Seamus Coleman

[The Cowboy]

Unfortunately his age is against him. He is 27 now and the body is slower to heal than a 19 year old, despite him being a terrific athlete. I think the press release today said 12 months.

Still as gutted for him today as I was last night.

He's 27 not 67. He's still essentially a young man.

talking of doctors eggs our doctor confirmed he is definitely retiring at the end of this season.

Thought you were referring to Seamus for a sec there.

sorry Dan, probably nearly made you collapse! lol our Seamus will come back stronger than ever I reckon mate, man's made of stern stuff.

How does this compare to Aaron Ramsey's break? Perhaps we can hope for a similar recovery

Both were horrific. I dunno, Seamus will be out for a long time but something tells me he'll pick up where he left off when he does come back. His is a fantastic story from where he's come from to where he is now. I doubt he's going to let this injury get the best of him

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Get well soon Seamus.

He's actually 28, turns 29 in October.

 

[Blues Harp]

Wow.....this needs to be imaged on to a banner for the rest of the season....get well Seamus !!

 

[Ivo]

What about the chap Eduardo. Did he recover? Seems to be a similar injury

 

[bazzer25]

I want to think the best but it looks like laughing to me, maybe it's a reaction to something that looks horrific. Sorry Joe but I can see the grins on your faces.

It is time the so called pundits stood up and called things are, this nonsense that no player wants to hurt another player. If you don't ant to hurt someone don't o over the ball and into their leg.
Coleman coming on after saying he is "nit that type of player" and what a good lad he is. He broke a fellow professional's leg with a tackle aimed to hurt, in my book that makes him that type of player and a thug.
If he was walking down a street and he attacked someone in that fashion he would be arrested.
I am realistic, I know that he will play for Wales again, I know he will be playing for his club long before Seamus Coleman plays again but his punishment should reflect the damage he has inflicted on a fellow professional, he should be banned for 15 games and be put in a form of probation and if he hurts another player then his punishment should be even more severe.
It is time dangerous play was taken seriously.

Twenty grand cheaper than Graeme Sharp.

 

[bluerobert]

I'd say he's my favourite Everton player at the moment. Just love his attitude and humility. Great example to any youngster and by all accounts a lovely lad

 

[Sapie88]

I wish people would stop saying 28 is old.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Was annoyed last night watching it and posted.

On reflection, and replays, Taylor didn't care for the consequences.

That's the most polite I could be about it.
