Close to unfollowing OldFirmFacts, some of the one liners are good but the constant stream of shit RTs of old tired jokes and plugging his column are doing my head in.

You can turn re-tweets off from his account. 

That said his best efforts will always appear on your TL via somebody else if you unfollowed him.

He was once accused me of stealing his patter because we posted a similar joke about Hibs fans being on the pitch at Hampden. He posted it first by about half an hour but I didn't see it until he tagged me in a rant about people stealing his jokes. He's a bit of a fud who has obviously got a bit big for his boots on the back of OFF's success.

Reported for joke-stealing.

Some of his tweets are very funny. The "there is no old firm" patter is very annoying now though.

That account's the best example of a decent account, if you don't follow it. People will generally retweet the hits.

I've been following @LowQualityRegen for a few years now and he's consistently one of the best on Twitter.

The recent thread where he played Football Manager 17 as the tempestuous Cowabunga Baby was outstanding - CLICK.

OldFirmFacts is another one of these accounts where the best will always get RTed anyway. Angry Salmond and the Celtic/Rangers Meltdown pages are others that fall into that category.

I'm sure I followed Angry Salmond and OldFirmFacts for a while and for every good tweet, there was probably about ten that didn't hit the mark and that got a bit boring after a while.

I saw someone mention US Soccer Guy yesterday.  I haven't seen that page since the last World Cup.  It was alright at times in the beginning but the guy should've given up long ago.

Angry Salmond got shit a long time ago. OldFirmFacts I'm quite a fan of. A few of the follower-submitted gags are poor but the majority are ok imo.

The problem with any of these parody accounts is when they start believing their own hype to the point where they think anyone wants to hear the admin's serious opinions as opposed to just jokes.

Angry Salmond was brutal for this. Turns out tweeting about Friday pints is no qualification to write on constitutional law.

The only parody account I was ever remotely interested in was Big Sam, shocked to see that it's still on the go after all these years.

It's woeful.


Boring James Milner is still a fairly amusing parody account. Grumpy Skeletor is pretty funny too.
