Given is simply better than Westwood.

Westwood's lack of club football is a serious issue at the moment but it is not the reason, as you bizarrely seem to think, that Given is a better keeper than him.

Why is it a serious issue for westwood and not for St Ledger?

kryogen

Italians really backed up against the wall at the moment, bit of quality and they can be knocked out of this tournament tonight.

Wish we had a go like this in the first few games, it's not fatigue because we are pressing in the 3rd game and stood off in the initial 2. Fair enough we are giving up chances but at least it looks like we could score now

Saying Westward is better than Given is like saying Keane is better than Messi

For all the good it'll do I'll have to write to uefa about this cheating and refereeing. Bringing the game into disrepute. It is still a contact sport?

Lapin

Take it yourself ref :mad:

kryogen

Slightest of contacts unfortunately

This ref is absolutely dreadful. He should never have been put in charge of a game in a championship.

You are using being behind mignolet as a stick to beat Westwood now stop calling others liar you bloody hypocrite.

No, I am not.

Try to keep up.

The point is that we already have an established keeper who has been premiership class for 15 year.

The point is that Samich would prefer if Given retired so that Westwood could play.

Its not Westwood being poor, its Westwood not playing regular football and not being of the same pedigree as Given.

That is the point.

Please don't call me a hypcrite when you don't seem to understand the word's meaning and when it does not apply here.

It was very clear from the post I quoted what can be inferred otherwise why bring Westwoods status in the Sunderland squad up at all. Btw your arrogant attitude doesn't benefit you at all. I'm not arguing given should retire just the fact that you brought up a redundant point and refuse to acknowledge that. As for given being high standard for 15 years, yes he has but I something is clearly off atm so Westwood should have had a runout.

Hank Scorpio

god that ref is a numpty

delta_bravo

Andrews did hit his knee but the fouls against us must be nearly 50-60 by bid which Is crazy for such a clean game

antodeco

This ref is a joke!

kryogen

O Shea kinda got away with a handball there

Keane off

Hah hah.

So you finally admit you were lieing when about my argument for Given to keep playing on?

Why is Robbie Keane playing in LA such an issue for you? Surely it is better than playing not football?

The answer is that St Ledger is an exception in my opinion.

Most players are better when they are playing regular football - Westwood as Ireland's number one in the next campaign would be fine if we have no other options.

But to wish such an outcome? To actually wish Shay Given would retire?

That is madness.

Samich

Finally Keane is off. Took long enough.

antodeco

oh my god, Keane is off!

sReq | uTeK

Get off that pitch shocking tournament good player shouldn't be playing any more and should retire

Walters wins a free in a dangerous position after only a few mins. Keane, has done nothing all game and Doyle who was doing well gets taken off. Sigh

Don't know how he starts Doyle (Terrible season and 2 goals?) and Keane (playing in what can best be described as a sub standard league) when he has Long and Walters playing and scoring regularly in mid table premiership clubs.

This has been plain to see in the last 10/15 mins

Mars Bar

This ref is diabolical

Ah so it's an exception when it suits ya?

[Jackass]

If only you could win the championship from the stands...

kryogen

If the ref really was from Rome he would have given a penalty there

Handsome Bob

Jesus christ, would the both of you STFU about Given....his performance in this tournament cannot be defended but then again, who's performance could be defended?

They have all been fcuking brutal.

Barr

Spain have just scored

gandalf

A few lira heading the way of the officials based on their performance tonight!

Samich

Shay did well there

Excuse me.

Resorting to insults and the incorrect usage of the word 'hyopcrite' actually doesn't benefit you at all.

So please, if you want to jump into the middle of something with insults then you really have no grounds for complaint if you then deem the other person 'arrogant'.

stevenmu

Jesus, Balotelli was clearly waiting for a tackle there so he could go down.

keith16

Spain with a scumbag FIFA goal there...

Samich

Disappointing from our best player at the tournament.
