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".

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

Errrrrrrrrrr, since when was Rod Stewart a "Celtic legend"?

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!"

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.

I think he'll be part of Arsenal's huge wage bill this week, now that Rangers have destroyed their historic 100 year friendship with the Gunners.

However, Pulis is at a loss to understand why Pennant and others would want to use Twitter in the first place.
"The way I've been brought up, I've enough friends and family that I can pick up the phone and talk to them," he added.
"I find it amazing the way these social networks run and people do what they do on them. They're talking to a bunch of Herberts they don't even know, and they are opening themselves up to these Herberts. For me, it is beyond my common sense to do that.
"You have to move with the times, and they [today's players] live in an era where talking via computers is the norm, or becoming the norm. It's very sad in lots of respects.
"But I understand it. I've had to change my ways enormously over my management career to adapt to what people get up to today. But it's still beyond belief that you go on a computer page, or whatever it is, and tell people you are having a cup of tea or coffee somewhere."

surely redeemed by that tweet about the lights going out while he was pooping.
although looking at his twitter now, what did he say? from a quick scan through it seems that the incriminatory tweet has been deleted.
― michael nyman cat (Merdeyeux), Friday, 20 April 2012 21:50 (twelve years ago) link
He said that some girls were very stupid and that he'd lost a good friend and a great person. Later claimed it was nothing to do with his friend and former teammates Ched Evans. He didn't even know the verdict as he was on the team bus, tweeting his thoughts on, er, twitter. Where he follows lots of outlets reporting it and people discussing it. So adamant was he that his tweet was unconnected with Evans that he has since deleted it and has ignored many requests for him to tweet regarding his thoughts on Evans unrelated to his other friend dicked around by a woman.
Dude's got previous for being a dick on twitter.
Just speculating, you understand. In a needs-some-PR-advice way.
