E I Addy O
We're gonna win the cup.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!
- E Tattsyrup.
E got an assist for Lukaku's third.
Great assist not as good as McCarthy goal, I think he even provided his own assist?
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport...carlo-12701307Question: Are you looking at Seamus Coleman as a replacement for Lahm?
Ancelotti: No.
Cue laughter.
And relief on blue half of Merseyside.
If he was born in England they would probably bid £40m for him.
The same club that signed Dale Jennings, who has been out of the game for 13 months after leaving Milton Keynes Dons.
here's a clip of Ancelotti taking the question: https://twitter.com/AffariDiCalcio/s...55813225660417Originally Posted by TheOneWhoKnocks
Ancelotti just answers "No" to the question, it's unintentionally good comedic timing, the laughter comes from the press in attendance
Bayern have never paid £40m for a player, no matter where he was born. Their transfer record, Javi Martinez, was signed for €40M, about £34m
He left MK Dons more than three years after he left Bayern - and played for Barnsley in between - how is that relevant?
I don't think the laughter was directed at Coleman, nor do I think it was even to suggest that those in attendance felt Coleman would necessarily be out of his depth at Bayern either.
The laughter was seemingly due to Ancelotti's abrupt and to-the-point answer to a presumptuous question that came out of nowhere, as far as those present were concerned. I doubt Coleman was on anyone's mind until the Irish journalist (at least, the accent sounds Irish and the theme of his question would suggest a local interest) who asked the question mentioned Coleman. You can see why an Irish journalist's localised focus might lead to such a question - we probably attach undue significance to idle rumours we've heard about our own players - but it undoubtedly just seemed like a comically parochial, irrelevant or unforeseen question and exchange otherwise for the other (mostly English and German?) journalists. The Irish journalist could alternatively have framed the question more generally and asked Ancelotti if he was looking at any specific players to replace Lahm; that would probably have seemed a more ordinary or less obscure/presumptuous question instead of blatantly and without a hint of subtlety attempting to make the conversation about Coleman before being immediately shut down in his attempt.

Managers can't really talk about players from other teams anyway. It's all a bit of nonsense but I guess the online media got a few hits or whatever.
In celebration of World Down Syndrome Day, Séamus met participants from Everton in the Community’s Down syndrome team to take part in a game of football: https://www.facebook.com/Everton/vid...4197480606277/
I assume he must have done this before joining up with the international squad on Sunday, but a nice gesture nonetheless. Top lad.
Oh well. The road to recovery starts now I guess.
Confirmed he's going in for surgery today. Not for the last time either, I'd say. No immediate idea of how long he'll be out for, but you'd imagine he's in a race to make the start of next season at the very best. Could well miss the remainder of the qualifying campaign.
He'll be out for at least six months, according to Dan McDonnell: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-35564624.html
"At least six months" sounds like a worst case scenario to me. He is in his late 20's so it will take a bit longer but I reckon he'll be back well inside 6 months. All depends on complexity (or lack thereof) with the breaks of course. They'll be well into pre-season 4 months from now. I wouldn't rule him out of at least joining it at some point.

" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Best wishes to Seamas . I hope it all goes well for him .
Ramsey broke his leg in February, and was back playing the following November.
Henrik Larsson was out for eight months after his leg break.
Optimistically we could see Coleman play again after Christmas.
Good luck with the recovery Seamus. There will be a seat to Russia kept for you.
I got a combo of the Scottish Independence/Trump/Brexit dread when i woke up earlier and remembered. Still gutted.
Hon Séamus!
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
I think we can take some comfort that Arron Ramsey played against Ireland last night following this break.
That is our Glenn laying on his healing hands!

<MODEDIT>
Changed embedded image to a link - warning graphic content
Tricky - "don't post images of the tackle that broke Coleman's leg" wasn't an invitation to post images of other, similar incidents
<TRICKY EDIT>
Sorry about that but I'd seen the image in a few newspapers, ie the Sun to name but one. I guess that influenced me in the wrong way.

Best of luck to Seamus. 6 months is seriously optimistic. Alan judge is near 12 months now and not doing contact training yet. Better to rehab longer and come back psychologically and physically strong and confident
