Is this going to happen to Bola?

Tweets around the same time as Bola's,
But will Bola escape punishment because he was a minor?

Do the FA have any common sense?

4 match ban would be brutal

 

[futureboy]

If only they could've got on with it and banned him while he was injured anyway.

Or just set themselves on fire, of course. That would work too.

Surely age has to be a mitigating factor as in criminal cases
But I'm getting a feeling those in charge will give Bola a similar sentence,

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

The FA is morally bankrupt, we all know that and it rankles with me that they sit in judgement in such situations.

I fear that Bola will get a similar punishment.

 

[JackG]

The FA should fine and ban themselves for repeatedly bringing the game into disrepute

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Surely it’s a completely different matter given Bola wasn’t classed as an adult? There should be hell on if received a similar punishment.

Rhetorical question

The same FA who are happy to condone a world cup in Quatar, where being a gay male is illegal.

I'm really glad that social media didn't exist when I was a daft and ignorant teenager. All fourteen year old boys are ars*holes and say stupid things. Ridiculous to punish them for that years later.

A four match ban seems incredibly excessive to me, but we all know it's probably coming.

Am not sure they can possibly punish in the same way because Bola was a minor.

 

[BoroFur]

Deal with the person based on who he is now, not who he was 10 years ago.

 

[Chris_Boro]

I would suspect some kind of warning about future conduct and a social media awareness course.

But this is the FA against Boro, so relegation to League 2.

I hope you are correct Rob, I really do.
But, this is the FA were are talking about........

They have already made an appallingly bad judgement in taking the case this far.
