A game which lasted nearly two and three qwaata hours waz finally won on penalties by Blackborn after a 2-2 stalemate!
It aall started off so well az The Toon took the lead in the 19th minute, when JJ Hooper foond Michael Hoganson with a low cross and he wellied the baall into the net @ The Leazes End of St James' Park!<(and aalways will be!)
This waz the forst goal that the away side had conceded in the competition so far!
The lead waz short lived however!---az Rovers equalised just six minutes later though, with a divin' heeder, which gave Alex Baird in The Toon goal ne chance!
We retook the lead orly in the second period when JJ Hooper hammered the baall home from twenty yards oot @ The Gallowgate End.
It stayed that way til the 75th minute when a wicked defection wrang footed Baird and 'The Tandoori Chickens' were level once more.
There were ne more goals, so an extra thorty minutes was played, where 'cramp' then took it's toll on players from both sides and the trainers were onto the pitch every few minutes az they went doon like flies, but neetha side cud add to their tally!
Penalties then sealed wor fate @ The Gallowgate End, az we missed wor forst THREE spot kicks (one blasted ower by JJ Hooper and two saved from Ben Sayer and Micheal Hoganson!) as Rovers convorted aall of their three, to reach the semi finals of The Youth Cup and a tie against eetha Fulham or Bornley!
They'll be fryin' tonight in Blackborn!
