Coincidence?

Crystal Palace away, I'll never forget it, stuck in that bloody traffic jam. I can still feel the pain now...

Just a word on that annoying swine with the mic, he welcomed the team on to the pitch as Sheffield Wizards and called Bramall Lane one the best stadiums in the world! Now I'm all for a bit of home team biased, but that is stretching it a bit! Has anyone ever heard of them being called the wizards? Wednesday fans call them the pigs and the ground is a corrugated iron mess! On the flip side they played some decent tunes, got the blood pumping.

I was in a pub after the game which had a spattering of United fans in, its very much Wednesday territory in that area. The joviality turned to absolute despair when the Semi-Final draw came out, this woman lost the plot, almost started crying and swiftly left the pub with poor hubby trying to finish his pint, "We might as well not chuffing bother" she screamed as she stormed out. I don't begrudge them the win, thats football, but I had a moment where I thought: "Serves you ******* right" 🤣

I thought the referee was abysmal.

Just seen the Tyler Morton incident before the 3rd goal, he should never play for the club again on the basis of the 1 angle I've just seen. He dropped to the floor and led there motionless, whilst his team mates scrambled to try and stop the attack, leaving time and space middle of the pitch for Doyle to score. That incident, on the evidence I've just seen, is everything that is wrong with modern day footballers.

He's paid to score goals, if he'd done that yesterday we'd have won, but the lad ran himself into the ground, never gave the Sheff Utd defenders a minute and as usual defended like his life depended on it, you can't fault a player like that in my book. Just on Gallagher, 2 blokes stood in front of us yesterday, middle aged chaps with heart rates approaching 150 beats a minute I'd wager, slagging Gallagher off for most of the match, when in fact 9/10 times it was Diaz 🤣

Says it all really. Despite the obvious disappointment, the town should be loud and proud tonight. Those players were tremendous today against a side that has been assembled for 10's of millions £££, most of which hasn't been paid, so administration could be looming for the cheating bastards in red and white. Onwards and upwards.

First of all, can I say Happy Mothers Day to Mrs Tyrone senior. Just on Szmodics, that lad epitomises everything about this current side thats great, he's been an excellent buy after a slow start. Today he ran himself into the ground, never gave the United defenders a rest and gave plenty to the home fans to, he's worth the admission price alone and was a strong 8 today.

Gutted, but extremely proud. I can’t add much more right now, but we should all be bursting with pride. This head injury stuff doesn’t wash, play to the whistle.

Come on

Stunning morning over here in Yorkshire, for all those fans coming over Snake/Woodhead pass you'll see what I mean as you climb over the tops. I don't know about anyone else, but I've not felt this way about Rovers in many a year. I went to bed at 9pm last night, the Mrs spent the next few hours trying to find what I'd bought or what I'd broke! We've arranged to meet friends before the game for some breaky: "We know a place that does avocado, fruit and pancakes" was the suggestion from the Sheffield lot. "I'm from Blackburn, I not eating ******* avocado before an FA Cup Quarter Final" was the reply, I'll let you know how the sausage sandwiches are! Safe journey everyone, lets hope this amazing support that has stuck with the club gets its just deserts today and for the rest of the season. Might chuck a 'livener' in my coffee, she'll never know. Come on Rovers!

Could be 10 this, dingle ****’s. I hope the trains are cancelled and the motorway is closed, let them walk back to the land that time forgot.

FA Cup games are unpredictable, form goes out of the window. With 6000 fans in blue and white roaring the side on anything is possible. I told the Mrs I want to set off to game now, she pointed out I’m not as young as I used to be and would be lucky to see 12am tonight, let alone 12pm kick off tomorrow…… Rugby it is then 🙄😂

What a tune SG, what a band, superb stuff, I salute you 👍

You’ll have been here:

Just enjoying a pint in Sheffield right now (I live close by). Driving in about 20 minutes ago, 5 Rovers fans trying to dodge the traffic crossing the ring road. The invasion has started early.

Sat here with a Wednesday fan, to be honest he's more nervous than I am about Sundays game. The look of angst on his face when he talked about the possibility of United getting to Wembley, I wanted to assure him that won't happen, but I'm not tempting fate!

Amen me friend 🙏

Did they come to Ewood back end of that season with illuminous yellow shirts on? Lit the Darwen End up in day light!

I went one New Years day, late 80's, I'm sure Sellers played a blinder and we won, but not seen us win there since. That all changes on Sunday 🤞

@BigUts Its still running apparently, last seen on its was to the knackers yard!

We lost, but we went down fighting, literally 😉

That is probably because we never went in the post seats!
