Who signed off on that? Seemed unnecessary. I am not above pranks and low brow humour myself but tricking our players into using an electric pen just for social media clout was a bit naff, or am I alone in thinking that? The players did not respond well to that and the bulk of them seemed embarrassed and pissed off that were being used for engagement in that way. It wasn’t a good look at all. Sure, it might pick up a few likes, but I think these social media types need to remember that we’re a football club sometimes and not take the low road on some of the content we put out. |  |

Not a massive issue but like you feel it unnecessary, just a bit childish. |  |

Think you are massively over thinking it.
Not my cup of tea but I'm sure some people find that stuff funny. |  |

I actually thought it was leading upto a shock signing.
But ended up just being a 5 year olds joke |  |

I'd like to hear from those who did find it funny. Because it was painful to watch! | |

We are talking about footballers here? The people who cling film each other's cars, cut off their socks, fill their boots with shaving foam etc ?
People who have silly fines systems for everything and anything?
An absolutely extraordinary take on some harmless messing about. The desperation to criticise is both absurd and destructive.
I pity anyone who is opposed to being "a bit childish" now and again. Its healthy. [Post edited 23 Jul 8:34]

I know he’s a town fan, used to stand near me in the North Stand a few ago but I didn’t realise he worked for the club |  |

Completely agree. It wasn't funny and to be honest just another sign of the emptiness at the heart of things in the game. Some admin person probably earning a pittance having to create constant 'content'.
I was thinking how annoying it must be to be a player nowadays and have a camera shoved up your nose at every opportunity.
At the heart of the American sports entertainment complex is a paradox - all the stuff that they claim shows how engaged and unique the club is in terms of its relationship with its support actually just underlines the opposite. Every club pumping out 'content' that will be scheduled on a spreadsheet in order to farm engagement for a more important spreadsheet - the financial one.
We had a little sweet spot here when Town in 5 started and the club was still not fully 'modern game' proofed. The early ones were really good.
I really dislike the slick marketing crap that there's more and more of. Couldn't we have a proper apology from Ashton over you know what and an actual explanation of the price hikes on season tickets instead. [Post edited 23 Jul 8:40]

It was a video of footballers picking a pen up, it not working, being lightly shocked, looking confused and walking away naffed off. A totally pointless piece of content.
Not quite the level of the incidents you are referring to. | |

I doubt anyone was really that bothered, and I imagine compared to some of the stuff that usually goes on in training camps etc it's next to nothing - I doubt the players cared either way. |  | | |

If you think an electric pen shock is hilarious 'banter' (shudder) then not sure it's a night out worth being on... | | | |

Oh they are little scamps; just like with the exclusive 'hilarious' reveal of the new shirt for the EADT, where a surprised Stu Watson opens up a darts style shirt on camera, all for social media content, before he is given the genuine item. | |

Ive not seen the clip, but sounds about as deep as most social media shorts. | |
