Stephen Bradley will be banned from dugout if Shamrock Rovers reach FAI Cup final

Stephen Bradley will be banned from the dugout if Shamrock Rovers reach the FAI Cup final.

The Hoops boss was dismissed in the dying stages of the league win over Shelbourne on the final day of the season.

Bradley reacted to a tackle on Daniel Lafferty from Shels’ Dan Byrne and referee Rob Harvey flashed a red.

After that game, Bradley said: “I said to the fourth official ‘the tackle is f*****g embarrassing, f*****g embarrassing’ and he sends me off.

“I’ve never been sent off for anything like that before in my life, it’s unbelievable. I think it needs to be looked at.”

Bradley served an automatic touchline ban in last week’s FAI Cup quarter-final win away to Finn Harps.

But he has been handed an additional two games, to be served in Sunday’s FAI Cup semi-final against Sligo Rovers and, if they win, the final itself at Aviva Stadium on Sunday week.

Harvey will be the fourth official at Sunday's semi-final clash with the Bit O'Red.
