impact player than a first team starter so maybe his wages would be better spent elsewhere.

You’re entitled to your opinion just like I am and we obviously disagree! It’s unlikely to happen anyway, so no point in discussing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
