Train company’s attempt to troll Louis van Gaal after Europa League loss backfires

Kevin McGillicuddy

This is hil-ar-ious.

Or maybe it’s not. Actually, it definitely isn’t, but Virgin Trains are probably feeling quite pleased with themselves after they took trolling to new lows, or highs, depending on if you are a Manchester United or Liverpool supporter.

Anfield witnessed a 2-0 win for LIveprool over the Dutchman’s side last night, and after the game, Virgin Trains smelled an opportunity to darken the ex-Ajax man’s mood even further by cramming as many digs as possible into an online ticket purchase.

Original we suppose.

Firstly it’s a one-way ticket, har har, the ticket number is 2-0, boom, and the best/worst of all, the contact number is ‘don’t bother’.

Virgin’s attempts to troll backfired slightly however, as most people felt the insult was a bit rich, considering the company is widely criticised for its own perceived poor service.
