Absolutely, deserved all that the law threw at them. Trouble is that's nowhere near enough these days. Granted we all make mistakes but I have no time for people that don't learn from them and if this latest allegation about Harratt is true then he's a nasty piece of work in my opinion. Well, apart from Ronnie - he was acquitted wasn’t he? I remember a lot of us being disgusted by Hammill and Morrison (who left soon after, I think?), who were clearly “punching down” to say the least in the case of Hammill. Bullock, I’ll grant, was given plenty of leeway and Yorath’s alcohol issues and the reason behind them don’t forgive his drink driving but make it a little more complicated. To be honest, I’m not keen on someone who causes pain and worse to animals. Whether they play for Town or not, they are irredeemable bastards. Got to look at each situation individually and probably as a club delve into the circumstances and find out if the individual is trying to change. Terry Yoraths son died probably would have most folk turning to some form of escapism. |

I like venison - (and not that mullet wearer called Barry) - perhaps Kian could earn a few quid on the side selling prime cuts on a stall outside the main entrance on match day while he bangs 20 odd goals for us next season.... Half time entertainment - Terry the Terrier v a whippet to see who is quickest over 20 yards..... Maybe a new line of tonsorial tonic water called "Hare today Badger tomorrow" Sadly Kian you are fcked pal and on your way out of HTAFC I like venison too but I often find it a little deer 😜 |

Given the dressing room issues we seem to have had this season gone, and Kevin Nagle wanting to make a good impression in a new country, I would be surprised if Kian could survive another problem. As of now the club have obviously decided to stick by him and try and help him sort his issues, which, to me, is a positive thing for them to do. Let's see how, and if, he develops under MD, if that is the plan.

Seems to me like he's a product of his upbringing, probably difficult to see the wrong in something you've been told is ok for so long.

Sadly he's not good enough to keep been a knob and stay within professional football. Totally ruined his opportunity and probably end up in non league trying to work his way back up if he ever wakes up.

Says as much about you as it does him if that's your attitude. If all that matters is a football club benefitting from having a nasty piece of work like that in your ranks then it's a sorry state of affairs. Pathetic comment. I’m honestly not looking for an argument but i find the fact you’d bin a player off for daft/twatish behaviour pathetic. If Helik does something equally as stupid this summer do i want to see his contract cancelled and leave on a free? Anyone who answers yes to that can’t think much of Huddersfield Town or view us as some moral guardian for the entire area. I can want a player to do well for my club without actually liking them. Again, IF the latest revelation is true and you think that taking pleasure in watching dogs rip a deer to shreds is merely daft or twatish behaviour then it speaks volumes about yourself. Your comments are unbelievable. IMO anyone who puts Huddersfield Town above behaviour like that has some serious issues. |

You might be right in that i’ve got my priorities all wrong but i just want us to win. Jonathan Hogg’s brother really is a “nasty piece of work” is he ok to stand by him or is that beyond our moral code? Obviously many disagree but all i care about Huddersfield Town players are that they are good at football. |

When he was caught gambling there was somebody on here suggesting that he should be in the last chance saloon, and I was inclined to agree even at the time. If the club is now serious about sorting out the off-field issues surrounding professionalism then doubly so.
However I'd prefer to see a bit more evidence than an anonymous post on an internet message board before seeing him hung, drawn and quartered. Find out what (if anything!) has happened & take it from there.
Even if what has been claimed is true, there is so much missing information that drawing any conclusions at this stage is absurd.

Seen them all play for the 1st team and I'd argue not much between them. Hudlin has 1 in 9 and haratt 2 in 20. Hudlin is the worst player I've ever seen in a Town shirt. Harratt is nowhere near that. Did you not see Michael Williams or Kwami Hodouto? |

Anybody who is 6'9" and does not practice and practice to be a good header of a football should give up being a professional footballer. Doesn't put himself either. Not sure he is the worst footballer I have seen at Town because I have seen the odd nice touch, but undoubtedly one of the most frustrating to watch, because he doesn't use his physical attributes to anywhere the full extent. |

I do agree though, he's shown some decent touches and his finishing is pretty good. I'd let him go. He could be a great asset to someone in Lg2. I've seen a few players here over the years though that I wouldn't want in the National League. |

Williams really was astonishingly bad. I thought he was turning up all Bertie Big Bollocks, too up his own atse to try - but given how the rest of his career went I think he was just THAT shit. Even the player we accidentally signed from Emley (because his brother was quite good) looked head and shoulders above him. |

None-too-shabby record at that level, but he certainly shouldn't be any higher. We took a punt, it hasn't worked out. His signing and subsequent use has been symptomatic of our season: just not good enough. We should be looking to shake hands and move him on quickly. |

He only managed 141 minutes on loan at Burton in League 1 with no goals or assists so he doesn't seem to be progressing. The younger ones who have been good are the ones who have done well on loan, Headley at Harrogate & Spencer at Motherwell spring to mind. |

I'm not saying he's great, just think it's difficult to asses him based on the fact when we have seen him he'd be playing up top alone and expected to press the back line. It's just never going to work. Not saying he'll ever be championship level or even league one, but he could be effective if played in a system that actually suits him. Can't comment on his time at Burton, no idea what style or system they play. |

Lucas Jutkiewicz or however you spell it for example. |

Trevoh Chalobah was bang average until the almost entire season midfield experiment was abandoned, and then he was great, although I didn't think he would progress like he did. |

Closest was Watford, where let's say he made the absolute most of his limited quality. He worked very hard and held up the ball well. Nowhere near the level required though and doesn't seem to have progressed in his 2 seasons here. Was worth a try, or would've been if we backed it up with signing a proven striker alongside him, rather than waiting 3 months til we got relegated. |
