Club officials today tracked down Jordan Byrne and interviewed him regarding the tweets which mocked the death of Mr Sharp’s infant son, Luey Jacob.

Byrne admitted that he was responsible for the posts which were published after Saturday’s game at Bramall Lane.

Read that on the BBC at lunch time (front page on the news site as well).

Not condoning what the lad posted and Derby are right to have given the lad a ban but for life?? Seems a bit OTT to me.

Thought about this and my first impression was that Derby were being harsh over a keyboard warrior. But his comments were disgusting and it's about time these pr!cks engage their brains before pressing enter. So good and well done Derby.

It must take a horrible sod to tweet something like that.

I've got no sympathy for him. He's banned from watching the team he supports. Boo hoo. I doubt it'll feel anywhere near as bad as what Billy Sharpe and his wife felt when they actually lost their son.

Good on Derby County FC.

Good.

No "E" on the end of Sharp chap.

Agree.
It's about time spewing out vile crap like this online had real consequences for the idiots doing it. Spot on Derby.

How could I be so stupid?

Good on Derby. People need to learn words (especially on line) have consequences.

Not condoning this in any shape or form, but idiots post stupid shit after a few shandys and a defeat. He deserves punishment but a lifetime ban is a bit harsh. If he showed genuine remorse and was pissed up when he wrote it a season ban and a good talking to would have been suffice.

The comments were vile and disgraceful but a lifetime ban seems a tad harsh, I wouldn't be surprised if he'll be able to appeal the ban in a couple years and get it reduced.

Well done to Derby.

A spiteful, typical football troll, thing to type.

A lesson to other internet cowards.

Glad to see that the Police tracked down and are dealing with other scum that laughed at Bradley Lowery and his family.

I genuinely don't understand how anybody can stoop so low and mock somebody about a dead child. Yes it's possibly a bit tough a lifetime ban but sod it i won't lose any sleep over it.

Good, But a life time ban seems a little insane.No doubt his ban will be longer than the social media platform he posted it on will be around for.

I can't understand anyone mocking a dead child even when drunk.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Stupid, very stupid. I don't agree with a lifetime ban though. I like to believe we can all forgive people at some point....he obviously needs to earn this.

Lewis Dunk was lucky that he was still able to play against Mr Sharp after his attempted murder in 2011

Well done Derby, all you have done is set yet another ridiculous benchmark that other football clubs and organisations will be pressured or forced because of your actions into following.

Yes the words were disgusting and should not have been put out there, and yes he should be punished. For a LIFETIME !!!! That is madness.

You don't get life for murder, so how can they justify it.

Its another example of the nanny state we live in, and another case of look at us, we are all goody two shoes how we have dealt with this.

What a complete joke. Pathetic.

This Country is soft enough as it is.

Good to see Derby showing Leicester how to deal with a certain kind of "supporter"...

I'm sure some Derby fans were given banning orders for homophobic comments at the Amex one year.

Saying that though, out of all the midland clubs i have always found Derby fans decent.
