Fair play to him. Seamie's career will be followed by appreciative Rovers fans, and good luck to him.
I got a phone call friday evening from a lifelong friend of mine, and a lad who i have played football with for as long as I can remember. the lad on the other end of the phone was seamie coleman, to tell me he had just completed a medical and signed for everton, and he is to start training on tuesday morning with the toffees. I have posted this thread to say how thrilled I am he has finally received the big break that he deserves. To all sligo rovers fans, I am sure you appreciate his spell at the showgrounds and wish him all the best just as I do.
Its a double whammy for the bit o'red to lose seamie and cook on the same day and even though my loyalties lie in finn park I hope you do well in europe. Young jason noctor there is also a good friend of mine and a childhood friend of seame's, and is actually a quite similar player. with a good season or two behind him I wouldnt be surprised if a call came for him to cross the pond too.
Anyway, its easy for me to praise coleman becuase he is a close friend, but as a journalist and spectator of football I believe he will be a huge asset to both everton and ireland in the coming years.
Fair play to him. Seamie's career will be followed by appreciative Rovers fans, and good luck to him.
"Even if the wind stops to blow
Even if the sea ceases to flow
Even if the sun ceases to rise
The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."
"Even if the sun ceases to rise, Even if the sea ceases to flow, Even if the wind stops to blow, The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning, glinting star in the sky."
Hope he does well. Ireland right back by the European Cup Qualifiers?
Its great to see things like this as it gives young lads coming up through the juvenile set ups in clubs and thinking about going into the LOI the inspiration to follow through.

Yo te quiero, mi querida. Sin tus besos, yo soy nada.
Abri o portão de ouro, da maquina do tempo.
Mi mamá me hizo guapo, listo y antimadridista.
The best young talent that i've ever seen in the LOI.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
I'm trying to dig out that mazy dribble he went on last season before hitting the bar (i think), anyone remember who that was against & I might be able to track down in MNS archives
I think it was against our lot (Galway United)
"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins."
"Homer Simpson, smiling politely."
Good luck to the lad, he's a great prospect for a few caps now, especially since Stevie Finnan seems to have gone to the dogs....
innit though??
Amazing player..good luck!
Surprising that there is still no mention of this on the official Everton site nor on Toffee News.
Fair play tho' for getting it onto the RTE news.
Together with all our hearts.
How much money did Rovers get for him
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
I think it was reported £150,000.
