Galvin was bigger than Coleman but both play(ed) with that sligthly agricultural look, head down and peg it. In physique he reminds me more of Dave Langan. If he was allowed I reckon Coleman would play with socks around his ankles, like both Langan & Galvin.
He is supposed to be very quite and a bit shy tets.i like that photo shows a stealy determination, a willingness to get on with it rearing to go and learn. All at the same time.
You look a bit like that tets.except a bit more lost :-))

i like coleman, seems a really decent guy. down to earth and not a bighead. amazing he was playing in the showgrounds a short while ago.
That's the kind of look that strikes fear into John Terry and Ashley Cole.
Coleman is like Carr he has a knack of getting away with clear fouls in the penalty area
Coleman is playing right in front of me. The Welsh left full is stuck to him everytime we get possession
Are you John O'Shea?
Ya only oshea would have that much time and be thinking of doing other things that playing football.
He was never going to start the next game anyway, Trap just played him so he can now say he's given him his chance. Trap couldn't even give him a full 90mins in a meaningless game like tonight.
Other players weren't passing the ball to him often enough for him to make much of an impact, there was one point where Dunne had a simple option of passing it to Seamie but decided to pass it to someone else who was not in as good a position as Seamie and what happened? A Welsh player intercepted it on it's way. Seamie was actually waving his hands in the air shouting for the ball at one stage and it wasn't passed to him then either. When he had it he did well enough.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
I know you were excited to see an ex-Sligo player do well but that's a very one-eyed view of the night's action. He did some good things with the ball and some poor things - as you'd expect from a player on his debut - but he got plenty of ball to impress with and generally made a good account of him. It's not the team's job to pass to Seamie every time.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Watching seamus last night and in a few other games a few things spring to mind.
Tricky mentioned it earlier too i think, but for longevity and to further his career at the top he does need to adopt to the right back role. He reminds me of an early kilbane, he doesn't have any trickery like duff or mcgeady, but he has pace and direct running in abundance. Like kilbane too, he has a decent cross on him, but better than kilbane he gets into decent positions around the 18 yard box. But this pace will eventually cease and he will be more like kilbane is now, therefore to strengthen his chances of staying at the top if he adapts the role of attacking full back his lack of pace wont be a worry as his main contribution will be defending as opposed to attacking.
The other thing is, yesterday he didnt get much of a chance, i notice with everton alot too, even though he is always an outlet more often than not everton attack down the left, i really dont know why this is given he is always in oceans of space and has proved he has the pace to run with the ball and beat defenders. Anyway I noticed him trying to roam in on a couple of occasions last night and he did it well, good link up play and offered variety, however shortly afterwards he was taking off after doing this. Trap doesn't like that sort of play from the wingers he wants them to attack down the channels and stick out wide, the traditional sense of a winger and unfortunately I don't see him seeing coleman as this sort of player. Coleman is good counter attacking or when he has space, but mcgeady/duff/hunt are more in the mould of the traditional wingers which Trap likes.
The other thing about him which is a minor point, but the reason he keeps tugging at the jersey is straight out of his GAA roots, its the first thign a gaelic player does when a forward goes to make a run, you pull on his jersey quick tug to get up to pace and ensure he doesn't speed away. This is what coleman has been doing time and again at everton and was evident yesterday too with what should have been a penalty. Luckily for us though the premier league refs, and yesterdays too, have been well versed in the game of Gaelic and they let it pass.

I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Trap said clear enough after the game on rte, that we don't wait for Coleman any longer, he has arrived.
That's a crock of sh1t mate. I'd imagine that Moyes probably asked that he be given an hour if anything. It was a pity becuase he was beginning to come more into the game at that stage, the first half passed him by a bit (not that he was the only one) but he did okay, steady debut.
