Have you considered he is also partly responsible for being in relegation battles too? Especially as he is the leader. Not a dig at the guy, but got to take the good with the bad.
Seamus Colman was a good Everton player but not a great ,he was probably the biggest bargain the club have had certainly in the Premiership years but he has not been doing it for nothing he has been well paid.I always felt he put his country first above Everton which is fair enough but you can't have it both ways
It was a shame that it ended that way and I like many others had had enough by the end of the game and just wanted to get out of the place.
Don't blame the fans for yesterday blame Moyes and the team,they also knew it was their captains last game you would have thought they would put a performance for him.
Moyes putting sentimentality before winning the game by bringing on Colman and to a lesser extent McNeil sums up Moyes attitude to winning football matches.
Moyes needs to move on in the summer to make room for a more progressive manager.

In what way is that disrespecting him?
I have no problem with anyone saying's been past his best. It's been obvious he has been for a couple of seasons. But that's never been the same as saying he couldn't get a tune for us for a game or half game here and there at a time when we've been playing CBs at RB, and it certainly has never been a matter of dishonouring him.
I swear to God that some people cant understand English here sometimes. There's just zero ability to read nuance into anything. Or they just wilfully misread. My money's on the latter.

I like Seamus but one of the reasons we never signed a right back for years was because the club probably thought he'd get fit and be a starter again.

I hate the whole ceremonial goodbye nonsense at football match's anyway. The only time its acceptable is if we're 4-0 up and smashing it. Otherwise they should be reserved strictly for testimonials.

No actually. Much if not all of our woes was to do with poor ownership and subsequent really bad football decisions. Coleman victim of that circumstance.
Lot of what ifs had there been better stewardship footballing wise. Thats just pure conjecture of the if only. Myself have little time for that clap trap.

That's a load of old pony.
Goes to show the value of proper attacking full backs
Coleman Baines and Digne were 3 of the best around

Bloody hell that was mortifying for the lad. Notwithstanding Moyes’ ridiculous decision to introduce him into a match the club needed to win when he cannot move properly anymore, he ends up making a terrible decision in not defending and mopping up a straightforward ball before the third killer goal which reflected terribly on the manager and his impotent yes men coaches. The club is falling into oblivion under Moyes and his decision to bring in Seamus Coleman with half an hour in football in him all season was shambolic. Obviously the crowd will leave after such a sh*tshow. He’s the collateral damage after that with everyone gone home. Maybe he deserved better after 17 years but he should have been gone two years ago at least. I get that he gave his career to the club. Antoine Griezmann did ten years at Atletico in two spells and won five cups. He got a light show yesterday but then again he’s one of France’s best ten players ever and one of Atletico’s best. It struck me that Coleman’s ‘leaving do’ was a metaphor for the club’s overall mismanagement from the top down.
Nah I’m not having this whatsoever. If he was that much of a physical liability he’d have hung up his Ireland boots long ago to try and protect himself.
Which, funnily enough, he still hasn’t done as he’s in today’s announced squad.

The RTE panel were basically encouraging him to retire after the Czech defeat saying things like "Seamus, being such a great fella, will know it's time to go and will probably quietly send out a tweet tomorrow announcing his retirement to avoid fuss."
How I chuckled. Loves the limelight, this fella. Won nothing, but like "the Chairman, God rest his soul", wraps himself in faux sentimentality and pretend selflessness to continue gorging at the trough.

This incident with Coleman yesterday. It's already a lightening rod for a disgruntled fanbase.
The fans being blamed for the lack of a full stadium to honour a fine long serving captain when the club were resonsible for the atrocious lack of planning for his departure and put zero thought into what would happen on the day.
They're going to have to make good on this.
I said yesterday that they should be announcing a Coleman testimonial for the last friendly game of the new season when the wrongs of yesterday can be put right with the cash raised going to EitC and Claire House etc.
It's brought great shame on this club. I expect and demand they honour that man. If they dont we can all see the cut of TFG. Because if there's one thing that even Kenwright got right it was stuff like this.
They just look like uncaring money grabbing scumbags. That's not a great look and these fans will have their number right now.
