After one of the most nail biting evenings of my entire life, underdogs Blackburn Rovers made it through to the semi finals of the Carling Cup after a nervous, torrid 4-3 penalty shoot out victory.

A full report from the Sas will follow at some point.

A few immediate points to make though –

– I never knew so many of the Rovers players could take penalties! well done the Aussies in particular!

– We deserved it on the whole after nearly winning in normal time but a mistake by Robbo left us at 3-3.

– We nearly paid the price for missing so many good chances as you normally do when good teams like Chelsea play you.

– Nikola Kalinic, Brett Emerton, Steven N’Zonzi and Benni McCarthy were all outstanding.

– Nights like this make you proud to be a Rover.

– Every dog has its day and Rovers wanted it more tonight.

– I am not normally one to antagonise or gloat but a certain member of the normally very friendly and articulate Chelsea site deserves this after his super arrogant comment earlier this morning so here we go…

the_blue_world – Everyone at Vital Blackburn says hello and wishes you a nice evening…

Get in Rovers!!! I am super pumped!
