Police join in trolling of Bristol City Taylor signing – snake escape

League One star Matty Taylor has been in and amongst the goals for Bristol Rovers this season, scoring 16 goals in 26 league appearances.

Such a prolific output is always going to get a striker noticed and teams in needs of goals often start to circulate like footballing vultures, slowly circling in ever-decreasing circles as they wait to pounce.

As it was, Rovers’ star striker and bountiful hitman didn’t have far to go to stretch his footballing wings, only the five miles or so from Bristol Rovers’ Memorial Stadium to Bristol City’s Ashton Gate. This cross-city move hasn’t gone unnoticed, as seen by the following local police tweet.

Fans have taken the police trolling in good heart and with decent humour, the replies to the original message a testament to this.

Cross-city move is Taylor made for trolling commentary – Twitter reacts

There were some who saw it as merely horsing around.

Snakes in the grass and an inability to stop the opposition too.

This fan sees that it’s not the snakes on the plains that is the problem, but stolen frontmen.

For this fan it was simply a case of ‘well played sirs, well played.’

After takeover and promotion last season, Bristol Rovers sit in eighth place in the Sky Bet League One table, effectively two wins outside of the promotion play-off places. Matty Taylor is swapping this push for promotion for a striving to avoid relegation, City sitting uncomfortably in 20th in the Sky Bet Championship and only three points away from Wigan who currently occupy the last of the relegation places on 25 points.
