For now, Shelbourne are preparing for Thursday’s European game away to Swiss giants FC Zurich in the Europa Conference League.
They warmed up for that second qualifying round, first-leg with a 1-0 win away to Bray Wanderers in the FAI Cup second round on Sunday.
But manager Damien Duff was scathing afterwards, slating his players for a poor performance in the wake of their European win in Gibraltar three days before.
Duff told Shels TV on Sunday: “"In any league if you can't do two games in four days, we will sign your P45 and you can go home. Ridiculous.
"Guys who haven't been playing a lot and were knocking on my door, they shouldn't be knocking on my door any time soon, if they do I won't answer.
“Guys coming on thinking the spot is theirs, they played with a real arrogance, an arrogance that disgusted me, disgusted a lot of people in that dressing room.”
