    Twitter have a little blue tick symbol next to the feeds of famous people/companies that certify them as the genuine article. The lack of the symbol doesn't mean the account is fake, but if the symbol is there, you can trust it as genuine.

    He only joined today (if it's him) usually takes a while for them to pick up it's a real account.

    Half the Qatford squad were not official till the Play-offs.

    I won't believe it's him until he tweets a pic of a Rising Sun breakfast.

    So not only did Frank Smith know that Abdi was signing but he also knew he would set up a Twitter account to announce it.

    When it comes to Abdi he clearly doesn't have any solid info that we don't.

    I also knew all of this, but unfortunately Abdi is quicker at setting up twitter accounts than i, so he tweeted before I could tweet to reveal it. FML.

    What is boring is your habit of posting on this forum.

    Well it is for me anyway.

    Bearing in mind, that no one can say categorically that we are not currently living in an advanced computer simulation of humanity and everything we experience is nothing more than an illusion directly plugged into our cerebral cortices whilst in reality our bodies are being used as slaves in a despotic alien civilisation, do we not think arguing over whether a wiki/twitter entry is real or unsubstantiated seems a little inconsequential ?

    FML FML FML ?!?!?!?!?!? :rant::sick1::doh::dismay::confused:

    Just saying

    Frank Smith is definitely a real person, very good friend of mine and makes a point of not tweeting rumours, neither on his own account or in the Wobby, so you can be 99% sure that Abdi has indeed signed.

    I did one of my exams about that this year. There are a few philosophers who think they can prove we aren't in a sceptical hypothesis but not very good arguments in my opinion. I spent hours revising that stuff.

    I'd love to see that tweet...

    ''Emanuele Giulianelli ‏@EmaGiulianelli 9h
    Cristian Battocchio signed with Watford. Not on loan, definitive!''

    I wish I hadn't started this thread now!

    Oh, by the way, Battocchio is quoting the Almen Abdi tweets etc. so does that make the Abdi account real again?

    Feck knows! Wish I hadn't asked that question in the thread you wish you hadn't started!

    Still, a lot of my other wishes have come true today so no complaints from me!

    It's like when you got in trouble as a kid and made your mum and dad argue - it was your fault then and it's your fault now.

    Abdi account looks to be fake, Deeney and Battochio have both untweeted/unfollowed it.

    Vicious rumour. I'm loyal to IRB. JB is just a bunny boiler type.

    Cassetti doesn't count as being disloyal; you know you all would.

    Its a fascinating subject. One that Im by no means an expert.

    Were their hypotheses based on just logical thought processes or from empirical observations ?

    Cassetti had now followed it, and the official club account did... I'm gonna have a stab in the dark and say one of the players mischievously made the account for him without informing him first #detective
