Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley has hit out at the one “idiot” that caused last night's SSE Airtricity Premier Division clash with Waterford FC to be halted for a period of eight minutes by referee Rob Hennessy at the RSC with the club issuing a statement that condemned the actions of “two” individuals involved.

With Waterford leading 1-0 through a John Martin strike, referee Hennessy took both teams off the field on 16 minutes after a number of fireworks were launched onto the pitch by a fan in the away fans' section of the ground.
