WARNOCK ON QPR TWEETING Tribal Football QPR boss Warnock does not understand Fernandes tweeting QPR boss Neil Warnock admits he's at odds with club owner Tony Fernandes over his love of Twitter. The Malaysian is followed by more than 106,000 people on the social networking website, which he has previously highlighted as a key way to communicate with the west Londoners' fanbase. Warnock admits he does not understand the fascination with Twitter, but believes the owner and players can post what they like within reason. Asked whether he was happy with Fernandes tweeting about players, he joked: "He owns the club. You tell him off! "I just think it is modern ways really. It is the same with the players really. "I know one or two of the players do a lot of it and it helps you lads find stories, it helps the journalists a lot. You can't knock it all the time. "As long as it does not bring the club into disrepute, I am not bothered. "I think it is stupid really, I must admit." Tribal Football TRIBAL FOOTBALL QPR boss Warnock confident Barton tweets will not go over line QPR boss Neil Warnock is confident Joey Barton's tweeting won't go over the line. Barton's exit from Newcastle United came about after he was made available on a free transfer for criticising the club's recruitment policy via his Twitter account. Warnock does not expect the same issues at Loftus Road and insists the players know the boundaries. "I think they have all had instructions from the FA about what they can do and what they can't do," he said. "If they go over the line, they will get charged. "They all know what they can do and what they can't do now so it's down to the individual. "You can't treat them like school kids but if they go over the line then they will get a fine. "It is like a newspaper now and the FA have made it clear with guidelines and I agree with it." Tribal Football
It's like anything else in our world of ultra fast communication: you can't supress opinions or information for long so you are better off not trying and using the technology to your advantage. Fernandes appears to understand that. Briatori, Ecclestone and most of all Paladini did not.
"I think it is stupid really, I must admit." Just as well he didn't tweet that - he'd be in trouble. Quality - think he's almost as good as Ollie for entertainment value.
