Who actually wasn't a bad player for Ireland. He played very well away to Denmark.

A nice start for Coleman. Let's hope he can keep his place.

Had a very decent game against the North in 93 and all, did he win Irwin's free that was cleared for McLoughlin's goal?

He also played really well in the 25 miniute "win" over England. A tackle he made in the early minutes set the tone for us. Ok, there's revisionist history and revisionist history, but I think it's true...

Or maybe those of us who don't live in Sligo (or even Ireland) haven't been asleep, just open minded...

I remember he tore Irwin to shreds in a club game against united too.. It's gas to think the players you treated with such indifference back in the day isn't it??

You know I love this a lad who was playing junior soccer 3 years ago and was a great gaelic player who was going to be called up to the donegal senior panel before silgo rovers jumped in and signed him, he must be pinching himself now. Speaking to a load of killybegs lads last night he was the talk of the London County Board meeting. All very proud of their own and rightly so.

Great story lets hope it stays that way and he doesn't fade into obscurity.

aye it is great, he's doing the county proud! First man to play for Ireland from 'below the gap' (a donegal term)??

**paul_oshea** · 08/12/2009, 10:50 AM

Thats a big auld gap in fairness EAFC

All spot on bar it was the minor panel. He was only 17 when he signed for Sligo and would've played centre-back for the minors that year. He was though playing senior club gaelic football with Killybegs.

Donegal, who were very strong with the likes of Michael Murphy on the side, went on to win the Ulster Minor League and Ulster Championship in 06, before losing to a Kerry team with Tommy Walsh in the All-Ireland semi-final. Fair play to the lad, he's going really well and everyone is delighted for him.

Mother of God will ye all calm down!!!

Youd sware he was playing week in week out putting in Gary Kelly type performances! He's not. As i said earlier, this reminds me of nothing but McShane.....ye all thought he was gonna be "world class" and look what happened!! Just calm it for Gods sakes! We give out that the English press over hype their players.....have a read of this thread!!! On the back of one game! He has played 3 previous and been nothing but poor!!!
Now we all hope Shamie proves himself as a big player and as an Everton fan no one hopes it more than me, but for the love of GOD, Give the hyperbole a rest will ye!!! He is Seamus Coleman, young player, decent potential, as yet unproven. He is not Cafu!! Not yet anyways. This is exactly the kind of OTT Rubbish Moysey is trying to protect him from!

CALM DOWN!!

That's wrong anyway

He wasn't great against Benfica but then again he was playing on his debut out of position against a Brazilian squad member and the rest of the defence was a shambles

He bared played 5 minutes against Bolton

And he played very well against AEK Athens

People have been raving about him for a couple of years now

Im aware of that michael murphy fella as well, a lad who went to college with him told me he was the best gaelic player he ever played with or against.

Ive been told from a lad whose father used to be secretary for killybegs that he was going to brought into the senior panel winter 06 i.e. after the all ireland final of that year which the rossies one, and handled tommy walsh quite easy
