All are permitted to do as they please regarding sites in the likes of fb & such, i guess it just depends how professional & personal people chose to keep it (especially players). To keep out of any controversy, it doesn’t require much common sense to not allow access to your profile, etc to anyone you don’t wish. If they chose to add comments & such that are sure to get a bad reaction – like everyone, they’d have to deal with it!

Whilst I accept they are free to do it, in my view, it is incredibly stupid and is asking for trouble. In fact, it's tantamount to booking a courier and sending it to see trouble with a big sign saying 'Hello Trouble, I am asking for you'.

Actually everyone isn't entitled to do what they like if an employer puts it in their terms of employment that an employee must not use the internet or social networking site to discuss anything to do with their work.
I know for a fact the local council have stopped all employees using discussion forums during work time.

They have also banned certain sectors from being on Facebook full stop in or out of work.

My work sent a memo round ages ago about being careful what you say but luckily for me i work with a load of old women who arent tech-savvy. Still wouldnt be stupid enough put something obviously slagging off work though.

On a side note i hear down the grapevine (not naming names) but a large DIY specialist has banned customers from using their toilets as "gloryholes" have been found in the mens cubicles and videos posted on a "tube of naughtyness".

That's the belter that one, care to mention which DIY store, for research purposes only of course

It is up to the players; they are not public property although some people on here seem to forget that.

No can do for reasons stated further up the thread

Correct, and looking at some of our players' profiles, that has been enforced at the club. Some don't even mention who their employer is, or what they do.

After the Chris Bridge debacle in pre-season, I'm not surprised

Which is the common sense & privacy part!!

Players being on facebook and adding their mates is fine, the rest of the world has facebook so they're no different. What I can't understand is why the players feel obliged to add these sad hangers on who want to add them as friends? They should just reject them.
