www.johnstonespainttrophy.com/news/2010-2011/you-say-good-bye-we-say-hello/Yes folks!, cheer as we draw a local side, swoon as radio sheff builds it up to be a game of importance, sigh as it obviously isn`t, puzzle as you think what`s the bloody compettion called again?, fume as we put out half a reserve team & lose 5-1 at burton albion/hartlepool/ etc. The st johnstones finger painting by numbers tumbler competition for the shite of English league clubs .... no thanks

Bit of a dilemma in`t it!
i remember the zenith data bollocks trophy, complete waste of time and yet, was it the confidence of a remarkable 7-2 trouncing of the then formidable oldham back in 1990 that gave us the confidence to go on a run of almost championship winning brilliance (from last by far to mid table safety in one giant leap).
Good competition to try out borderline squad players i guess. but what a forgettable trophy, the last few winners just roll of the tongue don`t they, ahem.

Its competitions like this that usually give us our most embarrasing moments  Stockport sticking 5 past us in the League Cup, Arsenal reserves battering out first team 6 nil, Blackpool away 3 nowt - the list is endless! In fact, up until we got to the semi final of the b*****d, we religeously went out in the first 3 rounds of it! |

Paints Trophy? Sounds like something Sunday School 3rd teams might play for. What's the prize? Two gallons of white paint to cover the graffiti on the club wall?

No Bladenz, it is a set of watercolours, complete with a couple of small brushes, all slotting neatly into a moulded plastic tray with "for children aged 3+" on the box.
Maybe Fred might want that though.

Gi` over Mutts, i`m more than happy wi` that set of crayons tha sent me, I finally got the child proof wrapping off this week, neighbours chainsaw came in very handy.
We won`t be laughin` at this cup competition when the lads are parading it in an open top bus around the town centre!,... though a better fit for such a prestigious trophy would be an open roofed morris traveller.
