A student has admitted posting racially offensive comments on Twitter about footballer Fabrice Muamba.

Liam Stacey, 21, appeared at Swansea magistrates' court after tweeting about the Bolton Wanderers player who collapsed during a FA Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

The 23-year-old, who suffered a cardiac arrest, remains critically ill.

Stacey, a Swansea University student from Pontypridd, admitted a racially-aggravated public order offence.

He was arrested after his comments on the social networking site were reported by other users.

He has been released on bail and is due to be sentenced on 27 March,

Prosecutor Lisa Jones told the court: "Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch and was believed to have died."

The court heard shortly afterwards Stacey posted the offensive comments.

Complaints

Magistrates were told police forces across Britain received complaints following the comments.

Stacey tried to "distance himself" from the tweets by claiming his account had been hacked, the court was told.

Magistrates heard he later tried to delete his page but he was arrested on Sunday at his student house in Swansea.

Fabrice Muamba, 23, collapsed during a match on Saturday
When interviewed by police, Stacey said he had been drinking since lunchtime on Saturday and was drunk when he made the comments.

He told police: "I was at the bar when I heard what had happened to Muamba. I don't know why I posted it.

"I'm not racist and some of my friends are from different cultural backgrounds."

Bailed

Stacey was close to tears as the evidence was given about his tweets.

The court heard he later texted a friend and said: "I said something about Muamba that I shouldn't have and tweeted back to some people who abused me. Getting police on me now which isn't good at all."

Stacey was told in court that he could be jailed over the comments.

He has been bailed until he is sentenced and has been ordered not to use Twitter and other social networking sites.

What lunacy. I reckon he was drunk and whatever the law decides, he'll pay for that for the rest of his life.

For this, death by hanging or, better, burning to death. The only way to deal with blasphemers and heretics in my book. They do harm to the state religion and the cult of man. They MUST be re-educated if possible, but if they do not recant their evil, swift destruction must follow. We prove our superiority and the right, by always and everywhere seeking out those that offend us: some say the true test of LIBERTY OF SPEECH comes when the offensive is uttered, when a man speaks that which we find objectionable, but we - my fellow devoted ones - know this a lie straight from Satan's bottom.

Deus Vult!

Ridiculous pc thought police bullshit.

• Midfielder's heart is beating unaided

Bolton Wanderers captain Kevin Davies recounts the moment the team realised something was seriously wrong with Fabrice Muamba Link to this video
Fabrice Muamba is "showing small signs of improvement" according to a joint statement from Barts hospital and Bolton Wanderers. Associated Press is also reporting that a friend says the midfielder is speaking again.

The midfielder remains in intensive care after suffering a cardiac arrest during Bolton's FA Cup sixth-round tie at Tottenham on Saturday night, but the London chest hospital said that, while he is still in a critical condition, there are small reasons to be optimistic.

A Bolton statement read: "His heart is now beating without the help of medication and he is also moving his arms and his legs.

"However, his long-term prognosis will remain unclear for some time. He is still critically ill and will continue to be closely monitored and treated by staff in the London chest hospital's intensive care unit."

It is now almost 48 hours since the 23-year-old collapsed during the Tottenham tie at White Hart Lane. Medical staff took two hours to get Muamba's heart working again and said on Sunday that he would be anaesthetised for at least another 24 hours .

"We are all after the same objective: to see that lovely young man, who has such a fantastic smile. That's what we want to see again," said his manager, Owen Coyle, who has remained at the hospital with Muamba. "When you look through what he's come through in his life already, he's a natural fighter. Also, he's a physically fit young man so I think those two things will be a source of help and encouragement."

Muamba left his home in war-torn Congo in 1999 and was reunited with his father, who had fled five years earlier and sought asylum in Britain after becoming a target for rebels.

The 23-year-old has overcome such a difficult start in life to become an England Under-21 international, joining Arsenal as a youth team player, before moving onto Birmingham and then Bolton for £5m in 2008.

Though not one of the most flamboyant players, Muamba was amongst the most industrious, making the shock at what has happened more acute for Bolton's captain, Kevin Davies, who spoke on Monday for the first time since the weekend drama unfolded.

