Ireland AM presenter Simon Delaney had the best response when he was targeted by online trolls earlier this week.
The morning show host shared a tweet about Man United’s loss to Villareal in the Europa League final saying, “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.”
One follower responded to the tweet with some unfavourable words, calling Simon a “fat pr***”, and telling him to “Shut the f*** up”.
Simon handled the situation maturely and was praised for his response to the tweet, he calmly told the troll to “stay safe and well” and reminded him that he could unfollow him to change both their lives “for the better”.
Holly Carpenter tweeted her support for Simon saying, “I’ll never understand needlessly nasty people like this”.
Simon returned to Ireland AM this morning after a brief break while he was filming another project. He took to Instagram to share a snap behind the scenes on his first day back.
