Sligo Rovers gave four-in-a-row Champions Shamrock Rovers a guard of honour before their meeting at Tallaght Stadium on Friday night.
Hoops manager Stephen Bradley was critical of Cork City, and their interim boss Richie Holland in particular, for not not doing likewise ahead of their clash at Turner's Cross on Monday.
“It’s really poor from Cork. It’s just respect, isn’t it?” said Bradley after the match.
“I’d definitely do it for a team. I don’t understand it. That’s their decision. It is what it is but I think it’s really poor from them.
“Their manager’s decision was really poor, awful. I think that’s so weak. Really poor. You talk about leadership…”
Despite a number of their fans hoping they would follow City's example, according to a poll run on Twitter during the week from their supporters, Sligo decided to show their respect to the Champions on the night they received the league title.
