news from Moseley (new car/Twitter chat)

To know that you must either be a stalker and/or have so little going on in your life you have to follow the lives of others.

Far from us casting judgements on him or wondering if he can justify what he's doing, I wanna hear more from Ade ;-)

Absolutely.

This from people from people who spend time every day on a football fan's forum (a form of social networking funnily enough).

By the way Twitter feed on forum home page. :shock:

Ade, I couldn't give a f**k. In fact, if you've got a moment, if Lucy Pinder was covered in baby oil, legs akimbo under a giant neon sign saying charity f**k giving collection, please give generously..........I still couldn't give one.

Why don't you get on twitter and try to understand it ferchristsakes? Call it research and educate yourself. They say empty vessels make the loudest noise - you moan despite not using it, yet for some reason feel passionately compelled to moan every.single.time. twitter is mentioned. What do you even know about twitter that makes you hate it so much?

You keep mentioning stalking. It's not stalking. It's not facebook. Twitter is a public platform forfans to connect with people that interest them, and for public figures to connect with their fans. The players could lock their tweets and verify each follower, but Summerfield is the only player I've known to do that. The rest enjoy having their thoughts read, retweeted and passed on.

What an utterly pointless thread , is this what they call trolling?

 

[greenmarc]

I was a bit concerned by that tweet though. It seemed to imply that he had been given the car via a sponsorship deal because he thanked the garage in a way that you wouldn't do if you had simply gone in and handed over your own money to buy a car. So that got me thinking. Do players at League 1/2 levels get perks like cars from sponsors. I really, really hope the answer is no.

I remember Tynan had a sponsored Yugo, most on here won't even know what that is.

Impressive or was it google,
Think the model Tommy endorsed was the very underrated 45, one of the Worst cars ever made.

 

[tigertony]

Argyle squad get sponsored cars - ''Lada's'' :lol:
So - what do you call a Skoda convertible ??

These days you'd call a Skoda convertible a really excellent car but somehow I suspect you were thinking of a different answer...

A skip !! :lol:

(but you are right Skoda's are now very well thought of)

What, educate myself as to what cars and phones the worst collection players ever to have (dis)graced the shirt of Plymouth Argyle have?

People who wish to share with the world the mundanities of their daily life should, in my opinion, be locked up. If a man waked down the street randomly telling passing strangers what car he was driving or that he was really excited about his new phone people would say "that's nice dear", quicken their pace and put as much distance between themselves and him as possible. The only thing that causes more bewilderment to me than the unprovoked sharing of one's life with people they don't know................are people who actually have even the most remote or passing interest in such vaccuous triviality :shock:

I see Facebook and Twitter as a form of online dating agency for saddos. In an intentionally patronising kind of way it's actually quite sweet that people with this form of compulsive social tourettes now have an audience of like minded individuals who actually SEEK this kind of mind numbing triviality, i'm glad you've found each other, really I am.

It's interupting the normal functions of life. The lives of people afflicted by this disease are now pre-occupied, not content with getting on with their own lives to the best of their ability they're spending their lives following the lives of others, WTF? It goes on at work, on the train, in the queue at the Post Office, everwhere. Everywhere people are checking their phones hanging on the pathetic minute by minute updated lives of strangers or 'friends' they never bother to actualy see or speak to in REAL LIFE. I bet before long when 'sufferers' meet up in person they'll soon lack the social skills to have a verbal conversation and just sit in silence checking facetw@tter for the updates of strangers or other 'friends' that aren't there :facepalm:

I forget the name now but there's a very sharp and clever film about a bloke who gets cryogenically frozen and is accidentally awoken centuries later to discover that his once very average IQ now makes him the cleverest person in the whole world. Over time the world just became incredibly thick, trivial and incompetent...........well folks, mark my words it starts with facetw@tter. People aren't working properly, aren't socialising properly and aren't interacting as human beings have interacted through evolution, aren't busying themselves with discovery or pushing the boundaries of science. Newton wouldn't have worked out gravity if tw@tter was about "OMG an apple just landed on my head LOL" followed by "Samuel Pepys Likes this".

It's empty headed IQ sapping nonsense and it'll be the ruin of mankind, if you can't see the problem.......you are the problem.

Heck I'm just offering the facetw@tterati the red pill, i'm Morphius to your Neo, lying as you are in a vat of mucus happily living in your artificial reality. And yet every time, some chump who doesn't 'get it' tells my there's a hypocricy to my provision of this vital public service because I post on a messageboard. No. there is a world of difference between discussing the trials and tribulations of a football team with folk who have a mutually shared interest and sharing with you what colour pants i'm wearing. People have discussed and debated things since the dawn of civilisation, the internet just provides a modern platform for exactly what Plato and Socrates were doing in ancient Greece. However people have only started sharing or seeking with the whole world the drunken photos of themselves at the office party or the typre of cereal they had for breakfast or the fact they've got a new car, or the fact they are 'in a relationship' since mankind started disappearing up it's own hoop with it's obsession with social media.

.......Now, for those of you whose attention span ran out at 140 characters, take the blue pill........"left nut itchy #sandinthespeedos" :roll:

Some of the players do indeed use it to talk to each other, though very rarely do they give the minutae of details about going out for food at restaurants, etc. As if anyone cares, and most people don't. Hemmings was probably the worst for that.

But then I remember Paris Cowan Hall when he first moved to Plym - he used twitter for feedback on a new place an estate agent was taking him. It was only through replies of Argyle fans (that he had never performed infront of) that he quickly learned North Road West wasn't the nicest place to live, even if you do have the penthouse flat. And he found somewhere else on the back of it.

There's the banter on there. Darren Purse put a photo of Guy Madjo's shoes he turned up to training in, bright blue with tassles. It was funny. There was no equivalent of that ten years ago, unless you personally knew the captain and he showed you a kodak of it. It's not totally sad, just a small insight into the dynamics of the dressing room.

Then there's all the serious stuff. We found out through a seemingly innoccuous tweet that MacDonald has had an offer from Bradford. Players tell us themselves if they're fit, injured, in or out etc. Although I don't think it makes for good journalism, the media is now increasingly dependent on twitter for reliable uptodate news breaks.

You make a parody of Socrates or Plato on twitter, tweeting 'LOL wearing blue pants' etc. You can infact get the tweets of philosophers on twitter - their finest words of widsom condensed into 140 characters.

As I say, get on there and it will open your eyes. At the very least it will end your stubborn and ignorant opinion that everyone on twitter only tweet to update on the colour of their pants. And what they're eating. Who in reality does this?

 

[Deacster]

Haha harsh but fair.

 

[ejh]

Two ironies there. 1) That pic was probably created, shared and made popular by social media (twitter & fb) 2) That quote is unattributed, Einstein almost certainly never said that (another problem with modern social media, some kids get a little over creative sometimes).
