Republic v Wales: Coleman Injury

[pajimoh]

Please anyone watched this game? Apparently there was a terrible tackle by Taylor on Coleman that resulted in a horrific injury?

I watched the game , it was a bad tackle and Coleman did not help himself by not pulling out. The Irish spent the first half kicking daylights out of the Welsh, the Welsh came out in thr second half determined not to roll over, legs started flying. The first danger of the night jad Bale flying in to get a cross , Oshea was damn lucky there was no contact, it would have been a clean break. Bale got a well earned yellow...roll the game forward 10 minutes a tackes, blockages and the ball rolled back into play, Coleman who had been on fire all night went in full force to clear the ball, the Welsh goat slid in studs all up at shin level, there was only one outcome. I was watching with my boys as soon as Cole went down,i told them the leg was broken...the rest is history. It was a dangerous tackle, but the intention was so obvious i still think Coleman could have pulled back.

But in the epl they are told not to,even if it was a kamikazee situation. I feel for Coleman, it was a double break...he will be back hopefully and i hope he wlll be back fully fit.

That there is the culture of the "English" game...and this match truly exemplified it.

Technically bad players, when allowed the "tools" to express their inadequacies, essentially become "armed and dangerous".

Nah ref cause this one ...

Gareth Bale should have gotten a 2nd yellow card for a high tackle and sent off.

Very true...i see these guys fly into tackles that makes someone like me recoil in horror. Some of the tackles they go in for and the ferrorcity are uncalled for...so yes you called it right..armed and dangerous they are.

dr oloye, why have you become so soft in your [older] years

#mansgame.

where's coach?

[Coach]

Coleman, proud Irishman, patriot. Pull out from the challenge? Had Our Boys pulled out in '45, it would be bratwurst sausages, groin grabbing green shorts, white shirts and braces all round. Pull out? Nonsense, pull in, all the way in. Coleman went in for Ireland and immortalised his name in doing so. Well in.

There is pulling in and there is dumbly pulling in....same way as there is wisely pulling out and cowardly pulling out....

Oloye, O'Shea required stitches after that Bale tackle so there WAS contact.

And, deep down, you know this is one of those occasions – “a good old British game”, to use the jarring words of Chris Coleman – when a certain level of aggression is considered OK, mandatory even, and the people demanding it usually just assume everybody will be able to walk off at the end. “Heavy-metal football,” the Irish Times called it: all thrash, not enough melody. The kind of game, in other words, when players do cross the line, behaviour-wise, and the risk of getting hurt is higher than usual – often wrapped up in the guise of “passion”.

this game get referee at all? It's like Man U vs Arsenal during the Viera vs Keane years. Kai...thuggery.

^Those were the days.
@Tf, they started in the tunnel back then. #goldenera. These days the pansies are shaking hands and high fiving. "I'll see you out there" Roy Keane to General Patrick Toussaints Vieira. One word. Men.

[Coach]

wrt the video, absolutely nothing wrong with any of that. Good purposeful challenges, a little bit of afters in the middle of the park, both sides showing that it matters. Rather than whimpering about a couple of tackles, discourse should be more conplimentary of those who went in. Number 6 yellow, prompt arrival, got his hands in, no less than expected. Good on him.
