Twitter Whites

There's some very funny videos of Wheater on You Tube. Looks like he doesn't mind making a fool of himself, which is a good thing. Seems we have plenty of characters at the club.

During the outage fans tweeted what they did during those dark hours.
Ironically many of them tried to Tweet what they were doing...

Ŧєd)‏@doseofted: '#WhileTwitterWasDown I thought about tweeting that Twitter's not working ...then I remembered... it's not working.'

Louis Tomlinson.‏@1D_brilliam: '#WhileTwitterWasDown I realized I have nothing to do with my life'

Out of Town Girl ღ ‏@iLuvK1Drauhl: #WhileTwitterWasDown *refresh* *refresh* *refresh* *refresh* *refresh* *refresh* *refresh* *refresh* *refresh* *refresh* *refresh*'

Taylor Crawford‏@CrawfordTaylor: '#WhileTwitterWasDown I wrote 140 character notes on post-it notes & left them around random places at work'

Vicky Pollard‏@_vickypollard_: '#WhileTwitterWasDown i spent some quality time with my kids, shoplifting in Poundland'

Sad Arses!!

Hmmm, methinks you have something to do with the link.

[leonidas]

Thout you'd enjoy it, that's all. Never mind!

You know, I had an idle thought only the other day that even after 15 years the Reebok still fells like a temporary home, and that the club are going to announce in the near future we're returnig to Burnden after the lick of paint has dried.

Football was better then, wasn't it? Or were we all just a little less cynical?

We paid less, the players were paid less and we expected less.

It's a golden-era thing, LK - a surprisingly common inclination to believe that everything was better roughly 20 years ago. But there's basis for it with BWFC: back then, we were (back) on the up. Had we been on the wane – like, say, Oldham, who left the top flight in 1994 and by 1997 were in the third division, where they've stayed since - I doubt we'd look back on it with such fondness.

On a wider scale, I'd argue that the quality of football is better these days across the four divisions, but that the fans feel far more disenfranchised and distant. Take Zico and Super-John up there: like many of their team-mates, often to be found out on the town after a good win. Would we be happy to see today's players downing lagers? No, because the modern game demands a professionalism that wasn't necessary 15 years ago. (Rioch eventually sacked Tony Kelly for persistent failure to lose weight, but it's hardly like Bruce was a pioneering sports-science buff: he used to send Jason McAteer over the road for the players' lunchtime pies.)

And you were younger. I wasn't.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

And you were younger. I wasn't.

Fair point there, too: Rioch era coincided with my uni days (Hull, so I kept the Burnden ST) and 96/97 coincided with a brilliant year professionally and personally. It helps.

[Wandering Willy]

Burnden was always loud and full.

And we always won.

That Wilson's bitter was bloody nectar!
