The Twitter Thread

[Ayatollah Hermione 13863]

Aye, well, it just makes you look stupid. There's nothing fun about random made up transfer rumours, man. Surely you've grown out of getting excited about being linked with whoever the papers/twitter bullshitters can pluck out of thin air by now?

[Christmas Tree 4725]

I think more of us are concerned about those who were are going to be (or stand a chance of) signing rather than the pie in the sky shite that some bellend has thought up. Where's the fun in that?

 

You've finally got something right - genuine transfer news WILL appear on twitter first. But it'll be the likes of Caulkin, Bird, Winter, etc. who'll break it - not some doilum who's fucking guessing.

 

Watching twitter is not your problem, it's the fucking idiots you're following man! Suggest Toontastic_1892 will be just as accurate as the one you're following

 

 

Seriously Craig they are all old hat with regard to up to date news. I cant remember the last time one of those "broke" a story. Can you?

 

Trust me, its not the local journos getting the stories.

 

Take Cabaye for instance, some random searching the internet saw it on a french website and posted it. 4 days later it was the Sunday Suns exclusive.

[Christmas Tree 4725]

@Toontastic1892 is now posting this just for fun.

 

#nufc Newcastle and Wigan are in advanced discussions over N`Zogbia fee.

 

#nufc Here comes the clever bit 9m asking fee to be reduced as NUFC are owed money by Wigan in relation to sell on fee if player is sold!

[Mac-Toon 1]

Toontastic1892 is a joke. @msidouglas @simonbirdmirror are the ones to break and confirm.

 

@iainmacintosh is a very good writer. Got about 20,000 followers and for some reason he follows me. Been talking about Cabaye and Erdinç tonight. He thinks Erdinç is A good player but been off the boil past year. These are the people who know their stuff, not 19 year old kids sat on their mothers knee tappin' out bullshit stories.

 

Thought you could see past that, CT? Why not create an account mate?

I refer you to my earlier point re Cabaye. @msidouglas broke it as an "exclusive" 4 days after some kid broke the story on twitter after looking at french websites.

 

As Stevie has been saying for months, Twitter is a news revolution that normal media just cant keep up with.

 

Me or you spot Teves in a black cab pulling into the Gosforth Park and the word is spread around thousands in minutes.

Depends on your definition of breaking a story. Yours is evidently a case of who said it first, regardless of their source. It's the equivalent of my mate who told me before Euro 96 that we would sign Shearer before the summer was out. He didn't know anything it was simply a 'pie in the sky' comment with no foundation. Doesn't mean he broke the story to me.

 

It's the manner in which you post it too. You're saying now that it's all a bit of fun yet when you're posting it, you're jizzing yourself at the idea that it's ITK and you're the first to mention it on Toontastic. Whoopie-fucking-doooo! All that's serving to give credence is the consensus who believe you've been following football only for a couple of years may well be right.

 

Seriously, concentrate on your next fare rather than reading some of the garbage on Twitter. Would hate to think you didn't achieve your £50K salary this year...

[Dr Gloom 21915]

I agree to a point CT. Problem is more than half the "news" broken on twitter regarding transfers is bullshit. The law of averages means some of it will be accurate but most will be fluff. Bit like the transfer speculation reported by tabloids for years really. Only difference being the numpties on twitter aren't getting paid.

You are so Mongtastic at times Craig it seriously does beggar belief.

 

I should just ignore your weak attempts at humour but hey ho, its nearly bedtime so lets have a go....

 

When a random reads a french website, then twitters the breaking story which gathers pace all day and is finally revealed as a Sunday Sun exclusive four days later, that tweeter gets the credit for breaking the story. That is totally different kettle of fish of what you and your mate fantasised about during a long hot summer.

 

Next....Im "jizzing myself".... "its all propaganda" ......" like a dog with two dicks".........

 

Im posted the following.....

Erdinc bid accepted according to twitter.

.....If thats your idea of me Jizzing myself

 

Then you say....

If it's that doilum cwarr07 then it's likely bollocks

This the same Cwarr07 you follow and you posted about less than a week ago here....

Exactly and we've all grown up reading it, getting excited, having a laugh, dreaming and hoping. Part of football and harmless fun.

 

And just like the tabloids you can just read it with a pinch of salt and move on.

[Tom 14011]

cwarr07 coming out with it again......

 

That implies Cwarrrr07 is talking shite rather than the opposite.

Fucking hell man, anyone else and I'd think they were simply taking the piss but I reckon you truly did miss the context of my "...coming out with it again" comment.

 

For the benefit of the simplistic lard you've got in that skull of yours, I'll spell it out. I was pointing out that he was reeling more bullshit!

He does. He's just furiously back-peddling now we're all taking the piss out of him.

#nufc close to announcing next signing, news/announcement expected this evening

Oh dear

 

I refer you to my earlier comment craig. Get yourself out and get a life.....quickly

[Craig 6682]

I refer you back to the extreme ironing link from earlier...

[Christmas Tree 4725]

Tell you what Craig, why dont we be grown up and just put each other on ignore. Its been a canny old week on here with everyone getting along and very little bitchiness. Then you come along tonight and for a miniscule reason start having a go.

 

I ignore your first little dig and answer you politely and even poke a little fun at myself.

 

But then you go into nasty little girl mode.

 

http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...st&p=928730

 

You then follow me into another thread and start again.

 

http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...st&p=928830

 

Then your off onto twitter crying about me and I guess talking about jacking it all in.

 

Theres no fucking need Craig. Simply treat others the way you want to be treated and dont go "attacking" people and then crying when they have a go back.

 

I've had a good night on here having a laugh with loads of different people whether its been about gardening, the old days in the gallowgate or camping. I've had no problem with anyone but you.

 

I NEVER have a go at any poster unless they have a go at me first.

 

Rather than crying on twitter it would be much simpler if you just stuck me on ignore and I'll do the same or grow up.

No meltdown here little lad. Just surprised to see a forum mod slagging off posters on twitter and crying to other posters about it all being too much.

 

Your like a little 8 year old girl tbh

[Craig 6682]

'Crying' is a tad dramatic. And if you had 'seen' it you'd have know that anyway.

 

Who's doing the chinese whispers anyway CT? I suggest you ask them to be more accurate with their information - although you seem to excel at unsubstantiated snippets.
