Student who mocked Fabrice Muamba on Twitter may be jailed Medics attend Fabrice Muamba after he collapsed during an FA Cup tie at Tottenham. Stacey's comments provoked anger among Twitter users. A student who mocked footballer Fabrice Muamba on Twitter after he collapsed during a match could be jailed for inciting racial hatred. Liam Stacey, 21, provoked revulsion with comments made while the Bolton Wanderers star lay on the pitch. The 23-year-old midfielder was left fighting for his life after suffering a heart attack during an FA Cup tie on 17 March. Horrified fans watched live on TV as he fell to the ground during the quarter-final clash at Tottenham Hotspur. Police were inundated with complaints as members of the public reported the student's comments. Stacey, a Swansea University biology undergraduate, was quickly tracked down and arrested. Last week, he admitted inciting racial hatred when he appeared briefly at Swansea magistrates court, close to tears. The first of his messages began with "LOL [laugh out loud]. Fuck Muamba. He's dead!!! A number of people took him to task for his views and he responded with a further string of racially offensive comments. Stacey was released on conditional bail but was warned that all options would be considered when he is sentenced on Monday. Muamba's recovery since suffering a cardiac arrest 10 days ago has been described as "miraculous." He remains in intensive care in hospital where his condition is said to be serious but stable.
