Burnley “partner” with X

As the title says…

Havnt a clue what all that means... Great getting old ain't it

[agreenwood]

It reads like they’ve done some of media deal with them to help promote the brand - maybe some exclusive behind the scenes footage etc.

[Quickenthetempo]

Let's hope they can get rid of all them abusing the twitter clarets hashtag.

[daveisaclaret]

Class to partner with the app where racists and worse pay to get their replies boosted.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Elon Musk to jump out of his rocket and land on the cricket field stand roof first home match?

[burnley007]

Class to partner with the app where racists and worse pay to get their replies boosted.

And idiots believe it.
Like these supposed riots in LA, that aren't actually happening

I agree. The far left extremists have way too much to say for themselves.

[Darnhill Claret]

burnley007, you missed a smiley off your post.
Just because you may not have seen the riots yourself. Sorry , let me take that back,. You obviously have seen the riots but have decided to believe a poster who has said there are no riots happening.
You can't just decide that a truth is actually a conspiracy theory, despite compelling evidence to the contrary.
Suppose you think that the Australian female reporter who was shot with a rubber bullet fired by LA's finest, was trick 'photography' or AI equivalent?

I presume 007 is pointing out that there is a lot of evidence that protesters are being manhandled. LA’s finest are enjoying playing with their new toy weapons, but very little evidence any of that any of it is remotely close to where looting is undoubtedly happening; looting manly due to all the police being massed all in one place for the cameras.

Closed my account on X when Musk got involved with Trump. I use Bluesky now, which is like twitter used to be. I’ve no intention of returning to X, regardless of any Burnley involvement.

[HahaYeah]

Great news.

X is much better now Musk has took it away from the liberal Wokestapo.

[AfloatinClaret]

I reckon it must be one of those newspaper 'spot the ball' competitions. The paper's going to 'partner' with Burnley by only using photos from our games for people to mark their Xs on

[mikeS]

I'm guessing there'll be "twitter/ X" roving cameras/ interviewers outside the Turf on Match days live streaming content with fans???

[Bow]

Great work Alan, now if you can partner with MySpace and Friends Reunited we’ll have total coverage across social media that no one uses anymore

[Firthy]

Havnt a clue what all that means... Great getting old ain't it

Ditto.

[Darnhill Claret]

OK elwa, if you are correct, then my mistake.
I read it and took it literally.
burnley007, apologies if I shouldn't have taken your post literally.

[Stanbill05]

Alan can't win. Burnley are too big for X and it's 600m regular users now? When did that happen? Good effort I say.

[RammyClaret61]

Maybe they could get Elon to position a satellite directly over Turf Moor on match days. Then mobile internet might, but only might, just work!!

[quoonbeatz]

Might not be bigger but we should be better than ‘partnering’ with **** like that.

The other way round with UTC, for no reason they closed down the account, citing that I was underage. Set up a new one @utccom with one the same on Blue Sky.

Twitter nowhere near as popular as it was and growing with the new account has been very slow.

[scouseclaret]

Is this actually real? Can’t see any mention of it on the club website.

Don’t trust anything on Twitter anymore

[RVclaret]

**** like that? The world’s largest and most used social media site. More popular than many legacy media outlets nowadays. Amazing partner.

[Falcon]

Horrible website, full of horrible people, misinformation and propaganda.

But enough about UTC

[quoonbeatz]

I’d say a company run by a racist **** who merrily throws out nazi salutes isn’t an amazing partner but you do you, as they say.

In your opinion.

Of course is liberal/lefty fashion at the moment to hate on Musk/Trump.

[quoonbeatz]

In your opinion.

Yep, hence you do you. Dig your own hole.

[CrosspoolClarets]

It would be a lot better than gambling companies but one does wonder if it is suitable for X to be on kids shirts now that the dangers of social media to children and teenagers are becoming more widespread to more people (though some still refuse to acknowledge it). I’d view it the same as the gambling firms and go for a DudePerfect kids version.

