I still didn't see him as the rock or the glue.

More so than Binks surely?

He's not perfect by any means, but he and Thomas at times had a good partnership last season and we haven't really seen it this season.

I thought he did pretty well against Sunderland but we haven't seen him since...

Won't Kitching be brought back for the Sheff Wed cup tie - need to have a Fury v Usyk rematch with Barnard or whatever that Wednesday lump was called.

He'll be back on Thursday. It is Boxing day after all...

Don’t see the problem re Kitching. We are desperate for a bit of aggression at the back.

 

[Shannerz]

Why are people now so incapable of spelling Kitchings surname correctly?

Or of acknowledging the existence of possessive apostrophes.

Yes but Luke Kitchen? Forget my obsessive catastrophes or whatever it is you wrote

If we’re going with Kitchen at least he’s a unit.

I was once told a story about Ian Wallace from guy who worked at the club for years if it was true then it was not great,.

Not sure if the same thing, but I'd heard before that he used to knock his Mrs about and was a bit of a drunk by all accounts, but hard for me to swallow as he was my first real hero and I only knew football back then.

Fairly sure he's an alcoholic though he's been sober for many years

 

[Cally Fedora]

That’s the point though isn’t it? We’ve probably cheered on all manner of miscreants. We’re only really interested in what goes on on the pitch - and so we should be

We have had a lot of bad boys over the years. There was a goal keeper who did the offie at the bottom of our road. May have been Arthur Lightning but don't want to besmirch his good name if it was someone else. Ian Gibson, Noel Whelan and David Speedie were a bit of a management nightmare. Cyril Regis before he found God had his arm broken by a local guy for sleeping with his wife. Davenport lost his career when he was attacked. Even George Curtis would not hold back on triallists and in friendlies when ordered to do so.
An on form Kitchen would have been welcome in that sort of game at Portsmouth. Unfortunately,like several players at the moment, he seems to be going backwards.

I knew the bloke that sorted Regis out really well,he's no longer with us.

It wasn’t his wife it was another woman and a car accident and Hill paid the woman a lot of money to keep it quiet as she was very badly hurt. No idea if it was true but he was said it was.

A c-unit by all accounts....

If we can sign King and fans sing a song basically exonerating his crimes then having a lad at the back who likes a fight is nothing compared to that disgusting individual

Currently on holiday and have met a long standing Barsley season ticket holder.
He seems to know people within the club, and a mate who works for Derby.
Said Kitchen is an all round bad lad, from a bad lot.
Family of boxers, brother currently in prison for violence. And said Kitchen was arrested in Barnsley about a year ago, out with his mates and involved in a town centre fight.
All hushed up and no charges against him because of who he is.
Said we were mad to pay £4.25 M and he hasn’t found anyone yet who thinks we weren’t duped into paying over the odds.
Said Collins is L1 keeper at best.
Rated Thomas as good stopper, as long as he has somebody good alongside him to organise things.
I know it’s all shit that we have heard before, but he seems to know his football.
Oh and said we must be mad for sacking Robins.

I very highly doubt a League One footballer at the time had that much sway lol

Fans moral compass sways on how the player performs on the pitch.

Spot on. Remember the Marlon King debate.

Yep-doesn’t mean that we have to invite them to our BBQ.
