Wales' Neil Taylor gets two-game ban for Seamus Coleman tackle

This is a modal window.

The FC crew lambaste the scoreless draw between Ireland and Wales, and react to Seamus Coleman's horrific injury.

Wales defender Neil Taylor has been banned for two games for the tackle that left Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman with a double leg break.

Taylor was sent off in the 69th-minute of the goalless World Cup qualifying draw between the Republic and Wales at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on March 24, and was therefore due to serve an automatic one-match suspension.

But FIFA's disciplinary committee have increased Taylor's sanction to two matches, meaning the Aston Villa full-back will miss Wales' next two World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Austria.
