Ireland AM star Simon Delaney snaps back at cruel troll after disgusting comment

Simon Delaney snapped back at a cruel troll after a disgusting comment on social media.

The Ireland AM host had taken to Twitter to express his frustration after Manchester United slipped to a Europa League final loss to Villarreal.

The Red Devils lost on penalties after a disappointing performance - and the Virgin Media star wasn't happy.

He wrote: "Didn’t deserve it. They wanted it more. They had a game plan and it played out perfectly.

"United were clueless. Big players absent. Again. Progress, my arse."

But there was a grim follow-up, as one user replied telling the host to "Shut the f*** up", labelling him a "fat pr***".

However, Simon wasn't shaken by the vile comment and was quick to snap back with a response as he urged the troll to "stay safe and well".

He added: "By the way, you follow me, maybe try the unfollow button, top right, it’ll change your life, and mine, for the better."

Model Holly Carpenter was among those to send a message of support, writing: "I’ll never understand needlessly nasty people like this."

While another fan added: "Once he used that adjective he lost the debate. Guess there's no point explaining that to him either."
