The Parody account of the BBC's official Sport account can tweet some absolute nonsense at times but at other times they are able to tweet really intriguing articles and news stories. The best thing about this account however, is the live goals they tweet (via lockerdome) on a match day, which makes not being able to watch the football not so bad. On countless occasions I have been sat at home doing research when I see Twitter going mad over an unbelievable goal before being annoyed that I am unable to watch it, but low and behold, minutes later BBC Sporf is there with a link to a replay of the incident- making it really useful when writing reports and articles instantly after a match, or sharing your opinion. If you can sift through the nonsense that is sometimes tweeted, I recommend you give BBC Sporf a follow.
