WE can't even concentrate on the league, because we're &*@#ing *%$# in the league as well. Feels like we've got nothing left to play for already. On the plus side, last time I felt that way we had an absolute stormer of an FA Trophy run and got to the semis

We've got the Middlesex Senior Cup to look forward to!! We usually get to the Semis each each year.

Shropshire version is somewhat of an embarassment this year, 3 teams in the competition, one of which had only just been promoted to Midland Football Alliance: Shrewsbury Town FC AFC Telford United Market Drayton Town FCSemi final: AFCTU 5-1 MDTFC Perrow becomes first AFC player to score a hat-trick at New Bucks Head, they get late consolation goal by former Buck Craig Ryan Final: AFCTU 1-1 STFC (Shrews win 3-1 on pens) We grab a deserved equaliser at the New Bucks Head and by Shrews' manager's own words Telford should have won.
Year before was even worse as only 2 teams were up to senior level so we jump straight to: Final:STFC 4-1 AFCTU Any real competition destroyed at the Gay Meadow early on when our keeper was bizarrely sent off by Shropshire most snior ref (also a Shrewsbury fan!) As he was already our number 2 keeper filling in for injured Brockie we had a centre-forward in goal for the whole thing.
Year before was slightly better with four teams: Shrewsbury Town AFC Telford United Ludlow Town Bridgnorth TownWe beat Ludlow 3-1 at the Coors Stadium while the Shrews beat Bridnorth. We then lost 5-1 in the final at the Gay Meadow. A night to forget methinks .
It is getting a bit silly seeing as it's supposed to be one of the oldest competitions in the world. Nothing can be done though as few teams other than Shrewsbury & Telford hold onto senior status for long. We have in the past invited the likes of Wolvesto take part but that means as a consequence the most prestigous cup in Shropshire is no longer in Shropshire for the duration of a year. ....I really can ramble on about anything.

Now that you mention it it is kinda tinpot, that thought will help me get through it next year, thanks.

See you Worcesterites, I told you to watch out for Romulus! Must find out when the replay is, they play at Sutton Coldfield's ground which is one of the easier grounds for me to get to. Sorry, Coops, only just seen this, did you go to the replay?

It's absurdly tinpot, my dear boy. Love it! Love the way they steadfastly refuse to mix and match with any other county.
Long live tinpoticity.
