2024/25 Seamus Coleman

[Cels]

I'd say that Seamus Coleman needs to call time on his International Career now just to give himself a fighting chance to see out this season in one piece.

I have time for Seamus. He is a great guy. He is one of the most loyal servants to the club ever and could have been an actual legend had we progressed as we should have. But we didn’t. He is a victim of the club’s his ego has been gassed up by the team and media. He means well and I can’t get mad at him for that, but I wish he would quit with all of his insufferable comments and the club would stop wheeling him out for PR. It’s just sad what they have done to my boy.

'loyal servants'

Always pushes my buttons!

The guy is out for himself and himself only - haven't you all realised that by now?!

They are remarkably quick to fund the GAA, mind.

This is where city TDs need to make their voices heard. Let's not pretend a lot of the rural types have the best interests of the "foreign sport" at heart.

"Handy ball" my late father used to call it.

And don't even get me started on the poxy Rugby.

My village in Ireland, Lucan, has always been a football village, thank Jayzuz for that.

Typing this from St James in Antigua - close to my Antiguan village of football - Parham.

Which one is me?

 

[PhoenixIreland]

He’s played a blinder, he’s been well below par for at least 5 seasons yet he’s managed to create a rhetoric that he’s the greatest ever blue because he kisses the badge when we score and he gives rallying cries in the changies.

Despite being dreadful on the pitch, managers and fans alike hold him in some sort of special regard and think his wages are justified due to the above. Fair play, he’s done it well.

He's convinced himself that he's a legend.

I see Rafael Varane is about to retire so shortly after joining Como FC. He's realised that he's had one injury too many and isn't prepared to just sit on his mega money contract as he knows the money is completely insignificant to him.

Wonder why Seamus continues to take money from Everton knowing that every passing week his reputation and legacy gets tarnished further.

Retire ffs.

His new name should be Shameless Coleman.

Explain this bit Taifi.

Yanks, was the "redistribution" of Dundalk's prize money.
GAA was if you remember the FAI was too at ease of making demands of the GAA, gaslighting campaigns in the press, trying to create pressure on the GAA. Demanding access, talking about hosting events without the grace to ask unlike the IRFU. Within weeks of the Liam miller debacle, the press started covering the issues around Delaney, article after article having given him a pass for years. Untouchable to a passive government intervening within months.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

He's 36 next month.

He averages around 25 games a season in his career.

He averaged 23 the last 5 full seasons.

The last few, It's only getting lower - as you'd expect.

No slant on Coleman but I'd be starting anyone ahead of him now to give us some contuinity. We need a settled back 4.

God yeah, you are right. Soccer has never had its house in order like the GAA fundraising and facilities wise.

It will be a while before we are producing more Seamus Colemans on a regular basis.

 

[PhoenixIreland]

There is at least 4 GAA.clubs around Lucan

Yeah and 10 'soccer' ️ clubs.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Yeah and 10 'soccer' ️ clubs.

Most of whom will have 1 senior side and no underage set up - so about 16 lads. The GAA clubs will have 100's of players of all ages.

I'm glad you enjoy it, it's better than poxy rugby but it's not for me.
