The increasingly annoying rise of the social media Celtic fan; Price to pay for being the new 'establishment club'?

:lol: is all of this a thinly-veiled yet accurate criticism of the main page of KDS? And one thread in particular?
Not really. It is staggeringly obvious which thread discusses them though :lol:

Maybe they should just create their own club - called 'not sevco' - and they could all create their social media profiles round that? They wouldn't even need to bother with the pretending to support Celtic stuff.
The genuine Sevco obsession a sizeable contingent of our support have, which stretches beyond general mockery 99% of Celtic fans have when the huns lose on a matchday for example, is beyond pitiful.

The kind of people who only wanted to discuss Gerrard or sing the 'Andy Halliday song' on the day we secured an unprecedented double-treble.

I totally respect & appreciate the dedicated tims who analysed the financial downfall of RFC (1872-2012) from the Minty Moonbeams era right through to Craig Whyte's final days. But those who have the desire to constantly talk, write or post about them day-after-day, from their players' press conferences to what topics are generating interest on Follow Follow... :nono:

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

She is from a very religious background though.
They may well have been religious, however, I doubt they were a 'Republican family. My ex-neighbour was in the British Army with her brother.
Think your neighbour is at it.

No idea why Jeanette would be thrown in with the other lot. A committed and active Celtic fan who follows the team everywhere and spent a good few years fighting the OBFA.( and unlike the others doesn't waste her time talking about the huns)

A Celtic fan, a socialist and a devout Catholic. Quite simple, if you find offence with any of that then don't follow her.
I don't. I can't stop people retweeting her stuff (thank god for mute now).

As I said, outside of social media, I don't think too highly of Jeanette Finlay from what I've heard about her from several people. Her tweets certainly make me think what I've heard is true.
Ah! ' Several people' said things.

Don't insinuate, spit it out if you've actually got something to say. What you are doing is the very worst of Social Media, insinuating crap about someone.

Anyway, Jeanette is smart enough to look out for herself, I'll let her know you were asking after her.

KDS had a near monopoly on Celtic zoomers until 2006 when Twitter disrupted our business model. :(
I still hold on to those cherished memories still though :(

Something about climbing a mountain in a Celtic strip. Or riding a bike too.
The mountain climbers and bike riders are raising a lot of money and feeding a lot of hungry kids to be fair

KDS looking down on the Celtic supporting peasantry.

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.
Some of the Celtic players are the worst to follow. Constantly retweeting banal shampooe or giving some celebrity endorsement for a free pair of boots or a free holiday.

The comments and gushing for ex-Celtic players is awful too. "Would love to see you in the hoops again one day, big man!" all that shampooe. Usually to a player who has long since forgotten us, or wasn't even that great a player for us anyway.

They love a good 'picture of player + inspirational quote about Celtic' too. Usually a blatantly fake picture of Messi with a quote about how he loves the Celtic and it's the best atmosphere he's ever seen. The pure Sellick da's then retweet the eff out of it, copying in the @SkySports handle and stuff like that, with some comment about, "See! Stick yer EPL up yer arse! Messi knows best!" followed by hunners and hunners of wee daft shamrock emojis.
Wanyama enjoys spaghetti. Wouldn’t know that without him being on twitter
