He joined us on our
League of Ireland Podcast to expand on that view.
"I had 18 months left on my contract. I'm not going to ask to leave to go anywhere," he said.
"All that rubbish"
"So that wasn't the case and the bid was accepted by the club. As far as I'm concerned, that's just how I saw it.
"I don't want to go into too much detail and start stirring some more pots. That 'I said, he said, she said', all that rubbish. I sent that tweet for a reason, just to defend myself.
"Because I've had some good times here at Rovers. Everyone that knows me would know that I've never thought I'm bigger than anybody. Let alone a club. I could never think I'm bigger than Shamrock Rovers. Of course, I never portrayed that. I genuinely did love playing for Shamrock Rovers and got a lot of love from the fans."
He added that transfer movement were a normal part of football.
"This opportunity came to me and the club accepted the bid from Apollon Limassol. So yes, my time at Rovers was up I guess," he said.
Carr also said the "only disappointment was that I never got to win any silverware" at Rovers.
He also acknowledged that Bradley "helped me during my time" at the club.
"Which was a bit surprising hearing of his comments," Dan Carr continued.
"It was actually a friend that told me about the comments. When I learned of it, I said, 'What?' It's quite disappointing, to be honest. I'm not having that. Sorry, I'm not and I have to defend myself."
But he also thanked the fans for their support in the wake of the comments.
