"Derby defeat made city fans hypocrites"

Well, when we speak about Derbies 'hatred' will always be the main divider between each other but this time City fans have taken a step further down and have performed a great act of disgracefulness. It was quite hard for City fans to swallow the sounding 4-2 defeat against Manchester United last Sunday but rather than attacking the players who let them to their defeat the fans quickly found a new target for their mistreatment, Manchester City’s women striker Toni Duggan.

Duggan’s big mistake was that she posted a picture in her instagram page right after the derby game, with her teammate Isobel Christiansen and Everton’s Michelle Hinnigan posing with Manchester United head coach Louis Van Gaal. The timing of the photo was not gleaming, and Toni immediately removed the photo from her instagram page as well as apologized consequently via her facebook page, but that doesn’t mean she deserves the bombardment of abuse that she has received from the fans of Manchester City.

Throughout the footballing world, Louis Van Gaal is acknowledged as one of the legendary figure. The former Ajax, Bayern Munich and Barcelona boss has great experience with him and have achieved everything there is to achieve and there was no reason why anyone doesn't want to meet the iconic figure and Toni Duggan was no exception. It is a deceitful act done by the city fans to put their aim to someone who had nothing to do with the defeat at Old Trafford.

Earlier this day, Toni have score a goal against Birmingham City for 'MCWFC' to help her team reaching the Women’s FA-Cup semi-final but despite that, the 450 fans who were present to see today’s game felt that they every right to show their grubby attitude towards the innocent striker and some even tried to attack her bodily. And perceptibly these are the people who I believe have no whatsoever interest in watching women’s team or supporting the city’s other side.

It was quite normal for the City’s fan to be angry after the defeat, anyone would be angry after a disappointing performance, but to aim their repugnance at a player who gives her all for the Manchester City’s Women team who the majority of the fans have never watched is nothing but an act of complete hypocrisy.

 It was an awful moment for the Women striker to post her photo at a bad time but the reaction from the City’s fans were more reprehensible than Duggan taking a picture with the Manchester United’s manager.
