The game is riddled with similar types though.
Agents run the game.
And social networking seems to rule our lives these days.
How the hell did we get through the day before all this gadgetometary took over?

Doesn't exactly fall into the [occasional pair of] wrong hands though, it's there on a plate for everyone to use or abuse.

SV (like most message-boards) has guidelines.
Fall foul of them, and the posting is lifted by a mod, and generally that's the end of the matter, very quick, no-one is hurt, and often the message is lifted so quickly it hasn't even been seen by anyone other than the on-duty mod.
With Twitter, unless I'm wrong, once you've said what you've said and hit the tit, then the tweet fly to all and sundry (even people you wouldn't wish to read it), without any way of lifting the tweet from possibly reaching millions of recipients.
Could be all manner of very serious implications.
For Capaldi (no defence at all) it'll be skidaddle pdq.

He was at Ewood Park watching his beloved Rovers, and posted on his social networking site that "The Donkey Botherers are 2-0 up now."
He foolishly thought only his son would see it.
Instantly spotted by numerous people in Blackpool he represents in his day job !!!
Cue instant calls for him to resign and all hell let loose on Radio Lancashire on Monday morning !!

But the horse has already bolted! Capaldi complaining wouldn't have helped him would it?

Yep, but a lot depends on how it all pans out in the Middle East. In Egypt the Muslim Brotherhood had very little influence for a long time, ditto in Tunisia. Now they're in with a chance. They won't want to win the elections, because with winning comes responsibility, and they won't want that. What they'll be after is a much greater influence, which might not go down well. So the end-game has still to be played, and the outcome uncertain.

I don't do Twitter or FB, and whatever else there is. Do you really think that before all this social networking that footballers (or anyone) didn't snipe, gossip, back-stab? People were just a bit more careful who they whispered to, and the world was a calmer place.

Get this one wrong and I wonder if there is any way back? Make a firm, powerful, decisive move and perhaps he will turn the corner of this horrible season.
