Most liked posts in thread: Kian Harratt

Surely someone from the club occasionally keeps an eye on the players social media posts? Especially when they are as public as his settings are.

It's not like he posted once on that Facebook group, he was doing if often and even as recently as 2 or 3 weeks back, fully knowing he had a court date set for his idiotic behaviour.

 

Maybe so. I just think clubs are a lot more sensitive and conscious of fans reactions about players past demeanours now.

Its not like he is an established mature player. He has had quite a few loans spells already, and not exactly established himself yet.

Put it this way, I very much doubt we would have signed him if we had have known about his barbaric hobby

 

We are surrounded by Hares, the nearest location is some 4 minutes walk. They are absolutely fabulous creatures to watch on a harsh frosty winters morning.

 

He’s reacted by doing it again pending his court appearance. Once chance , fine but to do it again is stupidity first class. He can go and no later than today.

 

I'm not sure the general public would agree with you. A stupid decision at that age could be a drunken brawl on a night out, a speeding offence, use of recreational drugs etc all of which probably would be accepted and not considered career threatening. Consciously going out to cause animal cruelty (repeatedly) in the nation of animal lovers that we are is on a par with child abuse and other more serious offences and I'm not sure, for this reason any club will want to be tarnished by his name and past offending.

 

Cancelling the loan was really the only thing to do -- let him be Huddersfield's problem.

Where he goes from here who knows? He's been convicted and fined, so that should be the end of the matter...but then he appears to have carried on with his activities regardless. In general I'm all in favour of people getting second chances, but I expect to see that lessons have been learned, and that the second chance is not being wasted.

RCB

 

Scores for Town today.

Warnock, as expected, doing a great job, he's going to keep them up unfortunately, isn't he

 

Or, the rest have been shite all season and Warnock has decided to give a few minutes to a young, homegrown lad to add energy and boost the feel good factor?

I think everyone is reading way too much into this. If he's played 25 games next season then fine, he's made his mark but after a couple of late sub appearances? Not for me.

 

Good sign

 

I've just remembered that when Sparks was interviewed a couple of weeks ago and he was saying how pleased they were with how recruitment was going so far, he mentioned there was at least one signing that was dependent on the outcome of games that were still to be played. I'm guessing Kian is one of those because had Vale stayed down, I reckon he'd have gone back to them.

 

And an Ponte lad as well mate, you'll be able to translate for us .



Love it especially kissing the badge legend status already, if he is as good as Lewis O'Brien I be happy.

 

You got the Gary part right

 

Absolutely Jon, I know Walker and Songo’o are there but I believe we really need the 28-30 year old real “old head” in the middle of the defence or CM just to knit the younger players together . If this team , when finalised “ clicks” I can only see the team spirit boom.

 

Theres a few assumptions in his dad's post and I'd like to think Sparky picks players on merit rather than being leaned on by the parent club of a loan player.

 

I can't see Hughes, Gent, or Sparks putting their names to such a deal.

 

I’d never sell our two Labradors, no matter the problem. Part of the family!

 

So, in a nutshell, a young lad is not happy about not playing - seems reasonable to me.

 

That's all true. Missing the chance of selection for 3 matches due to a lack of self control didn't help either.

 

Seriously ..you think a players parent warrants input … Harratt ain’t 12! If my parent did that to me at his age I’d curl up in a ball . Carry on like this and I’d send him back. Let the manager do his job…That’s what we pay him for.
