2024/25 Seamus Coleman

Seamus Coleman is Irish and sleeps in Celtic pyjamas, the 2 main reasons why there is so much adulation for him on these pages. I don’t need to imagine what those jingoistic posters would think of him if he was English.

I think he’s a lovely bloke that doesn’t want to admit his body is broken and hasn’t been at the required level for a few years, no shame in that as it comes to all elite level athletes. Some players have the grace to bow out, others (Seamus included) tarnish their reputation by trying to cling on when they are physically finished.

Seamus Coleman is a football player, he doesn’t pick himself either for Everton or Ireland, in this time of people only looking out for themselves it is hard to contemplate of a person who feels it is his duty to go out on the field of play and to give of his best when picked to do so. Seamus has to believe that if a manager picks him to play then he is the best available option, he then has to do his best. It is not his fault that he is not the player he was, it is not his fault that he is still the best available option. His man owes nobody anything, he has always done his best, he has been up there with the very best and he is now on the slid but he is still in there battling for his club and country. Professional footballers are not the best examples of humankind, if you were to draw up a list of professional players both past and present I am of the opinion that Seamus Coleman would be pretty near the bottom of that list.

He's a footballer, mate, not the second coming. Some people need to chill out and stop beatifying people who kick about a plastic bag filled with air.
 

He’s spent more time injured than he has playing for us, draining the club of money. For me his past history is tarnished due to how much of a bad player he has been for us over the last 4 years. He should do us all a favour and retire as soon as possible. Either that, or leave and go and play at a level where he can be useful, maybe back in Ireland or down in the lower leagues.
 
I get the appeal of having him in the dressing but why not invite him on to the staff while he does his badges (assuming he wants to)? If not, he's wasting valuable minutes that could be going to a young player who will never get experience otherwise.
