Seamus Coleman

[windymiller]

Was it a bad challenge? Intentionally or what?

It was awful. Straight leg, foot over the ball, shameful.

Will have to take your word on it mate as not going to watch a replay, those sort of injuries turn my stomach at the best of times let alone when I like the player as much as I do Seamus.

No, you really shouldn't watch the vid, even the first picture I saw of Seamus' leg made my face pale.

 

[verreauxi]

God awful. So upsetting.

 

[SadSackSuperTed]

Have I got this right: Ledley bends down over Coleman and sees his leg dislocated, then turns away and laughs?

If that's right I sincerely hope someone's flying in next game out he's involved in and rips his 'kin wind pipe out and feeds it to him.

'Sho-Ryu-ken' him.

Absolutely gutted for Seamus comes across as the most likable down to earth guy in the premier league who truly appreciates how lucky he is to be playing at that level. Fingers crossed for a speedy full recovery!

Just read a few Swansea/Wales forums and unfortunately the general opinion seems to be that this tackle was just waiting to happen. Hopefully he has to serve a lengthy ban which makes him think next time he goes to throw himself into such a reckless challenge.

This Taylor bellend is getting a bit of abuse on social media. He deserves to be trolled to death imo.

I hope he is banned for life from the game. No place for that on a football pitch.

See lots of papers have decided to not print the pics, apart from the Sun that is, total scum, but we know that already

My blood is boiling. Totally lost for words. Just make sure Seamus knows how much he means to us.

Why is oxygen administered? Is it for pain control?...and if so, how does that work?

It's a treatment for shock.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I think he was trying to make a statement tackle (which is absolutely stupid when someone is running at that pace) and he didn't mean to break Coleman's leg; he just wanted to make him think twice about taking him on. Having said that, those types of tackles have no place in the modern game. You don't go in recklessly like that just to make a statement. You are toying with someone's career and that is not okay. He deserves a harsh penalty for that regardless of his intent.

ah...ok. You might think shock is a body's reaction to something too horrible to be compos mentis about...I guess it's about managing the shock vs pain equilibrium

Definitely. I'm a bit of a Luddite and I don't use any social media websites, but I hope plenty of Blues have been in touch with Seamus via Twitter.

David Moyes' greatest signing.
