As most of you will have already seen, Everton's Seamus Coleman suffered a horrific broken leg during Ireland's 0-0 draw with Wales, last night.
The culprit, Neil Taylor, was duly given his marching orders for his idiocy after his captain, Gareth Bale, had somehow escaped receiving his marching orders for his wreckless attempt at a 'tackle', hat could quite easily have broken John O'Shea's leg, too.
Almost immediately, tributes for Coleman came pouring in via social media, with England and Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney leading the way, sending his well wishes to a fellow Evertonian while also commenting on Taylor's challenge.

Let's hope Coleman is able to make a full recovery and is able to recapture the form that had seen him become one of the Premier League's finest full-backs.
