If it becomes McLeish vs the players he will lose. We can't afford a whole new team for a start. He's in a weak position because he has no pedigree and the fans (on the whole) don't like/rate him.

You only have to look at coverage of the riots last summer to see how too much information is a dangerous thing. Or rather, the idiots with access to creating it are dangerous.

You really fell hook line and sinker for that 'BBM and Twitter made the riots happen' bullshit didnt you?

They'd have happened anyway. Twitter was a scapegoat

If you don't believe that these forms of modern day communication did not accelerate and tactically mobilise the riots then you are sadly mistaken.

It's not about 'falling for' anything. The amount of disinformation and lies spread by Twitter and other social networking sites while the riots were taking place was immoral and dangerous.

Hence the number of arrests and convictions for incitement via the social network media.

Unfortunately, many of the problems were caused by people who weren't breaking any laws.

Let's see if his latest N'Zogism gets as much fuss:

Football goes up and down, massive challenge for me. What doesn't kill u make u stronger !! I have learned from it!

While it's good news he is feeling better.. I guess. It also seems like he is under the perception that he almost died?!

I bet more was spread via text message and word of mouth on the street. Riots happened before twitter etc but its much easier to prove a tweet happened than a text message or word of mouth. As its all open and easy to view.

but anyway, this isnt a topic about the riots.

It's quite simple players should be banned from using Twitter during the playing season, it can be easily policed by the clubs.

There's an old expression that goes something like "There's no smoke without fire!"

My biggest fear is not that McLeish has lost the players, but that the board will do nothing about it! (assuming they even notice, that is)

Worrying!

We're not talking about tabloids here though Dave, but point taken!

Twitter's here to stay, so we/ the clubs/ society had better get used to it. I really hope Barton goes down for contempt of court though. Both he and Twitter deserve it.

The thing about twitter is that its from the horses mouth so to speak. So when Nzog says, First time in my life im not happy playing football !!! You know its from him and word for word. If it appeared in a tabloid there would be doubt as to whether it was even said.
