Well if you're wanting to be tweeting the likes of rihanna etc maybe not, but why would you want to... more important people like joe brolly are worth winding up and now and again he bites

I've a bit of a predicament here... I've added Ger Gilroy to the list, he presents the popular Newstalk sports show which does GAA but Matt Cooper... does he do enough GAA to merit a place? He has like 70k followers but how many are GAA?

The only GAA he (Cooper) covers is a regular Friday evening slot around 6pm.

If nothing else, Twitter is fantastic for finding out scores. Gone are the days of forlornly hoping for an update on Aertel then waiting for some kind of corroboration because Aertel is often wrong.

Yeah, you wouldn't want to go tearing up betting slips based on what Aertel says and they're very slow to update the latest scores too. Neither speed nor accuracy there.

I find Paddy Power's betting - in - running great for keeping track of scores in bigger games, if I can't get a stream. Always up-to-date and accurate.
