Dan Carr hits back at Stephen Bradley in Shamrock Rovers row

Former Shamrock Rovers player Dan Carr has defended himself using strong language on social media to say that he was never bigger than the club.

Carr is to move to Apollon Limassol in Cyprus and was responding to comments by Hoops head coach Stephen Bradley to RTE about his departure.

"He just didn't fit where we were going as a club," said Bradley. 

"When representatives tell you that maybe his heart is not in playing for Shamrock Rovers, he’s not the right fit for you. People maybe think we needed to sell but we didn’t like what we heard, this club and this team and what we’re doing and what we’re building is bigger than any individual.

"If people don’t want to be part of it, no problem, we’ll shake their hand and let them walk away. That was the case with Dan. You don’t want people who are in the mindset of not being with the team and not being in the group.

"This club is a special club and it’s bigger than any one individual and unfortunately, that individual just felt he was a little bit bigger than us."

In a tweet this morning, Carr says he gave his all for the club and any comments to the contrary were very untrue and disrespectful.
