Seamus Coleman

[marmor]

Just seen a still. Feel physically sick.
Just hope he recovers in some way to maybe play again. Poor lad.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

A very unassuming lad who made it big and leads his country.

On a human level, I'm just glad the fella has made his money and earned every penny.

A long road back.

Disgrace from Taylor, just can't say it's one of those things when Seamus may never play again.
Certainly be an uphill struggle for him to get back where he was.
Tackles like that have appalling consequences. He went for him.

 

[Nymzee]

Definitely a clean break from that image on social media.

 

[We'veGotTonyHibbert!]

Hope both sides don't qualify tbh

Aye same, not really arsed about it but at least we have a time frame to go by now if that info is correct. Assuming he does come back 100% in the 8 months its hard to imaging him being the same player again mentally going into the tackle and with take ons etc... Hope to be proved wrong on that. More than ever we need a quality right back, shouldve been sorted in the summer or at least January...

 

[Kieno]

Don't watch if squeamish (and it's not even the worst view)

 

[davek]

I'd strangle that get if I could get my hands on him.

 

[chrissyjack]

nice touch by the gooners

Shows how respected he must be in football . One of the nice players

 

[dublinbluenose]

I think people are possibly confusing his shin pad in this pictures - hopefully it's not in the compound fracture area.

To be honest I don't want to watch replays - absolutely gutted for him either way.

 

[mkrudden]

I'm actually in tears here.

He's just not coming back from that.

Why isn't he? Modern medicine will have him back on his feet, literally, in no time.

Horrible injury, obviously.

 

[windymiller]

What???

Are you saying Seamus, the captain of the national team, should not have played in this vital match and that MON is to blame for that horror tackle??

Good God!

She literally said it wasn't his fault. She's gutted that an Everton player has suffered a potentially career ending injury whilst playing for someone other than Everton. Imagine it was Rom or Gana, the fact it's the ROI means absolutely nothing to most of us.

nice touch by the gooners

They were obviously looking to put a bid in for him then seeing as Bellerin's off.

 

[DanEFC92]

Turf Wales out.

The Williams thing. Footballers do knobbish things all the time in defence of their team in the heat if the moment.
Seamus himself nearly broke Sterling's leg at city earlier in the season. Doesn't make him a bad person.

Bad challenges like this happen all the time. It was a BAD one, don't get me wrong. I have seen much worse tackles that came to nothing. It is unfortunate that Coleman got caught the way he did. Williams was defending his teammate and got caught up in the game.
