Serious question here. Anyone know more about this story?
Barry Glendenning. Anyone listen to the Football Weekly podcast or follow him on twitter? I'm seriously worried for the guy, this thread is not a joke.
No but his fingers are turning to butter.
I had a quick look at Glendennings twitter and I saw nothing regarding your comments.
If Given was going blind, would you not think that his club's medical staff would know about it and hence he would not be number one for his club and they wouldnt have signed him on a long term contract??
Can always finish his career as a ref.
If Barry Glendenning said it in the podcast then I suspect it was an attempt at humour to explain Shay's recent mistakes. With his Offaly accent it is often difficult to distinguish serious comment from sarcasm. He can be quite entertaining though.

No no, there's more to this story. Barry made a comment that was edited out of the podcast due to legal reasons and then he went on twitter to explain. There's a big thread about it on the football weekly facebook page.
Looking at his tweets he said he was unhappy that his "theory" on Given was edited out of the podcast. If it is a theory then there is no story - it's just something Barry has thought up. he has never been a big fan of Given anyway. This sounds like nothing to me.

@ckfyvie I think his eyesight may be deteriorating. Could be complete ******** ...

Haven't seen the squad today but wouldnt jump to conclusions if he is dropped for guzan. Shay has been very poor and an guzan had a cleansheet midweek.
Benched as expected, Burke on bench too
This thread is really annoying me. Isn't there a "rubbish" section somewhere on this forum?
Is Colbert Report going blind? Somehow missed this: http://foot.ie/threads/16525-Shay-Given
I didn't put it in the Shay Given thread on purpose as I figured there was a good chance that this was just a joke, though I am actually worried that there might be some small thread of truth to the rumour.
