Slightly off topic but the league results were pretty decent for us today. It's the hope that gets you...

Yebbut Luton had their third consecutive 1-0 win. There aren't many clubs I don't like as much as I don't like them.

Agreed.

Old as I am, the list grows and grows.

20 years ago, for instance, I never gave Wigan a moment's thought.

It was and they had previously won 5 in a row 1-0 not 3. Nearly right though!!!

Nervous ..Will be sleeping in until at least 2pm so I can skip the entire match.. I know I know negative mind ..just always happens with rovers they tease you with some excitement and then break your heart ha! Past decade has taught me never to get my hopes up with this team 

Goodluck to the amazing 5.8k plus fans traveling, absolutely fantastic support and I pray you're given a brilliant performance and result to match 

See you all after 2pm ha! Goodnight 

[lraC]

Sleep, what’s that? It’s Christmas Eve Santa is coming and I’m 8 years old again.

Come on you blues.

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!

Been feeling less confident as the game has got closer. After the Stoke game, I’m worried that we still have that type of performance in us and we didn’t look overly solid against Reading.

I can see it being either a repeat of Leicester or a collapse similar to Burnley. The first goal is everything.

[Polky]

Believe.

[BigUts]

Let's have a go. Let's have some fun. Let's do this!!

COME ON YOU BLUES!

OOP F'ERT T' CUP!!

Tyldesley and McCoist on comms. Slight upgrade from Dack and BBD in the last round.

Szmodics was on the 72+ podcast  this week and said that JDT has the lads training penalties every training session regardless if it’s a league or cup match. He said that they even practice with the all the players on the half way line and making the walk to the penalty spot.

 

Great to hear and you can see it’s working with the West Ham penalty shoot out.

Got a link to the podcast?

I listened to it on Spotify, link above.

if you don’t have Spotify, download the BBC Sounds app for free and it’s on there 😀

Boys gave Mummy Dingle her presents in Rovers shirts. Don't think she noticed. She was just impressed I'd got them dressed so early 😅

Off to Nana and Gaga's to watch the QF, then family roast dinner.

Regardless of the result, I'm determined to enjoy today for the progress we've made. First time in the QFs for over a decade!

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Win or lose I expect a real performance. Don’t leave anything in the dressing room. Another Dingle or Stoke game and I’ll be really pissed off. A repeat of the game against these at Ewood is what is required.

[Tricky]

Pretty much a play off final rehearsal, really concerned about Morton losing his head in this one!
