    No reference to Rob Newman, who is our Head of Recruitment. Does this mean he is off?

    They're slightly different roles imo, so I'd have thought they would work together.

    6000 posts per day.
    That seems like a lot. Are people routinely reading more than that?
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    6,000 posts does seem like a lot but you have to pay for verification. I could see some who use it professionally hitting that, for example for investigations.

    I could definitely see myself hitting 600 during certain periods when I’m monitoring something happening.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Oh ok, I hadn't thought of the whole professional aspect.
    I was just thinking of how much time you'd be on social media and what better uses of your time there are

    But for work, yeah. I can see that.

    6000 over 12 hours is 500 per hour, who on earth has time to read 500 tweets an hour for 12 hours?

    Is his aim simply to get more people become verified?
  • alderzalderz
    It’s not about reading though, if you’re also scrolling past tweets you aren’t reading then does that eat into that allowance?
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    The reference to scraping makes me think that.

    Strikes me as something that will be a problem for disinformation research. They'll often pull thousands of tweets on a particular topic to try and work out what propaganda is being pushed, how and by who. This will stop that.

    I don't think the 6,000 is the real issue in most cases though, it's the 600 limit for people who aren't paying for Twitter.

    Anyone read anything about when our pre-season training starts? Our first game is a week today so I assume it will have to be tomorrow or Wednesday.

    A nice piece on one of our women's team players. Izzy Atkinson, making it into the Irish WC squad...

    FIFA are trialling a new offside rule, where the ENTIRE attacking player has to be offside for it to be called offside. Which, to me, seems very dumb. You'll still have the same issue of drawing lines on VAR to see if there's even a bit of the striker onside, teams will just drop deeper and deeper to avoid being caught out, and it feels like it will be a massive advantage for all strikers, which sort of ruins the balance of the game, IMO.

    So, in the example below, this would be onside.

    Ready for the new season

    That change to the offside rule is going to make no difference.

    I assume you mean in respect of VAR use and tight calls, in which case I agree! If you mean wider than that, I think it will make a pretty massive difference in how teams defend and attack.

    Indeed, you still have to draw the lines somewhere.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Yes, sorry. Tight calls.
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    Unless their aim is not to support VAR but to increase goals per game.
  • WhitehorsehammerWhitehorsehammer
    Where and when is this being trialled, not in the PL next season I hope?
  • alderzalderz
    I read it’s in a couple of youth tournaments in Netherlands and (I think) Italy over the summer, in order to role out everywhere for the 2023/24 season.

    Thanks alderz

    A lot of talk about club loyalty and how few Nobles and Gerrards there are nowadays. I think we need to acknowledge the dangers in being confined to a small seaside town for too long.
