Wexford Echo — People are sending their best wishes to Seamus Coleman after THAT tackle

Friday, March 24, 2017

The 0-0 draw tonight wasn’t the worst thing about the Ireland V Wales game.

That came in the form of a tackle by Wales’ Neil Taylor on Seamus Coleman, which left the Irishman with a broken leg.

Shortly after the final whistle, Irish manager Martin O’Neill had this to say about Coleman.

“It is a bad break, and he (Seamus) has gone to the hospital now this minute.

“It is a real, real shame for the lad. Brilliant player, brilliant character, We are all devastated for him.”
