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

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.

It's not always the 'sad hangers on' that do the friends requests Sally.

I have received friends requests from a couple of players, who must have seen me on the people you may know option due to mutual 'friends'!!!

I can understand if you're single wanting to add girls you don't know, if they're fit or just have that look about them. But why would you accept requests from lads when you have no idea who they are.

Some people seem to want to have as many Facebook "friends" as possible, like its some kind of competition. A girl I know from school has about 500 friends on there, when in real life she probably knows a handful of them. We used to call her "the olympic flame" because she never went out.

Thats just cracked me up

Its exactly how I feel about my own life right now, think im gonna change my user name

It's up to the players. If they want their privite life on Facebook then so be it, it's up to them not us.

You mates with Bridge then Kloe

Stalker.

I suppose some blokes do like the status of minor celebrity, and social networking is a way of doing a bit of showing off and hooking up with girls. A couple of the more attractive girls I know from uni are facebook friends with DJs or blokes who play in bands, these guys send them messages if they're up in town along the lines of "hey babez, hope ya behavin playin a gig at such and such next weekend, you best be there " Their intention is to arrange a facebook meeting with the girl and hopefully get more, they're hoping the girl is going to be excited and impressed that a low level celeb is messaging them and will be up for it.

It's no different from the lonely young lads who use social networking sites to add random girls trying to get internet dates, but they're more likely to get a response if they are low level celebs. Isn't that what Keith Senior did to arrange to meet up with that woman in Aus?

It does look naff though, I can't imagine Adrian Morley sat at his computer sending facebook pokes to randomers he's never met.

I think Bailey or Hall had Bebo a few years ago under the Smith Reign at Leeds

I dont get why people add people who they dont know

Whats the point as your not gonna chat to them or ewt
