Hope all you haters didnt celebrate his goal!
As posted before, they all disappear into their septic caves when he has a good performance. There is something dark about their hatred. I don't know anyone who would come back from a double leg break like he has to captain Everton and Ireland. No one in my memory had ever done this.

Of course the years and injuries have made a difference, but how incredible is his spirit and commitment to this Club.

The haters seem to have an agenda here. Very nasty too. Probably belongs across Stanley Park. Houlding FC.

Fair enough. But…

Is it always about hatred? Or is it about him not being quite as good/consistent as he once was?

Players deserve credit/criticism for good/bad performances.

Nobody was hating on him in 2014 when he was the best right back in the league.

If he played every game like he did today their would be no criticism. It’s just he doesn’t do that does he. Some weeks he (along with the rest of the team) is awful.

As a senior player and captain, as well as being a player who used to be consistently brilliant, it’s only natural that he will get more criticism for bad performances than other members of the team.

When you combine these bad performances with his age it’s also only natural to feel that he may need replacing soon. It will happen one day.

Part of the problem with everton for me over the past 20 years is that we leave players in the team for too long after they’ve started their decline. Tim Howard is a great example. He was a good keeper for us for a number of years (never to southall‘s standards, but he was decent). Then he declined and we kept him in the starting 11 for so long that no one could stand the sight of him.

Im not someone who criticises Seamus. He’s been a great buy for us and I think it’s great that our Irish fans have one of their own playing for everton. By all accounts Seamus is a great guy and good to have around the club. I hope he stays on as a coach after he retires.

But sometimes the criticism is justified. Sometimes it’s not about hatred. It’s just about recognising that an older player may be on the decline.

However, he was great today (everyone was) and showed he still has something to offer going forwards.

Cheers mate

That is a very intelligent post.

I said that his age and injuries have caught up with him. Yet he continues to fight for the team unlike some.

The passion he showed today almost had me in tears.

Like Boxer in Animal Farm, eventually he will be finished. But, what he does not deserve is some of the hatred spouted on this site.

I cried at his passion today after the goal. If only we had 11 showing that level of commitment every game.

Yes, he makes mistakes. So do iI, constantly, ask my beloved wife reminds me.

He remains one of the best players in this overpriced squad.
