COLEMAN DEFENDS

Wales boss says Seamus injury unfortunate

DUBLIN booked for a late challenge on John O’Shea, ruling him out of June’s trip to Serbia, but his manager felt Ireland’s players had been no angels themselves.

Asked by an Irish journalist if Bale had been lucky to avoid a second booking for a high foot on James McClean, Chris Coleman said: “Do you think one or two of yours were lucky to stay on the pitch?

“Because it was a little bit of both. Your boys were not coming off there with halos on their head. It was going on all through the game.

“It was a typical British game of football. There were one or two complaints from our boys, that your boys were a little bit late here and there.

“And some of our boys were as well. I’m not complaining. That’s football.”

Coleman may have been aggrieved
