[Archived] Clearout begins at Rovers

[Jimmy612]

Interesting tweet from Orr, hopefully we've found someone to take him off our hands. @bradleyorr2: This is the 1st time in my career that I havnt prepared to play in the season opener...feels quite strange but all will be revealed in time!

Or he's being stopped from playing.....

Wonder if there's certain Pay as you Play clauses in Bradley's contract???

[Tyke87]

Whatever the reason i'm more than happy. very average player who's probably on good money and with kane/henley he's needed even less.

[Gally]

Hope this means he's found a new club.

I never really had a great problem with his attitude. His comments after the Wigan game weren't well timed, but I think some of us were a little thin skinned by holding it against him so long.

The bottom line is simply that he's too limited for the first team, and too well payed for a reserve.

Sure, I can forgive and forget him.

Providing he does leave.

And keeps his gob shut - resisting the urge for a parting shot.

Tbf, he said some kind things about the club when he went to Ipswich last season (which he thought was going to be a permanent switch)

Don't get me wrong, I never particularly warmed to him, but he always seemed to give his all on the pitch, which is the important thing. It just so happens that he wasn't good enough.

The comments were annoying but we've probably all been guilty of sucking up to our boss at some stage, we just didnt enrage a few thousand by doing it

We need him off the books ASAP though along with others

I didn't see it as sucking up to the boss. Just as pure defiance.

Not one person from the club or Venkys has apologised to the fans about relegating us from the PL. From this gobkean, we even had to put up with him rubbing it in our faces.

There's sucking up to your boss and then there's showing utter contempt for the fans who pay your wages.

Don't let the door hit your arse Bradley...

Perhaps you would like to read his comments again;

"In the short space of time that I have been here Steve Kean has been absolutely magnificent - if anything it is the players that have fallen short.

Analysis

"In the game that we are in the easy thing to do is point the finger and pass the blame but one man who can look himself in the mirror and say to himself that he has done everything he could, under difficult circumstances, is the manager of Blackburn Rovers."

Orr says he and his team-mates know what Rovers fans think about Kean, but feels the players are as culpable as their manager.

"We were very much aware of the atmosphere inside the ground," Orr said. "It was not just tonight, it has been a while now, but I have nothing but respect and admiration for the manager.

"He is very down and devastated because he is a proud man. Behind the scenes, the things that people do not see - training, motivation, determination and attitude - he has been absolutely different class and I am gutted that we fell short as a group of players.

"I am gutted for the manager more than anyone.

"Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I think that sometimes it goes over the line and I want to commend Steve Kean for staying positive on a daily basis."

On the night when we were relegated, he chose to come out and call the man who had smirked, lied and weaseled his way into a seemingly unsackable position 'magnificent'. Orr deserved every bit of criticism he had coming to him. He knew the backlash that would come from that and he didn't give a kean.

No 'of course we're gutted for the fans its their club'.

That interview was a dig at the fans as much as anything. Do not doubt, Bradley Orr was as far in that Kean camp as bloody Agnew was. The sooner he leaves the better.

Not defending what he said. I just think we can be a bit touchy when players show a bit of dissent sometimes.

We had a million and one reasons to be aggrived on that night, Bradley Orr sticking up for the manager who was giving him regular football again was pretty far down that list.

Well he can go and play for him again at the next club he ruins can't he.

That night he showed that he had no interest whatsoever in what had happened to Blackburn Rovers. The fact that club had been relegated didn't matter to him - All he could think about was getting his snout in the same trough that Kean, Anderson, Agnew et al were eating out of.

I give him as much respect as he has given us - absolutely sod all.

[AlanK]

Stayed away from football during the summer. Needed a break from all the nonsense.

Would someone be good enough to compile a list of who has gone where and who has come in from where?

Much appreciated.

Did Shebby ever get sacked? Shaw? Agnew?

Orr had no reason to aggrieve us any further. Gob shut = no aggro. Re-reading those comments made me feel a bit ill actually.

However, Orr couldn't resist defending the indefensible and taking a swipe at the [paying and hurting] fans for whatever reason. That's why I don't forgive.

So, Sod Off Bradley and go agitate someone else.

I completely agree with that. I just think in the hierarchy of our many problems, Orr's insensitivity isn't all that important. For a start, players who enjoyed fan favourite tags yet clearly were playing within themselves were bigger problems than Orr giving his all.

Seeing as we can all agree that he's not good enough anyway, it doesn't really matter. What concerns me a little though is that a good player could've easily done the same thing. If so, would we still hold it against the player, wanting him out of the club? It's more important that we have players that are useful for the club rather than ones who tell the fans what they want to hear imo.

[Al]

Certainly high on my list too.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

I got to the first paragraph. He can f right off.

[John]

Bradley Orr, **** off and never come back you toe rag.

Showing again what a gobshite he really is. A bad egg from start to finish and seriously needs booting down the road asap. A trier at times but feckin useless really.

Look like Bowyer has told him that he is no longer needed at Rovers and he is allow to leave now. hopefully we can get rid of him before the window closes either on loan or Permanent. cant believe the wages he is on. what a waste of money.

Kane and Henley are better players than him

He also implied that Hughesy's one fan's missus is a horse.

[Guest Norbert]

Orr is a scouser isn't he? Not like a scouser to play the loudmouthed victim is it?

Who cares what he thinks of us so long as the odious turd is out the club. Try every trick in the book that is legal to remove him as he clearly is like a skid mark on a wedding dress.
