Meh, players are allowed to value playing for their country just as much as playing for their club.You're absolutely right, it's ridiculous that we haven't replaced him/got a solid challenger for his shirt.
Doesn't change the fact that all top players should remember who gives them a wonderful lifestyle and secures their families future for a generation or two.
The recent injury wasn't predictable but in the past he's joined up with ROI before kicking a ball for Everton after being injured during his last international outing. (and of course coming back broken)
Ireland need to manage him better but he's also a vital player for them.
I'd like to be mad at them but I can't mate; it's all on the club.
