I think Colman knew his team mates are so slow that there was no chance they would be far enough forward, so decided to give it a lash ~ Great Result.

nothing bizarre about it at all. superb finish from a super player. you could see he looked up and picked his spot. so intellegent.

no way it was a cross that went in as there was no one in the box for him.

Nice one for the scrap-book for when he retires.

Good finish for sure but definitely a bizarre goal when you look at the keeper's positioning.

In fairness, pineapple didn't say it was a cross that went in. He said the keeper was expecting a cross; that meant his positioning was off, and that created the opportunity that Coleman took so well.

Delap 9th was the only real suprise for me there. We really should have made better use of him. He was cursed by his flexibility.

Meant to post about this before. Thought Coleman looked pretty strong against Forest over the weekend. Had a good penalty shout, got forward to support the attack well. It’s a tough season for Everton but Coleman looks to be doing well individually.

**SkStu** · 01/05/2023, 7:47 PM

Coleman back and now stretchered off after a nasty tackle from a Leicester player. Was holding his knee and looked in anguish. Had been playing really well too. This worries me, could be the last we see of him.

**pineapple stu** · 01/05/2023, 7:52 PM

Ah balls. Was just saying I presume it wasn't Coleman cos he was injured. Hadn't realised he was back. (Snooker taking priority this evening in the pub!)

**the 12 th man** · 01/05/2023, 7:59 PM

That was a really bad one,surprised if we see him playing again.

**SkStu** · 02/05/2023, 1:14 AM

It would be tragic way for a player and person of his caliber to finish his career, especially after coming back from another horrific injury already. Both from stupid, reckless tackles.

Not trying to write his epitaph too soon or anything but he deserves to be discussed when there’s debates about some of our greats. A gem.

Seems like a great fella alright. His last serious injury has held him back a lot ~ ~ Anyone, hope for the best for him.

I can't watch this back having been close enough to the Wales injury. Would rather not see this. But going by every report it could be career ending.

If so, it is sickening he didn't get to retire from Ireland on his own terms. Only solution for it is for him to manage us some day. That would be consolation. A leader of men.

**JR89** · 03/05/2023, 10:59 AM

Has posted on his Instagram that's he's been for a scan and there's no ACL damage plus should be back soon.

**Trequartista20** · 03/05/2023, 11:48 AM

Good news. I thought there was a huge overreaction to this before anything had become known, with some even claiming he'd never play again.

**seanfhear** · 03/05/2023, 12:43 PM

I'd love to have seen Seamus at his peak having played for us when we had one of our better sides. He certainly had great potential as an attacking full back in a very good team.

Great news! It didn't look promising when he was face down on the pitch for 5 minutes, stretchered off with his leg in a brace. I was genuinely worried that it could end his career, especially after his prior injury against Wales, so this is a great bit of news to wake up to!
