Seamus Coleman

[Llyrap]

There's a lot of simlarities in those 2 top pics and these pics of Barkleys tackle on Henderson.

It's just luck that O'Shea and Henderson walked away but Coleman didn't.

Were they all shithouse tackles from players trying to injure another player, or were they just over aggressive and mistimed? Only the player truly knows.

Both Bale and Ross's tackles were just as bad. The difference is that both players were coming in at each other at speed and therefore there was more of an impact. Whilst the tackle itself was just as bad, a player in Taylor's position would know that there was going to be more of an impact.

I think that a lot of people think that it was deliberate. I don't buy that not because I don't think that Neil Taylor is capable of it (I simply don't know) but this was a vital world cup game where Wales had a real chance of winning. Making a dangerous tackle at that time in the game was pure stupidity in those terms.

Taylor will be forever remembered for that tackle by Wales fans and less so for the fact that his utterly stupid act means that Wales are unlikely to qualify for the World Cup.

I felt physically sick on Friday night - more so unfortunately after reading some of the comments on here.

Will FIFA compensate Everton for having to go out and get a replacement whilst Seamus recovers or god forbid a replacement if he fails to recover?

Everton are set to benefit from FIFA's Club Protection Programme while Seamus Coleman recovers from a double leg break, with the scheme designed to cover the wages of players who are injured on international duty.


Coleman underwent successful surgery on his leg over the weekend, with conservative estimates ruling him out for a least six months, a disaster for both Everton and Ireland.

However, Everton won't be required to cover Coleman's salary while he recovers, with The Times reporting that the Premier League club will be able to avail of the FIFA programme which covers the wages of players injured playing for their country.

The limit a club can receive is £112,000 per week, which is thought to be more than double Coleman's current wage of about £50,000. The payments kick in after a 28-day period following the injury, and can only be received for 365 days.

....and Dunphy seeking a little calm regarding Taylor. TBF although I rarely agree with Dunphy, I have been thinking similarly since it happened - there but for the grace of God go a lot of opther players.

Why did it have to happen to the nicest guy???

Eamon Dunphy has backed Seamus Coleman to use his mental resolve to recover fully from his double leg fracture and has called on people to take it easy on Wales' Neil Taylor, the man who inflicted the horror injury on the Donegal man.

The Aston Villa defender has been in the firing line since his ugly lunge on Coleman on Friday night, with Dunphy describing the challenge as "nasty" and "filthy" on RTE.


Taylor will serve an automatic one-match ban but a FIFA's disciplinary committee could add another four games to that suspension, if they deem that the severity of the challenge warrants it.

Writing in his column in today's Irish Daily Star, Dunphy issued a climbdown on his immediate assessment of the incident and called for leniency for Taylor.

"My initial response was one of outrage and I was angry with Taylor," he wrote.

"But, when I cooled down and thought about it, I had more sympathy for the Welshman.

"It wasn't a premeditated or calculated assault on Coleman.

"Taylor was desperate to get the ball, and intended to go in hard.


"But that's not unusual. Players look to go in hard in challenges all the time.

"It was a lunge by Taylor, Coleman, as usual, was going full pelt.

"He was unlucky enough to have his foot on the ground when Taylor came over the top and has paid a heavy price.

"Taylor needs to be cut some slack.

"What happened to Coleman was one of the worst things I have seen on a football pitch.

"But, if you watch football regularly, it's just pure luck that this doesn't happen more often.

Dunphy claimed that the atmosphere going into the game had been stoked by Roy Keane's comments on how Ireland would "hit" Bale, despite the fact that the Ireland assistant boss qualified his remarks.

Observers have cited previous incidents involving Taylor is lambasting the Welsh full-back but Dunphy doesn't believes any previous offences should be held against him.

"I'm sure Taylor is full of remorse and feels terrible about what happened," he added.

"Some have dredged up a couple of incidents from his part to try and hammer him.

"But he's a 28-year-old defender who's been playing professionally for a decade.

"What defender with that service hasn't been involved in a couple of flashpoints? Give Taylor a break."

The real problem (financially for Everton) is if, God forbid it's a career ending injury,we'd get 60k insurance for a player worth far more in today's market.

If I didn't like this forum, I would happily risk a perma-ban to tell you exactly what was and wasn't deliberate. Anyone who goes in for a tackle like that knows the consequences, whether it be barkley, taylor or barton.

Neil Taylor is a scumbag, and no im not saying this out of anger, I have seen it before on two occasions of sunday league, let me tell you what the three lads had in common - they were all rats who deserve a smack in the face with a metal bar.

Just buy another Right back from Ireland for 60k.

Come on Ronald, its not that hard.

You jest, I know, but Colm Horgan at Galway Utd is a cracking little right back. He's like a Coleman clone. Needs more positional awareness but is up and down the right flank at full pelt for 90mins and has that same tenacity Seamy has. Younger brother of Preston winger Darryl Horgan, who's in the Irish squad.

I don't care if its intentional or not. A challenge like that is a disgrace and if you did that on the street good luck avoiding assault charge. players know better than to go flying into challenges like that. Absolute scumbag challenge and not using explosive language to describe the vileness of it is difficult. Reminds me of a local league game young fella had his leg broken by a dirty old Shytebag and the GK from his team smacked the offender.

I'm sure he's insured for more than that mate

I just don't see a player thinking about the speed the other bloke is going when they commit to a tackle like that. They have usually lost their temper, or the ball, and the red mist descends. In some ways it is more excusable than a tackle like Keane's on Haaland, where he basically planned it.

Hope he is,but have no idea how they arrive at a figure.

Would be a theoretical future lost of earnings capacity I would think

mad how Coleman's only on 50k considering how much some others get paid

Would be happier if it was a theoretical loss of a transfer fee to Bayern Munich... Anyway just hope this is all chat and he comes back the same player.The fact that Barkley had a similar injury and came back well I would hope will help him psychologically at least.
