But I was glad Livi acted swiftly to tear up the former World Cup player's contract after he had been only a month in West Lothian.
There are some football clubs who would sweep an incident like this under the carpet, but one person who won't is chairman Dominic Keane - and we thank him for that vigilant stance.
You want people at Almondvale who respect each other - not those who abuse their team-mates in the manner Berti did.
Livi must have spent a few bob on the signing of this experienced player, and I bet the chairman has lost a fair amount of it letting him go.
But hats off to Dominic Keane. You made the right decision and we're 100% behind you. With that spat behind us, we can concentrate on football now.
