‘Someone’ has paid bots to post negative replies to Rangers official accounts

[Tagsbear]

I wonder who?

Every Rangers post is followed by replies like “I am a Juventus fan and was going to support Rangers, but decided to follow Celtic’ with identical tweets from ‘fans’ of other European clubs, utterly bizarre.

 

[silvershaker]

A club like no other right enough

Creepy nonce ba.stards

Yea mate, all 3 of them.

May as well end the thread.

 

[NDC bear forever]

I’m not sure it’s bots, it’s these accounts set up by wee guy who have automated replies on for Rangers Tweets. It‘s under every Celtic, Barcelona, Man City etc tweet

 

[mustn’t grumble]

Lloyds pharmacies loyal!

 

[Mr Wilton]

Someone fill me in on what that exactly means please?

 

[SuperGers07]

@penaldo being the worst

trolling sad act calling themselves Honest Rangers fans

 

[YOGI_GER]

I follow obsessed celtic fans on Insta and it's quite funny.

 

[TN8]

Any examples?

You pay for a program that will automatically post fake comments of your choosing.

Celtic apparently have more followers than us, yet we have almost a million more interactions a month than them which shows the real followers from the ones they bought.

Would anyone put it past them to buy bots to reply negatively to us?

I’ll have a look, the guy who pointed it out last night has been suspended, not for pointing it out, for something else I think.

All these bots are doing is giving us more interactions.

Muppets.

 

[allrightfeet]

Can someone explain what this is about to an old fart like me, please ?

 

[JD1872]

Someone should do the same to them and point out the big secret they have been covering up

 

[Coza]

Same thing happens on every NFL teams tweets. Same tweet repeats non stop. Very annoying.

 

[Mr Wilton]

You pay for a program that will automatically post fake comments of your choosing.

So you type out a response and some computer posts it as a response to anything that a targeted account posts? You can spend money on this?

Almost impossible to do via an API now for auto replies. Picked up by twitters filters and put to the bottom of the comments, if displayed at all.

These aren't showing in the " view other tweets" on pages so it's 100% paid for.

Thats today’s efforts, yesterday’s was ‘I’m a fan of blah blah, but I’m going to support Celtic’

[Sandbear]

What an empty shallow life you must lead to even think about doing this never mind giving time over to actually do it.

 

[Leopold]

I thought it was just VLs as opposed to bots.

 

[Mr Wilton]

Would this be expensive? Are we talking GB stuff?

 

[SimonLeBon]

Papists are obsessed by Protestant Rangers always have been and always will be.

 

[SuperGers07]

Someone had paid for trolling bot accounts set up by sad wee noncey sorts to spam the Rangers timeline on twitter with guff.

They are easy to spot
Names like Penaldo and using terms like as an honest rangers fan.

Got it now, thanks.

Bots? Probably 12 year olds. And 40 year old 12 year olds.

 

[BlackIsleBlue]

Do the accounts then have links in the bio in an attempt to direct to gambling sites or anything and make some revenue from it?

How bizarre.

Chad there looks like a football fan!!!

 

[Ubik]

that's so pathetic but what we come to expect from the mentally challengeds.

his vest says 'beast mode' very apt.

It’s tragic but you’d imagine the RFC account will mass block them

 

[Neptune]

"but then I seen" is about as Glasgow as you can get.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Weird stuff. Be good if there was some way to work out who was behind it.

I think kerrydale meltdown RT it

 

[Pepe Silvia]

If any one knows the locations of these bots let me know and I’ll kick their c*nt in

Yes mate, thats correct.

It happens all the time in the modern music industry in which having 1000's of likes on your profile to make you seem popular is more important than the music itself.

 

[Modfella]

This is just bizarre behavior, away and support your own club and stop thinking about ours,

 

[Godrup99]

Somebody (or multiple people) somewhere is that interested in Rangers they actually pay for shite like this. They know our kitmans name and what player has kids etc? Outside a few key players and the racist bigot, I couldn't name their squad, coaching or backroom staff, when or who they are playing. Ill give them one thing, when you believe they have reached the lowest rung of pathetic they somehow manage to find a way to sink further.

 

[Dennistounbear45]

This makes me smile.

They know the balance of power is shifting and they are trying every desperate trick to cling on to it.

Your example makes sense, unreal they’re spending money on that!

Edit: Kate Upton is magnificent!

To be fair wasn’t Celtic’s account made like four years before ours?

 

[nemessis]

Can't they just be deleted ?

 

[Kit_]

Imagine spending all your universal credit on spambots because you're that obsessed with everything red, white and blue.

 

[Jim Lahey]

Maybe someone on here could code one and do it against them?

I'm a man utd fan and used to like celtic until I realised they were complicit in covering up child abuse

That name is some anagram of paedo. Clearly a Celtic fan.
