Current injuries & wee knocks

Current injuries & wee knocks

Who really gives one about the club going into detail about players injuries, like it's only North End who don't give weekly updates.

As well as the club clearly not wanting the opposition to know who may or may not be fit, have you ever thought the players don't want every bit of information about their injuries plastering all over social media. They are human beings and some of those injured may need to find other clubs at the end of their contracts. I'm sure Ched Evans would be well pleased if instead of Frankie saying he has a wee knock, he came out with " His knee's absolutely fucked, could be out for months.

Jesus wept, some people really need to get a life.

on a vaguely related point, this has appeared today. Footballers are claiming they should be paid for all the in-match data that's collected about them in-game.

I suppose it depends what sort of data we're talking about.

Footballers are saying the GDPR breach is around personally identifiable information (height, weight, speed etc), all the things that add to their worth & value as sportspeople. But I suppose if your own work targets are around sales targets, units manufactured, punctuality, or whatever, then those aren't necessarily GDPR issues?

Not sure.

I’m f*cked if my employer starts checking my weight and speed
 
There's a solid argument that we should own, and be entitled to the revenues from all of our own personal data. It has significant value, which is why companies are so keen to collect it. Either on a personal or a national level, by applying a tax, it's a solid case.
