At 14 you aren’t allowed to work are you? If not, then how can the FA have jurisdiction?

[scram]

They're a law unto themselves

 

Social media training is now mandatory in academies

 

But not every kid attends an academy

 

Also teens especially can say/write things they don't really have an opinion on but they want to create an effect

[nevthelodgemoorowl]

Following FA rules is explicit in the game but chasing soft targets (in kids) is setteing a bad example. 

 

S & H CFA's Ernest Kangley was ruthless with Kids and Amateur Players Bigger fines and Bans than league players for very similar offences. 

[shireowl]

Same happened to Jarrod Bowen from 2012 when he was 15 are the FA really going back into the  past tweets from kids raking up what was said  from adolescent children ?

[Utah Owl]

Really hope he defends himself against this and that it goes for assessment by a properly independent panel. If it does the FA will get absolutely mullered and rightly so.

 

Total and ridiculous over-reaction to something that warranted nothing more than a quiet word out of the public domain.

[Plonk]

It does beg the question of what is the agenda here?

Are the FA employing someone to trawl through every players social media history?

Or has a member of the public / organisation spent time and effort doing the same?

What exactly are they looking for, or hoping to achieve by finding idiotic comments made by children nearly a decade ago.

Im glad we didn’t have social media when I was a kid. I’m capable of writing testicles now, hate to think what I was like at fifteen.

I have a confession to make that when I was 14 I shoplifted a Green 'Un and will now be handing myself into the Police this morning.

How can you 'bring the game into disrepute' when you are not involved in the professional game?

 

 

[latemodelchild]

PDepending on the social media platform he wrote it on, there's a chance he wasn't old enough to have an account.

Imagine how full courtrooms and prisons would be if every misdemeanor of our 14 year old selves were brought to light.

Using the terms “virtue signalling”, “cancel culture” and “political correctness gone mad” are going to get Jordan the usual flak from some quarters here, but he’s absolutely spot on.

 

Trawling social media accounts for historic reasons to drag someone through the mud now is an absolutely insipid practice. 
 

Penny for Warnock’s views. Boro should stand by the player and tell them to shove it.

Me too, got done for pinching marbles from Redgates. The old fella gave me a proper caning.

Can’t believe some low life is actually going through children’s accounts and then passing to the FA to charge. He’s obviously made a silly comment but there is nothing to suggest it’s the norm as they have had to go back that far to find it. 

The kid was 14 with no idea about life and life skills. 
Surely there should be a rule about searching kids media accounts. It doesn’t sit right with me

Doesn’t bear thinking about, just glad there was no social media in my day.

 

[marcx666]

Soon the FA will be charging players for things their mam put on social media when they were in the womb.....

[ANDY]

What gets me is that the FA are charging him over alleged homophobic comments posted when he was 14

 

Yet turn a blind eye to the World Cup being hosted in Qatar where homosexuality is punishable by death.
