Match Thread: Blackpool (A) - League Cup

[Big_Bluebird]

People will say it was Blackpool Reserves, People will say we rode our luck with some of their misses in the second half. The 1000 Barrow fans there will not give two fcuks about that; that was one of those I was there moments that we can cherish for the rest of our lives. Tremendous work rate on the pitch matched by the tremendous noise in the away end. Just think that could have been Phil Brown in charge tonight, masterstroke by all those who stopped that and got Wild instead, what a bloody man he is!
Prem club at home or Morecambe away in the next round please

If all you can think about at 5am is little old barrow then we’ve certainly got you rattled

[Carlisle1970]

Oh so it’s 5am all over the world at the same time now is it.
You must be drunk from your big night
WERE NO LONGER LITTLE OLD BARROW

Epic night out !

I got home last night just in time to hear the final penalty, and the commentators' brief confusion about whether that had won the game. Also heard references to penalties being taken again. Can someone tell me what happened in the penalty shootout?

Now Google can sometimes be wrong, but it seems from a quick search on the way home that tonight’s linesman is the son of the current Carlisle United manager and ex Blackpool player Paul Simpson!

Oh. My. God.
This is outrageous.
Unbelievable, that on one of the best nights in your history, and all you can think about is Carlisle United.
Good luck in the next round to all you genuine Barrow fans who live in the real world.

Thank you, hopefully we’ll get a decent draw for the club.

Thanks Matty, it's probably just as well for my health that I wasn't listening to it unfold!

OK, cryptic crossword fans, a Blackpool supporter has sent me this one:

Ailment for footie fan from a feathered friend (4,2,1,6)

I do cryptics all the time but I haven't got it yet. I asked if it included the words 'beaten' or 'Barrow', he says not.

[barrowaberdeen]

Not that cryptic tbf and I'm terrible at Crosswords.

So delighted for everyone, everywhere.

What a farce that penalty shoot out was! No good for the nerves but amazing result. Unbelievable effort all round.

[SKIPPER]

Before kick-off there were several posts on the Blackpool forum which said 'strong team,strong bench' so to describe them as Blackpool Reserves is OTT. Some players were left out from their game at Stoke after poor displays and chances given to close-season signings to stake their claim to a regular place.
