Fans have took to mock League One outfit MK Dons for being left ‘rattled’ in their tweet replying to a Taunton Town supporter.
It was a comfortable victory for the EFL outfit against the National League South side on Saturday afternoon, winning 6-0 at home.
There was an impressive following for the minnows, over 900 sat in the away end, helping to make the overall attendance of 2,739.
UNBELIEVABLE ๐
Thank you to all 908 of you who made the trip this afternoon! #UpThePeacocks @EmiratesFACup pic.twitter.com/yOeHXWD2og

Goals from Dawson Devoy, Will Grigg, Darragh Burns, Mohamed Eisa and a late brace from Conor Grant saw the League One side safely into the hat for the second round draw at the expense of their non-league opponents.
The result sees the Dons extend their unbeaten run to three matches in all competitions despite a disappointing start in League One.
The Peacocks were well backed by a vocal support and will now turn their attention back to their debut National League South campaign.
The home side opened the scoring following good work down the left, Devoy’s free-kick somehow finding the bottom corner through the wall in the sixth minute.
Grigg turned home a low Daniel Harvie cross seven minutes later, and it was 3-0 when Burns guided home a lofted Devoy pass three minutes into the second half.
Lively substitute Eisa then added a fourth with 16 minutes remaining with a fantastic bending strike from 30 yards.
Grant, another Dons substitute, completed the rout with composed finishes in the 82nd and 84th minutes.
After the game, a Taunton fan wrote to MK Dons, saying: “@MKDonsFC should of stayed at Plough Lane… joke of a club.”
In the post, is a photo of an empty looking Stadium MK, showing no fan in sight, just a corner of the ground and its seats laying bare.
This caught the attention of MK Dons, who have an average attendance of just over 8,000. The club responded back to the Taunton supporter, saying: “Hope you enjoyed your visit to Stadium MK and thanks for supporting us with your ticket money – it is much appreciated! Have a safe journey home ๐”
