Ivan Toney shuts down Instagram troll with brutal ‘your mum’ dig after bookmakers comment
Brentford striker Ivan Toney responded brutally to a social media troll who was making a joke about the betting allegations against the 26-year-old. Toney was charged with 232 violations of the FA's betting rules last year. The case is currently under investigation.
Seven weeks ago, Toney took to Instagram to post an image of him walking down the street. In the caption, the striker wrote:
"I be chillin."
An Instagram user commented on the post five weeks ago:
"On you way to the bookies?"
Toney replied to that comment, writing:
"Nah your mums gaff."
Ivan Toney has been in fine form for Brentford this season, scoring 15 goals and providing four assists in 23 games across competitions. His brutal takedown off the comment has been doing the rounds on social media, with screenshots circulating on Twitter as well.
