It is not a mickey mouse cup, try telling that to all the past players that have lifted the senior cup with City, for me it's still the one to win and seeing at though City are record holders of it i think the city management see it the same.
no problem with us having to play smaller sides, it's just the ofa should use officials who can actually take control of a game, not a brainless prat like Coggins.

: Here Here! What a load of nonsense! Do you
: know how big time you make yourself and City
: sound!!!??? Whenever you play lower division
: teams in whatever competition they are
: always more up for it as they are testing
: themselves against superior opposition!
: There will be a few rash/dirty challenges
: but this can happen against a same league
: side it's just the fact they are in alot
: lower division that it gets highlighted
: more!!!!!! I agree that it would make the
: competition stronger if all teams entered
: from the start or the bigger teams to come
: in a few rounds earlier at least!! It's a
: good competition which players,managers etc
: do enjoy and it's always nice to have local
: bragging rights! It's a shame alot of people
: are slagging the competition off! If you
: don't like it don't go and watch the

: What a total nonsense, its a great
: competition
: and ALL teams should be in from the very
: first round. That way it would create far
: more interest and make the winning of it all
: the more memorable.Players from
: "supposed" lesser sides have
: kicked lumps out of senior clubs in all
: county competitions nationwide since god was
: a lad. I can remember Witney winning it one
: year and they had to play Quarry Nomads in
: the quarter final on the rec. Trust me mate
: it dont get tougher than that.
