The next on the FA's list to ban

NEW: @TheAthleticUK understands the FA have asked Charlie Austin for his observations regarding his tweets about Southampton fans on Saturday night. Austin's tweets included the phrases 'cheeky c**t' and 'shit fans'. #WBA #WBAFC

Well, sorry but IMO that's just asking for trouble, posting stuff like that!
He should know better and bloody well grow up.

Cheeky c**t and shit fans is worth a ban ?
I don't agree
Forest players were calling the referee a wanker all game on Saturday..

Charlie was being bombarded with insults on Twitter most of the weekend from saints fans yes he shouldn't have bothered but one tipped him over the edge hence the cheeky jibes...

Is it worth a ban
Really

[Amelia Chaffinch]

I don't really think there's any excuse. Even if it's not meant, footballers (and anyone in the public eye) must know that every word they say and write is scrutinised. In a world of 24 hour news channels, they're always wanting stories and scandals. He's voluntarily handed them one.

Can I also say he should be had up for bleaching his hair? He looks daft. 

[Beefy 1965]

I'm not saying he wasn't stupid but in his defence as I'm not sure how to post the conversation that I have seen on Twitter Chaz was accused of not looking after his kids and responded as any dad would.
Then his given 3days to respond yet Casillas at Leeds Racially abuses Leko at Charlton and have evidence to back it up .....
That was last November,
I've seen a lot worse on Twitter I just want to know why it's always Albion players who are picked out

Here's another one ,
Harry Maguire has deliberately kicked out tonight at Batshuai for Chelsea and nailed him in the nuts ?
Will he get a retrospective ban from the FA ?

Not worthy of a ban, but definitely worthy of a sit down and explain the potential pitfalls and consequences of his actions.

[Ska'dForLife-WBA]

There is no reason whatsoever why the FA should be coming within a thousand miles of this. If he'd been dishing out racist, misogynistic or homophobic stuff then fair enough, the FA has a mandate to kick that sort of hatred out of the sport, but a few swear words exchanged with some gobby internet no-mark slagging him off? Please. Albion presumably have a social media policy of their own, and if Austin has contravened that then it should be dealt with in-house. If he hasn't broken Albion's own rules then it's none of the FA's business, full stop.

Fair point Ska'd
