Interview:
The Republic of Ireland international, who signed for Villa for a fee of around £3.5million after falling behind Joe Hart in the Eastlands pecking order, has admitted he needs to build up his match-sharpness ahead of his team's first game against Fulham.
"I think my confidence is okay because the Ireland games kept me going," he said.
"You do get a little bit rusty because you're not playing so many games, but I'm excited to be getting back and getting match-sharp again.
"My two young kids kept me busy.
"It's about not losing the confidence in your own ability."
The 35-year-old, who was speaking at Aston Villa's kit launch with Genting's casinos, added that the idea of returning to first-team action has reinvigorated his appetite for the game.
He said: "The biggest thing missing was the buzz of matchday and playing, so I'm just really excited about getting going again.
"It was frustrating, knowing you're training with no chance of playing, but the manager made a decision and you've got to respect that.
On Tevez:
"I think it looks like he'll probably leave, but there's lots of negotiating to go I think.
"I don't think it's mercenary. You've got to respect his decision. He's got two young kids in Argentina and he sees them once every two months so it's very difficult for him."
Given added that people often see footballers as commodities, rather than people.
He said: "He is one of the best players in the world and people forget there's a human being behind that and he does have human feelings as well.
"I wish him well, he's been a great player for Man City and he'll be missed."

good luck shay
Wish their was some way to show him that we respect the fact he's leaving and we'll miss him.
Having a keeper of that calibre on the bench was such a one of a kind occurence, we where exceptionally lucky to have such a luxury for one season.
Good luck Shay, I hope you get injured before each of our matches.

taylor number 2 get in :D
Given is a top keeper and i wish him very well . I had reservations about Hart initially but he has done excellent and established himself as the No 1. Given this and the fact that Given is too good to be on the bench this move was inevitable.

But that's because Barry only left for the money. If only he'd left for a club like Liverpool who'd be playing Champions League football, they wouldn't have cared and would have laid out a carpet of red roses for his final walk out of the club.MCFC-alan88 said:I bet we give him a better reception then they gave Barry. Bunch of cunts.
