To be fair, Cahill is great at that. He was beating Vidic to headers and not many can do that.Quote:

How did Coleman do?
so you just let a man run in front of you and head the ball into the net because you think your mate might head it away?Quote:

In Coleman's thread I want to find out how Seamus did, anybody see him play?
This will do grand from earlier
'He looked bright. Full of energy and always demanding the ball (from Arteta of all people!!). I'd love the Trap to consider giving him a role in the side. If he doesn't trust him at RB he could do a job on the right hand side of midfield if introduced as a sub because of his energy and willingness to attack the opposition.'
Sorry Geysir I thought you were being serious!
Coleman looked bright, full of running and didn't seem to be overawed by the occasion. He always wants the ball and isn't afraid to demand it off more senior players. Plenty of off the ball running as well. Like I mentioned earlier on he's definitely worth a look as a right sided midfielder/winger if the Trap doesn't trust him at RB. A really exciting player and somebody I hope can muscle his way into the Everton first 11.
Majorly significant that he came on at such a time, glad he did well.
If there is a choice, Trap tends to go for seniority, as in Kelly.
But Trap likes playing 3 CH in the back 4, so I fear that young Seamus is way back in the queue, behind Josh and Kelly.
Fair enough - I'll have to have a closer look on the highlights tonight. I blame their squad numbers - O'Shea is 22 and Evans is 23. Very inconsiderate.Quote:

I have just watched the six o clock news on rte1. In the Sports news Reporter Justin Treacy reporting on the
Everton V Man Utd match he called Seamas Coleman Shane Coleman. This is typical of RTE's sports reporters
if its not Rugby or GAA they havent a clue!
To be fair, BBC have been calling Keith Treacy Simon all day.
Yeh, but RTE make these mistakes all the time.
It's already a little out of date, but anyway.................http://www.dailypost.co.uk/sport-new...5578-27245617/
Though here there is not much talk, if any at all, to start him in a competitive international.Quote:

We just wish/hope/pray that Coleman would hurry things up, somehow bi-pass the good prospect bit and move onto the senior stage as soon as possible. Push up the ante for the RB spot.
that's true, probably over stepped the mark a little.Quote:

Come on Coleman!!!
Ive a feeling this cud be a turning point in Coleman's career. Good performance and he will ahead Hibbert for next game. Huge opportunity
Not watching the game but Coleman appears to be doing ok. From skysports at 74mins,"What a challenge from Seamus Coleman! Wonderful tackle on Kevin Nolan who was about to pull the trigger from close range - could that be a game-changer?!"
haha I guess it shows how two people can have two different perspectives on the same thing
Setanta reporter has just said Newcastle were unlucky not to get a penalty after Coleman "clattered" into Kevin Nolan
Good players who are also lucky are a rare find.
Merson, on Soccer Saturday, initially said it was an unbelievable tackle. Couldn't understand why Nolan, the tacklee, was going spare. But after watching the replay, Merson summised that it was a stone wall penalty. Nice when you get away with it but coontish to be on the receiving end.
I watched the game on line as Nolan pulled his foot back to shoot Seamus slid in front of the ball and Nolan kicked the back of Seamus's leg, dont think it was a penalty just very good timing.
It was an absolute stonewall peno, saw several replays on MOTD and he was nowhere near the ball and took out Nolan. Lucky boy.
First Everton goal according to Gillette Soccer Special :cool:
What a start from Seamus.
BBC text says Brentford equalised after a move down the left flank.
Was Seamus involved?
think he gave away a penalty that was missed
Too bad he didn't get the chance to take a penalty in the shoot-out. Brentford win 4-3.
Ya, you're right that he gave away the missed penalty.Quote:

Even when the penalty is awarded against him, it is missed.
Seamus is indeed blessed with good fortune.
He's getting his share of good fortune after the horrendous blister injury he suffered last season.Quote:

Coleman took his goal very well tonight. On the penalty, it should never have been given, looked like a clear dive to me.
It was a dive when he actually went down but it looks like Coleman was tugging him back as he ran into the box.

Pity Everton didn't make it through. He would've easily started all the cup games. Might be a bit harder getting into the league side.
I think he has probably gone past the need for the Carling Cup at this stage to make his claim. He was brought on at half time at the weekend and was brought on in the game before against United when Everton were chasing the game.Quote:
