Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakaaetia e te kaiwhawhai o West Ham a Carlton Cole te whakapae a te Football Association mo te whakawhitiwhiti korero a Twitter me te kaitautoko a Tottenham. I tae atu a Cole ki te 6pm i te ahiahi o te Taite ki te whakautu ki te whakapae mo te korero i 'he kino, he whakahawea, he kino ranei, he kino ranei, he kino ranei te kemu'. Ka hui mai he kōmihana motuhake o te FA ki te whakatau i tana whiu, me te kore here ki te whiu ka taea. Kua whakaae a Carlton Cole, te kaiwhawhai o West Ham United, ki tētahi whakapae a te FA mō tētahi tweet i whakaarohia e te FA he whakahe. I tweeted a Cole ki tetahi kaiwhaiwhai Tottenham i whakahawea ki a ia i runga i Twitter, me te kii ki te kaitautoko: 'F off you c***' Ko te whakapae e pa ana ki te whakauru o Cole ki te tautohetohe Twitter me tetahi kaiwhaiwhai Spurs i muri i te 2-2 Barclays Premier League o West Ham i White Hart Lane i te Hui-tanguru 22. Ko te 31-tau-tawhito, e 122,000 nga akonga i runga i te papaanga whatunga hapori, i whakautu ki tetahi korero mai i te kaitautoko Spurs a Stuart Hardy e panui ana: 'Hi @CarltonCole1 i te wa kaore o hoa kapa e peke i te poi i te wa e takoto ana koe i te whara mo te 2 meneti, kei te whakaaro koe kua tae ki te waa ki te karanga i te ra?' Ka whakahoki a Cole: 'F off you c***' i mua i te whakakore i te tweet. I taea e Cole te wehe atu i West Ham i te matapihi whakawhiti o Hanuere engari ko te neke ki West Bromwich Albion i taka. Kua raru te kaiwhawhai o mua o Chelsea mo nga pou o mua i runga i nga papaaho pāpori a ka whakaarohia tenei i roto i tana whiu. I whiua ia ki te £ 20,000 e te FA i te Paenga-whāwhā o te tau 2011 mo tetahi tweet i tukuna e ia i te wa o te hoa o Ingarangi ki a Ghana e korero ana: 'Kua karapotia e te manene te whare Wembley! I mohio ahau he rore! 'Ko te huarahi anake ki te puta haumaru ko te kakahu i te koti Ingarangi me te peita i to kanohi ki te haki o St George!' Kei te whakanui a Cole i muri i tana kaute mo West Ham ki Crystal Palace i Selhurst Park i Akuhata.
Kua whakaae a Carlton Cole ki te whakapae a te FA mo tana reo whakahawea. I whakautu a Cole ki tētahi tweet e mea ana: 'E kore ō hoa kapa e pana i te pōro i te wā e takoto ana koe i te whara mō te 2 meneti, e whakaaro ana koe kua tae ki te wā ki te karanga i te rā?' I whakautu te kaitākaro o West Ham, e mea ana: 'F off you c***'
