Last updated : 20 August 2008 By Paul Jennings
Irish manager Giovanni Trapattoni is happy that his first competitive game will go ahead as planned on September the 6th. With the ongoing violence in the Georgia and the uncertainty about their participation in the World Cup qualifiers FIFA stepped in and made them decide where they want to play their game with the Republic of Ireland.
Trapattoni would not want a hold up and now that path has been cleared he is relishing the prospect of leading the Republic out in a World Cup qualifier.
He said
"It is important to respect the calendar. It is important the teams play on September 6th.
"I am happy FIFA have decided this. I am sad for Georgia, but that is the situation. It is better that we go away with that calendar."
