[Archived] Bradley Orr on loan to Ipswich

[G Somerset Rover]

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out Bradley. As folk will know I've been one of his biggest critics. Absolutely unforgivable what he came out with in the wake of our relegation and there was no way back from there. That's one freeloader out, let's look to ship a few more in Jan eh.

[thenodrog]

Good he's absolute shyte.

However it's quite early in Bergs management to make such a judgement so I'd imagine his move is down to one of two scenario's.....

1. He's been beaten by Berg in the sprint training at Brockhall.

or

2. He's been lapped by the tea lady in the cross country at Brockhall.

or both! or more likely

3. He's backed the wrong horse . As a Kean suck-up he's made a natural enemy of Shebby Singh (if so it bodes well for the thousands who want rid of the rest of Kean's allies and will have leave braddock in a heightened state of apoplexy).

[davulsukur]

Ended his own Rovers career by backing the most hated man in Rovers history.

A pretty poor right back, much happier to see Henley get the nod in his place.

[jim mk2]

Orr must be thick backing a here-today gone-tomorrow manager instead of supporters who were here before he was born and will still be here long after he has retired and forgotten as a very average footballer.

Goodbye and good riddance.

When relegation became inevitable I cut myself off from football which was relatively easy given where I now live. I wasn't aware of what Orr had said so didn't get the hate. From what I've seen on Youtube it was standard stuff from one of Kean's allies compounded by appalling timing.

What bothered me most about Orr was that, for me, he was a symbol of how far we had plummeted in such a short space of time. He would never have got within a million miles of Hughes's Rovers.

Best that he doesn't come back for all parties.

Looks like the party is definately over for some of our "players"

[Clitherover]

I don't rate him much as a player and cant stand his attitude but where already pretty short of experience at the back so not really the ideal time to let him go, then again if he's being disruptive(which is what i suspect) then he's better of away from the club. I wonder if Bergs lining up a lone deal or two now that he has a reasonable idea of where the squads currently lacking.

Oh I think we'll manage without him somehow, besides I'd hardly put it on the same level as say Liverpool loaning Caroll out to West Ham. As others have said we have more than adequate back up and he was bottom of the pecking order imo.

All I can say is, poor Ipswich, no one deserves a scumbag like that at their club. He was probably my most hated player since I've been a Rovers fan, mainly down to the Kean connections.

About bloody time too.

[arbitro]

Letter in Cork?

Whilst not having seen the letter the gist of it was that the players were unhappy about what Sheby said about Pedersen and Kean the day beofre at Blakeys.

Good having a football manager again isn't it

[Tom]

The bloke seems a tosser

The scary thing is for all the comments on here he was actually one of our better players in the secod half of last season which says it all really

[Muddboy]

Orr's arrival showed just how far we'd sunk under Kean. If ever there was an average signing, Bradley was exactly that.

Glad to see the back of him. A well spoken thug who, as has already been said, definitely backed the wrong horse.

See ya later, loser.

[Clitherover]

Indeed.

[Rover_Shaun]

Let's just remind ourselves again on what he said straight after he helped relegate us

Blackburn defender Bradley Orr admitted relegation was the worst thing to have happened to him during his career but said the dressing room still supports manager Kean.

"It's very tough, a real bitter pill to swallow - the worst I've had to deal with in my career," Orr said. "It's not through lack of effort but we fell short as a group of players, and it's resulted in relegation.

"I can't put my finger on why, it's really hard to take."

Kean has been under pressure for a large part of the season with regular protests by fans against owners Venky's and the club's poor performances. However, Orr revealed the way Kean has handled himself calls for a great deal of respect.

"The gaffer stood out there tonight and took a lot of stick, I've got nothing but admiration and respect for him," Orr said.

"He's done everything he could to push us in the right direction and motivate us.

"The tactics, training, everything - one man who can look in the mirror and say he's given everything is the manager.

"I'll speak for the dressing room and thank him for what he's done, he's taken things on the chin that he shouldn't have had to.

"The supporters voice their opinions in whatever way they want towards the owners, the players and the manager. Sometimes a line can be crossed and the way the gaffer's handled things is exemplary.

"He's certainly the best I've worked with as far as managers go.

"It's easy for people to pass the buck but the reality is the group of players fell short, it's us that need to take responsibility.

"We've let the gaffer down because everything he's done has been geared to pushing us forward and we haven't done that."

Now OFFICIALLY GONE

Blue and white, what's wrong with that interview? Sounds like what a lot of players might say after relegation.

[Wolves_Rover]

Another positive action and another Kean apologist gone. Who's next?

[neophox]

Good riddance...Henning Berg's era is starting well...

[LeChuck]

Blue and white, what's wrong with that interview? Sounds like what a lot of players might say after relegation.

The Kean arselicking was a slap in the face to Rovers fans. There was no need for it.

Glad that he's left, we're slowly getting rid of the cretins. Henley, Ribeiro and Lowe have that position covered.

[broadsword]

Have I said yet that I didn't like him?

Orr comments following loan move...

"There were a few things going on in the upper echelons of the club at Blackburn and I wanted to get out on loan.

"Once I heard of Ipswich's interest I was really keen to come down here. Thankfully we've managed to get something sorted and I'm absolutely delighted. I know Ipswich well from playing here a number of times. It's a big club and it's an honour to be here."

Hmmm .. nothing to do with being dropped for a 19 yr old then ?

Is that something appointing a manager who immediately sussed that he's not good enough for a team wanting promotion?

I love how he makes it sound like his decision.

[K-Hod]

Made a rod for his own back when he treated the fans with contempt moments after the club was relegated.

Decided to back the most hated man in Blackburn instead of the people who pay his wages.

Would never be accepted after that and has further shamed himself with his antics on Twitter.

So long, sucka.

This. Adios Bradley you Keanite.

[Rovermatt]

Blue and white, what's wrong with that interview? Sounds like what a lot of players might say after relegation.

He claimed Kean was the best he'd ever worked with immediately after a relegation which Kean was clearly instrumental in overseeing. He also stirred up the old 'crossing a line' narrative that the media was so fixated on, thus attributing some blame to the fans.

[donnermeat]

Good riddance. Keaning keanwit.

[John]

Think there was a lot of bad feeling between with him and Singh.

Orr seems a real low life, hence why he probably liked Kean so much.
