The idiots of Twitter thread

[TiagoIlori]

The parody accounts against the 1871 campaign seem to have rattled a fair few. Can’t believe how many people take them seriously!

[Old Man Andrews]

I think the people behind the South Stand thing are sensitive souls bless them, not sure why they are bothering to interact with blatant troll accounts.

[genome]

The #readingfc hashtag has been a wasteland for the last couple of weeks. It's either 1871 trolls, or people arguing with the 1871 trolls, with both sides insulting each other and getting pretty nasty and personal. On top of that you've got 15 year olds with football avatars, now off school, tweeting mostly nonsense I can't understand. There's also others whinging and assuming a woe-is-me attitude towards everything the club does. And to top it off, mafff had a meltdown and manage to infuriate literally all of the above. Ugh.

It's been a wasteland for the last couple of years IMO. So much negativity even when we were doing well. And absolute poison earlier in the year.

Nice bit of light entertainment.

But you lost a lot of credibility overnight, you'd built up a loyal following and you spat in their face. You let them down with your antics and the people lost a hero.

You have to go away now and take time to rethink your approach and try to win over those you have lost, show them that you are that hero they so desperately crave. Your future is still in your hands and you can come back stronger.
















That or just carry on being a c*nt, whatever works bro.

Bit concerned he's going to have some kind of heart attack / breakdown today. Style seems very Informant-like to me. As in, utter bellend.

Exhausting. It gets to the point that tr0lling (and general idiocy) becomes irritating and hard to ignore. It also becomes unhelpful and poisonous.

You either get the morons like that guy, or that Tom guy that blocks EVERYONE.

Or you get some of the yoofs that want Clement to be sacked before the season has started.

Last season taught me how much I value the Championship. The difference between being in this league and league one is absolutely massive. Big teams, decent games, hugely competitive, exciting and a great league. I really do enjoy the Championship. I wish more fans would appreciate our position*

* I get as frustrated as anyone, but there's a time and a place for that - like after a 5-0 loss, or after 5 losses on the bounce. Not on the build up to the FIRST game of a new season.

Spot on bobz. No team has a divine right to success year in year out, I enjoy a moan as much as the next man and I have little confidence that this season is going to be anything but a long hard trudge, even from a distance, but I'm not going to go to the effort of slagging off the team in public before a balls been kicked in anger. I'll wait until approx 8.10pm tonight for that.

I will never understand the hatred that he holds over where people sit. He probably has place cards at all his social eventshosted by himself and his mother.

[Old Man Andrews]

I think it can only be a parody account. Nobody would actually actually be concerned about where people are sitting in a stadium surely?

I don't know, but I love the fact he's calling Mr Bushwatch out as a making a mockery of the club and that he will be responsible for us not making any signings - presumably because he will scare any players off?

Don't agree with the club making the South Stand supporters fund their own flags and banners. We are not a poor club, Reading should be doing all they can to make that part of the ground look as homely as possible and not making the supporters self fund. #readingfc

Well said Edward and you're point is fully correct. We are losing over £15,000 in income tonight thanks to the South Stand project. They are costing the club a lot of money and we need to stop it happening. They have just over 50 tickets sold in the South Stand tonight! Sad.

Somewhere between those two tweets he turned and went from proposing the club pay for the South Stand banners/flags because we're not a poor club to moaning about the South Stand costing the club £15k in lost ticket sales

[Old Man Andrews]

They aren't really rattling anyone, not subtle enough. Experienced Twitter users won't get involved.

Based upon this evidence I can only assume that Kes is indeed behind it all.

Yep. It was a little bit of fun a couple of times.

I think it's gone a bit stale because he's not actually seen anyone for the last few deadline days.

I like him and the concept (when it works - the Vydra/Ola John one was great) but I think the club have gotten wise to it and are bringing people in through back doors or something.

Club would be wise to get on board with it. At a time when there is a disconnection between the supporters and themselves this is something that everyone could have fun with. Get Jacob in to do some photos of the players etc, set it all up essentially. Wouldn't hurt.
