message: Sorry but i really don't think that sentence has much relevance in the International Career section. I'll leave it there for now but unless somebody can convince me otherwise, i would suggest it be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Docklanders (talk • contribs) 17:17, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Given has not officially announced his retirement from International football as of October 2013, he's still available for selection as stated here Thanks, JMHamo (talk) 11:01, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Have a look at Number57's comment at Shay Given.. he could be still called up for Ireland. JMHamo (talk) 11:18, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Gary Doherty, Martin Rowlands and Clinton Morrison could still be called up too. You are being completely irrational. The guy says he is retired and that he won't get capped again and that still isn't enough for you. He hasn't played a first team game in over 14 months and he will be 38 years old by the time the next qualifiers start but that also isn't enough.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.46.149.173 (talk) 11:21, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Retirement 

message: I propose switching Shay Given's height in the infobox to metres first:
*It would be consistent with the majority of Aston Villa FC player profiles on Wikipedia and with the usage of Premier League. 
*Ireland uses the metric system and (Shay Given is from Ireland.)
Please indicate if you agree with this change. Michael Glass (talk) 19:48, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Changed as proposed. Michael Glass (talk) 04:12, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Height in infobox 

message: The same as with Paddy McNair different reliable sources give different height for this player. So like for Paddy McNair I will remove the height until we agree which is most likely. PL gives 1.83 meters (6' 0") and PFA gives 6' 1" (1.85 m). I believe the PFA is more likely as it is the official organisation representing professional players in England. Speccy4Eyes (talk) 22:31, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Aston Villa gives his height as 6ft 1in (185cm)  and the Irish Republic team gives 185cm,  so 185cm or 1.85m seems to be the way to go. As the player is Irish, let's go with the height used in his national team and use that as the citation. Michael Glass (talk) 23:57, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: While he's playing for an English team we should use the PFA and/or AVFC website I think as they'll be the most up to date. As you are asking to follow WP:UNITS for this player will you support doing the same for English/Scots/Welsh/NI players too please? Speccy4Eyes (talk) 21:53, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

text: Shay Given is 38 years old, so I don't think we have to worry about his height changing. He is listed in both teams so I think it's fair enough to go for his national team. As for changing UK profiles from metric to imperial first, forget it! You already know what a frosty reception that gets. Michael Glass (talk) 00:55, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The question is will you support the obeying of WP:UNITS not whether you think anyone else will. Will you? If not what good reason can you give that trumps it. Speccy4Eyes (talk) 19:05, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Different heights in citations 

message: Although Given is poised to join Middlesbrough, there has been no official announcements yet, please wait until then before adding Middlesbrough as a current club. Thanks TeaLover1996 (talk) 01:39, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
