No action against taylor

The FA has issued a reminder to Mr Steven Taylor of Newcastle United FC in respect of the public nature of social networking websites, and the risk of postings being taken out of context, following a post he made to Twitter of four pictures on 15 November.

Steven Taylor has confirmed to The FA that the four pictures he posted on his Twitter account were sent to him by Massadio Haidara.

One picture was of Mr Haidara himself, one was of Vurnon Anita, and the other two were selected by Mr Haidara as “lookalikes” of Papiss Cisse and Moussa Sissoko. These facts have also been confirmed by Mr Haidara.

All four are players at Newcastle United FC.

Mr Taylor posted these pictures on his Twitter account as a response to those teammates laughing at his efforts to learn French.

This followed a picture posted earlier by Mr Haidara, apparently of Mr Taylor learning French.

In these circumstances, The FA will take no further disciplinary action in respect of this matter.

 

Don't really know why so much fuss was made of it in the first place, it was just a laugh among friends.

 

Anar, thought it was funny as fook myself

 

Disgusting... Lock him up and throw away the key!

Let's face it we are talking about an FA not known for doing the sensible, correct thing.

They've positively taken delight in making unjust decisions against NUFC in the past so why stop at this nonsense?

Sigh... That's 5 seconds of my life I'll never get back.

 

Funnily enough


Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has criticised referees' chief Mike Riley for apologising to West Brom after a penalty was awarded against them.
Mourinho believes Riley's actions after the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on 9 November may set a dangerous precedent.
Albion were moments from victory when referee Andre Marriner awarded Chelsea a penalty from which they equalised.
"Nobody called me to apologise that it wasn't a free-kick against West Brom for their second goal," said Mourinho.
The Portuguese was responding after Albion manager Steve Clarke revealed Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB) head Riley had phoned the club to apologise for Marriner's controversial decision following Steven Reid's challenge on Ramires.
West Brom sent a letter to the Premier League and referees' body highlighting four penalty decisions that had gone against them in the opening 11 games of the season.
"I am curious to know if people see that as a normal situation, if now on it is going to be the same for everybody [to get a phone call]," added Mourinho, ahead of Saturday's match at West Ham.
"At least now the referees know, they know one thing. If, in a controversial - I'm not saying a mistake - decision that hypothetically - and, I repeat, hypothetically - favours Chelsea, they know they are going to be publicly exposed by their boss. That they know.
"They can make, hypothetically, mistakes, favouring other teams, nothing happens.
"If hypothetically - and, I repeat, hypothetically - they make a mistake, they are publicly exposed by their own boss.
"I'm very curious to know if it was just an isolated phone call. I'm curious to know if people see that as a normal situation.
"I'm interested to know if this is the start, that from now on it's going to be the same for everybody."

 

With today's technology, the ref should be able to see an instant replay of any incident he isn't sure about and make judgement on what most people in the ground have seen.

 

Absolutely mate

 

Tayls should know better like.
I think a Contractual twitter clause is needed.

 

I think there's been some talk of something like that.

 

Hmmm... I'd take care challenging any West Brom players in the penalty box over the next few games now this has gone public, and don't expect any penalties against them neither.

A policy of 'evening things up' is on the way folks!

 

would have to agree

 

When will they ever learn, two wrongs don't make a right.

 

We'll get a penalty soon then or play against, as we haven't neither have happened for a while.

 

Just a thought. If a big Champions League club were to offer Joey Barton a contract with a no-twitter clause in it, what do you think he would do?

 

Turn it down no doubt.

 

All players should be banned from twitter plain and simple.

 

Taylor likes stamp collecting apparently.

 

I'm glad that Saylor has got off, it did seem ridiculous, although daft from him.

What I want to know is which one is Haidara? Apparently on of these pics is Massaido, but I just can't see it.

As this has been a racist controversy I will NSFW it. Mods feel free to delete if you don't want this sort of thing:

Solve the issues in one fell swoop and the game would lose nothing for it in the process.

 

Ouch!
