he is finished completely as a keeper and was woeful in the qualifiers as well as the tournament
still a great servant to the free state
His brilliance in Moscow was followed in October by a poor concession at home to Armenia and he also let in a soft one in the home Estonia game (albeit the tie was well over at that stage). I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt for the Euros and attributing his below par displays to injury.
Actually he was dropped for the friendly or not considered if you prefer. Trap was quoted as saying Given didn’t get back to him when he texted him to let him know which seems a bit
unlike Shay
Mate I’m a bit of a revolutionary in football tactics that doesn’t believe in selecting unfit players for European championship games. It’s a bit off the wall and don’t let it distract you from your it’s 442 or nothing mantra. Big man, little man up front. Widemen on the touchlines. Kick and rush all the way, jellied eels and cans of lager.
What sort of half wit thinks Given was dropped from the squad and is retiring as a result? The same sort of half wit who seemingly thinks he’d have dropped him for the Euros but he’d have been fine with that.
Them auld jocks are as tight as fuck,the Cavan man wouldn’t get a look in.
That article has nothing to do with Shay Given.
She’s meant to be a model 
She’s a given, not forgotten
She’s a given, not forgotten
There’s case law on this I recall, engagement rings generally have to be returned if the engagement is called off.
I’ll add that the auld birds thread would have been more a appropriate place to post, in my view.
Would many women keep engagement rings if it was called off? Seems demented to me.

I wouldn’t know mate, it appears some would try.
thats not a “given”
there’s actually (uk) legislation
“The gift of an engagement ring shall be presumed to be an absolute gift; this presumption may be rebutted by proving that the ring was given on the condition, express or implied, that it should be returned if the marriage did not take place for any reason”
I presume Ms. Given paid gift tax on the gifts so that should clear things up.
He gets around.
On TNT Sports tonight in St James’s Park, was in Donnybrook last night with RTE.
I’ve seen him on Premier Sports and Sky Sports as well.
That divorce ain’t paying for itself