On the wider point I do find X increasingly annoying, particular how it plays a random video straight after my video finishes (a random one that is often totally unrelated and semi-pornographic). And the thousands of obvious bots originating from dodgy foreign states but pretending to be from here are a problem. But I find BlueSky an echo chamber and have chosen not to touch it.

[agreenwood]

I have a strange relationship with X. I shut down my longstanding account about a year ago, because I hated what it was becoming.

However I’ve still not found an alternative that provides the same comprehensive level of football news and views. I’ve tried Bluesky, but a lot of the X accounts I used to follow still aren’t on there (including BFC).

So now I find myself occasionally using an old business account I have access to, to look up accounts for news. I don’t use it anywhere near as much and never post, but its level of football coverage has never been replicated.

I still use it, having had an account since 2009, but it's never needed more of a critical eye, and to question pretty much everything. Not to mention the absolute binfire of DM spam

I think I largely avoid all of that. I only really look up the football journalists and organisations, so unless they are spewing out “fake news”, it still serves a purpose for me that I can’t find anywhere else.

I certainly never go on the “For You” page, look up trending topics or go down video rabbit holes - that’s where all the crazy **** is.

It feels like a bit of a necessary evil to me at the moment. I suspect there are a lot of people who feel the same.

I'd say anyone who values democracy, judicial independence, due process, and the rule of law has every right to oppose someone governing like a fascist / 'hating on Musk/Trump'.

Not to mention - they've done far more hating on one another than anyone else has done to them!!

There's a way round this, set your account to private or something

It does seem a strange time to partner with Twitter. Although he has his fanboys, Musk is pretty toxic in the UK according to opinion polls (I think the latest was something like 15% favourable, 75% unfavourable).

Suspect the hope is publicity rather than direct cash.

Do the women's team still have a tie-up with Tiktok? That felt pretty similar to this.

[Stockbrokerbelt]

Could X be our shirt sponsor?

[ŽižkovClaret]

Could X be our shirt sponsor?

Could well be.....

I would then wonder if people genuinely believe X to be a morally superior choice to a "legit" bookie.......

[Enola Gay]

Could X be our shirt sponsor?

I’d rather have Fun88 back.

Agree with the poster above, it’s fine for football but the amplification of the far-right and Musk dickriders combined with the frankly laughable amount of ads for crypto/AI/dropshipped garbage make the rest of it pretty much a cesspit.

[getbennyon]

It's a great site

[NewClaret]

Could X be our shirt sponsor?

Imagine that

Can’t see there’s much in this. If the club had partnered with X I’m pretty sure they’d be crowing about it from the rooftops and there’s not been a peep.

I follow UTC on bluesky, but there’s no account from Burnley official. Bluesky had a healthy spurt after the US election, but it sadly seems to have petered out.

Having a blast on there, have been for a year. Numbers aren't everything, and engagement isn't a thing that you can easily do - or rather force. If you say things people want to hear, then you will grow an audience. It will take time and if your goal is to become Internet famous, then it isn't the place to try.

If you want to force your opinions onto others, then good luck, because Bluesky is designed to prevent that from happening. The reason the clarets hashtag is much quieter than Twitter is because it isn't full of bot and spam accounts.

Given all the fascism, racism and contempt for lives, morals and finances that Musk and Trump have pulled, continue to pull and will continue to pull, then if true, I find the news of this tie-up incredibly disappointing.

[Casper2]

Disgusting tie up with a racist **** bag , then again it fits in well with the morman religion.

The irony of calling someone a racist *** bag, then proceeding to come out with a religious slur

[Elbarad]

X would be a wonderful shirt sponsor in my opinion.

No one would force you to use it or personally endorse all views espoused therein. The idea is raise revenue for the club.

[Ashbourne claret]

Wonder what this board would have made of Edward Heath opening the Bob Lord stand in 1974 ?
