dudley_villa Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Might have a punt on this one with Paddy Power... First assist... Ash Young 11/2 or milner 8/1... http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/carling-cup/blackburn-v-aston-villa/first-assist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vojskovoda Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 It's so predictable how Blackburn are going to play tonight... counter-attacking football and they'll try and demostrate a snatch and grab if they score... this makes me think we should just play 4-4-2 now and just outclass them; we don't want to be getting into a battle of not scoring.

granville Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 You can get 33/1 on Stan to score first but only 25/1 on Craig Gardner? I know he's got a powerful shot but it's unlikely he'll score from his sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Are away goals counted these days? Remember they weren't the last time we played a semi final in this cup. Nothing about the game being cancelled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigVik Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Official rovers site seems to think it is definitely going ahead.. (that's what I infer from this anyway) All systems go for cup cracker Posted on: Thu 14 Jan 2010 It is all systems go as Ewood Park gears up for a cup cracker tonight. Club staff, under the stewardship of Stadium Manager John Newsham, have worked endless hours to ensure that the Carling Cup semi-final first leg with Aston Villa (8pm) goes ahead. Managing Director Tom Finn said: "It has been a great team effort and everything is now set for a great night of cup football. "We are indebted to John and his staff for their efforts in helping to make the areas in and around the stadium as safe as possible for spectators. "However, as everyone who lives within the region will be fully aware, there are still patches of snow and ice on the approaches. Therefore, we urge all fans to arrive a little earlier, wear the appropriate footwear and take extra care." Tickets for this Thursday's Carling Cup semi-final 1st leg at Ewood Park are on open sale right up until the 8.00pm kick-off. Tickets are priced from just £15 for Adults and £5 concessions.

benevans Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Are away goals counted these days? Remember they weren't the last time we played a semi final in this cup. Away goals only count after extra time, as they did when we beat Arsenal 2-2 in the 1996 semi at Villa Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just hope that some sort of arrangement can be reached to ensure they stop working come kick off otherwise this could pose some real problems.

stato Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Wear your colours! There's very few grounds, if any, where it's an issue. Blackburn certainly isn't one of them. And with over 5,000 Villa fans there you can bet it will be a sea of claret and blue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place i would think twice about wearing colours would be st andrews if i was planning on walking through Digbeth on my own. Any other occasion and it's not an issue.
