“Shay will go back between the sticks and we explained to Brad that our No. 1 goalkeeper is Shay. Brad didn’t necessarily agree but Shay is my first-choice goalkeeper. Football is cruelat times, although Brad’s been magnificent. It’s the first time I’ve had a chance to see him in high-profile games and I’ve been really delighted. He understood, hedidn’t like it and he didn’t necessarily agree, but he’s a proper gentleman. I wasn’t going to drop it on him five minutes before kickoff, so there’s a mutual respectthere and I think he’s earned that respect.”
