Bloody Hell Tel - Use Your Loaf Not Your Todge

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

But he used the hashtag "firstdates".

Surely you have seen programmes come on these days where the hashtag appears at the bottom of the screen prompting people to talk about the programme they're watching on twitter?

Yeah but how many people read the small print?

Anyway - I'm just deflecting shit away from our Nige cos he has an important game to think about on Satdi
Tactics, formations, opposition, fickle fans - the lot.

He was given the largest set of squad cards to work with the other day - a bit like them FIFA one's but cardboard, like. The pack was really too large for his small hands and he realises that given the context of the season it's a lot to deal with.

I hate hashtags when they are used in the wrong place but the other day in Barnsley I saw some graffiti that said "Dan sucks dick #gay" and thought it was fantastic.

Now I'm not proclaiming to be a social media (in particular Twitter) whizz, but since when has a pint glass meant sex?

I think the people taking it out of context are the people who haven't looked at it properly (regardless of whether they knew what First Date was).

Harmless IMO.

Exactly. All he was saying is that he'd rather go out and get sozzled with a bird than have an awkward 'getting to know you' first date.

I'd never heard of the TV programme so it read terribly to me. But even with the knowledge that I'd misunderstood it, the re-read still ain't too clever.

1, drunken romance and SUFC? No comment.

2, booze loving footballers? FFS Tel, my knees ache after a night on the beer. How about yours?

That's next week's phone-in on Radio Sheffield sorted.

"Blades player Terry Kennedy posted a tweet that could be interpreted as unsavoury. Wednesday fans, why not phone in and tell us what YOU think"

 

[DI36O]

How does any of that tweet imply he's going to have sex, even before you realise #firstdates is a tv programme and take back your misplaced assumptions?

Even still, I suppose they do need social media training simply because there are (evidently) no end of people ready to press the big red Shit The Bed button before taking the time to understand what people are saying. It's like people developed their critical faculties mainly through reading tabloid gossip columns - find the most explosive possible interpretation and run with it.

Most of the top clubs will provide that sort of training/guidance as they increasingly have policies on how players should conduct themselves so as not to bring the club into disrepute. I'd be amazed if we didn't have something like that in place alongside the general media training provided given the number of the squad that engage on Twitter, the fact that key members of the board also engage on Twitter, and given past examples involving United where we've had issues (Connor Brown for example).

If this teaches us anything, it's that twitter really is the pile of bollocks many of us suspect it to be.

It's great if you have information to disseminate quickly to large numbers of people (though of course that only works if you can make in intelligible, and they can understand it), for everyone else it's a fucking pointless bullshit fountain; who wants to spout it? And who wants to dance in it?

Exactly.

I wonder if they say to the young lads "... And I can't reiterate enough, whatever you do, never, ever, ever even think about tweeting about a TV programme - under any circumstances"

This thread is the modern day version of curtain twitching with Dazzler and Ken talking over the fence like a pair of old housewives. "Ooh dazzler, you'll never guess what young Tel said the other day. Always knew he was a wrong un"

I think that a look in the members most posts league will tell us who the person is that spends most time talking over the fence

Besides, I just can't see me and Dazzler in pinnies and rollers.
Well, I can imagine Darren in them but probably not in the same circumstances as you have described
