this thread is going to be useful for me in my new endeavour. going to have a twitter called something like "footballers doing things" dedicated to RTing footballers who are going to nando's or the cinema, etc.
― zverotic discourse (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 26 January 2012 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
Basically all footballers do is talk about going to Nandos unless they are Joey Barton or Jos Hooiveld or Cillian Sheridan.

Or Dominic Cervi, he goes to Tropeiro instead, and quotes the bible a lot.
― ailsa, Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
i live really near tropeiro and have never been. because i suspect it will be shite. celtic players liking it isn't really swinging me.
― zverotic discourse (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:34 (twelve years ago) link
but im semi intrigued. i should go just to satisfy my curiosity.

@ftbllrsdoinstff
ok ive started on this. just on a following spree at the moment, then ill let the sweet sweet tweets come to me. yes i understand there is no reason why anyone would want to follow an account that aggregates boring tweets by footballers.

ha, i was gonna direct you towards phil neville
― Number None, Thursday, 26 January 2012 22:44 (twelve years ago) link
he's going to be mvp i think.
― zverotic discourse (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 26 January 2012 22:56 (twelve years ago) link
Aww, the chat between Phil and Gary is quite endearing.
I would recommend the entire fucking Brentford squad ("training done...time to hit westfield") and Boro lad @joebennett27 (who has protected his endless Nandos and FIFA updates)
― oppet, Friday, 27 January 2012 00:21 (twelve years ago) link
aye ive a few brentford. niall mcginn of brentford, who used to be at celtic, tweets about nando's about once a week. the holy trifecta is really the cinema, nando's and fifa, with coffee chains getting an honourable mention.
― zverotic discourse (jim in glasgow), Friday, 27 January 2012 00:32 (twelve years ago) link
a friend and i actually went to the cinema then nando's today, pretending we were footballers for a day.

it's alright.

My favourite thing about following footballers on Twitter is seeing the deluded ones who believe the people who beg for retweets because footballer X is their favourite footballer. Seriously. No-one in the history of football has ever had Niall McGinn or Cillian Sheridan as their favourite Celtic player, yet every other week you get a "u cud huv been a Celtic legend, u were my fave player, please RT".
― ailsa, Friday, 27 January 2012 09:46 (twelve years ago) link
i wd rather eat in KFC than Nando's no lie
― summer sun, something's begun, but uh-oh those tumblr whites (Noodle Vague), Friday, 27 January 2012 10:21 (twelve years ago) link
Well i just found out Nando's actually recently opened their first Dublin branch, perhaps i will go investigate it this weekend. Exciting
― Number None, Friday, 27 January 2012 10:34 (twelve years ago) link
McGinn can't even hack it at Brentford, so the idea of him becoming a Celtic legend is laughable. Our keeper @rleegk has positioned himself as a sort of footballing Alain de Botton, tweeting a load of Clinton Cards 'inspirational' neuro-linguistic bullshit.

eh
'can't hack it @ brentford' isn't necessarily an automatic strikeout in the path to 'celtic legend'

i live really near tropeiro and have never been.
I work right next to it and have never been. We were supposed to go for Christmas lunch in 2010 but a fire prevented it. In the 18 months or so it has been there I have never seen more than two occupied tables.

you can tell by how they retweet that they actually believe them?

― Charles Kennedy Jumped Up, He Called 'Oh No'. (Tom D.), Friday, 27 January 2012 15:04 (twelve years ago) link
But good gag tho
xposts. if they RT without comment someone who says "please RT because I think you're a legend", I sort of believe they believe it, or at least want to. "look at me, followers, someone thinks I'm a legend!"
― ailsa, Friday, 27 January 2012 16:27 (twelve years ago) link
I hate when footballers (or slebs in general) give it "I'll give out a RT to my thousandth/millionth/adjust-according-to-Big-Club-status follower" - throwing the plebs a wee bone.
idg asking for RTs either tbh, unless you're trying to punt something or publicise a cause.
