Shamrock Rovers’ manager says there’s too much arrogance in the Football Association of Ireland
Stephen Bradley deliberately provoked controversy by criticizing Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson and FAI chief football officer Marc Canham, focusing on their attitudes toward the League of Ireland. Bradley's outburst, following Shamrock Rovers' defeat to Bohemians, was aimed at addressing perceived issues within the FAI, including Hallgrímsson's suggestion that Rovers players could escape the league for better opportunities, and Canham's handling of Colin Healy. Bradley's actions were seen as strategic, with the potential to influence discussions around League of Ireland players' representation in the national team and the league's future.
