West Ham defender Danny Gabbidon has been fined £6,000 and warned about his future conduct following comments posted on his Twitter account.

Gabbidon, 31, was handed an 'improper conduct' charge in April by the Football Association for a foul-mouthed message in the wake of his side's 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

The defender, who has since closed down his account, wrote: ''U know what, f*** the lot of you, u will never get another tweet from me again, you just don't get it do you. Bye bye.''

The FA confirmed they have fined Gabbidon for his comments in a statement on Tuesday.

''At an Independent Regulatory Commission, West Ham United defender Danny Gabbidon was fined and warned as to his future conduct,'' the statement said.

''Gabbidon was charged with improper conduct in relation to media comments made on the social media site Twitter on 16 April 2011. Having admitted the charge, Gabbidon was fined £6,000.''
