Simply trying to put my head above the parapet and answer what's being said. That and nobody got me Inspirational Quotes Volume Two for Christmas, so we're stuck. For what it's worth, we're all trying hard to bring extra stuff aside from what's happening on the pitch. Inside Motherwell, for example. The wait to get back into the stadium is infuriating, I know. I don't think anyone here is having a personal pop at anyone doing the social media. By and large the content is good. The Inside Motherwell stuff is dead interesting (for me anyway). Running a social media account for a club that isn't winning must be a pretty thankless task. Where I find it infuriating is posting "some wrongs to right" after a game where we plainly made a complete arse of ourselves. Seeing it being spun in such a way as to say we were wronged is a bit weird. Do I think the social media work is good? Yes. Do I also think there's a point where it can be a bit tone deaf to folk who watch us every week? Also yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 If I ever find myself getting a bit pissed off at something we've posted I just cast my mind back to Twist and Pout or simping for Alex Bruce and it all seems insignificant in comparisons. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangemouth Bairn Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Can’t believe it’s been 13 years since Phil O’Donnell passed away. An absolute tragedy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santheman Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 As a "yer da" I can remember the time when the only information available about what was happening at the club was what you read in the papers (and that wasn't a lot). It was very frustrating trying to find out what was happening behind the scenes and relying on your pals telephoning you to let you in on the latest rumour. You practically craved information it was that thin on the ground. We've now gone full circle to the point where you practically know every time a player has gone for a shite and social media gives everyone the chance to voice their opinion. Sometimes it feels like information overload. Something in the middle would be nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it that way, it’s for the team to right things. Starting with Trev bollocking everybody to get them in the right frame of mind.

Busta Nut Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I don't enjoy the snippety parts of the socials at times. After a honking loss "we need to improve" & "Putting extra hours in" are not the type of simple things I like to see. Regardless if it's a snippet from the audio in the vids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 6 hours ago, Ron Aldo said: Our recent form plus the lack of "proper" fitba could be getting to me and I'm probably ranting about nothing. Please feel free to call me out if that's the case but it feels like we've left a 15 year old lassie in charge of our social media recently. This is me TBH. I think I'm normally at the positive end of the spectrum as far as yer da's go - but the lack of actual games to go to has made me variably uninterested (I've "missed" plenty of games this season where the stream is free for me and haven't paid for a single away game) and snarky about stuff that is being done with the best of intentions (like trying to put a positive spin on a highlight-less season). FWIW, I don't think the output from the club has got worse - you could actually argue the opposite as they have to do more with *way* less - but without the context of a live game to base it around, it does come over as pretty redundant at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I honestly think Ryan Murrant has brought out more seethe in me than any player or manager. I've remained relatively placid throughout relegation dogfights but I was regularly fucking fizzing at some of the shite the official account was hitting out with on Twitter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
