Looking at the other shoot outs I hate those stupid tippy tappy slow run ups.  You lose all momentum and power and you are naturally indecisive about where to hit your penalty until the very last step into the ball.  Most of those boys missed tonight.

The 5th pen for Newcastle was comedy gold.

Great to see so many of those hop, skipity, jump show pony ones missed tonight.

Yes but we made 11 changes too. Apart one or 2 in  from the defence we aren't any weaker really apart from BBD of course which speaks volumes of our young squad

You don't think a team with Pears, Rankin-Costello, Edun, Vale, Buckley et al is any weaker than a team with Trav, Hyam, Gally, Morton, Kaminski etc etc? 

That is surprising.

Yep, you've got to be really good at those to make them work. Think a lot of players believe they're better than they are these days.

Interesting that the next round is 20th/21st December so it’ll be first game back for Prem teams after the World Cup…..not sure if that means they rest players ahead of Boxing Day or would they play them as a warm up if they’ve not played for a while

My first time seeing a Rovers shoot out was the FA Cup at Bramall Lane in 93 which we lost.

Aaarrrghhhhh.....poor Jason Wilcox.....don't remind me 🤣

[bigbrandjohn]

So proud of each of them. 10 penalties and nobody bottles it against Premier League opposition. Class across the squad.

A lot of players I wasn't exactly confident that they would hit the back of the net from 12 yards out. 

But fair play to them all, cracking penalties by the sounds of it. 

Yep, I was about to post after JRC scored that I'd been nervous about most of these takers but they'd all delivered...decided not to post it as I knew I'd jinx it!

The U21s play Celtic at Ewood on the 20th of Dec.

Track record for PLIC this season is they're more than happy to let clubs play them whenever they fancy so should be fine to move

Was at work till 10pm. Can't believe we are through.  Fantastic effort.  Great credit to jdt for another memorable night. Makes up for 5 years of turgid disappointment 

[Mr. E]

LOL football is crazy. I did not think I would see a 10/10 penalty score for Rovers in my time.

[Nuttall is lost]

Pity we are going into an international break after Burnley.  We are on a roll.

The one who had full praise for Rovers?

And she's cute and my type 😇

I wasn't talking about Bianca Westwood for the record! she was really good, I was refering to Sue smith

Dingles (home or away) is my first choice. If not, Liverpool or City. Better to have a local game or a game against a top club that is accessible to supporters than draw Southampton away, for example.

The 2,000+ travelling supporters will be enjoying having made the effort to get down there in a relatively low key fixture! Can't say I was too excited about the game, but it panned out perfectly as a classic cup game.

Onwards and upwards. JDT's blue and white army!

Top reporting by sky just now, called them West Brom and claimed Hirst made it 10-9 

[Armchair supporter supremo]

Tommasson has to have been a huge influence on the calm focused coolness of how all our players took their kicks, it would definitely have been a shitshow of a shoot out if the miserable git mowbray had been on the touchline sucking the life out of everything

[1864roverite]

Great Effort fabulous result against a very good team

Sorry. I don't mind Sue although I can appreciate that her voice can be a bit grating.

Must say I found the SSN coverage of all the events of the evening top class.

Cannot believe that while we were winning a penalty shootout after equalising in the 88th minute at a Premier League team, I was sat looking at spreadsheets in a basement four miles away.

What a bloody result, though!

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

That’s got to be our best result for ages. I didn’t give us a chance with what was effectively our reserve team. Hats off to the guys who took a pen. Fisher especially having missed a key one recently.

Fantastic result going into big game on Sunday.
