Lyle Taylor hits back at a Cambridge United fan via Instagram stories after being criticised for his performances at the club.
It was only in January 2024 that Taylor had signed for the U’s, where he’s scored three goals across 14 appearances.
But it seems he has failed to impress some of his side’s fanbase, with some taking to give his grief, but now he has responded to them, giving the fans a pice of his mind.
Harvey Keates said: “Lyle Taylor what a scummy man, telling his own fans to fuck off, hope we never see him in a Cambridge shirt again.”
Taylor, 34, replied: “So a whole stand of Cambridge fans can call me a wanker and boo me, but god forbid those same ‘fans’ get told to fuck off! Pathetic.”
Lyle Taylor what a scummy man, telling his own fans to fuck off, hope we never see him in a cambridge shirt again 👍🏻

The remark is said to have happened in Tuesday night’s League One game between Cambridge United and Wycombe Wanderers.
A win would have seen the U’s safe with a game to spare and they looked on course to achieve that, however, with 7 minutes remaining, Lyle Taylor brought down Lonwijk and Leahy netted his spot kick.
It means Cambridge’s fight to survive goes down to the final day of the season and they face a trip to already relegated Port Vale.

This is how Twitter users reacted as Lyle Taylor hits back at a Cambridge United fan after being called out for telling his own fans to ‘f*** off’…
@BenWellsCAFC: Lyle Taylor headloss #cafc
@ConnorOwen2: Lyle Taylor losing his head on instagram I assume we’ll never see him in a Cambridge shirt again, two good games he had, cost us more points than we’ve won good riddance 👋🏽
@rDuckyy_: Just seen Lyle Taylor has thrown his toys out the pram because fans are calling him out for his shit performances 😂 Get to fuck, never liked him when he joined. Still don’t like him. Get a grip of yourself 😂
@nathanstokes08: Disappointed with his reaction and him not understanding why fans are so upset, they can see since Harris left he’s not been at it and in a relegation fight we need all hands on deck!
@OscarD12125: Sorry but I have to agree with Lyle Taylor from Cambridge United why give him stick if you can’t take it back 😂
@paul8290: Just one stand, Cambridge need to up their game 🤣 have a game at The Valley Lyle and you will have 3 stands calling you a wanker and booing you 🤣 #CAFC
@Cmchunk62: Hate to say it but our fanbase already knew that
@ScottIsADud: The #cafc fanbase sends its sympathies. Taylor is genuinely unlikeable man.
@JK_dcfc: Hahahahaha crybaby prick 😂😂😂 can dish it out trying to be a shithouse, but starts crying on Instagram when he gets stick #dcfc #dcfcfans
@Danf1826: Keates vs Lyle Taylor 🥊
@mickeymfc: Keates living rent free in someone’s head wow 😂
@_nam11: Thing is, he could get you a goal out of nothing…
@richard_pufc86: Don’t blame him really
@JamGoodwin42: Lyle Taylor is a……..
@jblock_webb: Heads gone!!! That’s quality. 😂
@paulstdavis: Oi nah, if Lyle Taylor wants to burn Cambridge to the ground thus sending that fraud of a striker he plays with down with him. I’m here for it 😂 I’m locked and loaded on ear cupping memes for days #CAFC
@Jeff24762457: hopefully he never plays football again
@jackmarchant14: What a man
@ZFE95: Gotta make him right. We moan about footballers become robotic. In any other walk of life you’d be told to fuck off, so why’s football different?
@Fletcher72: Lyle Taylor telling your own fans to fuck off, your a shit cunt with no class don’t bother going Vale Saturday we don’t fucking need you 🟡⚫️
@platty82639487: Jeez he has zero respect for the people who pay his wages ! Let CAFc down when he refused to play out his contract in a relegation battle in covid on basis he was leaving on a ‘life changing’ contract. Even loan players played 🐍
@itskurnsidiot: Not surprising at all, an absolute troll of a player. Quickly went from hero to villain as a Charlton fan. CAFC and CUFC sharing the delight of Lyle Taylor 🫡
@MiloTakeda8292: hes a waste of wages
@EMason_01: Lyle Taylor bottling it during a relegation battle? Surely not #cafc
@hazzawfc12: He seriously fell off after leaving Charlton
@JWJB_CAFC: Surely it’s time for him to retire and get back to his favourite hobby… shagging male brasses 👀
@Tomw3465: Surely gotta be one of the biggest bellends in football 😂😂
@jwayball: Let me guess, he was being abused and the fans have got upset when he’s had a pop back 😂
@finnwwfc: 🤣🤣 thank god he’s gone
@Avesycufc: whichever football club employs Lyle Taylor next season need to have a hard look at themselves in the mirror cos he’s a sad excuse of a ‘professional’ footballer. never seen someone care less about being on a football pitch at Cambridge United
