Shay?

Irish name for Seamus.

 

[Bluerover]

Irish name for Seamus.

Seamus is the Irish name (for James). We usually shorten it to Shay.

The most annoying thing about yesterday for me is how all the 'experts' claimed the penalty had to be given or the ref had no choice. Seamus barely touched him and was just turning around. It was not a penalty for me at all. 99/100 or with a different ref it would not have been given. That 3rd goal killed us otherwise we were in the game and it could have been different.

Never in a million years a penalty. That ball bag Moss completely gambled on saving his own worthless skin by handing a PL title chasing team the points against a team that he could be sure wouldn't kick up too much of a fuss.

Bent as ****.

Shay Given is called Shay tho isnt he?

Shay John James Given ??????

So does that mean his name is James John James Given?

 

[Bluerover]

Mind you, Seamus McDonagh always insisted on Seamus.... not Jim or Shay !!

 

[Goat]

Im confused, so your saying Shay Givens name is really Seamus? Or James?

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

People keep saying penalty but that was a blatant DIVE...I didn't mind Zabaleta before that, either. F'ing t*t.

Shay John James Given ??????

You were looking at Wiki!!

I don't know the answer but my guess is that he was Christened John James Given, and that his Dad's name was either John or James so the family called the young lad Seamus to avoid confusion.

e.g. My late dad was John, and my late older brother was John but he was called Seán (Irish for John) to differentiate them.

diego is the spanish word for james, which is the irish word for seamus

 

[Bluerover]

diego is the spanish word for james, which is the irish word for seamus

No, its the Spanish word for Seamus! But what about Jaime???

 

[Pat's Van]

No, its the Spanish word for Seamus! But what about Jaime???

it can't be, the spanish version must be Ernesto, because that was Guevara's real name yet everyone called him "Che"

and he was Argentinian remember ???

so that must be it, Ernesto is what the Argentinians call the Spanish version of Shay which is of course the Irish word for Seamus which we in turn would refer to as James

so it's actually Ernesto Coleman

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Ref was rubbish, it was never a penalty, Milner is a donkey and should have walked, but overall City played the better football and deserved the win for that alone.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Stupid call on Coleman ruins the gain. I hate divers. Something has to be done.
