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 does owe us something, because we literally pay his wages. If his legs can no longer play 2 games per week, or barely even one game per week, then he should have retired from international duty.
