JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 It's a horrible tackle, but are we seriously questioning if his intention was to snap his leg in half or not? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure his intention wasn't to snap his leg. It's just that when you make a tackle like that the risk of it happening is rather big. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be less willing to make last ditch tackles etc with that hovering all over his mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 25, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 25, 2017 It's a poor challenge and I'm sure we all hope Coleman makes a full recovery. As a Villa fan, well, he's got himself a bit more rest, so if his head is right, this'll be good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously for Coleman first and foremost, but I'm sure Taylor is really beat-up about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound of bones snapping is not my favourite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 How 'devastated' Neil Taylor tried to apologise to Seamus Coleman after the Ireland v Wales match Quote The Everton man was stretchered off after breaking his leg, and Wales boss Coleman has said devastated Taylor went into Ireland's changing rooms to apologise for his shocking challenge Wales manager Chris Coleman has revealed Neil Taylor sought out Ireland captain Seamus Coleman in the changing rooms after his horror tackle left the Everton man with a broken leg. The Ireland full-back had to be withdrawn from the pitch after Taylor's challenge in the 69th minute of his side's 0-0 World Cup qualifying draw with Wales at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Taylor has been heavily criticised for the tackle on social media, while players and fans have flooded the Everton defender with messages of support. But Wales boss Coleman has revealed that Taylor is devastated by his actions and that the Aston Villa man went into Ireland's changing room after the match to apologise for the horror challenge. "Sadly for Seamus it looks like a bad one," said Wales boss Coleman. "Neil Taylor is not that type of player. He's had a serious injury himself. He's a great boy and a cracking lad. "Neil Taylor is devastated himself but that's not going to make Seamus feel any better. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/how-devastated-neil-taylor-tried-12796891 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Of course he was trying to win the ball, but he showed that he's willing to perform incredibly dangerous acts that risk devastating injury to opposition players in order to do so. As a footballer you have a duty of care to everyone else on the pitch and Taylor threw that out the window. He'll have to live with that for the rest of his career and the reputation that will come with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted March 25, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 25, 2017 He's a full back. He makes challenges. Sometimes bad things happen. I'm sure you could find the same for Seamus Coleman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 If you watch that tackle you can clearly see that Coleman went for the ball with a lot more momentum than Taylor and that's why his leg is broken. That's not a slight on Coleman but a fact. Taylor is clearly in the wrong for having his foot up so high and missing the ball but it's Coleman's momentum that cost him. That's not excusing Taylor or laying the blame at Coleman, of course. Just saying that these things happen in contact sports when people collide at full speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) http://www.footballinsider247.com/joe-allen-this-is-how-neil-taylor-reacted-in-dressing-room-after-coleman-horror-tackle/ Quote Joe Allen has revealed his Wales international team mate Neil Taylor was devastated after his challenge left Seamus Coleman hospitalised. “He’s in bits, to be honest. Tayls is one of my best mates and he’s a great guy and he’s really disappointed that one of his tackles has ended up getting someone hurt. “There was no malice in the tackle and he certainly wouldn’t have intended to hurt anyone.” Really not looking forward to all the sensationalised hyperbole, and him being turned into a thug. Boxers have died in the ring. Rugby players break their necks. Footballers risk injuries, namely to obviously their feet! If that was a game he was playing for us, and he could have made a tackle to stop a forward getting through on goal, but ran beside him instead of sliding in leading to him scoring we would be furious. It's a contact sport ffs not badminton. Now we are going to put together a snippet of selected photos and incidents to paint a picture. Literally just like tabloids or biased news networks.

Demitri_C Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 That's a bad tackle no question but the way Coleman went in full pelt made the injury even worse. No way was that intentional 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
