Fucking ridiculous.  We've got markandy we've got others. Centrebacks taking pens never fucking works 

There are plenty of centre backs who can take good penalties

[CD_93]

No excuses in the league now. This performance should fire us all the way home.

Nonsense. Newcastle had one taking their first.

[benhben]

Great performance. Give the lads a rest for a few days and hopefully thus gives them some confidence. 

Behind closed doors I don't think they'll be that upset at not adding more games to our small squad.

[Michael123458]

Proud of the boys after that.On another night we could have nicked that pears was out of this world. Got to focus on the league now. Play like that we’re stay up without question. RTID 

[jim mk2]

Brilliant effort by Rovers, could easily have won in normal time

Shearer gone down in my estimation tonight - he should have been more neutral for this game

That's that then, let's move on to Saturday.

[Displaced Rover]

Proud of them today. Expected to get battered. They’ve all worked their socks off. Let’s take it into the league.

Newcastle though, what a tinpot team. Celebrating like that for beating a second division team. Hope they draw City and get pumped…

Ok he missed it (keeper knocked it onto the post) but it was a proper captain who takes the last penalty.

[bluebruce]

Wrong choices for penalties IMO. Szmodics was clearly fucked and despite his confidence I expected it to be saved. A CB shouldn't really be one of our top 5 takers. Markanday has a good shot on him, should've been him.

Ah well, Eustace got a lot of other things right tonight.

[joey_big_nose]

Well absolutely amazing effort - think how well we were setup and motivated is a very very good sign about Eustace.

Want to see exactly the same on Saturday against Swansea.

[Tom]

Superb effort 

To a man they stood up to be counted tonight 

[roverandout]

Total waste of an evening.  Hyam taking that pen has taken the shine off a great performance

I fully disagree; watched the whole thing proud and reassured that my love for the club is well placed 

Gutted but proud

Why? He's literally a Newcastle fan?

Shearer is prone to being a biased wanker quite frequently.

Which championship-level center backs would you name? I respect the captain stepping up but I'd rather see an attacking player take a 'final' penalty every time. Same goes with England.

[Spankus Munky]

Put that effort in for the rest of the season we will be fine, players can be proud of the effort and honestly the result on pens stings but the bigger picture is they have set the standard now, and to coin a Eustace-ism "No Excuses!"

[Nuttall is lost]

Bollox anyway.  Hyam shouldn;t have taken one.

Rovers looked the better team for most of the game and I didn’t think Newcastle deserved that.

When will we get a bit of luck?

To be fair they've just beaten a far more successful club at their home ground - it's a big win for them. One of the biggest nights in their history you'd think. 

[ageoftherover]

Proud of that performance, but losing on penalties is such a kick in the nuts after playing that well.
