Felt bad for Shay and Villa after such a great first-half at the Emirates!
posted @ 11:10 in [ Aston Villa -premiership ]

I could only watch the first-half and thought Villa were going to cause an upset after 2 well-taken goals, but of course Arsenal weren’t going to lie down and concede on their own turf. Giving away 2 penalties though was the ‘killer-blow’.

Did anyone see Shay on Sky Sports?

I heard it through the grape vine (facebook) that Shay was on Sky Sports last night. How did he do? Any comments folks? :-)

Shay back to life and down to business
posted @ 11:09 in [ Aston Villa -premiership ]

“It was a long six-weeks”, was what Shay could think of when asked after his return to the Premiership. He also thanked the medical staff for putting up with him as he says he’s not a very ‘good patient’. :-) Welcome back Shay. Well done as well to Guzan in goals for 7 games and didn’t seem to put a foot wrong.

Shay played first-class against Everton at the weekend and you could argue that he won them the point with some top-stops especially stopping an OG as well. :-)

Gary Speed gone
posted @ 17:12 in [ Aston Villa -Manchester City -Newcastle Utd -premiership ]

Just wanted to officially say how much we and Shay will miss having Gary Speedo (Speedo) around. I can’t get my head around it and perhaps I never will. Our hearts go out to his wife Louise and two sons.

Tragic loss of a friend
posted @ 11:30 in [ Aston Villa -Newcastle Utd -premiership ]

To say Gary Speed’s death is a tragedy would be an understatement. To say it affects Shay is also an understatement. To say that Gary and Shay were together during their Newcastle days is also not the whole story. They have had a vibrant (more…)

Shay and Ireland qualify for the European Championships in Poland / Ukraine 2012
posted @ 12:01 in [ Aston Villa -European Cup -Republic of Ireland ]

It was a night which the Irish will remember for a long time, in that it was 10 years to the day that Ireland qualified for the last World Cup in Iran. But tonight to qualify in front of a packed Avira Stadium full of the Green army was something special. Get Shay’s immediate thoughts after the game when he makes his rounds around the pitch here.

Shay excited but warns about taking Estonia too lightly!
posted @ 12:47 in [ Aston Villa -European Cup -Republic of Ireland ]

Shay: “We do have an advantage in that we have got the experience of having been here before, and I think it’s the first time they have ever qualified for a play-off situation. But at the same time, it’s the best team they (more…)
