realmadrid Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 They didn't do a preview to the Dundee match on the official site last Saturday and the Twitter person wasn't at the match, just adapting Dundee's tweets as live coverage of the game. I'd hazard at a guess at there being no TV coverage this week. [emoji1] I was there and tweeted the game as I saw it.There is no Twitter person but 5 of us who do it.

Ah that's meant to indicate that Twitter would be the main focus of live updates during the game for those not there. You would be amazed how many ask why there are no live Facebook updates etc. (With the current updates they take days to show up on people's time lines anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only dip in occasionally now as it was so bad it was basically a waste of time. Unofficial twitter consistently first with team news and the teams, different styles of giving info, long periods with no updates despite other outlets giving them and last to announce goals after Courier, opposition club's twitter and SSN are some reasons. Can't remember if the good reports were home or away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the games shite there's not much can be said really. It is what it is and until the whole media/PR department is created/overhauled then you just have to get used to it. Either that or volunteer.

Others covering games manage it. I did get used to it so generally stopped using it as it was crap. If I was in a position to volunteer I wouldn't need to be using social media for updates.

I think I'll just stay in the pub, need a right good all day session and the extra 20 odd quid can get me an extra 4 or 5 pints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Woolshed Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Two things:Whilst I’m not wanting to necessarily criticise the official twitter feed as it may not be their fault *, the slowness of getting team lines out pre match is shocking. Thistles record is outstanding in Perth. I’d settle for a draw to mathematically (I assume) make us safe. * it almost definitely is their fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live updates this afternoon on twitter from Dens Park." ? Never used twitter personally so couldn't comment on the service either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Can't make this one, which is good news for thistle given the only game at Perth I've seen us win in this good run was the Scottish cup game last year. I'd keep lawless in given his good record here and bring Storey in for Spittal after the game in October. Rest of the team same as last week.
