Eamon Coleman, yeah I've heard of him. I think rovers1 and sligoman are fans of his work

My only regret is not putting a few quid on him to play for Ireland at senior level the first day I saw him playing for Rovers.
Fair play to him. He is doing incredibly well.

I've seen comments on him in various places too. He must have been very lively.

Doubt those GAA roasters have ever heard of him...even Ken Early seems to have little interest in the LOI.

[paul_oshea]

shouldn't this be moved to the ireland section ;)

[paul_oshea]

Seriously though just going on the link above a friend from killybegs told me only 3 years ago he was still playing junior soccer, is that true? Said he was some player at gaelic as well, that uncle dessie did a bit of talking to him.

He was hoping to excel at the old GAA and was on course to make the Donegal senior team until Rovers showed up... and the rest is history in the making...

[paul_oshea]

thats all the cooler and better when ye think of it. Thats what i was told alright by a lad who knows him. From nothingness to this in 3 years.

[CF1989]

he played against us in a pre season friendly in 2005/2006 for st.catherines

Hello Niko!!!

[Shedzer]

Id like to give a few people a mention, those who aided Seamies career. :)

Sean Connor, you are a tw4t, but il hand you this..you gave him a chance.

Keith Foy, thanks for giving him the start he needed, if it wasnt for your fat arse with a lack of genuine pace at left back, he probably wouldnt have looked so impressive in that friendly (Rovers v St. Catherines)

Steve Manson, you are even sh1tter than we thought, surely with him overlapping you could do one thing right in your career at Rovers, surely just one? You made him twice the player Steve because he did his own job as a right full and yours at right win, you made him an attacking fullback...

[CF1989]

To be fair Manson played most his football on the left.

listening to the 606 podcast from yesterday now and only one real mention of seamie. gabriel marcoti talking about him aswell :)

Seamus Coleman finds himself at Everton's coalface
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1233996/Seamus-Coleman-finds-Evertons-coalface.html

[Redie]

Full page in today's Sun with Sean Connor telling everyone how he discovered Seamus and effectively started his career and how he always knew he would go all the way.

The article also gives the impression that Seamus played a full season for Connor including the Cup semi-final against Derry City - is that correct?

Also says that Connor is high onthe list for the Cork job as well as being in for the St. Pat's job.

I think Connor was gone when Coleman made his first team debut verus Shels at the end of the 2006 season. Think Seamie scored an og in that game as well.

[gustavo]

Seamie was on the bench for the Derry City game anyway

[showgies]

Coleman played 15 minutes under Sean Connor as a sub against Derry City (we were 4-0 down when he came on).

He played more minutes under Rob McDonald than under Sean.

[CF1989]

Is this Sunday's 606 with Spoony and Marcoti....

yeah, the first caller talks about him. thats it really

[CF1989]

he was never in the first team under connor, i heard it wasnt even connor who recognised that he could do a job for us.

[avvenalaf]

Cork City never fail to amaze. One would think they were in enough trouble without appointing that knacker.

[gustavo]

To be fair to Connor,I'd say had he stayed he would have played Seamie in the 2007 season

[SligoBrewer]

Verified here.

Connor takes over at Bohs. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/irish/6155996.stm)
Article says he left on approx the 2nd of November.

Seamies Debut for Rovers. (http://www.u.tv/Sport/SOCCER-Drogheda-defeat-Sligo-Rovers/c5e81311-b5ad-40c2-8a49-c8061415508a)
Scoring an O/G dated 12th of November,

[Knappagh Red]

Did Connors not bring him on as sub when we were defending a corner with two minutes to go and he scored an og?

[Philbo]

As far as I remember Seamie started for Rovers for the first time against UCD in Belfield. It was Sean Conor's last game as manager but he was not in charge, Gareth Gorman was. Open to correction on that though.
Great to see him doing so well

[sligorover]

Did Connors not bring him on as sub when we were defending a corner with two minutes to go and he scored an og?
Who is this Connors people keep refering to? Must be a friend of young Cooke.

[bigredtruck]

Im sure it was dessie cawley and leo tierney who gave seamie his break away to longford and rang michael toolan the next day to get him signed up as he only had two weeks left on his contract, but it was that s***head connor that brought him into the club.

[CF1989]

he came on against derry in the showgrounds when they beat us early in 2007. then started away to longford and the rest is history

Corrected. Well done.

[Red Man]

All that matters is that hes at Everton now,and doing really well....he may have been signed by Connor,and played one game under him,but he got his major chance in the first team when Connor left and Des and Leo were in temporary charge.

[Jeebus]

SEAMUS COLEMAN is at the right club to fulfil his potential.

That is the opinion of Sligo Rovers manager, Paul Cook, who sanctioned the defender’s January switch to Everton.

"When I had him at Sligo, Birmingham were interested. Steve Bruce asked me how good Seamus was and I told him I thought he can go on to be better than Steve Finnan. He's got that much potential.''

His first game in a Sligo shirt was in a pre season game against Galway United if I remember correctly :D

Coleman too looks like a good one for the future.

Good call Mayo Red.

This is the greatest pile of horsehit ever to come out of Seanie 'I know Mick McCarthy and met Murhinio' Connor's orifice.

Gentlemen, I invite you to ponder this. Imagine you are the manager of a Premier/Championship side and you ask your 'very best friend' who happens to be managing a League side on the west coast of Ireland about a player in his squad (squad because he's not playing him in the first team - how you would have got to hear about him in that case is another matter). Anyway, your 'very best friend' tells you that he is going to be better than Steve Finnan. What do you do? My money says you get out your cheque book rapid and write a cheque for 60000 euro or the sterling equivalent and sign him pronto. Unless......

1) You know your very best friend is a spoofer who could not even talk into the right end of the phone when he was answering it for you at Birmingham
OR
2) The conversation never took place

Delighted for Coleman, cracking performance, especially the manner in which he avoided Ekotto's attempts to bisect him in the lead up to Everton's first goal.
Mind you, enjoyed Connor's cringeworthy moment courtesy of the youtube link even more! Please God he doesn't get the job at our place

Exactly. It's almost David Brent like in the way he acts around superstar Mick.:D
