Conn is Cricket NSW's Communications Manager, as well as a prominent voice within Australian sport. His 30,000 twitter followers - many of them assumedly not angry football fans - are privy to breaking news and expert opinion on all things bat-and-ball.

But controversially among the online Australian football community - the aptly named sokkahtwitter - Conn's account also provides a platform for some rather pious views on a rival code.

Conn's previously come under fire for repeated comments about Australian football, the A-League and fan violence, with some football fans perceiving Conn as a 'bandwagon-jumper', eager to use problems within the sport to further his anti-football ideology.

Many of Conn's own tweets against the beautiful game are unfortunately unavailable, although you get the idea.
