League of Ireland legend Stuart Byrne says Shamrock Rovers' long-term plans are hurting their current ambitions. The Tallaght based club suffered their fourth defeat in five games against bottom club Bray Wanderers on Monday night. "It's a huge club Shamrock Rovers. And they've effectively been a third or a fourth-place team since Michael O'Neill has left the football club." Michael O'Neill left the club in 2011 to become Northern Ireland manager, with Rovers not having won a major trophy since.
