The news that Shay Given has retired has broken on social media in the last hour and as usual, Sky Sports are right on top of things.

But unfortunately or them, Shay closes out the final line of his retirement statement on Twitter with “Go raibh maith agat,” which some of the Sky Sports presenters had difficulty with.

In fairness, they know nothing about our language, and fair play to them for trying, but to get caught out twice…