"We all love Fabrice," said Davies. "I respect him hugely for coming from where he was to where he is now. He is one of the first into training and has worked extremely hard to better himself. He is always out there doing a bit extra. That is the reason why he has been so successful and has a massive career ahead of him."

Bolton's players had a team meeting at their Euxton training complex on Monday morning to be updated. They already knew the scheduled encounter with Aston Villa on Tuesday had been postponed. However, they are supposed to be in action against Blackburn on Saturday – a match Rovers are happy to postpone – and there have been some suggestions that they are not comfortable facing the prospect of a re-arranged FA Cup quarter-final at Tottenham. However, Davies said Bolton's next game was the last thing on his mind.

"Any of those questions are irrelevant at the minute," he said. "Decisions will have to be made but my immediate thoughts are with Fabrice and his family. The club will take a stance on it in the next couple of days. But at the minute we want to just try and help Fabrice."

As he waits anxiously for positive news like everyone else, Davies is convinced only the prompt action of medical staff, both at the ground and in hospital, on Saturday saved Muamba's life.

"The amount of people who were turning up, running around trying to get Fabrice sorted out was amazing," he said. "There is no doubt in my mind if it wasn't down to all those people, we wouldn't even be in this situation. We are all thankful to them that they have given Fabrice a bit of hope."

Davies has also been touched by the overwhelming support for Muamba from across the footballing world. Fans of both sides applauded the 23-year-old off the pitch and supporters at matches since have offered their own backing with a minute's applause. Numerous scarves and other tributes from competing clubs have been left at the Reebok Stadium.

"It is the first time in my nearly 19 years in the game that I have seen a stadium unite," he said. "It was touching but I was laying in bed thinking how sad it was as well. As professionals, we put a lot of hours in. We work hard and make a lot of sacrifices. But it seems that the only way you are going to get a ripple of applause away from your own ground is to get carried off on a stretcher.

"That is a sad state of affairs. Fans are quick to get off their seats if there is a mis-timed tackle. Maybe people have to ask why Fabrice Muamba runs 80 yards to put a last-ditch tackle in. It is not because he has anything against your team. It is because he is working hard for his own. If there is anything positive to come out of this, when you see supporters from all over, it would be nice if the fans could unite."

Managers of rival Premier League clubs have all offered their support for the player, with Arsène Wenger, Mark Hughes and Martin O'Neill all hoping Muamba makes a recovery.

Absolutely amazing. So, so pleased to be reading this positive news.

Early days I guess but that has to be a positive sign surely?

Maybe, just maybe, the speedy medical treatment he received has been the major factor in turning around something that could have been catastrophic.

 

[another generation]

Come on, lad. Keep fighting.

 

[law74]

Great great news, who cares if he ever plays again, as long as he is still alive, still able to walk and talk, teach that kid of his and enjoy watching his child grow up, that is the only thing that matters here.

I'm sorry if this had said before but I don't have time to read 60 pages and make surre. Apologies if it has, I just wanted to share something I just found out about Muamba.

The guy is amazing! To be honest I had never heard of him till the tragic incident, then I saw a news report which said he was studying accountancy and from DR of the Congo. This got me intrigued so I checked out his Wiki page and couldn't believe this bit:

Early life

Muamba was born in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo).[1] His father fled the country in 1994, because of his political views and arrived in the United Kingdom seeking asylum. In 1999, he was granted indefinite leave to remain, at which time he was joined by the rest of the family.[3] They settled in east London, where Muamba attended Kelmscott School in Walthamstow.[4] Despite having arrived in Britain aged 11, unable to speak English,[5] he went on to achieve 10 GCSEs and A-levels in English, French and Mathematics.[6]

Granted he is one of those guys who is naturally talented at various things. But you don't achieve that much without hard work and discipline. It was a breath of fresh air after reading about footballers going bankrupt or risk bankrupcy. All to easily Muamba could of just focused on playing football and got carried away with the money. But instead he focused on studying for masters degree.

His football career is over, but I hope he gets well soon and pursue's his other talents. The guy is an inspiration!
