Lorenzos Only Goal Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 It seems we have a massive following of Sudanese fans on social media that came with our most recent signing, far bigger than I thought initially, they are on nearly every social media post. Its cute at the moment but it could become quite annoying very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 More support for the club can only be a good thing. We need to tap in to the market, Sudanese shirt sales can be our parachute payments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 3 hours ago, David Brent said: What’s annoying about it? Maybe because it could become like a smaller scale version of Liverpool with Salah. The Egyptian Salah fans comment obsessively on any Liverpool social media post and mention Salah - regardless of context. Could get a bit annoying if you really wanted to read comments on social media posts I suppose. I don’t think it’ll be long until our fans online are tricking our new Sudanese following into holding up signs about Rovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy with anything that raises our profile around the world though so I hope the whole of Sudan gets behind Mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also got very abusive when the club supported LGBT week etc. Marhez at Leicester has similar following and they all used to get really abusive when he wasn’t playing etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester uploaded a picture - might’ve been a modified crest - in LGBT rainbow colours. Ended up with ‘angry reacts’ on Facebook being the majority because of the Mahrez fans. Obviously not what Leicester would’ve wanted.

bristolcitysweden Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Why are they posting on Bristol City FC social media if they are supporting the player and not the club? Can’t they stick to Eisas social media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undy English Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 There's a guy in South Sudan who, during the civil war, ate any Jihadi prisoners he shot in battle. He gathered quite a following in his native land. Not football related, but cool dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 A couple of them are posting about the grace of Islam, and making homophobic comments now.
