BradleyOrrsRightFoot Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Think you can see from my username that i am just a "tad" biased but trust me Brad is a really Top Guy. He also has a lovely wife Liz and a pair of great twins. City through and through and although I have not listened to the podcast yet (Actually saving it???) I know its going to be very very good. Brad says it as it is and my favourite ever BCFC player. Yet again top work lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr X Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Great interview. Just promise him free Deliveroo for a week and Tomlin would be all over it. From the play off team would be interesting to hear what Trundle or McIndoe would have to say. Saying that I haven’t noticed McIndoe on here since the same time as he was releasing his book?

Bradley earned my respect the moment he faced the TV cameras in a post match interview after the notorious headbutt. He was contrite and emotional. Took tremendous courage and real backbone to do that, especially so soon after it happened. A real credit to himself and his upbringing. Start with letting you know what a brilliant podcast that was. As with others, I started to listen and could not stop..... one thing Bradley never lacked was courage (on and off the field and I think morally to) I have total respect for him, no one is perfect or has never made a mistake or done a few things they regret, Bradley's were just more public then ours... So glad he came on to your podcast, I always felt that his injury in the play offs was a game changer... I was a bit bitter that he left us (as I am your standard grumpy supporter, who thinks everything should revolve around my cub :laugh:...), but not anymore and certainly not once you hear his side of it all. Thanks as always to Stan and Pete and all the others that make the OSIB podcast one of the best in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wild Bunch Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Another great interview. So many strong characters in the 06/07 and 07/08 squads. In my view Johnson made a massive mistake in the final switching Elliott to right back once Orr went off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady bunch Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 100%! Of course it is all what ifs and maybes, but, but, but, switching Marvin Elliot out of midfield to bring on LJ (I am NOT an LJ basher! - love him as manager, not as a player...).. Its hindsight, but switching Carey to right back (a far more natural move and what every other manager would have done) and bringing on Tamas Vasko to replace him in the middle, was what should have happened. IMHO Alas he never did, we never made it and have never had a better chance since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted May 27, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 The story about him being dropped and then re-selected due to influence of Steve Lansdown is certainly interesting too That story begs the question how many other times has this happened and to what degree?

Didn’t really take it that way in all honesty. I took it SL was more the middle man & was sounding out Bradley’s mindset & was he willing to help out as he had been basically banished from the first team training etc. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobArnold10 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Great listen. Hearing him say Rotherham/promotion was his best day in football. I will never forget being sat in the Dolman, fans lining to go on the pitch and Orr looks at the ref who’s already doing a runner and about to blow, he turns to the Dolman, holds his arms out and with a beaming smile screams “come on then” at the fans as the whistle blows. Proper heart on sleeve lad and a great memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Another great podcast. Also, despite him giving me probably my worst day in football, big respect to Dean Windass for getting Orr to stop playing that final as it sounds like he was in a bad way and it could have been a hell of a lot worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awbb Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Do Blackburn supporters still hate Bradders? If they do, I suggest if they listen to this podcast they might reappraise his time with them. His loyalty to their club in accepting the potential risks to play when he did is mental. Especially when others were making the demands that they did*. Slightly off-topic, having more time than usual, my brother and I did a draft somewhat like Stanley did on a rival podcast month or two back. Our rules were anyone who played for us from 1988/89 to 2014/15 due to "reasons". With the caveat of Luke Ayling (who never really played right-back for us but probably would have been excellent (see, Leeds United)), Orr is so far and away the best we have had in that time period, it's not even close. I was furious when my brother got him as the alternatives really are honest but limited (Llewellyn, Locke), utter shitehawks (Hunt, Foster) or in Liam Rosenior's case a bumbling balls up...

You'd have to go Louis Carey at right-back, wouldn't you? He played there a lot for us. Probably actually played some of his best football in that position behind Scott Murray. It is funny how right-back has always been a bit of a problem position for us, though, when you consider how many good left-backs we've had...

That’s an entirely fair and legitimate comment and my normal prejudices are once again exposed! I genuinely think Orr was better as a full-back and Carey was far better as a CB than RB but forgetting to mention him was a glaring error! Yeah... Bailey, Scott, Barnard, Bell, Brennan, McAllister, Cunningham, Bryan and now Dasilva... I’ve probably missed a couple of useful ones there as well!

Portland Bill Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Excellent podcast, Bradley came across really well and seems a real genuine bloke. Mind you, I’ve always felt that scousers are the salt of the earth, real genuine people whose hearts seem in the right place, they are a great bunch of people imo. I was really interested listening to him saying that he’s fell out of love with the pro game, because I’ve gone exactly the same way over the last 3-4 years, I’m far happier watching non league and grassroots football now. The top level has lost its appeal for me, and listening to Bradley’s reasons for his fall out with it, just confirmed my feelings. Also, thanks to the lads who do the podcast, much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
