Absolutely - I think it should be encouraged, but there needs to be some rules applied - generally those involving common sense (appreciate that some players are not always too gifted in this department! )

The whole twitter / facebook thing just does my head in, in short if you would not say it to a person face to face dont say it hiding under a net alias, or at least be big enough so apologise if you stuff up!

In short I dont give a stuff what hickey does this week, he can be drinking every single day and night so long as on game days he performs, at present he isnt performing, so he will be rightly critisised.

Not at all - I've been very public about my distaste for this kind of thing; I think it shows the individuals and the organisations they represent in a very poor light. I've said that many times, so you know I don't condone it.

BUT

The genie is out of the bottle - everyone's Twattering and Poking each other all over the place, so if you choose to engage in that form of communication directly with a player, and throw some fairly personal insults at him to boot, it's a bit rich to play the wounded soldier if he responds in a similar fashion.

For mine, the club should have an official Twitter feed that is updated several times per day on player news, club info etc and the players and staff should stay well away; if they must insist on mass communication, make them a private message board or somesuch, so they can all tell each other when they've been to Nandos, or bought some new flip-flops.

I just don't know how you get the genie back in the bottle.

Yep its for girls mate.

Like you say he can do what he likes but if he turns up looking like pregnant pig then he can have it for me.

I must admit, it does strike me as a medium that is best suited to teenage girls, not big tough RL players.

yeah agreed, grown men should have better things to do than post drivel on the net about their every thoughts on random subjects and events.

Oh hang on...

I am literally salivating. Mmmmmmm

If you mean the players, I totally agree.

Get real. You address your issues to your team mates and coaches; you let the club communicate properly with the fans.

My thoughts exactly - it's never edifying, interesting or informative; at it's best, it's just dull.

An official WTW Twitter feed would do the job, the rest is just noise.

Was it the girls or pregnant pigs that did it for you?

Quite disgusting of the fitness of Hickey ... He has been waiting all this time for his visa and has done nothing at all to get him self fit ... That said, Kear should not be playing him tho i cant imagine they would have signed him had they known how unfit he was ?? Send him home - waste of time if hes only gonna play 20 mins a match and i dont think ive seen a slower player on a pitch !!

and this is when NGB4C comes in with Blaymire
