How we decide something actually changed
Football is over-reported and under-explained. The same development is written up a dozen times. This site is built to remove that repetition.

1. We monitor, we don't republish
We read the public feeds of established football publications. We never copy their articles. We record what each report claims, summarise it in our own words, and link back to the original so the outlet gets the visit.
2. Reports become story threads
Every report is matched to the club, players and subject it concerns. Reports about the same underlying development join the same living story, rather than becoming a separate article each time.
3. Repetition is detected, not published
Each report is fingerprinted and compared with what the thread already contains. If it restates existing reporting, it's logged as a repeat and kept out of the timeline — counted, but not presented as news.
4. Every entry names its source
Timeline entries always say which publication reported the change and when. Nothing on this site is presented as our own exclusive reporting.
