Today's tweeter Glenn Sheppard is a man with a heart for the beautiful game. Football becomes more than a sport to watch or participate in. It becomes an obsession, a passion, even a religion in some parts. Football is about comradery, strategy and an ability to work together as a team to achieve an objective.
If you're looking for tweets about the usual stuff - life, food, fashion etc. Then this is not the account for you. If, however, you love your soccer on both an international and more importantly local level then @wsafc is the account you will want to keep an eye on.
So what sort of things will you read on this account -
- F is for Frank (NZ soccer's version of Chuck Norris) - "Emergency services give way to @FrankJTurner #toughasfrank"
- O is for optimism - "I hope the new channel shows heaps of Spurs games as we are winning the league this season. #BALE #BALE #BALE"
- O is for outstanding achievement - "Congratulations @Socceroos on qualifying for WC. A fantastic achievement. #Brasil2014"
- T is for a tied game - "Halftime at Parrs Park 0-0. Both teams hit the woodwork. Fairly even game. #NRFL @AuckFootballFed"
- B is for barracking - ""@neilemblen keep up the good work boss. I'll get that balcony singing & chanting next week! "Give us wave Embers give us a wave""
- A is for allegiance - "Big day for the club today. Really looking forward to it. @WspringsFC #proud"
- L is for luck - "Good luck."
- L is for laugh - " haha - that would be classic" and "Ozzie, Ozzie, Ozzie! Cheats, cheats, cheats!!"
So if football is your thing and you are looking for someone local in the Auckland area who can keep you up to date with what is happening then @wsafc is just the account you are looking for.
