Club right to act against Livermore abuser
A shame that much of the media coverage after the West Brom game centred on Jake Livermore's altercation with a Herbert in the Betway Stand. The actions of one idiot have detracted from a good night. If he's guilty the club are right to act against whoever it was. You can understand why Livermore reacted the way he did and he should be exonerated by the FA. Players can expect general abuse in football. But fans who taunt anyone about their dead child are the same as people who issue death threats on social media, losing all sense of perspective and decency. This miscreant is better off out of our club.

So True. Shows how bad a percentage of football fans are . Also shows that football can be such a horrible sport. There is banter but abuse shows what an noxious industry it is. From referee baiting media,fans,clubs,players and agents it terrible.
Sometimes l'm so angry with myself that l love the sport
It is only a very small minority and I guess all clubs have them. But does leave a very sour taste...
I would agree but all this starts with one massive assumption, and that is that that is what was actually said. We don't know he was abused about his child's death. That's what Jake Livermore says and that might be what he thinks was said... but it doesn't mean that was actually what happened. Jake has a 'get out of jail' card and can not be criticised as a result but I'd wait for the facts first before jumping on the band waggon. Much mire likely he was criticised because of his own previous behaviour and who he used to play for... not such a good story though.
Agree the fan is innocent until proven guilty, but it doesn't look good - Livermore must have heard or thought he heard something offensive to react the way he did. Hopefully stewards heard exactly what was said and an give evidence...
