not often I agree with Ashely Cole but he was factually correct with his tweet (in so far as they're a bunch of t***s )

I wonder if and it's a big if the clubs start to look at the need of the FA, what would be wrong with the football league or the PL looking after their own affairs in terms of discipline? The FA have carved out a position for themselves to make a lot of money off the success of how teams are run and the PL but for what benefit of the game itself?Comment

It was suggested that Cole might get a three match ban?! So a white man calling someone an FBC is a four match ban, a black man calling the FA a bunch of ****s (which they are) is likely to be punished with a ban 25% less than the white man calling someone an FBC and a mixed race Hispanic referring to a black man as black gets double the punishment of the white man who called the other black man a FBC!Comment

I'd love to see the FA give him a 3 ame ban. Not because I think he deserves it but I'd love to see the outcry over it and highlight the FA as a bunch of ****sFootball without Origi is nothingComment

Me too - if there's one thing that has been highlighted during all this nonsense it's that the FA are a bunch of ****s.Comment

They won't ban him I think. Rio Ferdinand got a £45,000 fine for his Twitter comments. I expect Cole will get much the same, mainly because the FA will want to avoid exactly that depiction of events. Plus they'll want to try to look consistent for a change..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

Having said that, it's the FA, anything could happen. I may have made the mistake of applying logic.

If calling the FA a bunch of ****s "only" results in a £45k fine then if I was a Premiership footballer I'd gladly take the fine.Comment

How can they be credible when they have David Gill as a board member? Isn't that a conflict of interest?Are we winning?Comment

Ashley Cole to avoid ban after apology to FA's David Bernstein
Ashley Cole will not be banned from England duty after apologising to FA chairman David Bernstein.
The left-back, 31, was charged with misconduct on Monday for using an expletive to describe the governing body after the John Terry racism case.
"He apologised publicly the day after. He saw me last night and he apologised personally," Bernstein said.
"He showed real remorse. I looked him in the eye and I accept that. He is free to play for England."
The decision of whether to include Cole in the starting XI in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Poland will be left to England manager Roy Hodgson.

Didn't Babel apologise for his RETWEET but still got fined anyway?Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

I wonder was it the same face of remorse when he confessed to shagging some bird to CherylComment

I listened on 5Live this morning. It seemed to me that he still had a disciplinary to go though, even despite apologising. It was more of a personal thing of AC saying sorry to the FA. I think he will still be fined.*Except Michael, who died.Comment

There are reports of a £300,000 fine.
Where does the money from fines go? I'm sure it was discussed recently, either here on in one of the papers..
