Type ''Blackburn Rovers'' in the search bar on Twitter home page then it should say ''People results for blackburn rovers'' at the top of the right pane, click ''view all'' and it will come up with Rovers players and Rovers related people.

I've followed some of the players for a short while and found it tedious.

They may be great(?) with their feet but not with their tweets.

Most of them are just young boys, and it shows.

I soon get tired of their inane prattling and swiftly unfollow.

Adolescents with too much money and too much time on their hands.

Even the more senior players are hackneyed, with their over-inflated egos and tiresome crusades.

They toe the line of not upsetting Venkys and continually court favour from other suitors while looking for an exit from Rovers.

Others just tweet while times are good then disappear when the going gets tough.

The only one still follow is @martinollson3

On the other hand, Rovers supporters on Twitter are great.

Every single one of them.

Honest.

Cheers - @BrisbaneRover

I notice Jaden Hall disappeared after his rant after the Everton game

[Tom]

Youth player, criticised fans after everton and said the owners pick the team

[alexanders]

Follow martin olsson and zac aley, but a lot of fans. Twitter is much better than facebook IMO. More privacy and not people bigging up themselves.

@alxsgf

[Tom]

It was more specific, he tweeted in defence of the team and some people replied and he replied to them in sorts, maybe took it a bit far

[Pitty]

If anyone wants to follow my for some strange reason I am at @apitt100.

[Pitty]

Sorry for my ignorance there; never heard of him before.

So... he claims the owners pick the team... and at the same time criticises the fans. Was he criticising those at the match or just the fans in general?

He must have been released as he is on trial at sunderland.

hi all,

my twitter is https://twitter.com/#@BfsRightHandMan

this was before the big man left anyone can follow me if they want

[Jarvefromossy]

Samba has gone very quiet on twitter, Roberts is still tweeting & I wonder if he'll spill the beans when he inevitably moves on? @jarvefromossy

[promoted2001]

A company I used to work for did the Arsenal web site and we had a page for all the player tweets. This was swiftly reduced to just a few choice players as we figured out how pointless their tweets were and weren't always "safe for work".

Has anyone seen http://paper.li/ ?

It's a newspaper that is generated automatically using the links from the tweets of the people that you follow... So, if someone has or were to open a twitter account that only follows people that tweet about Rovers, then they could use http://paper.li/ to create a BRFC newspaper!

I haven't the time but it'd be great if someone did...

If I haven’t explained myself very well, or to see an example, check out my charity's newspaper to see what I'm on about http://paper.li/worl...eprg/1305800094

Zac Aley is very good at responding to fans. Well he talks to me on Twitter anyway. Olsson is good as he doesn't clog my time line. @Prattly if any one wants to follow.

Do any other BRFC reporters / podcasters have accounts?

Thanks!

[Glenn]

The site has long since curated a number of twitter lists, these include

@brfcsdotcom/rovers-players

@brfcsdotcom/rovers-youth-players

@brfcsdotcom/former-rovers-players

@brfcsdotcom/rovers-news

@brfcsdotcom/other-rovers-related

@brfcsdotcom/rovers-fans

@brfcsdotcom/brfcs-staff

I also have a couple of other private lists for ITK people, influential fans and Rovers staff, but they're not public for obvious reasons.

Deftangel also has a fans list at

@deftangel/blackburn-rovers-fans

I hope they help

[TugaysMarlboro]

Cheers Glenn, had no idea about how the twitter list works. But just subscribed to a coupleof the brfcs ones.

[John]

How do the lists work?

[Glenn]

They collate tweets from all the member accounts into one feed that they can be followed just like a person.
