Happy to give the lad the benefit of the doubt, particularly last night, many minds werent exacted totally focused on the game last night. However, both goals were his fault and with Westwood ever emerging there isnt a place for such errors. We could still have had that clean sheet record.Quote:

But yeah, what he did last night is the dodgiest bit of keeping I've seen him do in his 120 caps for Ireland. It seems to always happen when he has to dive very low to his right. Italy, Armenia and now Estonia. It's his right shoulder that's always at him, isn't it? I hope it clears up...
Christ but that ball took a serious dip at the last minute though. Still no excuse and should have saved it, but until then he was relatively untroubled, so you could forgive him for a lapse in concentration.
Dreaadful error as was the one v Armenia. Still a legend and top top keeper though and at least he's getting his mistakes out of the way in games where it doesn't matter.
too fond of the sound of his own voice.
Superb servant for Ireland thought and deserves the benefit of the doubt. No fear for him atall
But certainly loves being loved all the same
In what sense?Quote:

Very confused by this, what makes you say that?Quote:

an_ceannaire isn't used to people actually wanting to be liked. His default setting is to attract derision.
Shay just gone off with what appears to be an injury to his left hamstring...doesn't look good. Sprinted from his goal to clear a ball, they were carrying him off the pitch. Not good.
Looked like left hamstring alright. But was a bit concerning the manner in which he wasn't able to weight bear coming off. Hopefully the left knee isn't involved as wellQuote:

And not let it turn into Bonnar 94, where Packie was kept on too long in my opinion.
Also in my opinion Given has not been as good since the big guy from West Ham clattered into him a few years back. Harewood??
(Similar to Cech after the Hunt incident?)
Shay's having a really very,very good season with Villa so far - their meagre points total would be considerably lower if it were not for some great saves and smart keeping. Let's not lose the run of ourselves here, he's still one of the most consistent goalkeepers in the Premier League
Given out for a month, a little more serious than I expected but could've been worse.

Shay will be fit again for selection for Villa against Everton on Saturday.
The week after I finally remove him from my fantasy football teamQuote:

Given was brilliant. Not only did he have to contend with the Everton attack, but he had to save a goal bound effort from his own left back.
