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.
