Carlton Cole accepts Football Association charge for social media comment

By , Senior Reporter
Carlton Cole accepts his FA misconduct charge over an abusive comment directed at a Tottenham Hotspur fan on Twitter.

West Ham United striker Carlton Cole has accepted his Football Association charge over a controversial post made on Twitter last month.

The 31-year-old made comments that were considered to be "abusive and/or insulting and/or improper and/or brings the game into disrepute".

Having been charged by the football body earlier this week, Cole decided against appealing ahead of this evening's 6pm deadline.

Cole, who was also fined £20,000 by the FA in 2011 for an identical offence, has made 17 appearances for the Hammers in all competitions this season, scoring three goals.
