A place in the Quarter Finals awaits the winner of the tie this evening, and there will be a winner tonight as there are no replays and extra time and penalties will be used if needed.
Extra time is something that NUFC aren’t strangers to having scraped through the last two rounds thanks to the additional 30 minutes of playing time. First time out we just about scraped by Scunthorpe United thanks to a Sammy Ameobi special while in the last round it took a header from Fabricio Coloccini right at the end of extra time to give Newcastle the advantage in a seven goal thriller.
Tonight it’s Blackburn, who seem to have taken over our mantle as the comedy club of the Premier League. The fans are not happy with things at Ewood Park and are making their feelings known. They want Kean out and will remain vocal until it happens, which is why talk of a new contract for the pug-faced Scot made me chuckle.
In contrast Newcastle will be taking in the region of 4,000 fans to Ewood Park, which is staggering for a midweek cup game in fairness. They will occupy the Darwen End this evening and will be in fine voice as always. Hopefully we get a superb result to match their superb support!
For those who aren’t going I have to admit that trying to locate a video stream has proved fruitless thus far. You never know, one may turn up, but at the moment it looks as though we may have to make do with radio commentary only. As ever, if you find anything feel free to share the link.
That just about sums it up really. A place in Quarter Final of the Carling Cup? It would be nice wouldn’t it? Should we get through this evening the draw will be on Saturday at around midday.

Difficult to judge without being at the game or seeing highlights yet, but it sounds as if Blackburn got at us down the wings, or at least down the right wing. We obviously need to tighten up there, and we all know how much we miss Tiote, even more obvious now. The less we tinker with the back four the better so it seems.
I suppose we also have a reason to be unhappy with some poor refereeing decisions by the sound of things, but man what a fighting comeback from the lads, they just keep going to the end, excellent spirit and fitness in the team…just didn’t prove to be good enough at the end of the day..

Geordieqatar…spot on there mate, immense effort by the club, cannot fault them on that, just a combination of poor defensive work, a couple of dodgy refereeing decisions, and the luck went against us. It was about time too, cos we have carried a bit of luck so far this season, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the wheels have to fall of the wagon. Stoke on Monday is just the game we need, will sort the men out from the boys !
Just off to work now though mesel`…howay the lads… 😆
