Silvio Dante Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Twitter, or X if you prefer is sometimes a source of good info. It’s also home to some batshit crazy people. And because I look at a lot of City content on there, I get things recommended in the “for you” section that are linked to the club. Leaving aside that it recommends Ian Gay on that basis, today it’s shown this in my “for you” tab. Now this isn’t a slight on Medube because he may end up having a decent loan spell, but this may be the most insane city comment I’ve ever seen on Twitter. Can anyone better it? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 A good 90% of the replies to anything that a football club posts on social media give the distinct impression that the person replying shouldn't be allowed unsupervised access to the internet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get crap in your timeline you just block it! You don't have to suffer it! I should add that there is a lot of stuff and links to sites that I would never of seen on an MSM site or in a newspaper.

2015 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Football club's social media pages are an absolute cringefest. Sorry, but I find the whole 'Severnside Derby' thing completely and utterly weird, we're forcing a rivalry with Cardiff and Swansea imo.

I have my feed set to 'following' , and I mainly follow people who are not showing psychopathic tendencies . I tend to stick to music and sensible football threads. It can be ok , but there are some real Fruit Loops out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
