Search Jon Walters on Twitter for the craic.

How Big Jon Walters and Shay Given still get games for Stoke is beyond me

Jon Walters getting beat at 2 headers there that led to goals is whats great about footy today xxx

Get Jon Walters off. What's he offering?

Why why why why why why why is Jon Walters still getting into a premier league starting eleven

Offside with the whole line to look across, then misses the chance anyway. Few minutes later at total fault for the goal. Jon Walters��

Jonathan Walters hits a cross like he takes a penalty, hard and true and without much thought for direction.

Missed another sitter at the death.

Not sure why anyone would reserve such schadenfreude for and pour such effort into deriding someone like Walters...

"He's had an issue with his ankle, but he trained yesterday.

"We had to strap it up really strong and we'll have to see if there's a reaction. He's a little bit of a doubt."

Walters left out of the squad; Given dropped to the bench.

Lovely goal for Walters today. Low ball from wide right was met by Walters on the right of the box with a sublime first time lob over the keeper and in off the left post. Now, he may not have meant it exactly but it was a beauty.

Don't qualify it. That's TOWK's job.

It was a lovely finish.

Reminds me of a goal Keith Fahey scored against Nottingham Forest a few years ago.

An aesthetically beautiful goal, but completely unintentional.

**Charlie Darwin** · 03/12/2016, 5:57 PM

Oh for god's sake.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 03/12/2016, 6:05 PM

I need to qualify that statement.

I think he intended to score, but he didn't intend it to go in remotely like that.

**SkStu** · 03/12/2016, 6:55 PM

Postbait! Success!!

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 03/12/2016, 6:58 PM

In fairness, if someone like Murphy or Sammon scored that goal people here would be questioning if it was intentional.

Let's be honest, guys.

Watched it again; still don't think he meant it to go in like that.

**seanfhear** · 03/12/2016, 7:04 PM

He hit the Target and avoided the goalkeeper.....thats good enough for me .

Gareth McAuley has more goals (3) than any Irish player this season.

Seamus Coleman the leading Irish goalscorer with (2).

I'd say this is well on course to being the worst ever PL season in terms of Irish goals.

It's hard to see where they are going to come from.

Even if Walters or Long were to go on a run they would be doing well to match the tallies they have hit in recent seasons.

I saw Walters' goal on Twitter. I can see why the "did he mean it" questions are being asked, but what else might he have meant? He simply added a touch, but to what ends? Anywhere in the near 2/3 of the goal would have been a gimme for the keeper. He's not stupid. If he didn't mean to have a go then all that's left is a cross to the back post but, in my opinion, it'd have needed a cross towards the 6 yard line to be of any value. He'd therefore have needed a very different touch. I'm not saying he tried to do exactly what he did but in my opinion I think he instinctively thought glancing the ball high and wide of the keeper would have had a chance or at least have caused panic Don't underestimate instinct.

He's not a fan of the winter Premier league ball apparently.

It snot easy to control the ball with this technique..................

**SkStu** · 17/12/2016, 4:48 PM

He was playing up front on his srón for Stoke today.

The verdict wasn't good for Walters (or Whelan).

Watched the first half only and thought they both played well - Walters had one saved very well if a little fortuitously at the near post in the opening 5 minutes and did the usual "put himself about" for the remainder of the half even if with little effect. It was a decent shift. Thought Whelan was ok too. Something must have gone seriously awry in the second half though with the entire team.
