Will the fact that Irelands game against Georgia is neutral suit Ireland better?

Question

As well, nobody likes those eastern european trips. Last time Ireland were in Georgia Kevin Kilbane had a knife thrown at him. Or will it spur Georgia on?

Answer 1

Its true that Klbane got a knife thrown at him by the georgian fans but they will still be there. Any influence that the fans would have on the game is the same. The neutral venue will be of no major imact on the irish team during the game as both pitches are fast moving and tight. The change will only influence georgia wether its for good or bad we shall see.
