Sentencing Stacey at Swansea Magistrates' Court, District Judge John Charles told him: "In my view, there is no alternative to an immediate prison sentence.

"It was not the football world who was praying for [Muamba].... everybody was praying for his life."

Writing on Twitter, Lord Sugar - former Spurs chairman - saying "Be warned idiots!," while Gary Lineker posted "Let it be a warning to all you immature souls. #thinkbeforeyoutweet".

Lord Sugar seems very mature and above all this indeed with his respone. Putting the racial part aside, Muamba is a person like everybody else, and every single day, thousands of people around the world collapse. How can a judge assume every is praying for him, even those who never heard about him before all this? If all people are equal, everybody would have to spend the whole day with praying.
