    The wisdom of Stan

    "Well,'' responded Staunton, "we've got plenty of defenders there, people that can play centre half. Stephen Kelly, and Joey O'Brien has played there, I'm sure he has at underage level." I don't need to add anything else.

    ...or at least should be headed by that picture from The Simpsons of the two apes in Homers thought bubble picking grubs off each other.

    Kelly definitely played at centre half for the u-21s. And was pants as I recall.

    Yep, utterly crap by all accounts, against Norn Iron U21s up in Lurgan I think.

    TV highlights never give a proper assessment of whether a player had a good all round game, but Kelly made a goal saving tackle up at Anfield that was absolutely top class.

    Yep, it was in Lurgan and pants is a nice way of describing his performance. Granted he is not a centre half and Givens acknowledged that at the time.

    he makes me cringe with every interview now. He was a man i looked up to and respected so much for his services to the country and 102 caps. I now detest him and the way he wont do what ever Irish fan wants him to do, RESIGN.
