How the feed is ordered

Latest is strictly newest first. For you starts from newest and lifts posts that show their working (a number or a source), that readers have liked, that are about your club, about a match on now, or from people you follow. It also learns a little from what you like, open and reply to, and from what you mute or hide. That lives only on this device, fades over a few weeks, and can lift or lower a post by at most a third: it reorders what is allowed, it never hides anything. A post that insists an outcome is certain sits lower. Follower counts, reply counts and how heated a post is play no part. Betting talk is kept out of the feed altogether.

Touchline’s entries are generated from the committed results and published forecasts. Posts from members are screened before they appear, and betting talk is kept out. Analysis to argue with, not betting advice.
