Shamrock Rovers boss Stephen Bradley was speaking in the wake of Sunday’s Aviva Stadium defeat to Bohemians.
Stephen Bradley has slammed Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrímsson for what he described as “disrespectful” comments about the League of Ireland.
The Icelander said at the time: “ easier to pick them if they are playing regularly before the national team comes together, but I’m pretty sure a lot of teams in Europe are watching them, ‘who are these guys’ going this far, doing this good in the tournament’. “We have got an international manager telling my players to leave to have a chance to play for Ireland,” blasted Bradley.
“His comments on our players moving to give themselves a chance to play for the Ireland team are absolutely ridiculous. It is so out of touch with what we need, it is incredible,” he said.“We are trying to grow a league and entice players to stay here long, and improve on every aspect. And I am talking about everyone up and down the country, from volunteers to everyone who puts everything into it.
