Why was it made public in the first place?
S**** G****** allegedly served a six month drugs ban* under the guise of a hernia injury which was served mainly over non competitive summer months.
*Source is 'the internet.'0 -
Agree, whilst it's a prohibited substance, it's in no way a performance enhancer, the opposite in fact (not that I'd have any experience, first hand accounts to back that up, ahem)Bedsaddick said:Quite right too. The guy has suffered enough .

I've no problem with him not getting a suspension, but, in my opinion, the reason should be because it's not a performance enhancing substance.DaveMehmet said:

Some common sense shown by the FA here. If he gets done again, then yes he should be punished as the laws deem fit. Dave Mehmet is right, def not performancing enhancing from what I've tried, I mean seen, I mean heard5

Performance enhancing if the performance you want is chatting shit to the linesman for 35 minutes.17

Very glad some common sense prevailed0

Hope he doesn't get done for this if true... Surprised the scummy Hammer isn't in a Coma!!

All this calling him a tool back in 2015... when you realise the reason for his cocaine addiction... https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/469494/Hull-City-Jake-Livermore-Jake-Jnr-died-Portland-Hospital-inquest-mistakes
If this West Ham fan did indeed say something regarding Jake Junior, the fan deserves all he gets. (hopefully a ban and the shit kicked out of him)1 -
What the F is wrong with some people. There was a guy in Scotland that had fake eyeballs thrown at him by rival fans because he had lost an eye (not during the match I hasten to add).

Who thinks of these ideas and then decides it is not morally reprehensible to go through with them?3 -
You only have to look at the trolls on social media to see the mentality of some people. I honestly dont know what compels people to do this kind of thing.
If I'd gone through what Livermore has and the person did say something about his son I'd want to hurt that person badly.1 - Sponsored links:

I understand all the outrage at what the West Ham fan did but we all need to rise above things like that. When I was a child I was often told that 'Sticks ans stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me'.
Especially in the environment that they work in, footballers need to learn to ignore all comments and other attempts to put them off their game.
Now if it had happened in a pub......0 -
Some things you can't ignore, the guy crossed the line if he said anything about his son. And it wasn't to put him off his game, as he had just been substituted.kings hill addick said:I understand all the outrage at what the West Ham fan did but we all need to rise above things like that.

Exactly this, I can only imagine the burden of heartache and pain Livermore must carry, worsened by the fact it was a f*** up by the hospital that killed his son.Charlton_Stu said:

I am fairly certain I would have reacted the same or worse, I actually think he showed a level of restraint.

Long before this website existed, there was that email thing where loads of us were on an email list. I remember having an argument with someone about swearing at games. I was saying that it was a football match, and of course I was going to employ the F and C words, that people should expect it and if they didn't like it, don't come to football matches.Dazzler21 said:

Someone responded...why? Why is it ok at football matches? And I was stumped. And I think about that at times like these. When people are acting like being inside a stadium means the rules of life are different.
That's not to say a footballer shouldn't be able to put up with a bit of stick, or that fans should act like they're at a bus stop. Making life trickier for opponents is part of the home/ away game deal. But as others have said, there's a line where being a fan and partaking in that deal is acceptable, and being a social twat comes in. I don't know what it is, or if it is easily definable, but it's pretty easy to agree that if such a line exists, this is well past it.
Adults acting like maniacs in the name of "it's a football match, deal with it" is ridiculous, and they should be called out wherever possible. If Livermore had ignored this guy, he probably wouldn't be facing a stadium ban.5 -
