I read an article and it said that it seemed like the game was just passing him by, the author seemed to blame Jaap Stam more for starting him in a game that was always going to be about physicality/direct football.

No wasn't at it. Meant it was a nightmare being taken off after 28 mins, I've no idea how he played. I'd imagine not particularly well though

That's an awful thing to do to a player. Fair enough if he had gifted a couple of goals. Hopefully he had taken a knock and that was the reason!

Lenny this is professional football, there is no room for sentiment at the highest level.

It was merely a tactical substitution, Rotherham are extremely direct, the game wasn't suiting him so yes being taken off so early wasn't ideal but it paid dividends in the end for Reading.

Kelly is at least in his managers thoughts and may very well get back in the first team picture sooner rather than later.

sometimes it's the best thing to do rather than leave the player out there struggling, it's clear that Stam+the coaching staff think highly of him hopefully he'll get another chance soon enough

Ah yeah, I get that. I suppose what I was trying to say is it can't really fill him with confidence and will be the first thing he thinks of next time he starts. I still think it is humiliating for him and surely they could have seen out another 17 minutes before taking him off. If he was on a yellow and was losing the head looking like he'd be sent off, then fair enough. If he was a keeper who was making clanger after clanger or a defender gifting goals to the opposition, then fair enough.

Maybe I'm just too soft or cutting the lad some slack because he's Irish. That's what is holding me back from managing in the Premier League!

The management team love him, it seems:

"Liam Kelly is a beautiful story. When I came in six months ago I saw him and I immediately asked, who is this small kid? Everyone said he is not a kid anymore, he has been here a long time. Then when Jaap came in I didn’t tell him anything about the academy players, I wanted to see if he saw the same thing that I saw. And the first thing he said was who is the youngster? I said that’s  http://www.getreading.co.uk/all-about/liam-kelly" rel="nofollow - Liam Kelly  - and now he’s involved with the first-team."

He is a ridiculous looking young fella, head of a forty year old from the fifties on the body of a child. LOL
Still, if he has the ability then size is irrelevant.

Has had a run in the team lately and has really impressed. Saw him in the flesh and he is surprisingly adept at holding the ball given his stature. Really highly regarded at Reading- will hopefully get plenty more league minutes this season.

Really hope that's only nonsense in the media, he should stay at Reading for the next season or two and continue to learn his trade because they are definitely a club on the rise again.

If he's good enough to move in the future then fair play to him, but he needs to play a hell of a lot more than 8 or so Championship games before he moves on.

Right there Luis, following my exchanging of views with the very similar minded to you poster, O'Shea, I've re read the entire Rob Kiernan thread in search of this mysterious vitriol you both complain about. In 11 pages, I found 3 posts that might possibly be construed as vitriol by say Reverand Lovejoys Missus, the aptly named Mrs Lovejoy.

As is said to O'Shea last night in the relevant thread, there has been a lot worse posted about both current and past players who never had any connection with the Ibrox outfit. The claims of vitriol and abuse are red herrings. 99.5% of the posts are fair criticism and/or opinion, my own posts on Kiernan last night included.

Also, dont be so quick to throw the if he played for anybody else card around. You dont have to look too far onYBIG to see Celtic get abused, the quality of the SPL get questioned, LOI questioned and not to mention EPL/Championship clubs. If you want to argue Kiernans corner, by all means do so in the relevant thread,but dont attempt to drag other posters comments to the gutter with unfounded claims of 'vitriol' with sectarian undertones by using the if he played for anybody else card.

True and fair play for finding those. I wrote the young lad off when I saw the date of the tweet shouting for England but then I thought again. If a young lad was born here and his parents brought him over wherever in the world, and he ended up losing touch with home and as a teenager tried to fit in by sending messages to idiot mates when he's seventeen. He wouldn't deserve to be written off just because everything's on record now. Of course all of that depends on wiki being right, and his parents not keeping watch for whatever reason. Anyone know the answer?

Strange, it was working when I posted it. It was "Let's all laugh at England HAHAHAHAHA"

Really hope that's only nonsense in the media, he should stay at Reading for the next season or two and continue to learn his trade because they are definitely a club on the rise again.

If he's good enough to move in the future then fair play to him, but he needs to play a hell of a lot more than 8 or so Championship games before he moves on. 

at 5ft 4 he must have some pace and skill on him to be linked to the prem. 

Just checked Shawn Wright Phillips was 5ft 5 who I believe was the smallest player in the EPL.

Was this fella not born in Cork and has played for our under 19's? Tweets a few things about England and suddenly we risk him pulling a Grealish!

The lad was born in Ireland, has played for our underage squads and is now getting his chance in the Championship. But no- let's not see how he develops, let's just throw him under the bus instead.

Cheers Andy.  Seriously impressive and slightly creepy research there.  You wouldn't happen to have the lotto numbers next week by any chance?

The lad's obviously English-born of Irish descent, like loads of his colleagues in our U21s and big players on our team now and through the ages.  

I've no problem with a dual-nationality player feeling personal allegiance to another country - so long as when he puts the green jersey on he knows where his allegiance lies.  Whilst a huge fan of Roy, I always felt he was childish when he criticised Matt Holland for singing GSOQ at Wembley.  The lad can clearly be BOTH Irish and English and shouldn't have to pretend otherwise.

When I first saw his Wikipedia page I'm fairly sure he was listed as English born, his P.O.B has since been changed to "Republic of Ireland", but nothing more specific than that... It would seem to me that he was either born in England or moved there at a young age, so either way he would be eligible for them.

I know I look like a right creep now, not that hard to find them tweets though

This is practically Operation Yewtree territory. A kid's Tweets from 3-4 years ago, FFS ...

Not criticising Andy.  The FAI should have you the payroll - identify a few other prospects for us.

Kelly's obviously advancing rapidly in a good solid club with an excellent reputation for its academy and youth development as well as a shot at promotion.  In fact, promotion might well be detrimental to his prospects: at his age he is bound to get more playing time in the Championship.  

If he keeps this upward trajectory he should be considered, along with the talented Josh Cullen, for a call-up, even on a developmental basis, for March (as O'Dowda was initially).

he would've been 17/18 when he tweeted his support for England though? Not exactly a kid really, you'd have sense at that age...

He's not from Ireland, its just someone trying to fill in the blanks on wikipedia and assuming his having represented  the ROI he came from here (obviously not someone familiar with our national squad backgrounds I'd imagine)
Anyway according to Reading's own website he was born in Reading, also strangely never played for our under-21 team (except some under-20 friendly 2 years back) despite now being 21 and so having just outgrown it so not sure what the story is there given our generally limited quality and options at that level?

Jaap Stam:

"Hopefully he can keep his performances up, continue to improve and we can get ourselves an even better player than he already is in the future."

I don't get what Stam is yapping about at the end of that but the truth is that if we've a young lad that grows up in England and becomes too good too early, we need to hope he's been brought up right or he'll be filled full of sh*t by commission grabbing English (or middle eastern) agents.

Truth be told:

Unless you're playing top half by 21, you can play for us and be guaranteed chances to give your career a boost or declare for them and never play.

Came from the bench to totally turn the game around for us. Received the ball on the edge of the box and squared a lovely ball for Kermorgant to level

Seems a real talent, is he overage for the U-21's?
