A shy is a throw-in in a game of football:
“The big donkey’s last shot was that far off the mark it went out for a shy on the other side.”
To shy the ball is to use it in a throw-in:
“He shied it right inty the goalmouth.” Hear it.

a Brit different 
My St Andy’s cross flag is waving in the wind, lassie. Ah, my Wed. is now complete.
ah, i LOVE listening to you speak. you could read the phone book and i would still tune in 🙂
I love hearing your voice, too. Seriously, you should be on radio talk.
I always have to remind myself that football is really soccer everywhere else 😉
Oooh, there’s a new one on me! Will try and remember to yell that this season at the boys’ games!!
Love it!
Well hello fellow Brit’!
I have seen you around the blog world too, just never made it over and I am glad I finally did.
Thanks for your comment today on the bacon butty. I think I’ll be the same when I return to the UK next yr after nearly 4 yrs. Totally mesmerised by the Tesco deli area and about 2 stone heavier when I depart! I am a huge sausage roll fan too and have tried making my own here, not bad with Jimmy Dean Sage & Onion sausagement, but a bit heavy.
Anyway nice to meet you and I’ll be back 🙂
You know, I’ve started to insist that my Kiwi fiancée (sounds posh!… in Glasgow we’d have called her the ‘other half’ or ‘ball & chain’) attends on a weekly basis for your translations… she’s stopped believing me!
I have definintely not heard that one before. I would have been very confused.
I’m so using that at my son’s next soccer game! Thanks for introducing me to the proper language! lol!
Bacon butty? Who mentioned a bacon butty? I’d give my left arm for one of those.
