I just wish they could spell. People who don't know the difference between their, there and they're, your and you're, and say things like "should of" are already unhinged lunatics in my book. :lol:
Amen :thumbsup:

I’m not on twitter, but I would bet my arm that a few of those people post on here.

I run a few Celtic pages and groups on Facebook, that no doubt many on here are members of and the utter shampooe posted on it is infuriating. Push like, can I get a hail hail for my cat, it’s his birthday.
Aye, its going to be a lot of the same people on social media, whether it’s twitter, the facebooks, or KDS (which somehow usually avoids the social media tag).

Twitter’s the easiest for avoiding right-wing fuds, blocking trolls and tuning out the James Forrests.
I don’t mind James Forrest, he posts on our page, I don’t read all of it, but if I have a spare five minutes, then I’ll give it a go.

On here, with mods and their powers, i would imagine it’s a lot easier to filter out the crap and the posters who repeatedly do it.
I was at school with him so I try to give his articles a bit of a read. There's not enough hours in the day though :lol:

The sight of 3 guys in full Celtic strip (including socks) at universal studios still ranks as one of my all time great disappointments. Infinitely more scaring than anything social media has to offer where stupidity only has a lifespan of a couple of minutes until the next moron logs on.

I don’t want to lose social media but everyone should be restricted to 2 tweets a week, or one stupid, effing meme. And one Facebook post a month. We’d all be smarter and more informed for it.

Purchasing and wearing of a full kit by anyone over the age of 7, who isn’t at least on a football pitch at the time needs to be treated with the severest of consequences.

Something about climbing a mountain in a Celtic strip. Or riding a bike too.

Can’t stand The Clumpany, Fr Paul Stone or Jeanette Finlay. They’re probably on this board, but I don’t care. I’ve muted those accounts though I still seem to see their tweets from time to time.
Throw in clowns like 'Bartin' and James Forrest (no the player) and you've got the set of absolute fannies to avoid.

If any of you read this, sort yer lives out.
Jeanette is the chairperson of The Trust and has done a helluva lot in terms of the OBFA.

Not sure what’s she’s done to be lumped in with the rest of those names.
I personally think she’s sanctimonious. She was also bit of an arsehole to my brother when he was Uni.

The people who jump on Palestine or any other social injustice without having an actual clue to what it’s about. Policitical warriors who get all their facts from Facebook. .

I don’t really do Twitter much to be honest.

She is from a very religious background though.

People with '67' or 'bhoy' in their username are for the watching too. And weirdos who know how the UEFA coefficients work. I punt them from KDS when I spot them.

I think people notice it more because you'll end up following or being followed by a lot of Celtic fans, but football fans in general are awful on Twitter.

Can't disagree with what's been said but Twitter is generally a cesspit of carrots and keyboard warriors.

Good for a wind up but

Quite a lot of the different types of arseholery have already been well described.

What gets me most though is the complete lack of decorum. A good example was Stefan Johansen putting up a celebratory post on Instagram following Fulham getting promoted to the Premier League.

Some of the direct replies from so called Tims lead to only disbelief. Plenty profanity, plenty claims of him being "useless" and a "c***" from accounts called stuff like CroyBhoy67YNWA and StarryPloughBhoy and stuff like that. The Bitton stuff is of a similar ilk.

Whatever your views, if you're using these things to communicate insults with "personalities" from Celtic or otherwise that you don't like, there is an overwhelming chance that you are a complete banger.

Worst carrots are those that say something stupid, get laughed at, then claim they’ve caugh loads of fish and now they’re a patter king. Huns tend to be pretty bad for this.

:lol: In my defence, I tried on several occasions to register, but fecked it up, so added the 67 to aid my memory.

And TBL would applaud Timstatogeekery :clap:
