Joe Ledley denies laughing about Seamus Coleman’s leg break

It has been reported today that poor Seamus Coleman suffered a double leg break in Republic of Ireland’s goalless draw against Wales on Friday evening.

As Mr Taylor celebrated his 10th wedding anniversary with a curry and a beer his mentions began to blow up with his name trended Twitter in the wake of the fiery World Cup qualifier.

“You expect it, obviously within reason”, said the former Manchester United player. A real horror challenge from Neil Taylor as he comes in high and late on Coleman. He has had a serious injury himself in the past and is a great boy. I’ve got to know Ashley quite well at club level, he’s a great lad but he’s a victor as well.

“I’d like to have been in a position to have seen the challenge”, O’Neill said.

Villa have been far from their best this season and look likely to miss out on promotion to the Premier League as a result.

There was always going to be a derby feel to this game and so it proved as the players probably realised that the referee was not in a rush to brandish any cards.

” First and foremost, the most important thing is Seamus Coleman”.

As if Evertonians needed any further reason to loathe the worldwide break, Seamus Coleman and James McCarthy have been injured with Republic of Ireland.

The Toffees defender is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines, with reports claiming his leg is broken in two places.

“When I saw it back, yes, I was a little bit annoyed”.

“It was a typically British derby game, there was needle all the way through the game”, added the Wales boss.

“I’m not complaining, it was a typical British game of football”. Your boys did not come off with halos above their heads.

“He’s a good player and we look forward to challenging ourselves against him”. “I have not seen it again”.

Neither keeper had a save to make and Wales will have headed into the changing rooms at half-time the more frustrated team – Martin O’Neill on the other hand, will be happy with the way his men executed the game plan. I know him very well, he is a competitive and aggressive player, but he would never go out to hurt anyone.

Wales’ Gareth Bale told Sky Sports: “We never wish that on any fellow professional”.

“In a derby game you’re going to expect some tasty tackles, but as I said, within reason”.

If he’s true to his word, Coleman will be a captain more in the Roy Keane mould – eyes on the prize, no joking – instead of the very bad stuff we see at times, like Mario Balotelli and Pepe exchanging shirts at half-time.
