Is this the first Republic game since Whelan has been a regular in the 1st team? It'll be interesting to see how he plays in comparison. This is good for Kelly as it's another match to get some fitness and he'll have a good rest before Portsmouth on top.

Kelly looks so clueless! Like he hasn't played for years, he seems all over the place and I'm sure it is the manager's instructions but he commits himself so far forward and when the ball is lost he is well out of position... Whelan looking ok, some good passes, a couple of moments of poor control but generally looks comfortable and only one bad pass met with a groan... Trap gave him a right earful after that last free kick though  |

From BBC text:
"1949: GOAL Republic of Ireland 0-1 Georgia
Disaster! With less than a minute on the clock, Kakha Kaladze launches a ball into the box, it's flicked on, Stephen Kelly fails to clear and Alexander Iashvili gets to the ball before Shay Given to prod into the net. Home fans stunned into silence."

Kelly was described as a pacey full-back by some.
I'd back Paul Williams ahead of him in a running race, ffs.

kelly is a hero!! go on my son screw the irish twats Kingdeano, The irish Twats won you shithead As a Stoke Supporter since 1972 I am shocked that a fellow stokie should slag the irish. Ireland has given Stoke some great Players i.e Terry Conroy to name one of them Also in Ireland Stoke have some very loyal Supporters. |

I work for an Irish company and deal with the irish on a daily basis and can back up KingDeano that they are in the main clueless fuckwits with attitude problems. |

King Deano is a retard so you obviously get on well.
Whelan is the only player to start every game under Trap_ odd statistic considering he isn't that good.

Yep- better he gives the ball away there instead of in his own half.

Reading on another forum on an Irish thread, Whelan seems to have had a shocker according to them.
I like him and agree with the comments he is played too deep for us. Especially at home

Kelly didn't have a lot to do, looked steady when needed. Whelan was his usual self, tidy 10yd passes sideways and backwards, like rabbit in the headlights goign forwards - wasted ball or misplaced pass to the opposition. In short, nothing at all special, like you see on a Saturday really, though last night there was the added spice of some shocking set piece deliveries and free kicks.  |
