OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 I find it deplorable that these talented young guys throw away everything. O'Connor was earning millions for his football and now I reckon he'd struggle to outsprint most of the posters on this board.He's a disgrace, letting himself as a well paid professional athlete get into that state. What a total waster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a total waster.I agree to an extent - it's his talent to waste but it seems to always happen with talented scots. Most seem content to play off talent and never push themselves to get to a top level; guys like Ronaldo and Messi are examples of how to do it properly.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 MORTON chairman Douglas Rae last night branded Garry O’Connor an out of shape, lazy waster.The Cappielow chief launched an astonishing attack on the former Scotland striker by claiming he’s been a “hopeless” signing for his struggling club.But Rae didn’t stop there, as he claimed the one-time £1.6million Lokomotiv Moscow signing no longer cares about football and should have been dropped from Kenny Shiels’ side weeks ago.He said: “Have I been disappointed with Garry O’Connor? Yes, hopeless.“He’s been totally unsatisfactory. He has not been able to get himself back mobile enough to play in the Championship.“Garry is only 30 and he’s just let himself go. In the time he’s been here he should have been able to get himself back to a level of fitness that, in my view, he doesn’t have.“He’s been disappointing, he really has. I think he has lost interest in football and if I had been the manager I would have dropped him before he actually was.“I’d have told him if he doesn’t get fit, he doesn’t play. The worst thing you can do to footballer is to keep him from playing.“It’s a financial commitment to bring players like Garry to Morton and that’s the sad thing.”Earlier this week Rae hit out at Ton boss Shiels for leading the team towards impending relegation from the Championship and insisted the Irishman was losing the plot.Shiels took over from Allan Moore in December and Rae said: “He is not alert enough to be negative. It is as if he has gone three rounds with Ricky Burns.“He has aged 10 years since he came here.”Now the latest rant from Rae has focused on O’Connor who arrived at the club in January after being out of football for 12 months amid a high-profile court case for drug and driving charges.And the Ton owner has followed up his criticism of the ex-Hibs star by insisting he’s ready to sack players next season if they take O’Connor’s lead by not getting their fitness up to scratch.He said: “Players get paid irrespective of how they play. That’s something I’m addressing. In future what I’ll be doing is getting a fitness company to take a player and judge him at the beginning.“Then if I wasn’t satisfied after four or five weeks I would send him back to this place to see if his fitness levels had measurably improved.“If they hadn’t, then he could be freed.“During the window in January you’ve only got the players no one else wants or the ones creeping back into the game from injury.“There’s only one window that is worthwhile for signings and that is in July. It’s the only one that counts.“No club is going to give away good players. Unless you are paying money for players you are only going to get the dregs.”Rae also vigorously defended his decision to slash this season’s budget in the face of fan criticism and blamed the supporters for not getting behind the side.He said: “Do I not have the right to reduce the budget? I certainly do. I own the club and I run the club.“Last season we lost over £200,000. Am I just to repeat that?“Who’s going to pick up the bill? Me. And I’m not going to run the club with large losses.“Our budget is still the fourth biggest in the league. I heard I had reduced it by 50 per cent – that’s a joke! It really is a joke. It was reduced by about 10 per cent.“The supporters have got themselves to blame. The average gates last year were appalling.“The fans have always said: ‘Give us a good team and we’ll support it.’ Where were they? Our average gate when we were in the Second Division was 2,860.“Our average gate at the minute is 1,751. Look at the loss – for each game that’s 1,000 people. Call it an average of £10 per person, With 20 home games, there’s your £200,000.“It was unsustainable to keep the budget as it and I’m not rolling my money down a drain.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,861 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Him and Riordan don't deserve the talent they have.Both of them could have been 20 goals a season strikers for either of the old firm but they pissed it up against the wall by never applying themselves properly.

Guys like this are only in football for money and to live a life of a teenager till they get too old or in this case past it before their time.It's as you say a total waste of what was a promosing talent.
