iamalagerdrinker Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I'm almost certain they do but I was wondering what everyone thought about it?I've been listing to the Robbie Savage & Andrew Flintoff podcast (which is really good btw) and Savage said he made an account on the Derby forum and would stick up for himself if he was getting grief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted July 28, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 The podcasts with Savage, Flintoff and the Ping Pong Guy are quite entertaining, well worth a listen. As for players reading this, they have in the past, so I can only assume some of the current crop do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I think they were probably more likely to 5 years ago. Since most players have Twitter, it's far easier to get brief news, opinions and rumours on there. I'm sure the playing staff are far more likely to. I'm certain LJ has looked before.

Kodjias Wrist Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I think they would laugh their asses off at some of the posters who give tactical analysis. I remember Cotts in an interview saying he would never ever do that or listen to twentyman talks back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott is a huge city fan now and if he wasn't working for the club he would probably be a registered poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I'd have thought if players were going to trawl twitter in the god-knows-how-many hours off a week they get after training, then they'd surely be aware of other social media (isn't that what this really is?) where there would be an abundance of material dedicated to them and their employers. It might not be a great idea mind, but surely the temptation would be too great!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a player there is no way I would want to read what fans were saying about me. However, I would be surprised if they could resist the temptation to do so. If they do come on here would they respond to posts made about themselves? I saw someone post that Robbie Savage says that he used to go on fans forum to defend himself - a full time job in his case?

EnderMB Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Bristol City isn't exactly a huge club, so if you do what is essentially the professional version of Googling yourself, then one of the only sources you'll find, outside of the awful Not606 forums, is this place. I'd be shocked if individually the players hadn't viewed this forum. I'd be even more shocked if a lot of these players didn't have Google Alerts on their name, for when they are mentioned by the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 One way to find out! PLAYERS! When we score this evening, celebrate by ballroom dancing back to the centre circle. There. That should prove it one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
