No facepalmbookshit. No Twitter. No Instaprick. Nada. But - unfortunately - as far as the outside world are concerned - these people are viewed as speaking for all of us: you, me, and everyone else associated with BCFC. ucFk that. And ucFk them.

ChubStixx Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 I unfollowed that account months ago. Personally find it to be a conveyor belt of childish and annoying content. Who are they targeting? 8 - 16 year olds presumably, which is fair enough, but by doing that you alienate everyone one else!! Perhaps the club could create an account for adult fans?

Roe Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 I've genuinely considered unfollowing the club twitter page for ages now. It's probably not that different to other clubs' but I do think it is embarrassing and out of touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yank Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Freaking joke tbh, why even waste the time to tweet about damn Leeds to begin with? My half-blind Grandmother could run a Twitter account better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobArnold10 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 I knew this would post would polarise. It’s called banter, I’m sure you thing plenty of stuff is funny that isn’t to others. Personally I thought this was a bit of a miss rather than a hit like some of the other posts, but I find it’s usually 75/25 with the content for me.

Robin101 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Some of their stuff is quite successful (goal gifs...) but there does seem to be a bit of a disparity between the smooth, professional image we like to portray 98% of the time and some of the crap we put on Twitter. Wouldn't be surprised if they’re made to rein it in a bit. It’s not like social media is a revenue driver for us, so if it’s turning off fans then it’s failing.

I think the line to draw is between celebration of City's success, and laughing at/with ourselves - and trying to mock other clubs. The latter doesn't really work. Looks cheap. And in this case - given the relative statures of Bristol City and Leeds United - more than a bit pathetic. I don't know who is in charge of the club's social media but we need an upgrade.

No idea how it's banter But is this not an official club twitter feed? The club would never dream of posting "banter" on the official site so why is it accepted on Twitter?

There is no point in picking a fight with a club the size of Leeds Utd. Like them or loathe them they are a proper big club which make the likes of Villa look small.

Just because you don’t have the same taste as somebody else doesn’t mean it wrong. Not is it a reflection on the other individual. And please, please don’t make it sound like you’re in the majority because you have no facts behind that at all. Humour like many things is subjective. My original point was the same.

But other than that they're all fine All out of likes for today PS. The combination of an arrogant Yorkshire mindset and their, in all fairness, significant achievements between 1965 and 1975, does explain - if not excuse - the behaviour that winds us all up these days.

I didn't say it was wrong. I said it was puerile and embarrassing. If you don't understand how Bristol City, perennial lower league nobodies, taking the piss out of Leeds United - winners of the First Division, FA Cup, League Cup, robbed in a European Cup final and a Cup Winner Cup final by corrupt refereeing, and so on and so on - is an embarrassment... ...then you're as clueless as the pricks in charge of our ****tter account. PS. None of that gives me any pleasure - Leeds fans are, almost to a man, woman and child, with the rare exception, a feking pain in the arse, But facts are facts - our officials taking the mickey out of them for achieving something we've only ever managed in 120 years is...
