    Nothing OTT about it. He was performing excellently before he wad sent off. Sir Bobby still has plenty to offer as a player, Keef would be a fool to discard him. You may not think so, I do.

    So you don't consider Redfearn to be a legend either. That says a lot about your view of Barnsley players.

    Didn't Rimmo pick Bobby at right back in his best XI? Enough said.

    I always had you down as Hemsworth's age. I don't go in for this 'legends' nonsense, but if you think Ronnie Glavin is the only player worth celebrating you must have been asleep for several seasons!!

    And define 110%, please.

    yes but thats gone. Hassell 3 years ago was a good footballer, Now. Not so.

    whos the better right back of 17 September 2012.

    Robert Hassell or John Stones. I would and i think Keith Hill would say John Stones.
    Would Norman pick Stones in that team? no.

    Stop living in the past, its September 2012. Hes 32 years old and not 27 anymore.

    Stones is not going to start every match Hemsworth, don't fool yourself - he's a young lad who is still growing physically and mentally. Hassell will be heavily involved whether you like it or not, he is one of the few players with bags of experience at this level and will be very important to our season. He is also very important to the development of John Stones and the players who have stepped up from the lower leagues.

    Sir Bob is more than a RB. I don't even think it is his best position. He played DM in his last game, which is all you can go on. He performed admirably in that role. He was excellent 2 weeks ago, he was 32 then too.

    I think Hemsworth just needs to learn more about football, he's still very naive.

    I have watched Bobby Hassell for 9 years, and John Stones for about 9 games.

    I have been very impressed with Hassell over that 9 year period. After a tricky start to his Oakwell career, he has since gone on to prove his worth to 99% of Reds supporters, and 5 different managers.

    I have been very impressed with Stones over a 9 game period. After a bright start to his Oakwell career, he seems to be highly rated by both the one manager he's played under, and the entire BFC fanbase.

    I don't have the stats to hand, but I know that Stones has played right back every time he's appeared this season, and he's scored one goal, with his head.

    Again, off the top of my balding head, I know that Hassell has appeared in a few games this season, in various positions (including goalkeeper where he saved our skin), and scored one goal, with his head.

    In summary, I feel we have two very good players.

    Redfearn was a very very good player. Butthe word Legend is far to easily thrown about.

    For me Glavin was the best player i have ever had the honour to watching playing for us, Hence i would place slightly above Redfearn but Its a close run thing.

    So, you don't class the goalscoring midfielder that captained us to the Premier League for the first and only time in our history as a legend? The same player who was the top goalscorer for midfielders in the Premier League that season we were there? The same player that was with us for seven years, scoring 84 goals?

    Ok then.

    Of course he does, but it didn't fit with the bobby bashing.
