Really sickened by the abuse Seamus has received, he hasn't been anywhere near as bad as Keane, Godfrey or indeed Digne when he played but yet he gets totally hammered by some supporters, his long term replacement has been found it isn't our his fault it took so long.
Since his horrific injury he hasn't been the same but by no means finished, can still do a job, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually plays the odd game centrally in a back 5, Ancellotti used him there and he has played recent games there for the Republic. If young Patterson turns out to be near our as good as Seamus he will have had a fine career..
