My only fear is "screened live on TV". We never seem to play well when we're on TV.

Am I correct in remembering we beat the gooners at Highbury 2-1 in the league cup with a very late Jamie Clapham winner a few years back. I believe we may have a precedent.

It's fantastic to be in the semi-finals, and a very big well done to the lads tonight. The goalkeeper did brilliantly, the young defence were very good (especially Peters who was brilliant), the midfield looked more adventurous that I have seen them in a long time, and the attack did quite well (Priskin better than Scotland in my opinion).

It is true that Keane has taken us to the semis, so well done to him for that. I did feel that the match showed up some of his poor judgements though as Peters was ten times the player Eastman is at right back and just should not have been excluded for all the recent matches. Townsend was also a real threat and was unlucky to be substituted. If these lads played against Norwich we might have won that game too.

I'm off to defrost my hands a bit, what a cold night at Portman Road! 11,363 for a Quarter Final, that was disappointing if not entirely unexpected.

A great result with only half of the "first" team out there. Would have welcomed WHU in the draw due to play off games and friends, but to get the arse is fine. I reckon a decent result at home (draw or win), followed by AW having to bring out the big boys to try and beat us. Murph looked good tonight, so keep him there for the inspirational performance against the Gooners, and who knows? Makes no difference to Keano's job, I reckon if we are not up there by March he'll be gone with three games to go. Sound familiar? COYB!!!

I think the club should give all the supporters cheaper tickets for the semi and make all the glory boys pay full price

Great game and great draw. I would like to say thank you to all the fans their tonight. All 11,000 of us made some great noise and created an atmosphere because the moaners werent there! Typically they will all be back for the semi but aslong as they dont mind their welcome but agree those of use there tonight should get some sort of priority or discount.

Must agree with Big Blue on Ticket Allocation. 11k for a home Qtr Final Draw is rubbish ! Wasn't the ticket price £5 at one of the other Qtr finals?

Still, Not as much call for Keano Out tonight as there was this morning. How fickle are we !!

Think that the Town should reward the 10,000 that braved it tonight and mate it a better atmosphere then when theres our usual 20,000 in there!

Anyone who has a stub or used their season tickets for tonight should be allowed first refusal on both matches!!!

COYB!!!

I was there tonight and thought the lads did really well, but I definitely think Keane should be sacked. Tonight Peters was fantastic, Townsend a real threat, and O'Connor did well when he came on. I think the exclusion of these players over recent weeks is a big reason for our poor form and Keane has to take the blame for that. We are 17th in the league and that is totally unacceptable. Still, it is an evening to be very happy so well done again to the team tonight. Let's keep the attacking players in for Saturday and have a real go at Swansea!

NEWSFLASH TO ALL FAIRWEATHER TOWN FANS: Ipswich have reached the semi-finals of the Carling Cup. To avoid missing out on getting a ticket, please join the bandwagon, now!

Good luck people, we'll be standing next to some annoying girlfriends and rugby fans over these two legs!

Take a bow supporters, lots of sore throats to follow me thinks. SBR was sparsely populated but did well. Nice to travel home smiling for a change, believe we can take it to the Gooners.. if West Ham can beat Man u reserves...lets believe boys (maybe Man U can loan Arsenal Evans for the game..). Better Keane, still need to build on it..like that brand of footy though
