2024/25 Seamus Coleman

[BlueStevie35]

Get rid of this crock.

Only Irish man who hates Coleman, what a miserable get you are

 

[Big Sams Undies]

Don’t think he was ever fit enough today to play a meaningful part.

I suspect it was a purely ceremonial/sentimental call by Moyes having Coleman lead us out.

As it’s a bit of a dead rubber (in that Southampton are clearly not interested), I’ve no issue with it.

He can’t be offered a contract next season though. It’s time to hang them up.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Gutted for him, was hoping for a late pen for him to sign off with a goal

 

[Delargeinho]

Very thankful, but if Moyes wants him around, then please in his staff

Me too, I wanted him to be the last goal scorer at the ground.

 

[Goodison87]

Wouldn’t be surprised if that was part of the plan and Moyes let him lead the team out one last time on such a momentous occasion. Glad the fella got to do it.

 

[Caolam]

Get rid of

 

[toffee82]

Get rid of this crock.

Even proper Kopites like Coleman after he donated money to one of their fans attacked in Rome.

So if you can't even be a proper red on the wind up.

 

[Chewbacca]

Get rid of this crock.

Obvious RS

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

Glad he got to play and get the send off he deserved. But even with limited minutes today it clearly shows that’s it. Grateful for him and his service. But he’s got to hang them up. He’s got so much to give if he wants to help manage.

 

[Zatara]

Didnt Hunter say he was staying as a player?

 

[PhoenixIreland]

Tom Cairney is Fulhams, but has started nearly no games this season but is club captain AFAIK.

Cairney scored today.

 

[jazzy]

Lovely to see Seamus lead us out but clearly he is finished and surely that puts to bed any fanciful talk of a new playing contract

 

[knowing your history]

The plan I assume was to get through to half time or early second half and then pull him off then but couldn't manage that.

Like everything else today it was superbly managed. However I can't believe for one second he's getting another deal as a player, it will purely be to learn his trade on the coaching staff like Baines last few seasons.

Didnt Hunter say he was staying as a player?

Moyes clearly said "one way or another" and it was later clarified to "as a player," but I didn't hear Moyes say that in the press conference. I thought he left it open to being in a staff capacity. But Coleman has said that he'll walk away if he can't compete anymore, so I expect him to quietly retire. The only way I see him staying on is if he can be convinced that there's some kind of benefit and duty to be a clubhouse leader and mentor in the inaugural season at the new stadium.
