Albion Rovers have pledged “unconditional backing” to David Cox after their player retired from football during their game against Stenhousemuir having reported a slur over his mental health.
The substitute, who has spoken openly about his mental health struggles including a suicide attempt, walked out of Cliftonhill during the Scottish League Two clash.
The 32-year-old striker declared himself finished with football, having previously vowed to walk off the field if taunts over his mental health continued.
Stenhousemuir say they will refer an incident involving their player, Jonathan Tiffoney, to the Scottish Football Association.
THE ire expressed in relation to the proposed European Football Super League is no doubt real but still naïve. However, as Leeds manager, Marcelo Bielsa has pointed out, “I am not surprised … in all walks of life the powerful always look after their own backs”. Looked at it this way, the proposal is no surprise, and is in some ways the completion of a project that began as far back as 1992 when the English Premier League was established by 20 clubs leaving the English Football League to be “administered” by the Football Association, just when television money was about to go through the roof.
