onecowden Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 FROM THE COURIER Gary Bollan hit out at Warriors defender for keeper challenge. Cowdenbeath manager Gary Bollan has slammed Stenhousemuir defender David Marsh for the “cowardly” challenge on goalkeeper Kevin Dabrowski that left the on-loan Hibs youngster with a fractured cheekbone. Bollan said: “Kevin is going for more tests, but we already know that he has fractured a cheekbone from a challenge that did not need to be made. “We were 3-0 up and in the last couple of minutes Kevin came out for a high ball that was his all the way “However, he was hit with a cowardly and unnecessary challenge that will see him miss out for a few weeks now. “Kevin is only a young professional and he was hit by an experienced player who would have known that he was committing a foul. “The fact that David is a former Cowdenbeath player makes it all the more disappointing. “Hibs have been great about it and will support Kevin fully as he recovers, however they share our frustration at the unnecessary nature of the injury.” So sad to see this. Kev has been outstanding this season. Hopefully he can recover quickly. I haven’t seen the challenge so I can’t comment on it. Disappointing for Kevin and us as we were on a good run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly there are too many of these carthorses in our game. Won’t bother Stenny though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierkegaard Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 On 15/09/2019 at 15:21, Blue Oktober said: A lot of good points CLB and suggestions appreciated. I completely agree involving Kids & Community are key aspects as well as wider engagement. Some initiatives already off the ground with more too come I guess one of the biggest challenges as well as the availability of funds is the availability of people to support initiatives with the boar members pretty stretched. I will try and outline some of what's happening and I guess some of what the club would like to do too by easy of an update : Community work is underway on a Community Trust with the hugely successful 5K run being one of the first big initiatives . There been a huge amount of time spent on this and a complex process around Trust Agreements partnership consents etc. but highly advanced stage. Schools Alex Haddow doing a great job working with all the local schools to get them involved and attending as well arranging mascots. Our community coach Dean Ewing is also in the local schools running sessions too. The Club opened the Andy Mathew Lounge in the stand with the bar now open for the first time in 10 years available to fans pre match & post match with players in post match giving fans the chance meet building closer bonds. The lounge is available for Hospitality & for match sponsors etc too. Club has created a new Commercial package covering player sponsorship, match & ball sponsorship and advertising. The club has tried to break all the packages down and make them flexible to try & make more accessible to people so for example if someone can't afford to the full player sponsorship they have options starting at boot sponsorship. Also for the first time which has moved to be very popular opportunity to sponsor a step.Details on the club website clicking on the Commercial tab available here. The club lottery is now available fully on line including a mobile app you can play here. Blue Brazil TV has been ressurected to share highlights , post match interviews & player interviews as well as behind the goals coverage, still more to develop here but the more subscribers the more effective it is you can subscribe free here. New merchandise such as the popular Cowdenbeath. There are a number of other areas being worked on one of which coming soon free public access fast broadband across all of Central Park. I hope this gives an isight on some of what's ended and what's being worked on suggestions always welcomed too with fans already contributing some great suggestions. Financing a football club is not easy in this day and age & boards have a free budgets based on projected forecasts so in other words the board has to agree what they think is a realistic and achievable figure to give the manager a playing budget to recruit the kind of players that fans want see & hopefully in turn brings some success, none of these aspects hover are guaranteed. though. So in practical terms it means the board has to set targets across all income opportunities and push these to deliver the budget if they fail then there's a shortfall that some one has to cover. If fans are able to spread the word on sponsorship, hospitality etc that would go a huge way, as would using the lounge getting some atmosphere with fans & players etc. Also getting friends & family to try the lottery we are getting players now in the USA & Australia which is great. This is not a post to say how great the board are or have a moan complaint people are not doing enough it s intended to give some insights around progress & challenges. The club has some fantastic loyal and generous fans whom without there would be no club. Money is tight for every one & I know there are some already giving probably more than they can, that is why spreading the word on some of the opportunities available far & wide hips financially and also spreads the burden too. Mon the coo Good stuff, Alan. Many thanks. It's also good to see how our on-line presence has improved so much in recent times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden316 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Another great result on Saturday. Really good atmosphere around the club which obviously the results contribute to this but the efforts by management/board/volunteers behind the scenes have to be applauded and cannot go unrecognised as they too will also have made a valid contribution to the positive atmosphere and performances of the club Dissapointing to read about the injury to our goal keeper and the events leading to the injury. A great keeper with a very bright future in the game and seems to love his football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drifter Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Really looking forward to my first trip of the season on Saturday, wearing my recently-arrived new shirt and hoping the size of Hampden's pitch can be fully utilised by Cowden's new style of Samba-like football. Though if I was to have a guess on the result, I'll go for a score draw. Hope to see a few of you there Mon the Coos! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
