Liverpool will not face any action from The Football Association will after their players wore T-shirts carrying a message of support for a fan who was jailed for the attempted murder of a Bulgarian waiter in 2005.

Liverpool players wore the T-shirts in the warm-up for match against West Ham on Monday.

Michael Shields was sentenced to 15 years in prison after being convicted of the attempted murder of Martin Georgiev in Bulgaria on a holiday taken after seeing his side win the UEFA Champions League final in Istanbul.

Liverpool's players were seen wearing 'Free Michael now' T-shirts while warming up ahead of Monday's goalless draw at Anfield.

Despite another man confessing to the attack, Shields was locked up and his sentence was reduced to 10 years on appeal. He was transferred to the UK to serve the remainder of his sentence, but his supporters have never halted their campaign to prove his innocence.

An FA spokesman said: "We have spoken to Liverpool Football Club today about this matter. We understand that Michael Shields' case is a very emotive issue and one that many Liverpool players and fans feel strongly about.

"Having heard the club's explanation we will not be taking any formal action, and we are satisfied that they understand the sensitivities around football matches being used as a platform for political messages."

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

I very much doubt the bloke convicted was actually the perpitrator, as firstly, another man confessed, and secondly, the chances of Liverpool players supporting a guilty man? Unlikely...

It's a stupid thing to do tbh, many people go to prison for a crime they did not commit, but just because hes a kop fan they want him to be let free.

You're just guessing at all of this aren't you? :lol:

We don't know the full-story but every news article I've read refers to the man as innocent as if it's a fact.

Btw the other guy (who confessed and withdrew his statement) was also a Liverpool fan, so the argument that Liverpool are only supporting him "cos he's a scouser" is rubbish.

Winner.
