Retired Sports Journalist John Graham tweeted it apparently, but even that is second hand - I was informed of that with not a little amount of glee by a mate of mine who's a Terrier and has been taking a seriously perverted interest in the goings on at the Macron since our game with them.

ahhh - you get tweets - you're one of them! :D

Nope. I'm one of you :P . I don't get tweets, my Uddersfield supporting mate gets tweets and then texts me.

I'm not sure. I get texts of the contents of tweets. I don't think they are second hand tweets more like tweet-sourced texts, but what do I know... I'm a Luddite.

And anyway, if I am getting second hand tweets then you're getting third hand tweets, so there.

not if you didn't actually copy/paste the tweet - I'm getting your retelling of the tweet - a modern-day adaptation, if you will...

An abridged tweet! now there's a thing.

Anyway to extend a long story even longer...
There was a tweet. where? right there on the twittersphere.
My mate (who supports Uddersfield but lives like me near Matlock Bath) got the tweet. How one does this is beyond my comprehension, but nevertheless he did... although I can't actually tell you what the tweet said.
He then texted me. The full and unedited content of which was thus (and I retain all the sics): Tony 10:07 "theres talk from Mancland that Show Pony Cole is headed your way" to which I replied 10:15 "Show Pony Cole?", to which he replied 10:15 "Joe Cole" to which I replied 10:17 "talk from Mancland? what talk exactly?" to which he replied 10:22 "maybe not Mancland some twatter name of johngraham describbed as retrd sport jouno. know nowt else just thats all". I then composed a short but grammatically scrubbed up version for your and all TWers perusal.

Anyway, Tony now tells me that Marc Iles has said that it's crap. so there we go, 'official' denial firmly in place.

Well well well. I didn't know you was Derbyshire resident either! I'm in a tiny hamlet off of the confluence of Cromford, Bonsall, and Matlock Bath. Upperwood on Masson Hill.
Where be thou?
