Does the business again for Stoke today by opening their scoring with a tap-in. Looks determined to make that next contract a good one, be it at Stoke or elsewhere.

A great pass from Arnautavic(?)

Great movement from Walters again. Reminiscent of the goal v Georgia.

For those with a memory like mine here is the Georgia goal!

Ha! That's me told. It was actually Long's movement I was thinking of!

Yea, I got confused by that at well, I think a different goal was shown on TV recently where the ball basically bounced off him.

I am still a bit confused, nothing new in that!!

Jon Walters: Stoke chief executive Tony Scholes keen to compromise

Serious amount of goals off the bench, didn't even realise he was on the bench that often!

Not the best article ever written but the sentiment is clear.

Having become a PL and Irish international footballer at the age of 27, in 5 short years he has become a crucial warrior for us. Interesting to note that he has 7 goals in 36 internationals which is fairly close to his goal per game ratio in the PL also.

He's spoken of the pride playing for Ireland gives him due to his late mother being from Mayo. Without trying to over-emotionalize or over-personalize it, you can see his willingness to battle in the Irish jersey in her memory every time he steps out on to the field.

Also, has anyone seen the pictures of Shane Long after scoring the goal where his initial celebration is to point to the sky and look upwards (can't find the image now)? Presumably that's a tribute to his own late father. Another man who hasn't had it easy when you consider his father's passing and that his mother moved to England with him when Reading signed him from Cork City to help him make the adjustment.

hmmm, joe.ie has certainly changed it's tune with regards to Walters: http://www.joe.ie/uncategorized/thre...the-door/14605

What we got instead, however, was Jonathon Walters, a lumbering journeyman that only found out he was Oirish this time last year.

Think you might be right. Might have mixed him up with Mason there.

This is one of the articles I was referring to anyway: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...reland-up.html
