Live-tweeting has become a trait of the modern media world for sport teams.
Teams regularly tweet updates from games for fans who may not be able to attend. Whether it's a team at the highest level on an international level, or a local team, almost all sports teams live-tweet their events.
On Monday afternoon, Sleaford Town's Twitter account went dead for an hour as they were leading 3-1 against Boston Town in the United Counties Football League Premier Division. After 5pm, the mystery was finally solved.
Sorry for break in tweets. I came on as a sub for Millard. Other subs were Anderson for Millington and Hollingsworth for Wright

Sleaford's Under-18 captain Harrison Allen was the guest tweeter for the day, despite starting the game on the bench. Sleaford only had three subs on the bench, so there was a relatively high chance that Allen would have to make an appearance.
