Cove Rangers Had 3 Players Sent Off In Injury Time Today

[Disco Deejay]

Cowdenbeath v Cove Rangers Div. 2 Play-Off Game today saw a scuffle on the touchline in injury time, which led to Cove Rangers getting 3 players sent off and no action against any Cowdenbeath players.

Not often a scuffle involving players from both teams is dealt with so one-sided. Obviously a young ref trying to get himself promoted quickly by singling-out players from a team called 'Rangers'.

The cove manager was furious after the game. Basically called the ref a cheat in his interview.

One thing is for certain, it really is a joke when a team gets rewarded for abject failure 2 years in a row by having the chance to keep their league status in a playoff. They should be relegated automatically with second bottom in a 3-way playoff with the winners of the Highland and Lowland league.

Didn't see any of today's action, but, last week Cove missed 4 or 5 sitters and really should have been out of sight.

It really is a sham that both the winners of HfL / LL miss out to persistent failures like Cowdenbeath.

I sometimes wonder if teams like Cove, or any of the Highland League teams, actually want promotion,
They'll become a small fish who now have major costs to factor into their budgets.

Good point.

The two lower leagues should be regionalised.

 

[Peachy Catboy]

Has to be regionalised to help all teams develop.

The travel costs given the options should have North and South Divisions, Feeding in to the top two or three or divisions.

Not all Highland League clubs want to play League football, but Cove certainly do and have the money and facilities to manage it.

That was a hila interview. That Cove manager is an absolute prick. He said something along the lines of “ they cheated us because maybe they don’t like teams from the highlands”

When the feck did the southern side of Aberdeen where Cove come from become the highlands?

It not just highland league clubs. I have friend who is a Livvy fan who thinks although the Livvy board were publicly pleased about win over Dundee Hibs they will be crapping themselves in case they actually do get promoted as there is no way the club can afford to have a competitive side in the Premiership. Also the stadium needs some work especially the undersoil heating at Almondvale which hasn’t been used for years due to the cost factor and it could be a couple of hundred grand to replace it.

Buckie isn’t in the Highlands either, he’s clearly just referring to the Highland League.

I know Auchinleck recently told us they wouldn’t be interested in joining the league but I wonder if a regional set up would their minds.

That's nothing, there's a team in Glasgow who play in the SPL with fans who are convinced they play in Ireland.

 

[eddiemacthedog]

Often go to the Fraserburgh games, Cove are full of greeting faced moaning w*nkers, the manager is one of the worst! They hate playing the broch as well hahah!

The highland fault line runs from Helensburgh to Stonehaven. Everything north of this line,including Aberdeen is in the highlands

Aye ok Carol Kirkwood

Depends if you’re talking geographically or geologically.

I agree, they should have Highland and Lowland leagues to reduce the travel losts.

 

[Northhiglander]

Regionalised lower leagues would make a lot more sense. Imagine Elgin v Annan on a midweek? How realistically would fans manage that? At that level rivalry is local and better served in a regional format. Try to make football affordable for fans and the teams.

She's a bright spark and knows it all.

Well I didn’t know that and probably most don’t know that either. I lived in Aberdeen for 5 years and I don’t recall any locals I met referring to themselves as a highlander.

Or geneologically.

 

[Wolfie]

Or geneologically.

And as this season has, thankfully, finally ended....horologically.

 

[gennaro]

That's a bump and a half
