Great guy and top Evertonian...but the Club must now begin exercising RB contingencies

I hate international 'breaks'....
 

get better lad. christ I really have to watch my mood and postings following the challenge the list of choice words i have up my sleeve will get me a perma ban *shakes fist*
 
Slightly off topic... but still related to Seamus... I've often wondered if a player is injured on international duty, does the national side have any responsibility (financially) for loss of playing time, hospitalization etc to the club?

I can't remember who it was but I'm sure somebody claimed a percentage of a players wages who was injured on international duty or they tried to.

Found this so it looks like we can't get anything because it was a qualifyer

Will a domestic club be provided with any compensation when this occurs?
Following agreements between FIFA, UEFA and the European Clubs Association (ECA) when players playing for clubs are injured on international duty during major tournaments then the national governing body will be required to compensate the club which the player plays for.

Does this only apply to injuries in national tournaments?
The limitations on this rule are that it only applies to injuries suffered in the final stages of an international football tournament and not the qualifying stages. Therefore if a player playing for England is injured during the World Cup the Football Association will have to compensate the domestic club but would not have to if the match was part of the qualifying stages of the World Cup.

Is this a desirable position for the clubs?
It is a desirable position for the clubs due to the fact of the close proximity of games in the final stages of the World Cup meaning that the potential for injuries being suffered is higher. It is also more likely that a player may “play through the pain” and aggravate an earlier sustained injury when the high profile nature of the World Cup is at stake.

Are there any disadvantages for the clubs with this position?
The World Cup takes place in the off-season for the English domestic game whereas the qualifiers for the tournament take place during the season. This means that the potential for any injury picked up when on this kind of international duty affecting the player’s ability to be out of action for their club is much higher.

Furthermore, there is also the situation whereby a player may suffer a career threatening injury while training with their national team. This has occurred recently for a player in the Premier League when an injury suffered during training meant he was out for a season and then aggravated the same injury ending his career two years after the original injury. The club would have been paying his wages for those two years and will not be eligible for any compensation.

Is it just high profile teams which are affected by players playing for their national team?
Following the multi-national nature of football in England it is no longer just the top-flight teams which are affected by international call-ups. When the vast majority of players in England were English it was only deemed necessary for the top division not to play matches during the time the national team were.

Due to the movement of football players experienced in the last 10 years many lower league teams have players from all over the world playing for them. In certain situations these players will be international players of smaller nations. This means that these clubs will be put at a disadvantage when playing certain league matches due to losing their players for international duty and not having a break from domestic action during this time.

He has said once his playing days are over it's back to Ireland to play for Killybegs with his mates.

That spirit will get my countryman through, all about community pride and the important things in life. He know's he's so lucky to have made it in England, he told me it himself.

Please lads, sing his name out loud at the pit.
