I think Colman knew his team mates are so slow that there was no chance they would be far enough forward, so decided to give it a lash ~ Great Result.Quote:

Nice one for the scrap-book for when he retires.Quote:

<EDIT>
He won!
Meant to post about this before. Thought Coleman looked pretty strong against Forest over the weekend. Had a good penalty shout, got forward to support the attack well. It’s a tough season for Everton but Coleman looks to be doing well individually.
Coleman back and now stretchered off after a nasty tackle from a Leicester player. Was holding his knee and looked in anguish. Had been playing really well too. This worries me, could be the last we see of him.
Ah balls. Was just saying I presume it wasn't Coleman cos he was injured. Hadn't realised he was back. (Snooker taking priority this evening in the pub!)
That was a really bad one,surprised if we see him playing again.:(:(
It would be tragic way for a player and person of his caliber to finish his career, especially after coming back from another horrific injury already. Both from stupid, reckless tackles.
Not trying to write his epitaph too soon or anything but he deserves to be discussed when there’s debates about some of our greats. A gem.
Seems like a great fella alright. His last serious injury has held him back a lot ~ ~ Anyone, hope for the best for him.Quote:

If so, it is sickening he didn't get to retire from Ireland on his own terms. Only solution for it is for him to manage us some day. That would be consolation. A leader of men.
Has posted on his Instagram that's he's been for a scan and there's no ACL damage plus should be back soon.
Good news. I thought there was a huge overreaction to this before anything had become known, with some even claiming he'd never play again.
I'd love to have seen Seamus at his peak having played for us when we had one of our better sides. He certainly had great potential as an attacking full back in a very good team.
Great news! It didn't look promising when he was face down on the pitch for 5 minutes, stretchered off with his leg in a brace. I was genuinely worried that it could end his career, especially after his prior injury against Wales, so this is a great bit of news to wake up to!Quote:

Tell me you honestly thought that that tackle wasn't career threatening/ending?Quote:

Offered a new contract at Everton.
Signs a one year extension to his contract - https://www.evertonfc.com/news/35617...signs-new-deal
Quote:
The right-back, who joined Everton from Sligo Rovers in January 2009 for £60,000, has made 409 appearances for the Club, putting him 17th on the Toffees’ all-time list.
Coleman is also the longest current serving player in the Premier League and is just three matches away from surpassing Tim Howard (354) as Everton’s record appearances maker in the competition.
He's had some bad injuries over the years, or he'd be well past Howard.
According to Wikipedia, he's on 409 appearances for Everton. If he plays 25 times this season, he'll be the player with the tenth most appearances for the club, ever

Still not training with the first team squad, "but he is out on the grass though so he’s making progress". Sean Dyche, Liverpool Echo, 21 Sept.
Better than being put out to grass, I suppose.
Or out of it on grassQuote:

Back in the starting lineup at home to Newcastle this evening,hopefully he can stay fit and playing for the rest of the season….
Looks like he picked up an injury,jogged off so hopefully it’s nothing too serious…..
Fans were raving about his performance. Great to see.
Overtakes Tim Howard to become Everton's all time Premier League appearance record holder (i.e. since 1993) today. Hopefully has a few more caps for us left in him as well, 68 seems far too few for a player of his quality.
Except for that terrible tackle that broke his leg ~ ~ How many Irish caps would he have ? !Quote:

I’d say he’s probably only lost out on about 10 caps between his 2017 and more recent injuries so not prolific. I might be lying to myself but I remember him possibly being underutilized under Trap and him reluctant to call him up.
Trap had blind spot re; Coleman alright ~ ~ And funnily enough he wasn't pulled up about it much either !Quote:
