For us it was Naj [Razi] and Michael [Noonan].\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The suspension for violent conduct is three games, so it is possible any dismissed players will not play against this season. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">\u201cWe are playing to win a league, they are not,\u201d Bradley added. \u201cWe need players, we need people ready for the next three games, we don\u2019t need to get dragged into that. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">\u201cA lot of talking went on there, in terms of silly stuff. There seems to be a pattern, every time around the pitch the same people are involved in it. Even when it is different clubs, like Shels and Pats, the same people are involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Bradley would not say who he was referring to.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">\u201cLook at the pattern, it is quite clear to see. I am not the first one to say this, it is the same people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Bohemians manager Alan Reynolds was not available to respond to Bradley\u2019s allegation as the north Dublin club are boycotting the media to protest against fixture scheduling by the FAI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley has said three players and the Bohemians coach Stephen McDonnell were red-carded by&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":653148,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[3407,61,60,11113,112],"class_list":["post-653147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-bohemians","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-shamrock-rovers","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/653147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=653147"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/653147\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/653148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=653147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=653147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=653147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
